Gee, I wonder why?

a torrent would be nice

This is so bad, it's good.

>first achieve, then criticize
What are art critics?
What are journalists?
Do I have to be a chicken to judge the taste of an omelette?

So what this translates into is an RNG roulette to get an item with magical proteins, then craft a stamina/dmg res potion out of it.

I am not quite sure how the whole protein thing conjoins the mod ideology of realism, but as a gameplay mechanic it seems to not contribute much.
It is more of a background enhancer than a core mechanic like medkits.

I am using my slav eloquence to argue about it in some update's comment section. Not a lot of fannies are flustered, mostly because the locals mostly comment to voice their appreciation of the work, then leave. Still, something is going on.

Was there any harassment? Death threats, disinfo, spam, anything that violated the rules of the site? I am not implying anything(except I obviously am), I am just assuming that you have a more complete picture of the events than I do.

Now is the comment section barred to anything but constructive criticism? How is it so if half the comments on this dev report alone are mindless exclamations of joy that contribute nothing to the creative process?
Do you think the devs should ban all of these commenters as well?

May I just say that you are going a little bit overboard. I may not like what Todd or all these joyous appraisers here write down, but I will devote my time to rant about the potential of everyone to contribute to an idea being stumped by unreasonable zeal of the idea's supporters.

That is quite understandable.
But does an expression of a personal opinion really warrant a removal from the discussion altogether?
Or was Todd doing anything more serious than commenting on the mod updates?

Todd, whatever happened with the whole Misery thing?
Did they ban you or what?

Where is Todd by the way?
It feels much less homey here now that he is gone.
He was also all in all the only person who would be up front about his criticism of the project.
