I have a bunch of ships in the game. The most fun I've ever had in the game was after a reset I ignored all of the other ships I had and just focused on starting with the cheapest ship in the game and earning my way up. I had a blast.

I haven't touched the game in probably 3 years, basically just waiting for more things to get finished before jumping back in. But it is hard to get excited for the game with how long it has been and how... not good things have been in the company.

It isn't a scam, just incredibly mismanaged. Chris Robert's has a very hard time saying "this is good enough" and that makes the company bleed money as they repeatedly remake things. People then don't tell Chris no. They weren't making a good space Sim, they were making the best darn space Sim evah! Their wages aren't great and now they are trying to push illegal levels of crunch time till they got caught.

They've completely redone the flight model several times to various levels of success. Time frames get so damm long that they have to go back and remake huge chunks of the game in order to keep things up to snuff graphically.

I get the feeling that they never felt the need to stress out about timelines as the funding kept rolling in, in fact the funding accelerated over time! The game has 183 different ships all designed down to the tiniest detail in the game right now. That's a fuck ton of work hours, but ship sales gets the funding rolling so they have to keep cranking out new ships.

I do really like playing the game, but it is really a shitshow for management. There was one point where they had to throw away a massive amount of work because one studio was making things that didn't fit the metrics for scale and animation of the rest of the game.

Edit: and ships are a dumb thing to buy anyway! You can earn them in game anyway for really not all that much work. It's the most cost inefficient grind skip I've ever seen in a game.

I've seen a couple vtubers use leap for hand tracking.

I use IEMs through a dongle dac because I have an OLED that has interference on the audio board and I've been too lazy to open it up to isolate it and I don't want to wait to send it into Valve for repair.

Yeah, I've never seen people hate Putin cause of Trump. I have seen a couple cases of the other way around, Republicans hating Trump cause of Putin.

In Gaza casualty numbers any adult man is assumed to be a combatant by Isreal.

This makes me glad I long ago went the route of having a second steam account for lewd games. Cause I'm setting up family sharing for my dad to have access to flight simulators.

It would be another outrage lever to push in America between Maga and dems.

I don't miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

There hasn't been anything I've needed that I haven't been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn't in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.

The only game that is a PS5 exclusive that I really want is the new Gran Turismo. But I'm not going to buy a PS5 just for one game.

Every other game I want on the PS5 is eventually going to be on PC anyway.

There's a workaround where you can install Chrome then install ipp/cups printing from the chrome web store, then save whatever file you need printed to Google docs.

I didn't play much of it but it ran well when I tired it. I just decided it was the type of game I wanted to plat with all the settings maxed on my laptop.
