You're descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.

"Yoked to the max"

(Or just "yoked")

That sour electric aroma you can smell is the collective anxiety-stench of games journalists trying to decide whether it's worth sitting through the full investor presentation in the hopes of discovering some proper context for these pitiful morsels - perhaps even a unique angle which none of those other hacks have discovered, the feckless layabouts.

So he's taking his frustrations out on the reader by padding his article with sympathy-bait? I've come to really dislike Rock Paper Shotgun articles lately

You have the option to buy most ships with real money, but the general cycle is about 6 months after release into the persistent universe the ships are purchasable with in-game money. The only reason to spend real money on SC is if you can't wait those 6 months, want to support development, or don't want to bother with in-game money for whatever reason. There are some exception ships though.

As for the detail, there are big differences between SC and ED. For one, SC ships have completely modeled interiors since the intended gameplay is for you to manually board your ship from outside. ED has no ship interiors as far as I know, just cockpits and exteriors, no matter how big the ship is. SC also has more ships than ED even excluding all the SC ship variants, ground vehicles, and ships that don't do Quantum jumps, the frame shift equivalent of ED.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're suggesting. Are you saying encryption keys should themselves be encrypted?

FYI this story isn't about plaintext passwords, it's about plaintext encryption keys to chat history.

Alpha and beta aren't really the same though. Alpha is meant to be unstable and feature incomplete while beta is supposed to be simply missing polish. For Alpha reviews to have real value they need to provide that context. Otherwise, it's just an exercise for the reviewer

Not all equations have a solution right away. PEMDAS, or BEDMAS as I was taught, helps you navigate these novel equations. It's a natural way to think when exploring problems outside of a textbook.

Thanks for the tip, will definitely be trying this, especially the middle mouse click lol

Hell yea, the porcelain rodeo is the part I look forward to

I always found "slow" travel in Bethesda games very dull including in Starfield, at least when the game lets you slow travel. In contrast, travel in Star Citizen is very "slow", but I never get tired of it because it's so perfectly designed for space sim lovers. There's so much detail in the ships I never get bored just looking around, there's always something to adjust among ship systems, and if you're in a multi-minute qt jump you can literally just get up from the pilot seat and go somewhere else in your ship to do something other than wait.

Denying references to other places that directly compete with you seems pretty reasonable to me. You don't see toaster boxes at Walmart saying it's also available at Target or whatever

The article says the private sector is building less because of higher interest rates. They ARE purposely limiting the money they can make because the risk of that interest is a potentially greater loss.
