I like how after the update there were a lot of anti-shitposters in this thread, and after a month they've all hosed off. Sadly, the quality of shitposting in this thread never recovered. Maybe that was the true goal of the winter update? Make even the haters give up? Job well done, chucklefish.

Well, I put in a lot of hours with the update -- more than I had in total up to that point, even -- and made a handful of mods, then I basically beat the progression and did the things I wanted to do, so I'm done playing it for now. Once the next update comes out, I'll probably put some more hours into it. That's roughly the same as I do for a lot of games, including Terraria, for instance.
I don't really chalk that up to a failure on the game's behalf, since I don't expect any game to have unlimited replay value. Though obviously, I do hope the next big update doesn't take another year.

Speaking of the game itself, they recently said the Teleporters will be available from a teleporter shop in the Outpost, so that's when you'll unlock them, and they'll come in multiple styles.
Also something about underground challenge gates, like small instanced arenas/dungeons that yield a big loot deposit at the end if you survive. The downside of this as far as I can see is that a lot of loot in this game is kind of worthless. I know that a lot of that is due to current balance and the way other systems haven't been implemented, but there's basically no interest for me in finding treasure chests.

I like Starbound. I enjoy it and I play it often. Sometimes I talk to people who do not like Starbound. I have no feelings about this, because the fact that some people do not share my tastes is not in any way important to me. I do not enjoy becoming arbitrarily angry about irrelevant things because I am an adult and the aimless frustration of my adolescence is behind me. Now I work and hug my family and eat home-cooked meals and sleep, and sometimes I play games, such as Starbound, while trying not to think about the terrifying inevitability of death. Also, I think the Novakid are neat.
