While walking around this town, most of the places the tourist go are along one central corridor which is also the primary highway through town. It seems obvious to reroute the highway away from the core, and then the main corridor would be perfect for a tram or frequent bus with bike lanes. People could freely walk side to side, and from the bottom of the hill to the top. It would boost commerce, it would enable people to get around better...

But I suppose people might have to consider not driving to their destination.

I was just in your town too! Still very car centric, but the bus network is nice and plenty of bike lanes! Would like to see less cars in the downtown core but compared to Sedona...

H! Didn't even notice that! So unused to pedestrians that they don't know how to spell it.

I'm definitely against this, but this YouTube puts a very bias spin on most things. Any other sources?

Completely agree with all points. It's my favorite gaming franchise and you're exactly right. The point of the different endings was that it was the end. The galaxy moving forward is what you decided it would be.

As for Andromeda, it's worth a play sometime. It got a lot more hate than it deserved. It's not amazing, it's not trilogy level, but it was a fun romp and a decent way to kill some time. Just go in with those expectations. They didn't disrespect the cannon or betray anything, it just didn't have that spark of the trilogy.

You can tell they were so far up their own asses by not being able to forsee that. Any gamer would have told you "fine announce the mobile game. But you better be fucking ready to also announce the next actual installment too"

Its why they're so afraid of ES6. They know they can't do it. What I don't know is does that make them better or worse than the studios who are trying to bring back old franchises

Replaing the trilogy for probably the ninth time, and it confirmed to me that there is no way a new installment can ever live up to the lightning in a bottle that the trilogy had.

Ever since Halo 2 dropped my best friend and I have co-opped each one in one sitting. Infinite is the first time in 2 decades that we couldn't get through an installment. Open world was fun but empty, and they tried to have it cover for a plot. The entire 4-5-6 "trilogy" is more disjointed than the star wars sequels. Story was not compelling, no emotional pulls. Halo was legit top tier sci fi and infinite felt like it was written by a committee ina meeting room. Just sad.

There are no requirements under SKG to force them to run games forever just FYI. Their wording is soft on purpose. It could mean running a server still sure, or releasing a dedicated server client, or even releasing the source code so independent developers and open source folks can figure out how to run them themselves.

Cloud gaming. You own nothing and it can and will be taken away from you.

Stereotypes right? More fun to laugh at a stereotype than look at actual issues.

Same as title, looking for the essential hi-vis gear. I don't plan on riding at night but sometimes you're out a bit too late.

If you want to try it 1.2 on Experimental

Note that Experimental means NOT STABLE, expect bugs and issues. If you don't like that, stay on the standard stable branch.

Before Switching, BACK UP YOUR SAVES. Saves are incompatible with previous versions so you will not be able to go back, and additionally as with any unstable product it can corrupt your saves.

New Features in 1.2 (Spoilers for Video)

  • Farm Toilets - Spawnable toilets which act as respawn points!
  • Vehicle pathing - Vehicles can now be pathed similar to how trains have tracks, using splines Fluid Trucks & Stations
  • WEATHER - Rain, Window, and Strong Winds! Weather was previously removed due to engine issues, but it's back!
  • NODE RANDOMIZATION - New game modes featuring randomization of name nodes, changing required amounts for space elevators, etc.
  • Daisy Chaining power from one factory to the next
  • Zoop Signs
  • New photo mode features including Selfie mode

I was annoyed enough to write all of this up. I used to go regularly, and the rewards program was genuinely a good deal, and made it worth going to Starbucks. Now, even if I set aside all of the horrible things they're doing, I wanted to show just what an absolute shit program this is, and why there is absolutely no use in trying to "gain starbucks status".
