Oh, we played starbound during it’s beta, I could have swore it never finished being made. I know it got worse at one point during the beta and then I didn’t think they ever fixed that. It was kind of dissapointing because it felt like it had the potential to be really good. We still played it a decent amount in the state it was in at the time. But it was definitely partially finished. We should check out what they did since 1.3 came out, I think that was the last we played, when mechs first came out.

Edit: looking it up, it seems like that was still basically the end of development, but there are mods now to return it to the original much more fun version of the game instead of what ended up being released. I could try playing it with those mods, I really liked the original version of the game in beta.

I would say there is no other game like it, except hundreds of other devs thought it looked easy to copy their success… and really, still… there is no other game like it.

Suppose it largely depends where they are from, gonna guess USA for you, hehe.

It’s beneficial to hang out with normal people too. Even if you have to use social skills to keep hanging out. You lose that link and lose a tether to reality.

Her job is to make sure he still has friends tomorrow.

Ah, an actor. I suppose I would have missed that take.

That is generally the impetus behind religious institutions disdain for it. Their best chance to increase their numbers is through indoctrination of the children of their current members. Conversions rarely occur, despite how much they are talked up when they do.

They are, of course, wrong to think that. Toys, in practice, generally increase intimacy and likelihood of a couple having children. But not as much as being raised your entire life being told that it is the entire purpose of life and if you don’t have as many kids as you theoretically could, you have done yourself a disservice. So as long as they conflate the results, they will keep assuming they are correct in doing both.

I literally don’t think I ever saw anyone say that.

What is a person like me?

That is an entirely separate problem that has nothing to do with if your country has universal Healthcare or privatized Healthcare. Places with private Healthcare can have just as long wait times, and places with universal Healthcare can have short wait times. Only the people trying to corrupt a system say that it will fix the wait times, don’t believe them.

Ah, fair. Upside down I’s. Yeah that checks out. Ok. Well at least that does mean the premise is possible, if they typed “We going to Disneyworld!” Which, could be the case if English is the dad’s second language. Though without going off the clues of which partial letters are attached to the same scraps of paper, not sure why/how you would go about piecing this together linearly instead of putting common or uncommon words together first.

But for us, a puzzle is a puzzle. Clearly I didn’t spend enough time looking. Doesn’t matter if the premise was real or fake, the puzzle was real to us.

My only excuse is that I just got home from New Zealand, and it was a total of 16 hours of flying and 4 hours of driving. And like 8 hours spent in Airports. And I didn’t sleep for any of it.

Which I was originally the I for going. They both seem to have part of a round letter after them. Unless they typo’d and did like giong or something. But none of the O’s fit that guess either. And the S isn’t partially cut off to be the round part following either I for Disney. It’s all just a little off from making sense. Like one or two of the letters have the right partial letter to make sense for having been together before cutting. It’s almost weird at this point that a couple of them do line up properly to make sense. Since the majority don’t.

Not sure what exactly was changed on it to make it fit their fun little joke better. But something for sure was.

I suppose it’s the problem with alot of sci-fi. It’s very hard to make well-done science fiction that also appeals to a wide audience. So they either have to fight for it every chance and likely put up with terrible funding, or compromise the integrity to appeal to more viewers.

Wait, I only just now looked it up to realize spirits within didn’t do well… People don’t like it? I thought it was really good. It felt very much in-line with a final fantasy type story, just without the grinding combat for hours part. Hehe.

Hehe yeah, I was always put off on souls games because people described them as being hard, then when there wasn’t alot of choice early on in VR games, I picked up a souls-like since it was the closest I could get to a long-form rpg at the time. And it wasn’t that hard at all, but people were still complaining about how hard it was all the time… so I tried other souls games on desktop, and they were fine too. So I picked up the actual dark souls… this is what people were complaining about? It’s like, not even megaman difficulty?

That was when I learned that it’s a good thing there wasn’t much internet yet back when I was playing megaman games, or I might have never tried them either. And also it turns out I like “hard” games, to me that is like the whole point of games. If you finish something first try, then you didn’t get better at anything.

Hehe, I just played the cat on my sister’s playthrough. Did all the tedious/difficult stuff so she could focus on the story.

I learned so many things about myself with that game. Mistakes I would have made in real relationships had I not been taught by a game that it was actually “the bad ending”. I thought I was helping, but I was hurting.

Hehe yeah, such simple games, and yet me and my sister are there day 1 for every release.

He isn’t technically able to do most of the stuff he does do. He just does it, and then time passes and then it gets declared retroactively illegal… but it still happened. He’ll probably get punished at some point… right?

I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it’s hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of “pre-processing”, lol.
