Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Releases today - Lemmy.World

The game comes out today. Has anyone had a chance to check it out yet? I played the demo and wrote my review below. I played the demo on steam deck and I mostly enjoyed it. It more or less plays out a tutorial mission while the events of the pilot play out. Game play (in the demo) had 4 distinct parts: space combat, away missions, navigating and flying around space, and ship “stuff”. I disliked the space combat the most. It was an odd mix of turnbased and real-time actions. I never knew where the enemy ship was, and I had trouble balancing the repairs i needed to survive. Away missions are essentially choose your own adventure text games with some cool art depicting the scenes based on who you select for your mission and what they do. Navigating and flying around space was fun, but I can see it getting very boring very quickly. Fly from wherever you are to the next system. fly around the planets picking up resources, investigating signals, talking to civilizations. I think if they find a creative way to mix this part up, it can be tons of fun. Ship “stuff” is very derivative of games like fallout shelter. You have a sideview of the entire ship. you can repurpose rooms for different things, assign personnel to various places like medical or engineering. You can even install new weaponry or equipment to use in space combat or for flying around. I’ll be picking up this game eventually, I am curious what anyone else thinks about it, too.

what kind of at home spa type care do you enjoy? - Lemmy.World

I am looking ahead to Christmas gifts for my wife. We have the week off and have talked before about having an at home spa day. I am going to get some exfoliating scrubs and some lotions. What are some things you like? Are there any whole kits for the home you are aware of? I feel like I’d go to bath and bodyworks or bed bath and beyond, but there aren’t any of either nearby any more.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat - Lemmy.World

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you forget to check it, or get added to a new one, you can’t really do anything about it. I just want to be able to get notified once that the chat has new messages, decide how I want to react, and then move on from it. Is that too much to ask?
