Wow. You must have been in a pretty densely populated sector. It’s such a rarity for me.

I highly recommend that you do. Give it a couple of days though -- there are some bugs that they’re currently stomping, and although you can get the beta patch for PC now it’ll take a bit longer if you’re on a console.

Well ... you’re wrong, of course.

No indeed, it really isn’t. When I first started the game I spawned on a planet with hostile life forms, and was killed three times by multiple lobstrosities before figuring out how to defend myself. It’s how we learn.

Um, all you had to do was get back in your ship.

I want one of those too. In the meantime, there are fighter-class ships that look like a Colonial Viper.

Given how great the game is now and even was at the 1.3 update a year ago, I don’t see why people keep harping on this and just move the fuck on and play.

The NMS subreddit is full of people now saying “I trashed it at release and got a refund and I WAS WRONG and this is awesome.”

I have about 500 hours of play over all versions. Only once in hundreds of star systems have I ever come across a system or planet someone else had already discovered, and that was way back in the very beginning during 1.0 when we were all spawning at a very similar point in the galaxy.

There are 16 quintillion planets…

I was about to gripe that it shows up as $129 for me but noticed that that’s for the WiFi version which I don’t need.  Still $109 for Bluetooth-only!

SHE EVEN ELIMINATED THE BA DEE YAH

The Milkshake Duck wastes no time these days.

“Man, I ain’t pickin’ up these crazy motherfuckers ...”

Never thought I’d rather hear Roseanne Barr sing it again.

Next time get your coffee and doughnuts at Morning Call in City Park. Quieter, beautiful setting, and I think the beignets are better there.

Also, get a hot sausage po-boy with cheese (dressed) at Gene’s Po-Boys on St. Claude and Elysian Fields. Their other offerings are meh, but that hot sausage po-boy is The Greatest Sandwich In This Universe And All Other Possible Multiverses.

I once recommended Tip’s to someone who was visiting the city when I wasn’t there with him. He and his lady friend decided to walk there from the Quarter, along Tchoupitoulas. They were about a third of the way there when a cab pulled over, rolled down the window and asked what the hell they were doing. “We’re walking…

“Yeah brah, dey got two speeds in dis city — slow, an’ STOP.”

Pfft. Palm Treo is the true smartphone. It’s great - I don’t have to carry my Pilot anymore!

Nope. The origin is 17th-Century French.
