  • I can't believe how little this article says about the game itself. It's basically the author taking a victory lap for being the game's #1 fan since launch. If I didn't already know what the game looked like, I would leave still not knowing.

  • One of the most interesting talks on the math behind procedural generation:

    That presentation was foundational for me personally wrt quite a few things.

  • I was so pissed off by the lies around the launch of this game and subsequently being refused a refund that I never went back to it.

  • Does anyone know what the roughly square-aspect monitor in the middle of his 3-monitor setup is? Looks interesting but I can't zoom in far enough to see a logo, and the Upgrading the Gaming PC[0] post. Thanks

  • I actually really enjoyed the game on day 1!

    Unfortunately, even with all the updates - they never fixed my main gripe - each planet is just lifeless, and it's basically the same few square kilometres copy and pasted over the whole planet (I'm about 120h played).

    I wished they somehow made it more exciting to explore.

  • The scary thing about this article is how quickly ten years can pass—especially if you are in a video game world for many of those ten years.

  • Such a frustrating game. Feels so big but it’s so insanely shallow. Mechanics abound, but they just don’t interact.
