Is this one of those games that has a single player mode, but you have to be online in order to play it?

Its ok, they can always pull a Star Wars and work on the first few after finishing the later ones.

Most everyone else has already directly answered your question.

I’m hoping that some of the work from Light No Fire will be brought back into No Man’s Sky. Specifically so that we end up seeing planets with much more diverse biomes.

How has this game been since release?

I saw a lot of controversy in its early days about stealth gameplay, your ability to keep weapons after climbing ladders, through different areas, etc.

Have there been any other major updates, or is this the first major game update?

It’s also worth pointing out that your upvotes are public here (using something like kbin/mbin to view a lemmy instance). Downvotes could also be seen if some other instance connects to your instance and decides to display downvote information.

If it’s a question that has no answer (or no useful answer) it’s totally fine to comment with an answer.

I figure that someone will eventually stumble across the same thread that I did if they have a similar question. Might as well contribute and share some knowledge.

Relevant xkcd:

I’m definitely looking forward to this game.

It’s looking good from what I’ve seen so far.

Then there’s also the download then upload into the comment approach:

It really depends on how you define “scam”. It’s not a scam by how I would define it.
With the loosest definition possible, sure. I bought into a scam. I’m not a fan of all their marketing tactics.

But the game is playable enough for me and I really enjoy playing it. I did my research and I knew what I was paying into at the time. I’ve gotten my money’s worth already and I’m still enjoying it, which is a lot better than what I can say for some other games out there.

For me, I followed the development for about 1-2 years before buying into a starter package. Then, I didn’t spend anything else until I was confident that they would continue to deliver updates (about a year later).

I’ve continued to fund them here and there over the years when I feel like they’ve released some good content, but that’s because I’m comfortable supporting them.

No one actually needs to do that. With $45 you can just go out and do some FPS missions where, at the end, you’re rewarded with some of the higher end ships (Contested Zone gameplay).

Even easier is that you can just hijack an NPC/abandoned ship and, as long as you store it in your hangar at the end of each session, you can keep on using it for anything.

There’s really no need to actually pay for anything beyond the initial starter ship because almost everything else is earnable/hijackable in-game.

I don’t recommend that anyone spend money on this without knowing what they’re actually getting into. $40-45 is all you need to access everything that the game has to offer.

There’s a “freefly” event coming up sometime next month if you want to try it out for yourself and see if you like it or not.

If you do decide to try it out, keep an eye out on the Bug Avoidance Thread that we posted over here: https://lemmy.world/post/27541360

The game can be very buggy, but knowing how to avoid the worst bugs can make a big difference. Even then, there are still bugs that will get you. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Hmmm, time to find an app that can let me schedule a future comment then… Thanks!

Does your vote get reset exactly 24 hours after your last vote, or is it reset midnight UTC time?

I don’t think you can add any extra text when crossposting with Lemmy, but I’m not sure what instances like kbin allow.

Either way, I would expect that treating it the same way that the browser view currently does would be a good start for this specific case.

Is this how we want it to work though?

There’s a lot of context missing on one post, while it’s visible on the other. And this isn’t a problem when viewing these posts through a browser instead of Voyager.

Exactly this! Now if only Lemmy would let us hide our likes as well…

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The only thing in that list that would qualify as pre-prepared food would be the ice cream.

I make my own dishes with what I listed out and the vegan alternative is almost always more expensive in comparison.

Edit: The yogurt could technically be considered pre-prepared when I eat that on its own, but I also use it to help make sauces that go with the meals.

You’re being a bit too selective here. Let’s be honest, there’s a lot more to making good tasting vegan meals than just rice and beans. In general I’ve found that eating vegan is more expensive than the equivalent alternative.

If you want more people to eat vegan meals they also have to taste good, and you want to mix up your meals so you’re not eating the same thing every day.

For burger equivalents any vegan meat alternative is more expensive than a regular burger (I’m really hoping that cultured meat can help turn this around).

For meat alternatives seitan tastes awesome, but it’s way more expensive than most meat itself.

Tofu tastes great when you know how to prepare it well, and that’s going to be closer to alternative meat prices.

Egg alternatives are more expensive than eggs.

For dairy alternatives, milk alternatives are more expensive than milk itself.

Vegan butter is more expensive than regular butter. Vegan cheese is way more expensive than regular cheese (especially if you want it to actually taste good). Vegan yogurt is more expensive than regular yogurt. Vegan mayonnaise is way more expensive than regular mayo. Vegan ice cream is way more expensive than regular ice cream.

What a hastily written article…

Some additional information that the reporter failed to realize: The employee was a Customer Service Manager, not an “anonymous former developer”.

Based on this it looks like he was not very involved in the actual development itself, so take that into account when he talks about the “design trajectory”.
