Don't get me started on that!!! If I wanted my steak served on a posh brick I'd be cooking on an open fire in the woods... If I'm in a restaurant, I would like a traditional plate, thank you very much... 😏

A ROUND one? How quaint .. (lol)

I get good frames in EDO. Wouldn't have said before I was looking forward to FPS especially but, once I got my head around surviving first, then fighting back I'm finding it good fun. I like the sweary NPC's and the Judge Dredd guards. Thievery and sabotage is my favorite game in town but I'm also in the outback at the moment, logging bacterial colonies. Mostly to annoy @Darth Ender, I'm happy to enjoy myself much more than he thinks I should be allowed to.

If you end up in Colonia at some point, drop by to say 'hello' - bring some hand guns... ;)

Yeah we just left there .. and will be back.
Carrier is parked / dumped in AGNAIRT TA-U D4-3492. (Only 2.5kLy away).

Oops, got to go. Bacterium Omentum (nitrogen respiration off geothermal) reported!
Will let everyone know if see any telly tubbies but this is Elite, so I doubt it unless we decide to break out the Bootleg Liquor.

To be honest, I find it visually offensive, but at the same time, to each their own.

I don't see NMS as a space game, it's an artsy survival game with a space-y flavour.

it is what you make out of it - there are 5 game modes - just survival (inventory loss on death, eventually ship crashing into a planet) and permadeath (game over, if you die) are actually hardcore. Normal mode is pretty chilled, has plenty of resources on planets, larger inventory space, fair market prices and stack sizes up to 9999 units - the hardcore variants have much less inventory space, resources are not that plenty, stack size is limited to 250 units, market prices are not in your favor, fauna and flora more aggressive and you are not as free in harvesting resources, because those guarding drones are much more in your face than in normal mode. The other 2 modes are more to play around with it, one even without any hostiles at all.

Not NASA, but astronomy is, it is looking at things in the sky and then do math to it

That's not what I call a "game". Everything involving maths is torture for me.

No, astronomy is looking to the sky and ensuring the Hellstar Remina is not coming.

According to the very credible source of "internet", it's Nibiru. Or aliens. Or the hole in the pole.
Anyway, apocalypse is bound to come at one point, so one of them will be right, I guess.

You see there's 'maths' and then there's Rachel Riley's vital statistics! ;)
Carol V .. none too shabby either.

I do quite like Orion though - I was very excited when I first visited Betelgeuse which I think is a fascinating star, and there was something quite special about flying past it... one of the many great moments in ED.
A massive advantage of playing in VR is the sense of scale you get compared to flat screen - the first time I saw a neutron star in VR compared to playing on screen was like whooooaaaaa!!!
