Being able to build vertically makes it a very different experience. Using a hyper tube chain to yeet yourself all the way across the map is chef's kiss.

The blueprints are helpful for mid to late game when you need to set up dozens of the same thing. It's not a perfect system, but can definitely be a time saver.

The combat is totally different. There's no raid/defense mechanism. The mobs have a fixed spawn point. They'll stop respawning once you start building around that point. Once you learn the appropriate attack/dodge maneuver for each type, they're barely even a nuisance to kill.

Because administrative penalties are a thing. Your right to a jury trial only applies to crimes, and not everything is a crime. SCOTUS effectively ruled that if something could be a crime, even if you're not being charged with a crime, the government can't issue a non-criminal fine for it instead.

4 is essentially paraphrasing Voltaire. Belief that offending someone is a violation of their rights leads to authoritarianism and censorship. 4 says you can be a dick; 1 says you really shouldn't be and 6 says you should apologize when you are.

My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they'd be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He's a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is "normal" in the US

I'm sure all those bones are legitimate salvage...

This is it. I have a ton from humble bundle and free keys. Very few I've paid for and never played.

The TI-89 was ~$100 when I bought one 20 years ago. Looked it up on Amazon and they're $100-$150 depending on the specific model. They haven't kept up with inflation at all, which means they've been getting cheaper this whole time...

If 77% of the market share is DVD, why would its top 20 breakdown be excluded?

Being alone is fine. Being sad about being alone is loneliness.
