  • In the limited time I’ve played, I noticed no bugs. I’m the kind of “player” who tries to break the game or at least the experience. The last time I hopped on was about a year ago, I played for about 2 hours, and everything was flawless.

    What I didn’t love is how. much. fucking. time. is. wasted. sitting. on. a. ship. Soooooooooo sloooooooooowwwwwwwww.

    If more of the ship mechanics they’ve proposed (sabotage, engineering, repairs) make it into the game, I’ll likely sing a different tune.

    For the most part, the game feels like a very very interactive waiting room before the actual gameplay loads.

    Personal note: I’m annoyed to no end that you can drink soda cans, crush them, and throw them, but no one ever reacts when you hit them with one and no one trips on them. My priorities are peculiar but consistent.









  • Cent is 100. Like how a “C-note” is a $100 bill. Per cent is “out of 100.” 50% tariff is “out of every 100 finance units, 50 will get an additional charge.”

    50 per cent(100). Percent is the same word mashed together.

    I can get how it looks weird to you if you’re used to writing and reading “percent.” It’s kinda like writing “a dios”(to God) instead of “adios”(goodbye) to someone who speaks Spanish. Adios is borrowed from adieu(goodbye) in French. Adieu is the mashed up version of “a dieu”(to God fr) which is the shortened version of “a dieu vous commant”(I commend you to God), which was a proper farewell back in the old old old old days. While all versions of it are technically correct, it still looks weird to someone who always writes “adios” or “adieu.” In a similar fashion, I guess if someone wrote you “good bye” instead of “goodbye,” you’d probably think they dropped a punctuation or something.











  • As a citizen of fucking USA, I keep expecting to wake up one morning with bombs being dropped on us. And frankly, I fully welcome the bombs. Whatever keeps my family from reliving concentration camps.

    I’ve often wondered how I would have acted during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Apparently, the answer is “become paralyzed with fear and thank my luck every day that they didn’t come for me.”

    I’ve spent so much of my life trying to honor my family who died in the Holocaust by teaching kids about their lives and explaining how complacency will allow it to happen again. Yet here I am, metaphorically hiding under a blanket telling myself “but if the monster comes to get me, you know I’ll get them then!”

    I hate living through all this and grown to hate myself over the snivelling inactive role I play.
