No. Every single gameplay mechanic in NMS is shallow and made by someone incompetent on game design.

The engine runs well and it's a weird giant sandbox and it gets tons of grindy cosmetic content updates. But the actual game aspects are terrible.

EDIT: Disagree? Name one game mechanic that's designed well compared to other games.

I think it tastes like chewing on aspirin. So, yeah super bitter with no redeeming qualities.

I wish more people were this honest with themselves lol

It's actually the pre-amp and DAC quality that matter-- OH NO WHAT HAVE I BECOME?!

I really don't enjoy bad games. They're bad because something significant disrupts the fun, such as major bugs, janky mechanics, poor pacing, bland story or characters, no sense of progression, grindy RNG time-wasting, systems (e.g. crafting) that are either far too shallow or way too convoluted, half-baked level design, or even external factors like obnoxious DRM or microtransactions.

The bad game I sunk the most time into by far is No Man's Sky. People keep insisting "it's good now", but all the gameplay mechanics are truly awful. It's an okay sandbox and entertaining enough if that's all you're after, but as a game specifically it has about 2/3 of the issues I mentioned above.

Nah, that game is pretty great and easy to recommend. I played it through with DLC 100% maybe 18 months ago. The combat and traversal is Arkham-esqe and fun, the Nemesis system keeps the challenge fresher than most games, the characters and upgrades are interesting enough, art and graphics and sound hold up, and the story goes surprisingly far into the heart of Middle-Earth lore.

It's easy to do on your own. Classic buffalo sauce is just Frank's Red Hot and butter. Dip the parts of your rotisserie bird as you remove them for the best texture.

I have seen premade buffalo roast chicken at the deli plenty of times. But that's more uniform for slicing onto sandwiches, not the same as rotisserie meat.

It's quite good even just on popcorn.

When I open the pantry and find that my partner ate the last snacks in the house.

Ah yes, the most erotic of all triangles

By this logic, the math problem the teacher called me up to the board to solve in 10th grade when I had a random boner was also a woman.

GO. TO. THE MIM! it's the Musical Instrument Museum. It's huge, it's incredibly well organized and informative, and it's fun for anybody (unless you kick puppies and have no soul).

Their collection is crazy impressive and spans the whole world and pretty much all time. I never knew how many cultures had bagpipes and accordions. Or how many weird types of horns were even possible.

Do you mean... not pandering to the majority who wish you wouldn't copulate with canines?

My dad helped me install the original Wolfenstein 3D on DOS when I was a kid. And he's 100% a boomer (b.1947). So for that reason it always feels accurate to me.

I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this

Looks at username

You're sure it wasn't for... other reasons?

Yep this seems even more blurry and pixelated than the last 3 times I saw it haha

I imagine people resharing memes (long before OP here) take a photo of their monitor with a potato phone and then reupload that after resizing it with some shitty Motorola app or whatever first. Do that 3-4x and soon it's a mess.

Ah yes the dreaded shortbarrel saltwater tank and the AK-47000 combo.
