100% dude. I was right there with you back in the day. My first “online” experience was a net game of M1 over MacTCP to my buddy down the street. After it came out all my Macs had a copy of Infinity and I wasted countless hours in Forge making wild maps. It was a great time in my life. I still play Aleph One now and then to kill time because its like a warm blanket to me now.

I will definitely give this new Marathon a shot at some point, but this gameplay is just not where I am at. I don’t really fit into this new world of online experiences, maybe I’m just getting old and Marathon is moving past me for a new age. I guess that’s fair. Its just hard to see as a die hard fan. Oh well.

See ya starside.

Its amazing how much more authoritative I view people now when they’re absently tossing a baseball around. Thanks DS9

I wish they had just made a single player Marathon sequel… oh well. I will definitely give it a shot but confidence is low :(

Not to defend SC too much, and full disclosure I don’t play it. But I have friends who DO play it and it seems like they are having a lot of fun?

They aren’t evangelists for the game or anything, so its not a fanboy situation. They just play it a lot, and with lots of other people. They have an online community and meet up IRL for events. Post vids of their exploits. It seems fun to me? I asked them about the bugs and stuff and they fully admit it is buggy and things are broken, they make no apologies for it. They figure out workarounds and share it with the crew. I don’t know, these guys are usually pretty critical of games but they seem happy weirdly. Maybe a cult?

There is no fucking way that I am ever going to pay for a fake star ship or anything so I’m not even considering it. And the entire funding model of the game seems batshit insane to me. But to me it seems like the idea that the game is unplayable doesn’t really match the reality? Its clearly not a good value proposition at all.

Its weird I know I shouldn’t but I kind of love NMS. Its such a broad but shallow game but I cant help but spend hours on it. Being able to just jet off to a new system and explore is excellent.

Not an expert but you may want to look at your z-offset? Maybe you’re a little high off the bed?

Just as they were starting to figure it out and make a movie that if you squinted enough allllmost felt like a real star trek movie.

I print my own drywall anchors all the time and they work really well, at least for my applications!

“one on boil” is such a good expression for charging batteries. Stealing that.

The NES sesame Street games are pretty good.

My youngest loved sesame Street countdown. it was really forgiving and taught her basic platformer mechanics.
