It’s like nobody read their OC Bible. “Thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind”.

NMS was pushed out way too early. They had a lot of really big dreams about how they wanted the game to look and they ended up falling short of what they wanted before the game was released. A lot of people who bought NMS on release day felt like they’d been sold a bill of goods that Hello Games didn’t fulfill, and IMO their feelings were justified at that time. Launch NMS was buggy and had very basic functionality problems, and many players left it after a short time.

That was ten years ago. NMS has been developed and worked on for all ten of those years, with multiple huge content patches released every few months. NMS now is almost nothing like NMS at launch. There’s a whole lot more to do now. Hello Games has produced and added nearly everything that they promised during initial development of the game like player bases, player freighters that you can customize, a player hub where you can group up and do quests together, and more. They also massively revamped the inventory and storage system so it’s easier to manage.

If you already own it, give NMS another try and treat it as a new videogame. I enjoy it a lot more now then I did at launch.

Yeah Seneca Village wasn’t on the waterfront, it was right in the middle of the island. Plus, if you put a park on the waterfront, then the poors can enjoy the space without letting the wealthy monopolize it.

Don’t spend a ton of money on the sunglasses unless you need Rx sunglasses. Fancy name brand sunglasses are a scam - they’re all owned by the same company that creates a false sense of competition between their brands. This allows them to keep prices up on Ray-Ban and other expensive brands. Look up Luxxotica.

If you’re purchasing sunglasses for daily wearing and you know you’ll be wearing or carrying them into situations, just get a comfortable pair of cheapo polarized sunglasses from Walmart. Expensive sunglasses lose value as soon as they’re purchased and if you scratch them, they’ll be functionally and financially worthless from that point forward. Comfort is the most important thing, followed closely by style.

I read this years ago. Nice to see it’s still around. I didn’t realize we were getting so close to the date where it starts to happen in-story.

Mine sounds like a snare drum.

Saving this to remember the scotch line for later, and also to tell you that you should watch FDR: American Badass if you haven’t already.

King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Their live shows kick ass and they’ve got such amazing chemistry together. Love listening to them jam.
