While I do agree, there are steps that NMS could have done to allow people to keep their favorite settlements/planets. They could:

  • Only apply the new planet generation to undiscovered/new planets

  • Keep the old generation in a different "dimension" and allow players to view older dimensions

  • Only apply the new generation to planets that haven't had visitors/people there for X time.

Among other things. It's not an impossible problem, but it definitely would require quite a bit of extra work for Hello Games.

Maybe, but to me it's voice chat + matchmaking.

I used to play on a few Day of Defeat: Source servers, and I met a ton of great online friends there. That's because they were dedicated and moderated servers that kicked and banned people for being assholes, in or out of voice chat.

But... If you're confident that you're never going to see the people in your match again, it's way easier to be assholes to them.

How about the explicit call for punishing political rivals and giving the president dictator like powers? You don't think that's at least a LITTLE bit fascist? Did you even read any of it?

I hit a deer while listening to the band Deerhunter. Was a bit surreal.

It works a bit better if you put a little bit of wood glue on the tip of each toothpick before driving it into the hole. Definitely a great trick!

Somebody convince me I'm wrong.

There is no reason to display "100%" in your UI for more than a single second. Either show 99% and then finish, or show 100% only when you are ACTUALLY done and only show it for a little.

If you're still doing ANYTHING AT ALL don't say you're 100% complete. How is it still like this

I mean, what Republicans want is generally just the opposite of what Democrats want, plus some additional cruelty.

It's similar to confirmation bias, but I think that's the wrong name for the phenomenon. Confirmation bias is when we don't question things that align with our world view and reject things that don't align with it. It's certainly related to a desire for a sense of superiority, but there is something about that specific rush of neurotransmitters.

This is definitely my experience, even as a fairly social ADHD haver. I think sometimes I come on too strong because I'm trying to figure out and meet people's expectations, though I think I'm not great at evaluating what exactly those are and heavily overestimate a lot.

Like most liberal women, she has been relentlessly slagged in the media since she got any amount of recognition. I'd look more closely at her actual politics and history, because while it isn't perfect, it certainly is different than how the public seems to (negatively) perceive her.

Lol only conservatives have made the ridiculous statement that "Biden is the most left wing president." That is hilarious though.
