  • Oh, we played starbound during it’s beta, I could have swore it never finished being made. I know it got worse at one point during the beta and then I didn’t think they ever fixed that. It was kind of dissapointing because it felt like it had the potential to be really good. We still played it a decent amount in the state it was in at the time. But it was definitely partially finished. We should check out what they did since 1.3 came out, I think that was the last we played, when mechs first came out.

    Edit: looking it up, it seems like that was still basically the end of development, but there are mods now to return it to the original much more fun version of the game instead of what ended up being released. I could try playing it with those mods, I really liked the original version of the game in beta.







  • That is generally the impetus behind religious institutions disdain for it. Their best chance to increase their numbers is through indoctrination of the children of their current members. Conversions rarely occur, despite how much they are talked up when they do.

    They are, of course, wrong to think that. Toys, in practice, generally increase intimacy and likelihood of a couple having children. But not as much as being raised your entire life being told that it is the entire purpose of life and if you don’t have as many kids as you theoretically could, you have done yourself a disservice. So as long as they conflate the results, they will keep assuming they are correct in doing both.








  • Hehe yeah, I was always put off on souls games because people described them as being hard, then when there wasn’t alot of choice early on in VR games, I picked up a souls-like since it was the closest I could get to a long-form rpg at the time. And it wasn’t that hard at all, but people were still complaining about how hard it was all the time… so I tried other souls games on desktop, and they were fine too. So I picked up the actual dark souls… this is what people were complaining about? It’s like, not even megaman difficulty?

    That was when I learned that it’s a good thing there wasn’t much internet yet back when I was playing megaman games, or I might have never tried them either. And also it turns out I like “hard” games, to me that is like the whole point of games. If you finish something first try, then you didn’t get better at anything.
