Reddit users lost?

No real way to tell, but I don't think it would be immediately noticeable on Reddit. Like the satisfying "we killed reddit" probably isn't going to happen. On the other hand, being here clearly have discoverd the Fediverse as replacement, so IMO it doesn't matter what happens to Reddit now. (Not to say the drama/any issues Reddit ends up with won't be endlessly entertaining)

Dragon's Dogma 2 launches to "Mostly Negative" review bombing after microtransactions reveal, and man, what a bummer

They almost got me with preorder last night, but I was like nah I'll just wait and see in the morning. I love how i've been reading for weeks that "it's good they made fast travel hard", like preparing us for a fast travel MTX. Or it's the greatest character creator of all time, but to edit after you have to spend more money - the game is basically $100 canadian. Absurd.

Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

I've been enjoying Starfield - but the empty planets suck, especially without vehicles. The scanning thing is boring and dumb, worse than trying to get 100% on a NMS world. It's a shame that fast travel disconnects you from the space feel of the game, but it makes the rest of the game playable. I like the game overall, but they have definitely dropped the ball on space travel. In theory it'd be cool to come across different "dungeons" etc, as in Skyrim when wandering around, but doesn't happen in Starfield because you're generally not going to happen upon them. It's not interesting to drop down to random planets.

Starfield QOL + more Wishlist

Main issues I have after 120+ hours: Badly needed:

  • character stats screen, especially the bonuses we've collected for magazines - like they could be doing nothing and we'd never know lol, do they stack over multiple NG+?
  • some way to manage what materials we are tracking - it's absurd right now like do I need Titanium still? Do I need 1 or 10? Have no way of knowing (might have to start using notepad or something) Bonus points for including the item and upgrade that I want to craft

Nice to have:

  • a list of fast travel points would be nice
  • catalogue of visited systems and what resources are there (even if it's only for surveyed resources)
