Falcon on Gameranx has two or three vids on this over time. One specifically compares how it launched to how it is now after many patches and updates.

TLDR: He still feels it’s a mile wide and an inch deep, and not really his bag, but he lauds the devs for incorporating real feedback into patches. He was impressed by how fast and how many fixes etc. they’ve implemented since launch. I haven’t played it and am waiting for a sale, but I think his comments give it a fair shake.

Yo, Bill Hammeck rocks, I actually got his book. A little dryer than the vids but still digging it so far.

And the Octopus Lady (Alien Oceans) is so entertaining she conquered my fear of weird insectoid marine life.

I assumed for a sec it was this:

But I take it from the pic it’s actually like doctor training?

“It’ll be safe in here!” (points to tummy).

Wait wait wait, I know he’s a cyborg-ninja* and all, but do his ninja feet have high heels?

*Which happens kind of a lot in that world.

If you’re a bad enough dude, a whole rotisserie chicken is only one heart.

I thought he went to Mexico or Central America, and died during the operation to remove a rib so he could suck his own dick? 🤔

Luna is wearing a shirt with her brother on it and feeling pretty indignant about the experience.

I kind of feel bad for the cayman. You can almost see him shouting “I don’t know anything, I swear!” As he’s being carried off to a secondary location.

Pointless if their heads don’t pop straight up and make a “ziiiiiiing” sound.

There are a lot of talk therapists with a sliding scale. Just saying.

And also with you, my brother in creaminess…🙏

I was gonna say, this is genuinely sweet.

Thanks! But…now I’m unsettled.🫤

How does one represent cardinal direction on this? Every direction is north. 🤔

Adorable. But if I turn him right side up, he looks like a he’s gonna flash people in the park.

It really took me a while to visually parse this image.

Not geneticist, but this appears to be a metaphor for “punnet squares”. These are the box diagrams that purport to show the percentages of different genetic traits based on mixes of dominant and recessive genes.

Again, not a scientist, but this is the stuff we learned in the 80s in science class, before the human genome project was even undertaken. The reality now, I’m fairly certain, is that even something as simple as eye color actually has a lot more complexity behind it than these simple boxes. And the expression of genes and the proteins they code for depend on the interaction of a lot of processes, many of which we don’t have a complete picture of yet.

I’m impressed by the quality of the outfit. You think Daft Punk introduced him to their guy?

I cannot imagine the panic this will induce the morning after an evening filled with unhealthy choices.
