the fact they immediately backpedaled means they have no idea how any of this poo poo works, so they think they can just replicate Windows Activation and keep a database of every fart app everyone runs indexed by CPU serial# or something (nevermind that it'll be like 10000x the traffic microsoft has to deal with)

I have ALL the SaGa remasters, including the secret SaGa game last Remnant.

There's rumors we might be getting news soon, with the 35th anniversary of the series coming.

when rebuilding my ship to attempt for a layout of doors and ladders that makes sense I somehow managed to clip two habs together which made it impossible to fully enter my ship, but not to pilot it. attempting to enter would clip me through the level. I’m sure that’s important to someone.

putting windows in alters the layout of the habs slightly and it’s really nice for aesthetics but it removes the chair in the captains quarters which is bullshit!

SaGa Frontier remaster is very well done and lovingly crafted.

Unlimited SaGa is not rereleased and emulating it is a chore. But if you never did that one, it is the most mechanically esoteric, ornate, and incomprehensible of the whole franchise.

yup. the colony wars had casualties in the few thousands or tens of thousands I forget. and that's seen as horrific in the setting.

a billion+ people stayed on earth and suffocated while watching the rich get off world and did nothing about it lol.

The Colony War monument is tiny and has 30 names on it, somehow representing all the war dead?

I've built my first outpost in Starfield. I should have gone more compact, you can really set up your base like a Rust style 1X2.

Venus requires a skill that's like 14 points deep into the Science tree so I haven't done my XP farm yet, but I also don't really need to. I've surveyed like 7 different moons and planets after I got cut loose from Sarah and it opened up to the first 3 missions. I'll go do one of those missions now and come back to use my Iron/Aluminum starter base to build something disgusting later.

setting up outposts in Starfield is a fiddly pain in the rear end (woe be upon anyone who must have their buildings flush and at exact right angles) but the amount of raw materials you produce is wild

It is simple, so very simple. But yeah the poo poo looks like rear end. I threw it all together with the controller and nothing is aligned even slightly. I think if I switched to mouse and keyboard for placement I could get better results, but I'll be damned if I learn the hotkeys for build menu object selection on m/kb.
