eh - no.
Even landing - every ship has (as modeled in their universe) weight, and a center of gravity. So if something has been mis-planned, the landing gear might misbehave and the whole ship topple over. They had to learn this the hard way too, when they introduced wind on planets some parked ships could get blown…

you are not seriously comparing a one-person-game that has a very limited scopy of content with a game where the company has scaled up over the years to over 400 people and the game got so massive they had to expand the mathematical capabilites of the game engine to store coordinates big enough?
You could basically…

Have you ever looked at what goes into modeling a ship to a finished level, or what they are calling “gold standard” now?
For that a ship has to have working entry methods, working hatches for exchanging components, working geometry for flight/landing modes, damage states for all of these parts separately (because…

Ah, I just saw your second addition to your post.
I have to say, in this case Star Citizen is not for you. Probably Squadron 42 will also not fill your bill, it will be more of a tight-knit campaign like Wing Commander, maybe with a few choices of path like those games had, but no big difference in the end. With the…

if they haven’t released a game, then I wonder what I’ve been playing for years now. And had lots of fun with it with loads of friends.

not really true, but I’d say try one of the free fly weeks. The community is mostly helpful and will get you up and running ingame.
You are correct that quite a few of the promised gameplay loops haven’t made it into the game yet, but against all odds, they are trickling in. Medical stuff is next, so medbays on ships…

The game has changed a lot over the past years concerning playability and stuff to do.
You can do a lot as a single player - mining via ship, ground vehicle or on foot, do cargo missions both legal and illegal, go bounty hunting, track down individuals that have fortified with their gang in abandoned hideouts and shoot…

A lot of the jokes got lost in translation into other languages though.
I was infuriated at the beginning when they started translating everything in the German game client into our native language, and then suddenly even started renaming cities and landscapes - though verbally and thematically corrent - since we were…

Basically everywhere when you cook yourself. 2KG of potatoes: 2€, 500gram of curd: about 1€, 500g ground meat: 2,5€ - then you only need some seasoning (free from your garden or balcony), maybe an onion (cheap as f*), and off you go. Roast the ground beef and mini-diced onion in a pan, boil the potatoes, but seasoning…

The better option would be: Release a game for your past and current platform, charge the same amount for it, make one purchase and let the user play it anywhere they like.
That is the better option. Everything else is garbage.

Depends on your taste. Nothing that was ever offered on a Sony console came close to Forza Horizon 3 &4 for me.
And yes, those are “Xbox” exclusive, speaking of Xbox as an ecosystem, because on PC you also mostly use their xbox app when you are playing cross-platform purchases (those don’t work on steam where you can…

yes, she is, but not “shouting at clouds” but rather “unhinged rambling”.
But she’s been weird for a long, long time. Esoteric stuff and everything. Doesn’t really helpt that a lot of anthroposophic, esoteric and eco-friendly stuff here goes back to the teachings of Steiner from the 3rd Reich, so basically you have…

The problem is possibly the music. 99 Luftballons is a song by Nena, who is on the forefront of Anti-Vaccers and Covid-deniers in Germany, even going so far as to imply to concert-goers that they should ignore the restrictions under which the concerts were only allowed - leading to basically the cancellation of her…

Not entirely wrong. When I change the coolers on my graphics cards for beefier ones I can measure lower temps over the whole board, even though I can overclock the card and it draws more power. Hotter heatsinks mean that the heat isn’t transferred away from the heatsink as fast as it should, leading to hotter…

The Audi B5 is a nice starting point, but forget the V6, it is garbage.
Go for the 1.8 litre 150HP inline 4 with turbo.
That is the base engine for the TT/S3 210/225hp variant. And it is tunable. VERY tunable. The 1.8T is basically like Lego, you take the block from one variant, the head from another, the intakes from…

Ford Escort RS Cosworth.

You now go: wait, what? That mythical rallye car, and you say it is underrated?
Yes. I do. Because I’ve driven one. And what makes it underrated is the package of all of it.
You see, I am not a “good” or “fast” driver per se. I can move cars safely at high speeds, but I won’t break any lap…

everything retro ist going ab absurdedly in price. Look at old computer hardware, VC20, C64, Amiga, ST - the prices are through the roof.
Retro hardware ist being made to keep existing machines running, or upgrade them, but even then the parts prices are insane.
New case for an Amiga 1200? around 150-200€. For a plastic…

Wrong.
If you are not buckled up and hurt during a crash, you hurt a LOT of other people: Your relatives, who will have to nurse you due to your crippling injuries which could’ve been avoided by wearing a f*ing belt, and/or the first responders who either see a hurt, but alive person in a seat or a bag of meat and…

I’ve seen accidents happen where people just wanted to drive their car from their driveway to the curb and got hit on the road because they weren’t paying attention when leaving their premises. The results could’ve been miles better wearing a belt (car got hit sideways and driver was thrown around the cabin).
For just…

not wooden. Concrete. If something is worth being done, it is worth being done right.
