  • This reminds me… I used to play a lot of video games. (I still play, just not as much.) Sometimes I’d have dreams where I was wearing the power armor from Metroid, or had the guns and powers from Destiny, but I couldn’t use them without imagining the controller or keyboard.

    Guns are the same way. It’s a pisser, because I want my bananas dream action sequence, but nooooooo…


















  • They ended up tweaking engineering to a point where its tolerable, and mining became so cool. Exploration too. Those two gameplay loops are great.

    But the game was unplayable without third party tools. Which was kind of fun, having them open in a second monitor added to the immersion, but without them you’re shit out of luck. Those tools were how I knew how to sell my mining stock. It was also how pirates knew where to blockade, which made for awesome emergent gameplay.

    I’m bummed that space legs ended up being a buggy mess, because I wanted them real bad. Mostly I wanted to do an EVA in deep space, hanging off my ship, and enjoying the sound design. I never tried it because I heard the update did something weird to planets.
