Yep. For what it’s worth. I played about six hours today and had an absolute blast. Definitely some UI weaknesses, but I’ve been focusing more on the big changes to the gameplay loop, and I like them so far.

But I’m just some random online.

Sorry I haven’t had my coffee and might have missed it, but did either commenter you replied to say people deserve to be put in camps?

Can confirm. Am public employee. My shit is public.

This was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Forbes suggested closer to 40. (not saying youre wrong, I literally just read that review)

Like Russ and Rebecca, from Chums?

I’ve also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.

By what definition of middle class are you considering $250,000 to be middle class? That’s greater than the 90th percentile income.

I’ll be very interested to learn more about the UC vs Freestar conflicts. Here’s hoping for a complicated politics!

It’s gotta be artful sarcasm

Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it’s easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It’s still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth for sure. I think I’m around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.

How do you figure?

Single player social media, perfect.

This has to be a joke. Reminds me of getting a handful of nugs from my dealer in high school, pre-legalization, because he ran out of bags. Or a cigarette wrapper that was burnt shut to hold a dime bag.

Weird how actual slavery was “no big deal” but paying taxes is the worst thing ever because it’s tantamount to slavery and theft.

You’re not alone. I hate musicals. Love that they can have fun like this in Trek, but please never again please because I’ll have to watch that one too.

Edit: Chapel’s number was pretty cool though.

First: Be patient in fights. More patient than you’re probably used to.

Second: Do not fear the loss of runes. Consider runes gone the moment you die. Then if you get them back, it’s just a nice little boon. (Of course, also be smart and strategic about timing your level ups.)

This was general advice I got that helped me not psych myself out and get into the flow of the game.

I’ll also say fuck Asurion. They seemingly bricked my phone during a routine repair. Obviously they came up with a flimsy excuse for why it wasn’t their fault, but regardless I ended up walking out with a paperweight instead of a screen damaged but otherwise fully functional device. Would’ve been better off not seeking their service.
