Watched the Starfield gameplay, when Todd Howard pulled out his space laser to mine iron ore it was like my soul left my body and i watched the rest of the trailer in a dissociative state.
I like Minecraft. It's a good time. I also really like Satisfactory. But every single other game that has resource mining would be better off without it. It's like hacking and lockpicking minigames, the only thing it can possibly offer to the player is a minute of annoyance - but with mining it's often hours of annoyance.
ha ha
?
Did I say something unintentionally funny? I wasn't making a joke. I also don't get it. :blob-no-thoughts:
tension tool
also fully derailing but we should have a lockpicking comm.
Ohhhhh I get it now. Heh :bloomer:
Feels simultaneously too niche and too... attention attracting. Maybe something more euphemistic like "physical security" would be a better choice. We're not trying to break into any buildings, just evaluating products.
if this were more like a forum (god i wish it were more like a forum) i'd just make a general on /c/technology, but what's the point when it'll die within a day and can't be bumped?
anyway as cool as crime is, there's a huge legal, recreational lockpicking community.
