the weirder thing to me is we had spiked seltzer for years at the liquor store i worked at 2012-2015 and essentially never sold any of it, then white claw shows up and just starts selling like crazy

Bummed to see Syndicate on there. He was one of the first streamers I liked because he was so good at COD Zombies. Come to think of it, him and Chris Smoove (loved his MW2 videos) both are garbage (Chris was a big Trump fan in 2016).

I still like Ninja, Dr Lupo and Timthetatman, and from what I've seen all three are good dudes. Lupo just did a 24 stream for Saint Judes, and since 2018 he's raised 6 million for them. Amazing

Ninja especially has been talking lately about politics, how crazy trump is, and how important wearing masks and BLM are. He may have gotten flack and heat over the years, but it seems like he actually things its important to use his influence in a positive way amongst kids.

Alright, I'm either going to get this my first try today or I'm going to spend all day dying horribly

I got onto sun station first try today! Well, second try, first try I overslept at the campfire and missed my window.

The ending of this game is perfect, this whole game is. No more, no less than it needed. If there was one thing I wish I did know before starting: That you can't catch the blue thingy. Even after I knew it was the probe, I thought maybe I could wait for it to hit my home planet or somewhere to chase it down when it crashes. It came drat near spawn point once before I realized it's just zipping straight through terrain anyway. Also wasted time killing myself just to see if I could get the random probe to fire off somewhere I could chase it.

The end-game run of this game had me sweating and holding my breath tense more than any other game I can remember, just out of sheer excitement and fear of messing up. It actually took me about a half dozen attempts all told, every single one but my winning one flopping due to some absurd goof.

3x Just dying trying to get into the goddamn inner core zone. Several times I would see the warp blackhole inches from my feet as I'm already being sucked up the sand-tube.

1x grab core and exit perfectly on time, run to ship to discover my ship is actually being sucked up the sand tube and being thrown into the void.

1x grab core, float down but accidentally clip something and got flung into the wildest and fastest barrelling spin in zero gravity that I'd ever experienced in the game. It was the only satisfying moment in the entire game for me, there was just no way to counter-steer myself back to a sensible position, usually just spun me faster and more crazily. I almost think something broke it was going so fast at points, but maybe that's just a very real risk in zero g movement near a core of a planet? Out of sheer chance, happened to spin by the gravity switch and turn it back on and I finally landed and was able to be stable. What a horrible way to die if that happened irl, geezus. Got out finally but it took so long the sun was already playing the solar system doom tune.

1x fuckin forgot my space suit


The final run itself actually went really well after that run of bad luck or weird goofs, but I was still just so determined to make it count. The final area with the three anglerfish at once was somehow twice as scary with important cargo on board, even after learning from the little kids the secret to safety. Especially because I got a little overconfident, thought I was clear and there was a secret fourth anglerfish lurking and I had to jet my rear end into the plant butthole so fast as I heard that fucker chasing me, I let out a real yelp. The final moments of the game, hanging out with some pals at the end of the universe had me feel some type of way. It's actually a really kind of a beautiful notion given the kind of depressing end-game of universal heat-death. That's a good heaven for a religion, but in the context of the game just a completely satisfying ending.

10/10 top 10 best game of all time, I can't wait to see what these folks make next.

Oh yeah, actually, there is one thing I was hoping/expecting from the game but it didn't do, or if it did, I missed it: After first being introduced to how the aliens' purple orb switch system works, I was kind of expecting at some point to stand on the pole of a planet or space platform to do a "galactic" version of that and it's like a sneaky sky puzzle of you moving a star around or whatever like you would with the purple orbs. Actually, writing it out, even if they had that idea, I can think of why it wouldn't add anything to their specific game. Nvm, game still perfect.

Apparently this game is actually not a scam, but the dev making it had some really awful personal stuff come up that was unrelated to the game, and they were unable to continue development.

That's way different from the story I'd read which was that the dev had made multiple of these kinds of classic rpg kickstarters and ran off with the funds and that, in the case of Americana Dawn, someone else still wanted to work on it and bring it to completion but they were someone without the proper means to actually finish it so it is forever just that trailer.

Pretty sure I also died before getting the launch codes at first because I was just messing around in town and had no idea about the time thing. The fist planet I picked was the ocean/hurricane one.

It can even come down to individual wells drilled per subdivision. It's more granular than zip codes or streets in some areas.
