I genuinely can't tell if its like the ending was written by a different person, or if they're doing a covid allegory (I guess being anti-microbe is being anti-vaxx?), or if the writing is supposed to indicate that everyone who hates it (Andreja is the only one who doesn't get pissed and she has no stake in the FC/UC divide for obvious reasons) is being a nationalist hard-liner since the other solution requires the two factions working together.

It is so confusing.

the game explicitly tells at the end that the dinos are an unmitigated good thing for both humanity and the environment lmao. The constellation nerds want you to engineer DDT instead of using herbicide.

Not in Constellation but the ones you hire in bars are all more interesting despite not actually having quests. Marika, Mickey Caviar, etc ftw

I had to start playing Starfield since it's all anyone is talking about. Here are some thoughts and observations:

Using jet packs is way more fun and useful after binding jump to both space and alt. Is it a bug that it doesn't work like that by default, or a bug that it works only if you bind them like that? In any case, it increased my enjoyment of exploration by 200%.

If you're under 250m away from your ship, you can hit tab, click on Ship, then hit F to view its cargo hold. From there, you can transfer poo poo without having to actually go back inside of it.

I did the thing where you build an outpost on Bessel III B. I wouldn't recommend doing it exactly the way the guy in the YouTube video did if it's causing you grief, but it does show the basics of what you need for an outpost. Aluminum and iron for wind turbines are probably the first things you should go for. Building the initial outpost beacon itself doesn't cost anything, and you can easily delete them if you're not able to actually exploit the resources in its radius for whatever reasons.

After building two outposts, I noticed they kept blowing up randomly. It seems to stop if I assign people there and fast travel a bunch of times. Very frustrating. Not sure if it's a good old fashioned bug, intended, or maybe an anti piracy measure. Just keep an eye out for the repair option if your poo poo stops producing resources or power.

(A lot of these things should be explained in the game!!!!)

In general, I'd recommend only engaging with outposts and ship building for the bare minimum since it's all so finicky and a pain in the rear end. I spent two hours redesigning my ship and when I get inside of it, all the ladder and door placements are hosed up.

And try not to track too many resources since there's no way to reset them easily and you might end up tracking something stupid like iron for the entire game until you manually review every weapon mod, outpost item, and other craftables and manually turn them off yourself.

Some loving baffling decisions here, but it's a really solid 7/10 if you want to turn your brain off and kill whatever "spacers" are supposed to be in randomly generated abandoned bases. I am glad I tried it out.

it's crazy they keep cranking out the call of duty games because they are very bad but i guess they are for kids who feel they've aged out of fortnits and there's always another slug of kids coming down the pipe. fortnite is at least fun for a bit

I know one guy who's really really into Spawn and also likes CoD so he's gonna be freaking out right now. He's also really into numetal and ICP so once they add Juggalos to CoD his life will be complete

dude i knew in middle school drew two things very well in high detail: tanks and spawn. always had a spawn tshirt. ran into him as an adult once and he was telling me about the government spying on him, something about the size of the chargers on laptops, the block, i dunno. i wasn't paying attention by then.

fortnite is pretty fun, sometimes you get to run down goku with a semi truck. ime cod is a boring slog to which they added a bunch of butt rock guitar riffs and a narrator guy constantly saying dumb poo poo to disguise the boring gameplay.
