Trick you into what? Having a conversation?
I think you know perfectly well what women fear from men. That’s not to say it was necessarily the intention of this person to have anything nefarious happen.
Meanwhile women post videos asking “why can’t I find a date? Why won’t anyone say hi”.
Strawman. OP didn’t, and she’s the person we’re currently discussing.
How do you define neurotypical then?
As a “neurotypical”, if I understand that term correctly, I can enjoy a conversation and silence alike without awkwardness. I’d rather have silence than to sit with someone who insists on filling every pause with meaningless chatter.
I believe you.
Yes, I have. The others in my party who saw it happen just laughed about it.
I’m guessing you were one of the people saying “all lives matter” when BLM appeared?
Yes, it’s hyperbole. I didn’t mean there are literally only 5.
These are my criticisms of the game I’ve played since the closed beta. Namely that it all feels the same. Yes, like I said in my other comment, there’s inevitably repetition in any game, but Elite is very shallow compared to most other sandbox games I’ve played.
Star types exist, yes, but they’re just floating orbs of fire with different colors. Stations and outposts etc exist, but you interact with them in the same way. What is there to interact with? How does it affect the system around it or the gameplay? Factions at war spawn conflict zones, but aside from those, there’s very little to make you feel like a war is actually taking place. Exploration? I haven’t done that in a long time, but at least before, it consisted of you jumping to a system, honking your system scan and then going to the next system. Engineering is “hey, let’s play around with a random number generator”, and then wasting a lot of resources you’ve managed to collect in various places over a not insignificant amount of time.
Yes, it’s a sandbox and I don’t mind repetition, but if after a week of playing you feel like you’ve seen pretty much everything there is to see, barring the things you need to grind for, I wouldn’t consider it worth the entrance price.
If you consider that “besmirching” the game, then I would call you excessively defensive. It’s just a game, and it doesn’t need you to defend it.
I don’t mean to suggest Elite is necessarily a bad game because of it. Every game is ultimately limited in some ways. I’ve enjoyed most of my time playing it, until I hit the part where any kind of grinding just makes me unwilling to participate. I do occasionally install it, fly around a bit in VR and blast some enemies. That keeps me entertained for a few hours. Then I uninstall it and forget it exists for a few years.
So you might have fun playing it, you might not. There’s a fair amount of grinding required to get the better ships or a big number in your credits account. If the limited amount of variety isn’t an obstacle for you, then there’s a decent chance you’ll have fun.
If you have to ask, you won’t understand.
Haven’t tried NMS, but I’d guess probably? “A mile wide and an inch deep” is the phrase I’ve commonly seen used with regards to Elite. Sure, there’s a whole galaxy worth of systems, but they’re all pretty much the same, with the same activities.
What is there to explore?
A whole galaxy…
…of the same 5 types of solar systems, 5 types of tasks and 5 types of stations with randomized distances in between.
Lizards may be scary, but nothing can beat the dreaded Starfleet double-hand punch.
Yeah, I have keywords for the usual suspects as well, but that requires them to be mentioned by name in the title, and it doesn’t cover US politics not involving those.
I wish people would limit US politics to comms designated for that, rather than forcing the rest of us to wade through that filth looking for world news. It’s already all over every other news source.
I was walking down the street on a rainy day, and saw a father and his kid walking the opposite way. The dad looked as annoyed as you possibly could by the rain. The kid was the complete opposite, he was having a blast hopping around and splashing the water. Brightened my day. It’s been years, but I still remember it and use it as a reminder not to take life too seriously.
Attention Bajoran workers, if you do not build a statue of me within 5 minutes, I will be forced to release neurocine gas into the habitat ring.
