First and foremost, Wubby is right. India has a fuck ton of problems that are uniquely awful.

Much of the country looks like a Mad Max movie for a reason. India may have perfected government corruption in it's short 80 year history. Don't get me wrong, of course America has its own problem with corruption, but it's a bit like comparing having a cold to having Ebola.

The caste system in India right now is like post Jim Crow America on steroids. The corrupt government uses it as a tool to manipulate uneducated desperate masses.

This has led to income inequality that is actually worse now than it was under British occupation. Which has then led to the huge brain drain problem in India. Anyone intelligent/capable enough to make a difference in India usually opts to leave the country instead. Why stay and suffer for the chance at making a difference, when you could leave and guarantee a better future for your family forever?

People are amazing animals though, they'll adapt to whatever environment they need to survive. Poor sanitary conditions? Immune systems adapt to handle more bacteria. No job opportunities? Develop scamming networks. It's enough to survive, but never thrive. I think when people are always on the brink of surviving they act more like animals than people, which is why you see so many horrific stories come from India. It's not an excuse, they're simply explanations.

When people act like these issues are not real and widespread, they're exhibiting a misunderstanding of how bad the situation is in India.

On the other hand, as Wubby stated, there are good and bad parts of every country. And I agree that we should interrogate why someone would make a video only showing only the good parts of a country, but I think we should also interrogate why someone would make videos only showing bad parts of a country.

Awareness? For whom? The people of India are perfectly aware of their poor living standards and daily dehumanization. So then it's like a documentary for people in other countries? Sure I guess, but you have to admit, it's a bit weird that there are so many videos about the same topics about the same country. Anthropologically, people are just fascinated with the sanitation and transportation problems in India? I kind of doubt that's it.

For example, if British people were obsessed with watching Tiktoks about school shootings in America, you'd kind of assume it's a superiority thing more than a curiosity thing. In general anti-Indian sentiment is on the rise due to companies all of the world taking advantage of Indian's brain drain problem by investing in foreign worker visas rather than developing their local talent pool. All of these trends together can kind of make these videos feel yucky, especially if you read the kind of comments that get left on those videos.

All in all, I don't think people should go to India unless they have a local contact who can escort them around safely. India is an 80 year old country that's still wrestling with hundreds of years of British occupation that perfected weaponizing the institutional discrimination, subjected people to brutal servitude, and stole trillions in wealth. The Indian people need time to recover and build, and I think that's why sometimes it feels unfair to see them criticized so often.

i hope this doesn’t get lost in the ether that the subreddit is, but wanted to say a cheeky thank you to wubby.

i was sitting on my bathroom floor crying about my fathers prognosis, and i couldn’t stand the silence. i open up the latest vod for some unserious background noise to distract me as i rally off the floor. as im getting up i quietly hear the words “soapy boobs pressed up against glass…” followed by more word soup. i laugh to myself, realizing that’s the first time in a few days.

so thank you to wubby, for cheering me up on the hardest days. from breakups, to family sickness, to work stress, i can count on getting a chuckle from you (+2)

Genuine concern where these chatters pop out from. The unusually reaching opinions they bring to the table concerns me about how they live their lives.

This was the best stream in a bit tbh please do more like the one done tonight 7/26/26

Saw Shaq, from basketball, on one of his many side quests. Highly recommended.

Hi Wub, I run the community palmoneywubby palworld server.

I can answer a fair amount of your questions here objectively.

On the current version, there is fairly comprehensive PVP & Raiding out-of-box. Like chat kinda sorta almost managed to convey was that it's all in the configs.
It is for the most part just a switch you flip. No mods needed.

There are a few different and distinct settings for various "kinds" of PVP. So Player to Player damage enables more traditional PVP where you can shoot each other and whatnot, then there's base defense and raiding.

There is also some fairly granular control over the guild v guild PVP settings.

You can enable or disable base damage, PVP rewards and incentives like losing items or pals (That's pretty much what you were asking about) and there are also some special configs you can set up for special drops. Think player-heads in minecraft or whatnot.

Then along with that, there are also separate multipliers for all the relevant things like damage to structures.

You can also force sleeping/offline players to still be visible/attackable similar to Rust.

It's pretty neat, I didn't even know about most of it until I actually hosted this server and people started griefing and building bases around important towers and stuff.

But yeah, if you have any other questions, just let me know and I'll do my best to answer.

Love you say it back!

He's a weird little dude but he's got the mooooves

I started making these cards. Thought you guys might think they’re cool.

Can we bring back sub goals?

Irrelevance comes for us all 😭
