You can craft stuff, upgrade weapons and space suits. Lots of things are just crap to sell, and here’s a thing I enjoy doing: I find a mission asking me to kill a pirate in a ship somewhere, go there, “convince” them to let me in their ship, then I “negotiate” a transfer of ownership. I land somewhere I can buy and sell ships, sell my new acquisition. ALL THE CRAP it had gets moved into my ship. I go sell dozens of note pads, singular playing cards, half eaten sandwiches and so on, all nearly worthless stuff but it adds up lol

Are you sure about that?

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Yep. The os isn’t tiny, plus there’s all sorts of extra stuff. For example 1gb is gone on every Deck because that’s reserved for swap… and then shader cache sneaks in and depending on the game you might run out of space in no time.

I have about 128 hours into Starfield, annnnd… you know how they give you a tutorial that’s on rail for the most part, then tell you “go there to do very important thing” and you see a squirrel, chase it, and suddenly you exposed corruption at the highest levels, found out where certain aliens come from, destroyed an entire faction, became a celebrity in a deadly game and people all over love you for the incredible acts of bravery? Then you decide to go where they told you and find out that no, the tutorial wasn’t over yet? That’s me. 128 hours of fucking with pirates, looting everything, helping everyone with the most weird requests and overall having a blast.

That said if you want Fallout in space uh, probably wait for a big sale. Also while it works fine on the Deck (much to my surprise) I didn’t play more than a few hours that way. It’s very cpu intensive.

Select is the one exclusive for Amazon, my understanding is that it’s meant to help with counterfeit ones, as only Amazon has them. Very good cards either way.

Not sure how it compares price wise right now, but look at the Amazon basics ones too: they’re made by the same company that bought Lexar and makes the emmc inside the 64gb Deck. Mine has been going strong for about a year now. Speed wise they’re essentially the same: the standard used in the Deck tops out at 104 megabytes per second, so any claims of extra speed are just marketing.

Busting makes me feel good!

I hate this, it’s fun but I can’t share it with anyone because it requires knowledge of that episode

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

This is quite impressive. Not sure if you have any experience with this sort of stuff, but not only the hand has 5 fingers, but the badge is essentially perfect!

Had almost the same idea, was too lazy to do it…

Ever played Eve Online? The “Noob ship” you get free when yours goes boom is bigger than a fighter jet, the battleships (fairly big) are about 500 meters and the capital monstrosity stuff gets to a plainly overkill 17 kilometers. And in all of this? It’s hard to figure out the small ships actually need a crew and aren’t just the pilot inside

Kiss my shiny laminated ass!

How is nobody doing 2+2 and figuring out we’re the “mirror universe”? At best.
