I legitimately saw someone, prior to even pre-release, say the game was going to suck because the sky wouldn't be pretty like it was in Skyrims, because it hAs CoNsTeLlAtIoNs...
- Comment on After 70 hours, I cheated myself rich 1 year ago:
I literally spent 5 hours and 600k credits making a ship. Thank God I liked it, cause I had 9k credits left afterwards...I still need to fuck with the layout of the rooms, cause it's kinda maze-y, but it's easy enough.
- Comment on UC Vanguard and Freestar Rangers questlines question 1 year ago:
I'm like 90% sure the faction quesltines don't intermingle with the main story. I think they push you towards some similar places, but I went through first playthrough beating Ryujin and leaving the Freestar and Crimson Fleet stuff partially done, and I didn't even talk to UC Vanguard. Current playthrough, I've not touched main story and completed Freestar, Crimson Fleet, and UC Vanguard and haven't noticed any interference.

Welp. Lol and I normally catch those too. The good ones are the ones that usually getcha
- Comment on What's the difference between asking someone title or someone's pronouns ? 1 year ago:
If only you could like....ask? But I guess that's the crux of the issue.
Do people you meet introduce themselves to you as Mrs/Ms X? Maybe if you work exclusively in/around schools...
- Comment on Notes from a new starship thief 1 year ago:
When you land on a planets or moons surface, listen for another ship to land or checktthe map markers on your scanner for ship landing site. Usually it's ecliptic or spacers, and you just clear them out and fly the ship off planet.
- Comment on Notes from a new starship thief 1 year ago:
I was severely disappointed that selling ships is so bad money wise, but I guess it makes sense as it would be pretty unbalanced.
- Comment on Starfield (Zero Punctuation) 1 year ago:
Seems pretty subjective, I have finished the main quest in precisely one Fallout game, Fallout 3, and it took me years to do so. Not because I was lost in the map or side quests or anything, it just never grabbed me. Fallout 4 was the same, same with New Vegas (the one I probably played the least).
Maybe I'm just at a far end of the curve tho lol
- Comment on Easy way to get more ships? 1 year ago:
Bet, I've largely avoided the terminals cause I'm usually doing faction quests. I'll keep this in mind.
- Comment on Ship building question 1 year ago:
It probably just gives your ship a square hit box to target and they aim for center of that. Why Ls would work, as well as donut ships.
- Comment on [Spoilers for a quest nane] Where should I stop in the main quest before finishing the entirety of the side content? 1 year ago:
I think you can get right up to it without triggering some events, tho as soon as it pops up on your quest log, cease all progress.
- Comment on Easy way to get more ships? 1 year ago:
Without flat-out telling me "Go to X place and do Y", what are the better options? Am I just getting bad ship spawns or is it something to do with selling unregistered ships to a location I may have not yet found? Or is it just me needing to go full space pirate and embrace bad decisions?
- Comment on Has there been any word on the addition of Bethesda.net mod support on console? 1 year ago:
Starfield console is getting mods a la Skyrim Collectors Edition. No date, but it's been announced prior to release.

- Comment on Why shouldn’t firearm manufacturers be held accountable for the use of their weapons in crimes? 1 year ago:
Are you looking for an answer to a question, or are you looking for a debate?
At any rate, reducing the utility of an item to what it's "lowest performance" should be to lower it's ability to harm for non-intended uses is asinine. Who sets the limits? Does a knife need to be razor sharp? I can cut a lot of things with a dull knife and some time. It would pose less danger to you if all knives I had access to were purposefully dull. To prevent me from procuring an overly sharp knife, make the material strong enough to cut foods, but brittle enough to not be one overly sharp. Knives, after all, we're made to stab, cut, and dissect a wide arrange of materials, flesh included. This specific design poses limitless danger to you, and needs to be considered when manufacturing these tools.
Guns are not majorly sold specifically to kill people, in the grand scheme of things. Hunting is probably the largest vector of volume gun sales in the US. How do you design a weapon that can be useful for hunting, but ineffective at killing a human? They all possess the innate ability to do so, but so does even the smallest pocket knife or kitchen knife.
I'm also a big gun control advocate, so I'm not defending anything I like. The failings of US gun control are squarely on the idea that everyone should possess a gun until they prove they shouldnt; it's reactive policy. Active gun control would limit who can possess a gun from the start to those that will only use it for "appropriate" reasons.

Now that I know this, I may actually use the photo mode. I was just using it to help determine stealth patching...lol
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 1 year ago:
That they are still viable for some applications doesn't mean they aren't outdated. There will always be the thing that "starts" your issues, and pointing at it and saying that it isn't hardwares fault doesn't make it less true. Pointing at past years of non-problematic use doesn't make future incompatibility unacceptable.
This is literally the Simpsons meme of the principal standing outside the broken window, saying
"Is it my old HDDs fault I can't play a brand-new modern game?"
"No, it's the devs fault for not supporting my old hardware"
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 1 year ago:
I'm like 30+ hours in and it's all in thinking about at work rn. That doesn't always happen, few games hook me like that. Halo 2/3 from MS/HS, probably Skyrim to an extent, ESO (forever and always apparently, cause I'm still playing that amongst Starfield), and now this. And it's all aspects. I want to build my ship, I want to do my outposts and crafting, I want to explore planets to find needed resources, gear, and weapons, I want to finish the main story, and the side quests (and I'm actually agonizing over which side I want to go with).
I'm debating bringing my Xbox with me to a friend's house for a weekend trip so we can play there.
I'm definitely bringing it, who am I kidding?

There may be a cave or something where it generates, if it's a rare material.
- Comment on Manually Plot a Route? 1 year ago:
That may have changed your ship weight and done something to the available paths; did your LY travel distance change?
At any rate, I've never had it purposefully stop me somewhere more than the one time to "discover" the location, so it should at worst be extremely temporary.

- Comment on Manually Plot a Route? 1 year ago:
I think it's sort of perspective. The map is 3d; so while the systems may look overlapping, in space, you have to take a different route.
It definitely isn't just "shortest route via visual", but once you discover that system holding you up, you can then just travel through it next time without stopping.
- Comment on Starfield Starters: An Explorer's Guide to Planet Hopping - Xbox Wire 1 year ago:
To add, I've been messing with outpost building and having questions. All the guides are basically "here's the tutorial, when we figure more out, we'll update here". Kinda frustrating, that isn't a guide. Lol
- Comment on Starfield Starters: An Explorer's Guide to Planet Hopping - Xbox Wire 1 year ago:
Same with the first ship fight. It says destroy the engines but you can't target them, you just have to kill the ship.
- Comment on The #Starfield gameplay loop 1 year ago:
Lot of criticism for this game is people playing for an hour and ranting. Same people are spawning in exploring one singular system, and going "shits empty, it's boring".
Not saying there isn't valid criticisms to he made, but I think much of the sentiment online is bad because others are sucked on. I was a day late, got it Friday, and I'm at almost 30 hours now. I'm really into this game.

From what I understand, stuff from lemmy won't pop up in the All feed until someone subscribes to that sub from lemmy. It won't just pull every post from lemmy on its own, it has to be requested. That isn't a federation an issue, but an interest issue.

Cause I think people should have the choice to wear a mask if they choose.
- Comment on Boycott In-N-Out. 1 year ago:
Lmao this is proven by the literal millions of people constantly getting sick from all the fast food purchased daily.
It probably could be more clean, absolutely. But there is still a modicum of cleanliness standards, and if somebody is choosing to be more clean, why would the company actively fight against it, except to virtue signal?
Letting people who want to wear masks is 99% of the time a benefit to all.
