Not only does this apply to trade lanes but with regards to where you could go via jump gates or with jump holes.

You could think of jump gates like a space highway, often placed at the edges of systems connected to the rest of the important spots (or at least the important/civilized/non-criminal locations) in a system with trade lanes. Want to go to another system? You used the jump gates to do so.

This works fine for a good majority of accessing the systems in the game, but once you start getting to the more undeveloped, frontier systems, your ability to travel is also affected, like if you had to drive down a rough, dirt road as opposed to a tarmac highway.

You may have to forgo the use of trade lanes entirely in some places that don’t have them and some systems are not accessible via jump gates either, with you needing to find jump holes instead to reach them. In fact, to get some of the best ships in the game you’d have to access the Outcasts factions home planet which you can only do via said jump holes.

I thought it was really cool how they did that, was an effective little change in gameplay to show the development of a location and made exploring and going off the beaten track super rewarding!

Like a big ol’ shit flavoured ouroboros.

Now that you mention it, I find adding RPG-like elements to a game can often take away from a game rather than enhance it.

Assassins Creed is a good example of this. In the older games you didn’t have to worry about getting better loot and the like, so you didn’t have to worry about if you had enough number power to assassinate someone. If you could successfully sneak up to them, you can do it.

You did get new tools and unlocked new abilities but these were handed out at set intervals which meant that missions could be more easily balanced and designed around what the player could actually do and thus meant you as a player could focus more on planning how to strike or doing some side activities to give you an advantage such as having an area of thugs now hang around in a spot who will go after guards that are chasing you.

Where the newer ones that have adopted more RPG staples, while they still can have their moments, feel more derivative and I find it harder to get into because my brain feels like its played this game already several times before.

And its all well and good having a massive world to explore but if you just fill it up with uninspired quest design and just a ton of filler content, is it really all that worth exploring it?

I just feel sometimes games try to do too much or try to check too many boxes, when it could really shine with a more focused and linear design instead. I get people want to get as much content as they want out of a game though, especially nowadays.

Sure! There’s a general thing that people sometimes say when they struggle with alcoholism and that is that they say they have a drinking problem.

So with the joke here, rather than a drinking problem reffering to someone being an alcoholic, it is instead because they cannot hold the bottle and are thus having a problem with drinking but in a completely different way.

Hope that cleared it up a little :)

Woah these look really nice! They feel like they “pop” better and more visually distinguish it being a beehaw community as well!

God I love this song, never fails to get me dancing and in a better mood.

I swear as well that Tekkno Train wouldn’t be out of place in Eurovision either.

I’m not quite familiar with the Rio Grande river and what lives there but couldn’t this cause a lot of issues for the wildlife in the river as well? Like if anything is migrating up and down it couldn’t the barrier just block them from doing so?

Fishing is pretty interesting to discuss in terms of a game mechanic in terms of enjoyablity since it seems like a very marmite “you love it or hate it” sort of deal and seems to pop up in lots of games. Some people love it precisely because of its slow-paced, chill nature. I quite enjoyed it when I played some of the MMO’s that have a fishing profession as a pretty low energy thing to do when I wanted to focus on talking to guildies or doing some other thing in the background.

Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I’d thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D

I wouldn’t necessarily say excited myself, it feels more bittersweet. On the one hand it like sucks for folk on a personal level who might have really enjoyed being part of a certain community, or all the work people have put into moderating, posting content or their work on a third party app is just going up in smoke in a snap.

But on the other, it feels like sweet sweet delicious karma for the stupid bullshit Reddit’s leadership have done over the years and getting to see the birth of something new and better to come out of the ashes. Hopefully this place sticks around because its felt like a breath of fresh air honestly.

Pull a little silly and just keep slighty moving the buoys further up the river every night and see how far they can get before someone notices

Awwww man not another head shot, I’ve only gotten over the headache from the last oneeeee ;w;

Clearly didn’t stand a chance with skills like that :o

Arghhhhhh nooooooo its too cool aaaaaaa! ded

Would it help if I pulled out the finger guns as a hail mary attempt to distract from the weight of my sins?

I dunno if it would actually do anything but it feels rad to do regardless :p

Good god I knew it wasn’t going to go well but I didn’t think they’d crash and burn it THIS bad.

The bar was on the floor and they still managed to somehow clip underneath it through the floor, end up in some backrooms-esque dimension only to trip on a banana peel and land face first in a pie.

You may stop for now but the seed has already been planted mwhahahaha evil thunder sounds

Owh NowoH DoCtOw ItS SpwEadIng ;w;
