Right. When we were all laughing at the people who would have genuine reactions to things people would say to them on the internet because "the internet is serious business lmao," that was totally fine and a different thing. It's those damn zoomers that fucked it all up. Right.
Wouldn't mind seeing the game come back. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty shitty. But, for whatever reason, I kept finding myself coming back until there wasn't a game to come back to anymore. I guess I was charmed by it.
Not enough Floppa posting these days. I fear the old ways are being lost to time. I fear I, too, will be as dust, lost to the gales of obscurity some nearby day.
Post more fucking caracals so I don't have to think about my stupid mortality or something ty👍
Honestly, if you already have it set up to automate printing the screen and saving it as an image, then seamlessly syncing that file with your phone, I don't even think you need to worry about making an app or dealing with the phone camera. If you can set that process to trigger on a single button press, that'd be wayyy faster and easier.
A vision of a future for America where everyone's included, everyone's represented, and everyone can join hands in friendship as one? Now that's Thinking Outside the Bun™.
I haven't bought into it or anything, but I followed the development for a while in the 2010s because I was really excited for what they showed.
Speaking personally, I just want a game that would let me feel immersed in a spacefaring future human civilization. I'm never gonna live to see that. So, I'd like a game where I can at least pretend.
EvE doesn't work for me. I'm not interested in spreadsheets, and I want to be able to fly my ship instead of just clicking to move (I assume that's still how it controls? I only played briefly in the 2000s)
Starfield is..Starfield. I just appreciate that they tried something, honestly. No Man's Sky seems pretty neat, although I don't really know what you do in that game outside of just collecting resources. I need to try it sometime.
Elite Dangerous is great. It comes the closest to scratching the itch. Zooming through the galaxy looking for different astral phenomena and sights to see is a really chill way to spend an afternoon. But, it only really gets so deep. The space legs (I mean, the Odyssey expansion) only do so much to make you feel present. Space stations and outposts really only consist of two or three different layouts of one big room with the same shops. Settlements mostly only exist to be mission objectives. You get 8 guns and 3 pistols to choose from. That's about it. Not super immersive once you step outside of your ship (personally speaking).
But, pretty much the main thing they've been trying to accomplish with Star Citizen is to make it the most immersive experience they can. It's right there in the name, isn't it? You get to play at a citizen of an interstellar civilization. That's the idea. I'm not sure if that's the reality.
So, yeah. Speaking personally, I've got a dream I'll never see realized, and (it feels like) no one stepping up to offer a proper simulation. I imagine a lot of folks are clinging to Star Citizen out of desperate hope, since there's not really a proper alternative if it ever goes away.
A baby made of horribly caustic acid that is actively moving toward other babies, and all you have available to stop it is punches. Good to punch, or bad to punch? 🤔
(The baby is much faster than you. It will reach the other babies before you can. It is about to pass you, though it hasn't yet done so, and all you have time to do is to give it a quick, decisive strike to knock it off-course)
