Well that’s just super neat. Now shut up and take my money.
- Comment on Starfield’s biggest update yet fixes its rubbish maps, adds custom difficulty and expands ship decoration 2 months ago:
And Arena. And they were pretty boring for exploration too. Fast travel was essential. It was a marvel at the time but walking over bland terrain for hours got old quick.
Back then, it was just epic to have an epic-sized game with decent combat and magic. They’re dime a dozen now.
- Comment on Starfield’s biggest update yet fixes its rubbish maps, adds custom difficulty and expands ship decoration 2 months ago:
The sad fact is that, even with vehicles, the sense of exploration and wonder just isn’t there in Starfield. Get in ship. Fast travel. Fast travel. Get out. Travel to the same POI you’ve seen before but now on a different planet. It feels like there’s no real exploration, just bumbling around in menus and experiencing déjà vu anywhere that isn’t a major settlement.
What I really really wish they’d do is just make a single planet and work their butts off making it interesting to explore. That’s what I loved about Bethesda games; walking in any direction and stumbling on something wonderful. There’s none of that in Starfield.
I’m looking forward to Light No Fire from Hello Games - hopefully they find the right balance between procedural generation and hand crafting that Bethesda sorely imbalanced in Starfield.

Holy moly. Fingers crossed they’re able to convince NVIDIA to go full steam ahead on the open source driver.
- Comment on The survival game based on Terminator enters early access in October 2024 4 months ago:
I think the journalist might want to have led with “ It’s made by Nacon Studio Milan, who so far have only released two motorbike games.”
Either that means we’ll get some decent driving mechanics or this thing will be poop.
- Comment on I love you guys 4 months ago:
I need this in curly script, little love hearts dotted around the edge, and laser cut into wood and hung on the wall of my house. Now.

What an incredible story. I can’t imagine the strain holding so much trauma must have caused Mr Kurzem all those years. Thank you for sharing, OP.
