Now THAT should be in the Toot Oriole

Oh, no! They’ve fallen for the “don’t pre-order” hype!

Yeah, that might be more accurate. Most of what I was thinking was in terms of MMORPG PvP arenas, or something like Sea of Thieves when you have two ships that get locked in a prolonged battle. Having one really good player going against a group of semi-coordinated average players can be a lot of fun, too! Like everyone ganging up on the really good Smash player (and still losing against them).

When there is no challenge at all, that’s when it gets dull.

100% agree! Sure, it might be disappointing if you spend 15 minutes in an intense back and forth before eventually losing, but it feels good! If one side is going to absolutely dominate the other, though, at least let it be over quickly.

Right? If what happens now is pre-open floodgates, I cannot imagine what it will be like once they open.

Wait, are people sitting and watching the computer as it shuts down? I shut my computer down every time I walk away from it for more than an hour or two, and every night. I just type the command and then walk away to do other things while it shuts down…

While true that they could have searched on the internet, in the time it took you to berate them you could given them am answer.

Also, this is Lemmy, you should have said “you can DDG it”.

It doesn’t have to be a big celebration, but I like to keep specific dates for holidays I celebrate with friends and family. It helps It feel special to me, like it’s something worth celebrating and carrying on a tradition of. Not that I am against celebrating the smaller things with loved ones more frequently, but a birthday on that actual day, Christmas (with or without religious connotations) with friends, or Friendsgiving, all feel extra special when celebrated on the day of the holiday rather than the Tuesday after.

“When you only make $1000 a month, $1000 is a lot of money”

Yes, I believe that is their perspective about a $1000 guitar being worth a lot of money. Perhaps that is not an expensive guitar in comparison to the upper end of guitars, but it is still expensive in absolute value for most people.

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

Doesn’t that imply it isn’t a core feature from the perspective of the devs? If they haven’t enhanced it by now, I wouldn’t expect them to going forward. For what it’s worth, the lackluster space combat is my biggest gripe with the game, but I just don’t play NMS when I’m looking for a space dogfight then.

Patch of grass or mulch near by, or in a storm drain if there is one. Otherwise I continue carrying it until I get to such a place. If I’m in inside, like a mall or an airport, I pour in a restroom sink and then rinse it down the sink drain with water from the tap.

But it rarely comes to that. I generally finish whatever my drink is long before I have a need to throw the container out.

Finish the drink or pour the liquid out first, same as I’d do with the trash can in my kitchen

That would probably make it more interesting for many, but it was never meant to be a combat focused game so it makes sense that they haven’t added it.

I was tired and think I had wires crossed on Terraforming Mars and Planet Crafter. Though, I’m not sure what parts of NMS are being focused on? Resource management with a space theme? There you go!

I’m not sure what you’re looking for in a “game like NMS”, but

• Elite Dangerous
• X4
• Outer Worlds
• Endless Space
• Homeworld
• Starfield
• Star Citizen
• Everspace

Or “base”-building

• Satisfactory
• Astroneer
• Terraforming Mars

Not sure what you’re exactly looking for that NMS doesn’t scratch the itch of, but these are all games myself or friends have played that touch some of the same areas. Though, I understand the pain of “this game is so close to perfect for what I’m looking for, except for this one part that makes it unplayable to me”.

Yeah, my first thoughts were search and rescue, underwater welding, mining, etc

Except, this measure won’t result in that at all. Punishing companies for importing is only going to punish consumers. The company wants it for as cheap as possible, and that will often be importing. Even ifbit becomes expensive to import, it will be cheaper than the capital needed to set up the infrastructure for manufacturing domestically. Rewarding companies for sourcing materials and labor domestically will incentivize them to bring jobs here. At least more so than making them pay more to bring it in.

But, hopefully, they won’t fall in line behind a single successor and instead splinter into a bunch of smaller, competing factions.
