Yeah, I’m specifically not speedrunning the main story. I’m trying to build up my car and unlock base upgrades before I enter the third zone. And I dunno about you but it’s become a hell of a slog.

I've always picked up as much as I could on each trip, apart from 2-3 trips where I'd run out of room in the garage (although that eventually took care of itself), so the driving force has always been visiting new junctions. I've had a couple upgrade hindrances almost entirely linked to how I'd though a resource I did know how to find was instead a new one I'd never found a spot for. Also I was tight on chemicals for repair putty for a while, which was actually related to the mistaken scarceness of that other resource (it's the one that you need for the next tier repair item). But also, I'm keeping a fairly mid-tech car (as some of the higher tiers have higher power consumption, which I don't estimate worth the tradeoff right now).

Other than that, right now as I have only one or two junctions left there's one endgame resource I'm finding to be really sparse right now. But also I didn't have the right tool for a while, and after that all the maps I visited that had it also had a very specific storm type that's proven to be a real hindrance.

I think the thing I really might need to grind for is there's a specific tier 1 anomaly I haven't scanned and I might haunt lower tier junctions trying to find out just what it is. And also the podcasts, since I usually only get one per trip, and I think there might still be a dozen left.

I do this with single player games, very one-at-a-time method to working through my backlog.

Multiplayer is a bit of a grab bag, if I have friends playing I’ll stick with it longer, otherwise it’s a short love affair and then onto the next thing.

I don't feel it's worth getting upset or worked up over april fools jokes, sometimes they're decent, sometimes they're stupid but result in a goofy actual manifested product, most of the time they're garbage. it's fine!

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I'm very much momentum-based. I'll play a new game for like 4+ hours every day, but if I take more than a couple of days off from the game it becomes very hard for me to pick it back up, even if I'm really enjoying it

On average it's slightly better than good due to the two rolls
