Bungie definitely did a lot of things right this time around. The world looks fantastic. Are the ground textures a little more sparse to make room for that? Sure, but that’s a good sacrifice. And THIS is how you take advantage of reused assets - where it makes total sense for the story. It was a little silly before when Neomuna would have some of the exact same computer consoles/screens as Europa or the like, when they were separated by so much time and civilization.

The final fights reminded me of Halo campaigns, in great ways. And those cut scenes were very cool. I want to just forget that Neomuna even existed at this point.

Still a little undecided on the reworks of bounty systems, but I’m more ambivalent where those are concerned. The weapons seem interesting, prismatic seems interesting (albeit confusing), but I’m so much happier being confused with the complexity of interesting things than the simplicity of boring!

I do hope employees who dedicated their efforts to TFS still have or have found jobs since.

With no servers?

I’m not a player, but that detail is impressive.

As a Seahawks fan who admittedly enjoyed that first year of him floundering after the mega trade, it’s gone beyond amusing at this point. Even I wish Russ-bot a better chance at success now.

Wow. I thought I would be unique and post a photo of Alex with the eyelid wires. Great minds!

Indeed. Article reads like a spoiled brat. “Get over it”. The second something like that appears, it’s crystal clear the writer thinks they’re above the reader.

The colors work out well, too - good color wheel combinations!

One of the better looking Catan boards I’ve seen. Nice job.

I’d insert some quote about fear here, but I don’t know a good one off-hand. In any case, I don’t believe it to be a good excuse.

As a Seahawkian(?), I appreciate him. His history seemed like he made some maturity mistakes early on that really affected his career, but he stuck with it and improved himself both professionally and personally. Even if he doesn’t end up being an MVP success, he has respect.

That’s probably a really good use for it. I’ve had some mole style salumi that was delicious.

I would categorize it as the opposite of bright or fruity peppers. Have you ever tried a mole sauce? It’s what gives that a dark, chocolatey, savory taste. When I dry them out (and they get lightly toasted since it’s in the oven), it’s hard to stop smelling them - an intoxicating mix of sweet and smokey. They’re very mild, but mainly used for the flavor.

Chilhaucle Negro I think is an interesting, non-typical one. Its uses are limited due to its thin flesh and tough skin, but it’s a key main ingredient in Oaxacan mole sauces. When I’ve bought them, I dry them out and rehydrate them later to use in sauce.

Man, maybe with specific roles, too? That could be awesome. Pilot, ship mechanic, engineer, security, salvagers, etc. With some danger/time tied to the salvages.

Episode 1, where they are salvaging the Alliance ship and have to work quickly before they’re caught. In other words, not the planetary adventures and combat of Firefly because that would likely be too much of an undertaking to expand into that kind of game.

Loved this game, though I really hope the studio gets to expand on that genre, storyline, and environment. Very enjoyable for what it is, but I want more! Would love for a future story to take you outside of that shipyard, more like you’re running an independent derelict salvage operation, traveling around star systems searching for your next score (i.e. early Firefly).

I feel like I can guess his sociopolitical beliefs after a video like that. Yeesh.

Agree - they were 100% heading this way, but being part of Sony took this decision out of their hands and escalated it, I would wager.

Ouch. Looks like I was wrong.

Seemed interesting until I was shown a moronic, fear-mongering prepper ad by the video sponsor to buy a gas mask for a secret cataclysmic event the mainstream media is “trying to hide from us”. No video is worth that pathetic garbage.

Roasting poblanos is the best smell in the world to me. I’d buy scented candles if I could.
