Yet they don’t seem willing to put forth any effort for Linux support. I’ve been a gamepass subscriber for years but I’m on the edge of canceling it because it’s useless on my Steam Deck.
Hi all, my first post here. There wasn’t much online about the Starship Creator games (1998 and 2000) except people saying they’re boring, but I’ve played it on and off for 25 years and I think there’s a bit more to it. I wrote a deep dive into it, tried out everything like importing my ships into Dominion Wars....
Thanks for this. Played it a lot as a kid but always felt like I was missing something with how excruciatingly terrible the missions seemed to be. I kinda chalked it up to being shovelware, yet the game definitely had some solid ideas that were never competently executed. They put in the effort to implement the command prompt-mimicking text interface “boss mode”, yet any modicum of interactiveness in missions was apparently too much to ask for.
At least it’s nice to see them sticking with George Carlin’s nomenclature.
Here’s a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it’s a near miss. Bullshit, my friend. It’s a near hit! A collision is a near miss. [WHAM! CRUNCH!] “Look, they nearly missed!” “Yes, but not quite.”
I hope the additional usefulness of bandages brings a very welcome uptick in support players looking for resupply points. Most classes can only carry a few and they’ll run out even faster now. At least, I hope so. I was having a hard time successfully playing as anything other than medic, and found myself frequently completely empty without a single ammo box for miles.
The steam deck feels very heavy holding it in everyway. It feels the heaviest in its hand grips. Does that feeling go away? It feels like I’m trying to hold a laptop.
I’m in central Japan and this summer has been by far the worst in the 9 years I’ve been here. Energy prices are also through the roof right now since TEPCO chose to slander and FUD nuclear energy instead of admitting that their chain of penny-pinching, engineer-ignoring poor decisions was ultimately responsible for the Fukushima meltdown. I suspect a lot of people, particularly the elderly, are going to be squeezed past the breaking point as electric bills are doubling and tripling and air conditioning becomes an unaffordable luxury.
