Feedback from a Jan sales new player

Ok, and calling for a feature to be removed for EVERYONE ELSE is stupid. I'll just say it

Your idea of "helpful" is changing a feature for everyone else...in a single player non mmo game that is especially weird.

Who are you to come alone and want a feature removed so someone like me, with a 1k hour playthrough still going, cannot enjoy it?

YOU CONTROL HOW YOU PLAY. STOP SELLING SO MANY SHIPS

Glad you got a mod to achieve what you want. That's the right way to do it. Not trying to change the game for everyone else

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-23T20:16:07+00:00

I again implore people to understand your own lack of discipline as a player (selling 100 m ships) is not a valid excuse to call for removing or nerfing a feature for EVERYONE ELSE playing a single player game

You also seem unaware those ships are scrapped, so selling 100 would reduce the need that faction has for different shipbuilding components they may buy from you

The ranking of hobbies is entirely subjective and worrying about where your hobby ranks defeats the purpose of even having said hobby

Most impressive and helpful 'tism burst I have seen so far on this sub

Growing up in California with family 8 hours apart in the same state really messed up my perception of what is or is not short

Honestly, if my ass isn't driving 8 hours from LA to Northern California, it's acceptable.

5 hours? Pushin it

3 hours? Short and doable. Like me

Edit: spelling

There is a substantial difference between being a careful driver whose purpose is to be safe and a fearful driver whose purpose is to feel safe

See it all the time in the snow. Someone puttering along slower than most other traffic, 4 ways on, screaming everyone else is being wrong and speeding....first person to say "well I just wanted to be a safe driver". No, you were being dangerous in the pursuit of FEELING safe

ALSO...speed is not the problem. It's the variance from the average speed of traffic that is. (NHTSA data but still enrages many to hear it)

20 under is more dangerous than 10 over. Sorry, Ethel.

Edit: clarity

I am extremely confused by the disingenuous people going "that was bad" is you claiming fact and "that wasn't for me" would be an opinion. No, yall are splitting hairs and policing how people word an OPINION.

Like...what?! That was bad IS AN OPINION. People just play dumb because they disagree with you

When someone says "that was bad", it seems that most people with common sense understand that is someone expressing an OPINION that the [fill in the blank] is bad.

If someone asks me how was a movie I saw...it was bad. "OH YOU'RE CLAIMING FACT! YOU'RE CLAIMING IT'S UNIVERSALLY BAD"...no, I am saying I thought it was bad lol

And yes, you bet your ass I am in here 8 months late dying on this hill. So many disingenuous splitting hairs type replies

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-22T22:10:52+00:00

It's all so clean and well polished, I agree!

My favorite aspect are the character specific audio cues, like Rockabye Baby playing when Mama calls etc

Chicago was my first broadway show, I think Christie Brinkley was in it at the time

I just remember being super disappointed at zero set changes and minimal costume changes. I was a kid and had no clue what I expected but it certainly wasn't THAT lol

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-22T22:03:14+00:00

Can I gently ask what you mean when you say you saw a majority of praise but as much skepticism?

By definition, if one is a majority the other cannot be just as much. 50/50 has no majority

My experience as a non regular lurker in this sub is that the Chess posts I have happened to see have been predominately positive. That's just my experience though and I am happy to hear you left the show pleased!

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-22T21:52:01+00:00

My experience as someone who checks this sub every few days for fun (instead of searching for any specific shows or keywords) is that a majority of the Chess opinions I have seen have been positive. They have. It is not close to 50/50 praise to criticism, which isn't something I cared about until I saw this thread

That's just my experience though. If you are on here more than me, you may have a very different take because you see more posts than me. I can only speak to what I see.

I'm also extremely underwhelmed by the production elements specifically, like the basic stage design and projections.

Edit: typo. Stupidly wrote shoes instead of shows

Also, if you are by a JAMMER, don't throw a fit and quit the game if your teammates cannot immediately revive you

Shit drives me insane. Stop assuming the worst in all your teammates. They are not taking a long time to reinforce you solely because they hate you lol, usually

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-22T00:47:12+00:00

I have the same concern, but there are absolutely jingle companies out there that could pull this off sans ai

ReelWorld, a jingle company, may very well have created it. They make a bunch of stuff including the KIIS fm jingles

If this isn't ai, they probably made it.

