First few seasons good. kinda has an issue with not knowing where it’s going from the beginning so I felt like the later seasons were just ‘making shit up’ as opposed to the story coming together. still worthwhile tho

I enjoyed both. my gaming group definitely preferred Empyrion though. especially with the Reforged Eden mod.

I enjoyed building things in space engineers more due to the mechanical aspects. and the fact that you could program and automate things. I enjoyed the hell out of making a giant drill. and the vehicles you can build can do really cool things, check out the steam workshop for cool examples.

on the other hand, in Empyrion you actually get to use the vehicles. and they felt more like my own personalized ship. plus going from picking plants on the surface to launching into space is a great starting game loop. and then once in space you can do mining more easily than space engineers or just take out and scrap opposing ships. or trade is viable.
it can be challenging to get the initial materials required. it can also be unforgiving if you pick a fight above your pay grade, so make sure to save (and prioritize a shield). the building is not as complex, but that actually works for it. my buddy builds some mighty cool ships. I tended to get a cool ship from the workshop and then heavily modify it to make it my own, which is a fun feature.

the xcover is a great phone. not the fastest or with the best camera, but the other features make it fantastic. it’s also pseudo-ruggedized, I carry it without a case and it’s held up great to a few typical drops and such

this is the biggest disappointment to me. the game wasn’t good enough to justify all the crazy star wars mods that could have been. even lightsabers and speeders won’t make this into a good game unfortunately

yeah, but you can carry it with you at all times if your phone takes an SD card.

although, can they use one that large, or is there some restriction?

defund the buying of crazy gear and fund the training of officers. good training, not fantasy camp rambo that some go through

120 yards. a difficult shot still tho with the hardware

honestly, even then it’s not really worth the time IMO

it would hilarious if they don’t even switch bodies in the sequel. Just them going about their friday…

anyone remember in the black and white 2 lion head logo screen how you could move the logo around and fuck up the filling of it with the little beads?

what makes it more usable than just having moonlight?

a mod for this would be so great

that’s low key why universal basic income would be good. it’s somewhat important to have people like that who just want to preserve and teach history and they shouldn’t necessarily be forced to find an industrialized application for that in order to have a decent life.

I’ve been playing it by streaming from my home PC using moonlight. runs well and the battery lasts a long time. still have the issue of trying to play helldivers with controller, but it’s better. and theoretically since it’s not doing the rendering you can hook up an external monitor plus m+k and it’ll still run well

I have the version that’s 2 gens older than this one. it’s great! I’ll certainty be tempted to upgrade to the 7 in a year or two

the key phrase there being ‘more frequent’. the fast travel and character customization are all in the game and have a more in-universe integration. the game systems are supposed to be more immersive than just click the map and fast travel. you typically either take a cart from town to town or warp using a stone that gets used up.

I like it the way it is, makes leaving town to quest and adventure have another layer of strategy. If someone wants to bypass that strategy layer with money then so be it. I certainly would prefer that it be a mod rather than a MTX, and will definitely not be buying any regardless.

I tried one of these. cool concept, but execution was meh. Would be better with their external device thing that locks the screen in place.

Also, and YMMV, but it was the only VRish thing to make me nauseous (but not overly so) after a while due to the screen moving. I’ve flown jets in VR comfortably, but XCOM on the NReal was troublesome.

also you need a hub type thing to be able to charge the deck and use the glasses at the same time. not a big deal, but then the deck is pretty bulky

FYI, to figure this out you would look at the part that plugs into the wall. there’s a bunch of writing on it. at one point it will say something like " input: 120-240 VAC, output: 15 VDC 0.5 A". that’s true for pretty much all transformer bricks. like if you want to see how much a USB brick will supply it will say on there “5V 2A” or whatever.

metro mod works (I’m on v2.01).

didn’t they add official metros in the latest update anyway?

but, like, bitcoin has high (and variable) transaction fees.
