  • Annoying neighbor

    Jump

  • I used to play trumpet in high school and I wish I could get back into it, but apartment living has prevented the dream so far.

  • Ok and then what happened?

    Jump

  • Oh great. My neighbor’s dog is on the internet now.

  • Star Citizen tops $1 billion crowdfunding milestone as "$5000 JPEG" spaceship you cannot use yet goes on sale

    Jump

  • I had a friend tour me through the game and it’s honestly come a long long way. I’m considering getting an entry-level taxi ship and just exploring. From what I was seeing, that will keep me plenty busy for my ~$40 worth and I imagine quite a bit more.

  • What do you think makes a story immersive?

    Jump

  • A massive one for me is pacing. If it feels like someone is telling me the story as it happens, I can pull myself right into the world, but if they spend two pages describing a room they just entered, I’ve already forgotten why they entered the room.

  • Healthcare’s goal should not be to be profitable. The government should subsidize both the education and pay of medical staff for the wellbeing of their people.

  • They could federate with servers if only they had servers that wanted to federate with them.

  • What's your favorite movie?

    Jump

  • My actual personal favorite is Back to the Future Part 2, but if you’re looking for something you might not have seen, I’ll hit you with 3:

    Baby Driver - A thrill a minute heist movie to a killer soundtrack and stellar cast

    Everything Everywhere All At Once - An emotional rollercoaster as the title implies, go in blind

    Ex Machina - Absolute masterclass in cinematography and storytelling about a billionaire and his invention

  • That’s just the decoy snail

  • What major projects are you working on?

    Jump

  • For me, Elite is all about alone time. Sure the loops are “repetitive”, but there’s well over 20 or 30 loops in the game. A lot of people share your experience because it’s ultimately more of a sandbox than a traditional experience like most other mainstream titles. It’s time for me to meditate and explore.

    Another major factor is that I’m allergic to “the grind”. Many, many other players feel that Engineering is goal #1 and want the biggest, fastest, baddest ship, but I just don’t care about most of that. I like flying space ships and this game does it better than almost any other out there.

    Add on the fact that now I have a squadron and it’s become a place to hang out with friends. Elite is less a game with a win state and more a universe to explore.

    Lastly, it’s very easy to ignore major parts of the lore thanks to all the farming guides that skip past how those sites were originally discovered. It’s a game meant for you to reach these points hundreds of hours in instead of dozens.

  • What major projects are you working on?

    Jump

  • I’ve been writing a new players guide for Elite: Dangerous in detail along with putting together a squadron to teach new players. It’s been the most involved I’ve ever been with an online game by far.

  • Learning how to do a bunch of repairs on my (‘03) car has been one of the greatest life improvements I’ve made. I now have a much better understanding of what noises and sensations are a STOP THE CAR issue vs let it ride. It’s taken so much of the anxiety away from driving along with it.

  • Lasagna dreams, spaghetti reality

    Jump

  • I just booted up Satisfactory for the first time since it originally came out in EA and I’m excited to dive right in all over again. There have been so many QoL improvements since I left.

  • Do you sleep with noise?

    Jump

  • Varies from one night to the next, but I typically put on something from myNoise.net when I do want sound.

  • God, I’ve seen this monstrosity in person. While absolutely an engineering marvel and impressive in its own right, it’s also uniquely disgusting, taking all that beauty and displaying corporate faff on it almost exclusively. It’s weirdly almost impossible not to look at it when it’s in view because your brain refuses to believe a screen that large could even exist.

  • Well there’s the problem. Only one jet?
