It is if you really want to git gud.
But what it also is is the nicest open sea sailing simulator, with awesome ambience and a fantastic world to just sail around in and do some relaxing things like fishing and just exploring all the islands. Especially in Safer Seas mode.

Ah, yes, that’s what I meant with single player (or really single ship, since you can play with your friends) mode, couldn’t remember the name

Sea of Thieves is amazing and has some decent fishing. Might want to stay in the single player world if you just want cozy, although a sense of (PvP) danger can definitely liven things up too.

Haven’t heard of it before, but it does look interesting
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 2 weeks ago:
Ah, that sounds better. My tumor was found when I was 30 and initially caused me lots of IBD problems, and then proceeded to blood in my stool. Butt probe then confirmed it even though my doctor was expecting something else because I was so young. A test like that might not have helped much in my case but I wasn’t the most average case anyway.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 2 weeks ago:
Is that a blood test? Those aren’t always effective. I kept testing negative even when I had a massive tumor in my bowels. The only thing that really works is going in there and taking a look, i.e. a colonoscopy.

This looks a lot better than I expected it to be. Sanctuary Moon alone might make it worth it.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it was, and the first episode hits quite hard on the heels of covid. I’m sure not everyone was ready for something that apocalyptic, but still.

Station Eleven
It’s absolutely criminal how little attention HBO gave this show. It wasn’t even brought to Europe, so you can’t watch it legally over here. But IMHO it’s one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and it’s a complete story so no cliffhangers. It’s also one of the rare cases of a show being better than the book it was based on, and the book was already a bestseller.

4 looks like a wild ride

If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.eu It’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.

Dunno when you played it but they’ve added tons of shit in the past years, so it might be worth it to give it another chance.

You realize that the plane pictured, an SR-71, possibly the coolest plane ever made, has been phased out many years ago? Another sign the USA isn’t what it used to be! /s
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 2 months ago:
4 is the best “old” civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 2 months ago:
Good to hear how it compares, I was curious about that but reviewers aren’t talking about it.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 2 months ago:
They stole that and some other mechanics from Humankind, a game by the same studio as Endless Legend. It wasn’t received that well in Humankind either, so I’m kinda surprised that they stole it anyway, but I guess line must go up and they didn’t have a lot of inspiration themselves?
- Comment on Google's slow Chrome Extension reforms anger developers • The Register 2 months ago:
This simply isn’t true. FF on Android is fine and allows you to use tons of extensions for far more things than ad blocking, such as the wonderful Consent-O-Matic that automatically deals with cookie popups for you. Huge timesaver on mobile.

Fully agree!

None of them have anything to do with feminism though, except maybe #2.
- Comment on Thoughts on Space Games, Part 1: Top-5 AAA Games 10 months ago:
The EVE Online of today has very little to do with the game that came out 21 years ago. It’s been kept up to date very well, the graphics are really nice and the game has been made a lot better for new players. A new expansion just dropped so now it’s actually a pretty good time to try it out.
As for mining in peace: that’s totally doable if you know what you’re doing. The best advice would be to join a mining/building corporation as soon as possible and have them show you the ropes. The element of risk never goes completely away, and you should always be prepared to lose the ship you are flying, but the risks are very manageable, to the point where you should almost never lose a ship unless you’re actively taking more risk.

Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he’s using! 😂
- Comment on New solid state battery charges in minutes, lasts for thousands of cycles 1 year ago:
That’s not true, “regular” Li-ion batteries have become tremendously cheaper and have increased their capacity by a lot in the past decade. The next jump in their capacity is about 50% more again, and it’s already being previewed by the big battery manufacturers.
- Comment on The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer 1 year ago:
There are more errors. Eve Online is 20 years old, not 18. He even lists 2003 as the release year. And Palia has been playable for a couple of months now, so it could have included far more information than that.
- Comment on MMO mouse recommendations? 1 year ago:
Take a look at the Azeron Cyro. It combines a high quality mouse, a ton of programmable buttons and a thumbstick, so it has everything you need for one-handed gaming in the vast majority of games. Might not be what you’re looking for, but it’s good to know that there are possibilities that you probably haven’t considered yet.
