There's also the general fact that, well, for a science job you're usually doing precious little science (or even pharmacology, since you have no say in dosage and often none in delivery) and are a glorified cashier if you don't have your own practice. Ideally Pharmacists would work closely with doctors to make sure a patient gets individualised versions of the right drug in the right form as quickly and easily a possible.

Not a lot tbh.

Ksp2's colony update. Tribes 3.

Oh Regency Solitaire 2. Don't laugh the series is surprisingly good.

Also early days but word on the street is The Longest Journey Home may have been greenlit.

They weren't particularly effective and they didn't get anywhere near enough support, but they were enthusiastic and the Kru People were also major participants, as were many released or escaped slaves. It just makes me feel good, thinking about Master and Commander, but they're hunting down slavers and not French Revolutionaries.

I see, so it's the mass of a stock military Hummer with an order of magnitude more power to weight ratio. I cannot wait to see the first police chase in the US involving one.

You know the line by Marvin in Hitchhikers?

"The first hundred million years was the worst. The second hundred million years was the worst too. The third hundred million years was just awful. After that I went into a bit of a decline."

2023 feels like the decline, but in a good way. It feels like capitalism is finally mercifully broken beyond repair and everyone knows it.

The Longest Journey no the inflatable duck puzzle is a feature.

As a Morrowind lover who didn't like Fallout 4...this feels a lot like Fallout 4. The universe seems dead, the loading screens and third person transitions make it feel small.

The lore is occasionally interesting so far but I actively hate all the factions while Morrowind even evil factions like the Morag Tong had fascinating justifications. The main quest is showing some interesting stuff but the side content Is. So. Bland.

Yeah. BG3 was better but not by much. (Why can't I wear the pointy sleeved medieval dress the pregant lady in the hag den has?! No it isn't practical, but I'm a bard so that ship has sailed. I want to ride sidesaddle on a white horse playing the Ballad of Enemy Explodes while my companions roll their eyes at me!)

I don't think it's the fault of feminism more than a lot of male designers having no clue about what femininity in design even is beyond "makes me horny".

Starfield though seems to really commit to the "no pretty things ever" bit. Do they not realise that if ordinary people go to space there will be lace on spacesuits before the week is out?

Tribes 2. Don't get me wrong. It's a great game, amazing even. But Tribes was a more focused experience.

Why when you can have them port entire container ships like Viking Longboats.
