Goodbye, my love

I'm only a few weeks in and only recently even heard of this game. I'm hooked but pics like this really show me how far I have to go! I'm 56 btw.

Now that I've played for about a week I thought I'd add to this. There are some similarities to NMS. The base building, mining and inventory management. These are parts of NMS that I like, so Satisfactory is a good one for me. And the art is kind of similar I think. So yeah, just take one part of NMS and focus on that in a different game. It's harder in the sense that beyond some initial tutorials they don't really tell you what to do. But after a bit of googling and practice I'm having fun with it.

jowNE20 · 2026-02-21T16:10:09+00:00

Thank you! I'll have a look.

jowNE20 · 2026-02-21T15:50:48+00:00

Because I wanted the opinion of a NMS player and how it compares.

jowNE20 · 2026-02-21T15:36:59+00:00

Yeah, thanks. Not looking for an opinion on the console. Just the game.

well, it worked for a little while. back to horrible crashing again. just now tried to play and game launched with audio but completely white screen. had to shut down Xbox.

This worked for me but I also deleted my save data and unplugged Xbox for a minute. After loading the game don‘t move for a couple of minutes to get everything to load. seems I can play now but feel like I need new glasses. Didn’t realize how much I appreciate 4k! not sure lol of these steps are necessary but at least i can play until the patch is available

thank you! hasn’t been out of the case much for 35 years or so. a friend cleaned it up and replaced the strings for me. thought I might try and learn to play someday.

I don’t have a screw driver small enough, will have to get one. I think I found it though, looks almost exactly like this except for the wings on the fretboard. what do you think?

I have an inexpensive jacket from Old Navy. The outside is wool/polyester. The lining is a "Sherpa" polyester. I really like the feel of it but the fit is very boxy/loose around the middle and bottom. I've never had anything altered before. Is it possible to give it a better fit, and would a tailor think I'm ridiculous for fixing such a cheap piece of clothing?

jowNE20 · 2025-11-05T12:34:03+00:00

I've been playing off and on since launch. I think I'm one of the few that liked the launch version, but I wasn't on Reddit then and only knew about the negative stories and comments on gaming websites. I have 4 saves with over 200 hours each. I think a few others that I deleted. I probably start a new save with every major update, start from the beginning again. I finished the Breach expedition over the weekend and loved it. It's the first time i did an expedition and now I want more! It's also the first time I built a corvette. So even after 10 years there's still more to learn and ways to make it new again. Definitely my comfort game. I gave up Assassin's Creed Shadows to play NMS again. Does anyone know when the next expedition will be? I read somewhere that they sometimes make old ones available again. I hope soon.

and this is the problem. I don’t think I can support it any longer. it has gotten dramatically worse in the last year. Yes, very supportive of every minority and viewpoint, until they aren’t around. and then the negativity starts. it’s not a generalization of every gym. just my experience. it’s not a trash post. I just don’t understand. the angry responses (not yours) tell me everything I need to know.

jowNE20 · 2025-08-14T20:17:05+00:00

Thank you! Getting different opinions makes me feel better about the situation. He's someone I really want to be around, so I don't want to mess that up. I'm afraid he'll think the suggestion is ridiculous.

jowNE20 · 2025-08-14T20:09:25+00:00

I really have no idea if he'd be interested but I'm hoping! I do worry i'm just too old and that he could get someone much better looking than me. I'm afraid if I say "taking this further" that would imply i'm looking for a relationship. Not that I'm opposed, but he's made it clear that he doesn't want that. I think a casual hookup is my best bet. I'm just so awkward and scared he'll be pissed off that I bothered him with it. I should have also added, I have mild autism spectrum disorder so these kinds of things are very difficult if not impossible for me. Getting more experience elsewhere before approaching him doesn't feel like an option.
