What's the story behind this domain? I checked to see if maybe someone had made one for every Minecraft version, but no, 1.8.9 is singled out for some reason. Edit: Okay 1.7.10 also exists, I'm guessing some others do too. 1.6.4 doesn't, that was the first one I checked.
Fired several workers and made the rest of us do their jobs, too.
Also, the owner coming in every day to argue with our head baker about how to run a bakery. The owner had no previous bakery experience; the entire company was a pet project and her main business was in finance.
I can't see the feet post but the one I'm imagining is way more shitposty than the actual content of the community. Maybe I also am wrong about what shitposting means?
I don't think fast travel is the problem. The problem is that there is an actual "exploration" part of the game, where you wander around planets scanning things and looking for points of interest, but it is by far the most boring part and I have not had much fun when interacting with it. There is nothing exciting to find, and it primarily rewards materials that I mostly haven't had a lot of use for, because when I need something specific for research or crafting I can buy it at the store, because materials are nearly worthless in terms of credits.
The mini-dungeons and other points of interest you can find need to be way cooler for the wandering-around-on-planets to be worthwhile, and the actual exploration gameplay needs something more than walking across plains and hills in order to be interesting.
The best parts of the game are when you pretend it's Fallout In Space and hang out in cities doing quests for randoms.
I mean, I largely agree with the facts of the article, but I don't see what part is a "mistake." If you've decided to play the superpower game, drawing countries into your orbit seems like the correct strategy, as does prioritizing ones that have ties to other powerful countries that you would like to undercut.
If they think that "attempting to remain a superpower" is a mistake in and of itself, then it's not a repeat, it's just one continuous mistake that started last century.
I'm like 90% sure that the character creator has lighting features enabled that are normally disabled for performance reasons, which is why it's much easier to look good in the character creator than it is in the game.
If I'm right, maybe modders can "fix" it (although it will probably tank performance).
Ohhh I knew there was something different about the clutter placement in Starfield! There's so much of it I catch myself triple checking areas to make sure that I didn't miss anything worth picking up.
Coming fresh off BG3, the quality of the writing and the amount of character expression in dialog is like night and day. Honestly there was even one moment fairly early on when I said to myself "Fallout 4 would have let me extort this guy" and then I realized how egregious it was that I felt I had less agency in this quest than in FO4.
So you can fly in space, and fight space battles there, but you can't really fly fast enough to fly from one planet to another in real time. To move to a different point of interest in the system, you need to fast travel to it. So the meaningfully interactable part of space is just the immediate area around each fast travel point.
I'm not far enough yet to know if the interior gets more interesting after you add more modules to the ship; the starter ship is basically an RV: bed, galley, cockpit.
It's worth noting, I think, that the definition of shovelware has slipped somewhat since it was coined like thirty years ago, and I think this is leading to you and niisyth talking past each other. Shovel Knight for Switch was maybe shovelware by the original definition, which was "shovel a bunch of old software onto a CD and resell it," but by the Wii era people were using it to refer to software that is just bad, but exists to trick people into buying it by promising to be more full-featured than it actually is. The Wii had so many titles like this that it seemed like they were "shoveling" shit directly onto store shelves and calling it games. In this new definition, it refers to titles like My Horse and Me or Imagine Party Babyz. So if they are thinking of the newer usage, it sounds like you're insulting Shovel Knight's quality as a game.
Hmm, I was like "Sure, it's $4, why not?" But I can't actually buy it. Steam says "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."
The traditional answer to this is to just not let players cast spells that would be costly to implement, in the same way that we can't currently cast Reincarnate or Magic Jar. There are still high level combat spells to look forward to, like Meteor Swarm.
