I kind of wish I took a different path, as one ED producer went to the same college as me a few years after me. I wonder how history would have changed if I was him after all this time?

Can Sam change history and make all our dreams come true?

You know, when you think about it. All of this could still happen.

Remember back before ED was even announced as a kickstarter? I remember decades, literally, of me hunting high and low for a game, any game, that would offer me something approaching what the original gave me when I was knee high to a grasshopper, and I'd pretty much given up hope.

Then David made his announcement and I jumped at it like a starving shark in a pool full of seals and, lo and behold, something that even I'd finally started to find my peace with probably not happening came to be. And here I am, G-d only knows how many hours of enjoyment, frustration, learning, more enjoyment, getting to know people I'd have never met if it hadn't been for this game, enough funny stories to fill the Library of Congress all over again.

Frustrated again, to be sure, but still.

It truly ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.

Am I right?

That's the real horror show: Brave New World, Big Brother watching you. All are happy, clean and obedient. It's 3300. Cheers!

Trouble is it has no personality, and since ED is a visual game it has to communicate via visual means. If the BGS was fully represented (and that mega clean and happy = civil liberty and lockdown was armed guards, red alert sirens etc) then great, but everything is Bristol Airport.

On another note: Today I am playing Odyssey and I feel happy. Coincidence?

The trouble with that though, is it just looks 'meh' level deprivation, in an area that is essentially empty. This should be upstairs, and / or look like the art FD did six years ago I use all the time- this background for example I used for a meme is FD concepts- why did they ignore it? Where is the graffiti? As states change decals of scrawl could change- they could use ship decals and make people want them :D

Actually, an Observer type reality fits right in with the Bladerunner feel you guys are talking about - and agree, I think it would benefit from having "nice" ports that are squeaky clean as well as proper dishevelled dives like Bladerunner/Observer type dystopia

Damn, I just bought Red Dead Redemtion 2 to bridge the gap until they (maybe) fix Odyssey. I was a little curious about the Dredger ship in Pegasi Sector and had a quick look then I realized that they just placed the standard Dredger ship there and nothing more, I got bored after 15 minutes and parked my ship at Kumo city and quit the game.
Now I will have some cake and coffee in the garden, its hot outside

Had to up my rep with a certain faction since our relationship was getting to the point where ops were getting unnecessarily troublesome. And even though I cashed in the bounties at an IF where they had no presence, I still felt dirty.

Nothing that a good bleach shower won't wash out, though. I hope. ;)
