And if they have half a brain they will insure it through the courier so they are responsible for it being delivered safely. Depends where you live but I think most places it’s the seller you contact as they sent the package and are paying for the shipment.

I am sure the team sure feel motivated to release that on time and at high quality…
- Comment on Valve make adjustments to Steam tags, and they settled the Vampire Survivor-like argument with Bullet Heaven 6 days ago:
Bullet heaven is often more about making good builds than skills in pressing WASD
- Comment on Steam's NSFW and Mature tags ditched by Valve in favour of "more descriptive" ones like Sexual Content and Gore, as part of wider revamp 6 days ago:
Omg did they just use the c bomb in that game? They did! I am going to complain!
Meanwhile at work - hey jack, some cunts on the phone for you!
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 6 days ago:
The war is fighting and taking territory. If you can make more money selling somewhere else then you can buy better gear for the fights.
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 6 days ago:
Why sell to an orgs defined price if it’s worse for me than the open market?
If the price is better then I will just buy shitloads of it from the open market and sell it to them without having to work for it in the first place.

Opportunity cost. Better to get the most valuable stuff you can rather than something just because it was one of yours.
EVE is peak capitalism and warfare. Best represented by the Caldari state - which is a nation of mega corporations.
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 1 week ago:
I don’t see why anyone in either game would give a shit about the other. Why would I give you your ship parts back? I’ll just sell it at the market rate. You could offer me the market rate but why even bother contacting me for it when the market has them for the market rate already.
Sure it puts the games clearly in the same universe with a shared market. But its just joining 2 spreadsheets together.
Now if the arrangement was sharing the salvage and still living EVE ships can provide fire support to a team getting salvage that could be more of an actual integration between games that matters. Even a small ship in EVE has a bunch of 200mm autocannons with the larger ships going up to a couple metre wide shells.
FPS players could be given some kind of anti ship weapon installation to fight for as their method of fighting back too. Electronic warfare or some torpedo launchers should do the trick - which would look like an ICBM silo to anyone on the ground near it.
- Comment on Subnautica 2's no-killing ethos "will be a continued point of resistance" among players, say Unknown Worlds, but they have no plans to change it 1 week ago:
Yeah, designed right I can see it being fine. You can’t kill a rock falling towards you, you have to avoid it. As long as anything that could kill you is something that makes sense you would be unable to kill it then it seems fine to me.
If you can’t kill something that should be easy enough to kick to death then it comes across as odd.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games, Mozilla, EFF and others release statement urging UK policymakers to keep the web open 2 weeks ago:
Not really practical for most of us
- Comment on EVE Online will be used to help train Google DeepMind's AI tech, as company take a minority stake in the former CCP Games 2 weeks ago:
I guess this is to fund another game that no one will play… How much have they spent on trying to make other games instead of making EVE?
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 4 weeks ago:
I like my original steam controller but that is a lot. I need some more cheap controllers tbh for co-op games like overcooked. Also need more good local co-op games because it isn’t something I have really bought much of before as I always play on my own or online. But if my partner has friends over we only have my PC.

So the future is open source or shit. I guess it’s an improvement.

Oh, the game that taught me spending money on free to play games is a terrible idea.

- Comment on What game had you like this? 1 month ago:
Kenshi. I got it in 2013. It seemed interesing but ran so badly on my machine at the time that I gave up on it. Played it again when I got a better PC and some religious people came around to preach and hand out bibles, I put them in a skin peeler.

Always need fresh leather and organ donors.
- Comment on Firefox v149 is getting a free built-in VPN and other new features 2 months ago:
Not always true. Sometimes things can be free in the hope to get someone to become a customer after using the free version. You also have FOSS which clearly doesn’t see you as the product.

What about non AI slop? Youtube has a shitload of that too.

Not played enshrouded in a while, should play again sometime. Ideally play some coop too
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 2 months ago:
I don’t find free/very cheap live service games to be quite so bad if its fun to play without spending much/anything. But the knowledge that it will disappear at some point is still a negative.
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 2 months ago:
I mainly hear about games through Gaming on Linux or recommendations from others, works as a pretty good way to filter out the shit.
- Comment on And there it is: Highguard is shutting down next week 2 months ago:
Never heard of it, shit like this is just more reasons to avoid live service games. Certainly don’t spend money on them as it’s likely to disappear sometime.
- Comment on Timberborn devs announce automation is coming to the city-builder in the 1.0 release 2 months ago:
“Take it a step further and pause your Lumber Mills when you are running low on logs” - so resource levels can be used to enable or disable jobs, wanted something like that for ages!
The HTTP thing seems interesting but not sure if it’s overly practical to benefit from. Seems like it can only send true/false values, things I can think of doing would take a huge number of in-game sensors to read values.
Idea I had was a terminal window or web interface on a tablet with readouts like Bread: |||____ Bakery: Active, it would be possible but each bar on the stockpile readout would require building and configuring another thing ingame. Would love it if I could just send all resource data out over HTTP with a single resource counter building.

If its on the OS at least there is just 1 thing to bypass I suppose is the main benefit I can see with that method.
- Comment on California law to require operating systems to check your age 2 months ago:
Step 1: don’t worry you don’t even need to give it ID!
Step 2: now pretty much everyone has implemented this, we will require ID

No idea what either game is and the article doesn’t exactly make me want to care.
- Comment on Kerbal Space Program spiritual successor Kitten Space Agency now has a Linux version 2 months ago:
Yeah that is what I liked doing with KSP mods. My last long playthrough was using USI mods and that at least partially gets away from the jank by abstracting the majority of the bases across the solar system to a spreadsheet with no parts used, including interplanetary logistics. Then you just need a few parts where you want to take some actual resources out to use them for something.
I got to the point of having fuel stations around orbit of Kerbin and both of its moons, also had rare mineral mining going to make cash. If I play again the next step is to start mining and refining useful amounts of metals so that my orbital ship assembly doesn’t need to import quite so much mass from the space centre. Start with mining to make the heavy bits first and then over time build more and more of the production chain myself in space so fewer and fewer things need to be launched into space.
Once all that stuff is done, start looking to other planets as well. Although I often ran quite a few simultaneous missions so already got probes heading out to most planets. At least tiny probes if nothing else, as once its small enough it doesn’t really need to be the most efficient launch window. Just burn an extra 2000dV of fuel which is only about 100kg? Sure, this rocket is so cheap it doesn’t really matter.

Something I liked in KSP was building based on moons, would love it if that is less janky and more useful.
