Always appreciate some Dosh.

the design is very human

I rather liked the first Everspace but the second was a slog for me. To put it briefly, it seemed to missing the best parts of the first.

The story was kind of dull, not that the firsts was very substantial but to me the story in 1 was moreso the emergent events & situations that would happen along the way.

It might be that I’m just getting burnt out on RPGs but having to keep replacing gear for marginal stat boosts with few interesting differences got old quick. That and enemy levels were all over the place (the first time I had to fight an Okkar Corvette I melted it in roughly 2 seconds without doing anything special). The different ship classes & their unique abilities were pretty neat though.

I mean… just yesterday I slow cooked something for 8 hours and ate in 30 minutes with some left over. That doesn’t mean I have to treat it all as “cooking time”.

If I am cooking something more labor intensive then I may just simultaneously cook something else for the week/meal prep/clean used dishes in the gaps in time.

Still It does feel like that sometimes. The only other thing you can really do is cook enough portions for a few meals so that you can reheat for later meals.

I feel like this is more true the better a given thing is. The better the original, the slimmer the chance there is that the remake will top it.

It’s hard for me to describe what’s so striking about this. The buildings are very simple and are similarly colored, but are diverse in form. On the other hand the trees and clouds are much more detailed but are oddly homogeneous. The perspective almost seems as though it’s folding. Neat.
