Starbound. Waited years while it was in development, and my buddies and I just let the hype build and build. When it finally came out, it wasn’t even close to worth it. At the time, it still seemed like something that would eventually get to where we hoped (or at least for the most part), but picking it up every few months/years showed us the dev team’s ideas were great on paper, but they just weren’t capable of implementing any of it well.

More recently, I’ve seen YouTube docs that have gone into the awful development and bad treatment of young developers who weren’t paid, and fired after they caught on that they never would be.

On the bright side, it gave my friends and I a new appreciation for how great Terraria is, and why it’s similar features work so well when Starbound’s didn’t

Lol I do remember having more fun when it first came out, assumed that was just the honeymoon period but now I’m not too sure.

It definitely had more of that Minecraft openness compared to the later “crappy Terraria” pre-built content. Doesn’t help most of the additions we were looking forward to at release ended up falling flat. But yeah, the game isn’t bad, just screams having more potential than it could ever have lived up to

Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.

I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

If I can ask, around how old are you and your friends? How many years do I have left Doc?

Good to hear you can still have fun with them, even if it’s muted in comparison to before. I imagine after so long, the reused game mechanics in most stuff would start to feel stale for anyone.

Hope you get some bangers in your favorite genres soon!

Which buttons are pressure sensitive? Aren’t they all just regular buttons aside from the analog sticks?

That’s awesome! I’ll have to give this a shot with what few games took advantage of it. Been meaning to try MGS anyway

I have a close friend group and several non related friends who I’d say I know a lot about and vise-versa. With the group, certainly some more than others.

When hanging out with people I often find the most satisfying activity is to just chill, talk, and get to know each other better; pick their brain to see how their views differ from mine or are the same. Often an easy thing to do when we’re low on energy too

Weren’t Fallout 4’s power armor basically mech suits? I imagine they could do it, but outside of it being a space suit alternative used on oxygenless planets, it feel like it’d just get in the way
