My wife had a particularly trying day at work last week, and I wound up snagging this for her as a surprise gift before she got home (Steam version).

I can see where it wouldn’t be the type of game I would invest a great deal of time into, but she seems to be really enjoying it so far. She really goes in for exploring,…

You know, I left my crystal ball at home today. Bad journalist! Bad!

Thank you! It annoys me that people use “PSX” for PS1, ignoring the fact that there’s an actual PSX.

Take two unfrosted strawberry pop-tarts, sandwich them together with peanut-butter, and bam! Sogginess-free PB&J sandwich ready for your work time lunch box.

Hi Heather, I was referring to Cosmo, which was definitely a he. Now we have Narcissa, a bona fide woman, but Cosmo was a guy. To me, at least. Hope we can agree on that... ? In any case, no foul play intended. And we should really leave that gender part out. Got nothing to do with this awesome game and this amazing…

Cosmo, when he still existed, did a pretty good explanation of barrier skip. Mind you, back when it was still impossible. It’s unreal we got this far.

I am...

I play on both and rarely run into hackers on either so I wouldn’t exactly share the same sentiment. Overall, PSN has its downsides same as PC does.

Eh. Ultimately, it’s a convenience/service, rather than a commodity—and convenience economy tends to inflate a little faster than commodities, largely because we don’t need whatever service is being packaged and sold as a convenience.

I’m not particularly chuffed about paying an extra ten bucks a year, particularly…

Yeah, everything is fun and laughter until you get something like Longchu:

Makes me feel better about not having a snorlax

Yeah his problem was that he got into a fight with the faceless hoard that is the internet. I have never seen anything good come of fighting with the faceless ones.

this is fantastic. Thank you, Master-D.

The game shines when you completely dismiss the thought of goals and objectives, and truly embrace the idea of being an explorer. I left my first planet quickly, because I wanted to see at least two of them before my Steam refund window ran out. And I haven’t left that second planet since then. I’ve even exploring…

I think a lot of people like it still, myself being one of them

Major props to that guy, I did something very similar on my first planet except after getting all the species I took off. Reading Kirk’s review of his second playthrough gave me new life and I’m on a quest to land in a system and just absorb it, I too want to get my inventory in check.

“New Game +”

the pro-“free speech”/anti-any-sort-of-consequence-for-being-a-noxious-dick crowd is throwing a fit over this

This is terrific.

Bethesda is running that joke so far into the ground it wound up in Hell.
