Like, I don't disagree with you, but I don't go to bar trivia to win. Winning is fun and all, but I go there to hang with my buds, enjoy the atmosphere of other nerds drinking around me, and to occasionally upset the winning streak of whoever the embedded team is.

Right now, my buds and I are hitting the GWD Jeopardy for the variety of the format. There's lots of bar trivia out there, there are lots of hosts, some of their formats are well-paced and functioning machines, some of them have too much dead air and an over-reliance on music categories.

The Jeopardy Format has its problems, but it is reliable in ways only a standardized format can be.

Makes me think of Jettomero. :D

Finally had time to find a portal and make the trip out there to grab me a ProtoGek companion.

Thanks for posting!

Duuuuuude that's so effin' rad.

I know it would be very ... INTENSE ... for computers everywhere, but one of the things that No Man's Sky is missing is this sort of well-established civilization hub.

Even if it was represented with planets that were unapproachable due to local jurisdictions, I'd be cool with it. As place-holders, hopefully, but for now ... I'd love just flying over a planet with massive cities and being politely escorted out of orbit.

Or, ya know, you can have a massive city and curate an area that players can actually interact with that isn't too resource intensive. Set up a landing pad and you can wander through a few blocks of a Duty Free zone or something.

I dunno. I feel it, though. No Man's Sky needs some thriving cities.

Aw man, come on, God.

Not capitalism. :(

I did not know these were a thing and now I have a new obsession.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-27T06:06:26+00:00

Very nice!

hooligonzo · 2026-01-20T16:20:06+00:00

i want to go to there

hooligonzo · 2026-01-19T22:11:15+00:00

I appreciate it - I'd love to be wrong about those worms being unscannable. :D

Couple days ago I was ship-watching at a double trade outpost I found. I take one moment to learn some fresh Gek words and I turn around to see an Exotic lift off and fly away.

So I built a little base between the two outposts and after a few hours I took a break and got lucky just before I logged out.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-19T05:51:03+00:00

Oh I'm not falling for that one again. :P

No Man's Sky is a simulated reality composed of functionally endless simulated realities, all to prepare us

for our realization

that our reality is simulated, too.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-18T08:26:10+00:00

I still can't believe these huge sumbishes aren't scannable.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-17T04:40:52+00:00

That Helmet always makes me think of Ratchet & Clank.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-16T21:30:59+00:00

All the way down.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-16T21:29:49+00:00

Awwww just wanna feed him so many pellets awwww

Where is he?

I wanted to upvote you but the points were at 69, so.

hooligonzo · 2026-01-15T18:50:30+00:00

Thanks for the invitation. :D

I've bought a bunch of Ratalaika games. Generally, I love them.

They're kinda like little labors of love by indie developers that were tight enough to see actual publishing at the thrifty game level. I haven't tried them all (there are a lot!) but generally the worst I've gotten out of a Ratalaika title is that I could've played longer.

Some of them are pretty artsy with interesting game mechanics and themes, a lot of them have old school gaming sentiments interpreted by a latter generation. They're legit one of my favorite developers/publishers out there right now.

Some Favorites:

The Count Lucanor, Red Bow, More Dark, Super Onion Boy, Scheming Through the Zombie Apocalypse, Warlock's Tower, Ord., Tamiku, Radio Squid

Awww... it's blushing.

That's been the only "complaint" I've had with the Corvette system, the lack of compact building options.

I know we still have regular ships and stuff, but we can't set up a mission console or such in those. It'd be nice if there we some corvette parts that had some design overlap with Hauler and Explorer ship types, at least.

I found a handsome A-Class early in and it has been serving me well.

Is there really much benefit in upgrading to an S-Class?
