My bad advice for this situation would be for you to start planning on pursuing the mindset for independent living.

I’m sure there’s a set of circumstances that can make it possible, but yeah, people generally like to embellish our stories.

Theoretically, one can move around with only the cerebellum remaining intact. For a short while at least.

Hmm… I am indeed being funny as per the community we’re in, but thank you for the good faith answer.
In conclusion: Sooo… It’s not really a vacuum, but it’s kinda a vacuum or at least an acceptable form of vacuum.
Qed. 🙃

You’re telling me nibbling bits of our atmosphere isn’t a form of pressure exerted towards it?

Hold up. Isn’t space under a lot of pressure to expand, only it’s directed outwards, so we ain’t just feeling it?
- Comment on Shine a laser on the moon 1 week ago:
But space isn’t really space because there’s always something in, but we consider it as nothing so we can see space as space.
- Comment on Shine a laser on the moon 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but it’s not just “rocks” in space, it’s everything. Or what we consider as such.
If you see light from distant stars, doesn’t it mean there’s radiation from there to here? There’s lots of stuff in space, you just don’t see it as noteworthy.
- Comment on Shine a laser on the moon 2 weeks ago:
Space isn’t really a vacuum. There’s plenty of stuff drifting around, just that most of it isn’t all that helpful to our wellbeing.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Sands of Aura. Action rpg in a Souls vein, kinda like No rest for the Wicked or Path of Exile 2? Anyway, everything kills you fast if you’re not careful.
Maps are islands in a sea of sand. Apocalyptic world, corruption, divinity, yada yada.
After cleaning up the first island, I’d suggest doing the main quest first because it unlocks stuff you’re going to need, however upgrade resources are kinda scarce and the bosses are annoying without the much needed upgrades so exploration might still be preferred first. Unless you’re good enough even with the default stuff.
The campfires are replaced with bells. Each island has one and they can be used to fast travel from place to place when opening the map right next to them. A second bell might be placed closer to a boss area, but it’s hit or miss with them.
You can jump and will likely jump to your death often enough to make you sigh with emotion. And the game makes use of the architecture. Jumping, climbing, secret areas found by randomly manhandling the walls, it’s part of the loop.
Bell locations are annoying. Bosses are annoying. The environment can be exploited and is annoying because it usually works against you, such as boss skills flowing through obstacles (unlockable). There’s a dark, foggy map part of the main quest that’s annoying. And the lack of a minimap or a local map is also very annoying.
You can see and feel the cuts to the game, but the idea is there. The Souls ARPG idea that is.
Anyway, frustrating parts aside, I’m liking it so far. Might give up on it later.

I played the demo when it first showed up. The game depended a lot on killing your victims, but I just wanted to give them a mental breakdown and then release them into the wild.
Sadly not for me.

I don’t get it. She’s always been about bringing you love. Why is it weird she does it after a space trip?

Disagree. The geese would be all up in arms about migrating birds and join a cultist movement with a scorched earth policy that destroys everything just to stop others from having any.
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 4 weeks ago:
Princess has small (flying) familiar, they mind meld and share images. Familiar goes around trying to stay unseen, gathers stuff, maps the place and brings it all back to the princess. Princess then sends a scritch to savior as a vague guide and they communicate through the familiar and short messages.
