I wish this patch had done more. I still have a lot of issues with the new base parts and textures. Maybe in 5.73. 🤞
Yeah. I wonder if that's in preparation for requiring you to eat.
It won't be long before we get a bacon cowboy.
Most of the features we've been getting, like fishing, are ported from Light No Fire. So it would make sense for this to be some sort of cooking update, like cooking meat from fish and fauna. I don't know how I would feel if they introduced a requirement to eat in NMS, but if they don't add some sort of requirement, it feels very unnecessary.
Maybe we will get cookable meat from fauna
I've play for MANY hours and only found one. I get the impression they're pretty rare.
New Update Announced
I assume it's Worlds Part 2 since Worlds Part 1 was released at the beginning of last year.
Is Trolling Getting Worse?
I've played every NMS expedition and while there have always been a problem Communication Stations, it wasn't until this latest expedition that I felt like trolling was getting worse.
On the first day of the expedition, I claimed a spot at the 2nd rendezvous system around some Runaway Mould, built a small base, and uploaded it. I slowly kept adding to the base over time, especially once I completed the expedition. So far I've had at least 8 different people build on top of it, which means I have to report their bases just so I can walk around my own. While I've had some people build close to my base, I have never had anyone literally build on the same spot, much less multiple people.
It stinks that Hello Games isn't doing a better job of making sure bases can't overlap, but it stinks even more that people take advantage of it.
Oh good... I felt bad that I couldn't move the dumpster for Brendan in my latest playthrough.

They say, "Patience is a virtue," but that doesn't make it fun.
I just finished reading the audiobook. Overall I really liked it, but that's partially colored by the fact that I'm a fan of the Cyberpunk universe.
A couple, non-spoiler comments regarding the book.
- It's not clear when this takes place in the timeline. It could be before, after, or during the Cyberpunk 2077 game. I'm not sure that it matters.
- The way the book jumps between characters can be confusing. Cherami Leigh does do voices for the different characters but they are not very distinct. When the perspective jumps to a new character, it can take a moment to realize it.
- Since there is no single protagonist, you don't really form a connection with any particular character. They each have their own reasons and motivations but none of them really stand out.
- There are references to some minor people and places in the game. While the fanservice is cool, it does make Night City feel a little small. What are the odds that the characters of the book are in the same places, talking to the same people as the game? Luckily it doesn't happen all the time.
- I think the connection to one or more storylines in the game is possible but tenuous. There are similarities but nothing direct.
Campaign Level Advice
I was looking to run a 5e campaign based around the movie The 13th Warrior. The movie, and therefore this part of the campaign, can be broken down into 3 sections:
- The adventurers are called to a remote town that has been under attack. Houses furthest from the town center have been attacked and the families savagely killed. There's talk of an old evil that comes out when there's fog. They investigate the site of the most recent attack and find clues that may support the rumors. The next foggy night, the adventurers lay a trap and fend off a small band of attackers.
- Once they recover from the attack, the adventurers are told to seek guidance from a nearby seer. The seer tells them to track the attackers back to their lair and kill their leaders, a "mother" and a "warlord." The adventurers find the lair in the nearby mountains, infiltrate, and kill the "mother." Unable to find the "warlord," they escape before they can be overrun and return to the village.
- With the "mother" dea
I always liked having karma around as a personal metric, but I never actually looked at anyone else's or went farming for it. So I think it should be added but not made a determining factor by default. If someone wants to look at someone else's karma as an evaluation, that's their choice.
Probably more important than Karma, Lemmy needs flair or tagging for posts to help with categorization and searching.
In addition to that, Lemmy (and Mastodon) eventually needs algorithmic choice. This is one place where the Fediverse falls short compared to BlueSky. A chronological feed of everything is a good place to start but let me decide what I want to view and how I want to view it. For example, if I am person that cares about karma, let me weight that so people with higher karma show up higher on my feed.