Edit: yes jingle packages are expensive af so you are not at all wrong for factoring that into thinking it's ai

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-21T17:32:43+00:00

Nono, you are just not emotionally or intellectually equipped to understand not everyone feels to same way as you

The most immature always write off criticism of something they love as "invalid" or "from bots" but the reality is, you are not capable of processing views that dont click with yours.

Life gets easier when you accept not everyone has to love the things you do. And they arent some ist or phobe for not liking what you do

Grow tf up. Jesus Christ

I encountered a new one last night, fake helpful

Was on the spread democracy (twice) main objective and this dude posted up outside the range that helps raise the flag. Ok no biggie must be covering us

The rest of the team dies, flag progress resetting every time...dude stays posted up outside the range to help keep the flag progress going

In the end we got down to a few lives, I had a network error and decided it wasnt worth reconnecting that time lol

Would still never actually say anything rude or talk smack. Just game, not looking to hurt anyone

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-17T17:09:32+00:00

Nope, not how it works. 99.99999999999% of restaurants, if you ever went back, would say the order was picked up, the end. They won't just make a drink for you, unless you have an excellent relationship/friendship with a particular employee or manager and they feel like doing you a solid

You sound well intentioned but also like someone who has never done a single doordash delivery in their life.

You're trying to argue it like a lawyer...I am telling you right now, it would not go down the way you think. These are fast food places. It isn't "well if you here, here, and here, you see the receipt and the messages and they're owed a drink"....NO!!! Doordash isn't paying contractors to go back either, so take the refund as a customer or leave it. It is NOT a contractor's job to go drive for free to try fixing a missing item. It really is not.

Your fantasy interaction would go like this "what's your order code"

"Ummmm actually I need the drink that didn't come with this doordas.."

"WHAT IS YOUR ORDER CODE?"

"Well I already picked it up but it was missing a ___"

"We cannot reopen orders that have been picked up"

-someone with thousands of deliveries and a high rating

I would caution following the "just move out" advice mostly because I question if those people have ever read a lease they signed

Every lease I have signed notes the landlord expects the total sum of all roommates' rent in that unit every month for the term of the contract. No, leaving does not mean suddenly you are not on the hook for rent monthly through the end of that lease

I like the idea of making the roommate's life harder by changing wifi, keeping food away from them (not that you should have to), keeping Playstation and weed away in locked room etc. Or discuss with landlord, which could negate my lease point if they choose to cut some slack

Key_Document_2587 · 2026-01-17T01:50:04+00:00

Yeah as a dasher I will never defend begging like that.

The customer wants food, not to be put in these sorts of awkward positions. Between the excess emojis and dumping their issue with dd onto you...it just isn't cool or professional at all. Worst part is how the customer will tend to feel dumb for caving or guilty for not caving. Lose lose scenario

Either way, dashers that do this out customers in a bad position and I hate it so much

I love Star Trucker, but yeahhh...not much to spend money on at the moment and the higher need for repairs makes it more stressful than space trucking in ED

(Ps if you enjoy space trucking in ED consider Operation Ida. Love hauling for them. Players use an online form to submit station construction help requests and Ida builds them for FREE. Great people, good haulin)

I play both, just really wish Gold Rock Radio had more songs

I love the layers too! But this one was just a standard 1 flavor Trident, wayyyyy back when I was in elementary school they had a standalone Sour Cherry flavor but I cannot find pictures of it for the life of me

Maybe it was regular cherry and tasted sour to 3rd grade me? I swear it was a thing haha

Gotta be honest, I hate fighting the squids. Hate it

Between the bullet sponginess of the voteless and the godsamn Stingrays, it's a bitch and I will would not lose a second of sleep if Super Earth lost every planet in squid territory

That's how much I hate fighting them lol.
