There’s the problem. You bought a BSG rpg wanting it to not be a BSG rpg. They will always make this style of game. If you want a different style of game, they will disappoint you.

Ive been playing BSG rpgs since Morrowind, and so I got exactly what I was expecting, with some cool extra bits on top. And as such, I absolutely love it!

I played Outer Worlds and, I think I completed it. The setting got old and the plot… what was the plot again…? I’m like 90% sure I finished it but I couldn’t tell you what happened.

Contrast that to Starfield, I’ve completed two faction quest lines and they were both superb. They took unexpected twists and turns and were full of lore and interesting characters. The Crimsom Fleet quest line was epic, and payed off in just the right way for me (seriously the discovery at the end is 🤌). The Rjujin quest line was also great, and took such an unexpected turn from the initial thing of applying for an office job. Also the toy you get from the questine is really fun to play with, crazy that someone might play the whole game and miss it because they thought applying for a corp job would be boring.

At the moment I’m taking a break from story missions, and I’ve been taking pirate hunting bounties, and just exploring. I’ve found loads of random encounters and followed threads to some epic stuff. And I’ve still only just started the main quest line.

The game is so much deeper than Outer Worlds, while also being far broader. Also, Bethesda make open world games, if they had released something as stripped back and linear as OW, they pull have been torn apart for it, even more than they are now.

Oh man of I could customise a buggy as well, and have that buggy drove out of my customised ship, I’d be so bloody happy about that

I switched from playing on my 1440p monitor to my 4k TV the other day and all my old screenshots have a black box round them whe they come up in the menus now. I’m wondering if, when I switch back, my 4k shots will all be zoomed in…

I’ll add the Discworld games. And Simon the Sorcerer!

Yeah the lack of city maps is frustrating. So hard to find your way to certain places without a mission to go there.

Just in case you don’t know, CP2077 is great now, and set to get better when the dlc drops soon.

Starfield early access hits tomorrow, I think it’s gonna be tricky to convince myself to also do my washing, shopping, etc. this weekend!

Its just how photography copyright law works. The person who presses the button owns the photo. I was a wedding photog or a while. I wouldn’t stop the couples sharing my photos on social media, but they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the photos for use in marketing or anything. Nit that ot ever came up.

If a couple asked me not to use their photos for advertising then I would have taken them down, not because I was legally obliged to, but because I’m not a horrible person.

When I was getting started I charged less, because I didn’t have examples of my work at weddings. But I made it very clear to the couple that I would be using the photos for advertising o get my business off the ground, so they knew their pics would be all over my website, etc.

Binging with Babish is very cool. He makes food fro TV shows and movies. And he has really sexy arms.

I’m forever your girl!

I’m a special education teacher and today I was tasked with writing a baseline assessment for the use of an iPad. Was expecting it to take all day. I tried starting with ChatGPT and it spat out a pretty good one. I added to it and edited it to make it more appropriate for our students, and put it in our standard format, and now I’m done, about an hour after I started.

I did lose 10 minutes to walking round the deserted college (most teachers are gone for the holidays) trying to find someone to share my joy with.

DayZ?

The Nature Centre - art-pop from Birmingham, UK. They’re great!

I like that your comment is the tl;dr for the above comment

I’ve made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.

Be the change you want to see. It’s never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I’ve only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I’ve seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It’s cool!

Weird that he died from fentanyl at the exact same time was he was being choked to death

It was the word ‘subducting’ that really sealed it for me

Yep I take milk, no sugar, thanks. If you’re pitting the kettle on, like.

Thanks, didn’t know most of this! Sad about spinach, and i guess i will have to limit the amount of my mum’s homemade rhubarb ice cream that I eat, although I guess the cream would help?

Oh man, that’s a dilemma. I’ve had a kidney stone, so I know that they are agony. But I’m English! I can’t just not drink tea!
