Sci fi writer Robert Heinlein was a nudist for a while. It’s funny bc every once in the while in his stories he’ll suddenly mention that everyone’s naked.
must be a warm planet because that thang is swangin
Actually it’s a cold climate, in temperate ones it touches the ground.
Reminds me of No Man’s Sky. Anyone played/plays that here? I’ve had it in my wishlist for a long while now, but it doesn’t seem to go as low as I would like. Is it still worth buying at half price after all these years? For reference, I pretty much never buy games unless it is at least 75% off
I got 150 hours out of it. That seems to be the sweet spot for a solo run before it becomes too repetitive. But of course there are also a few with thousands of hours. And if you play with friends you can get way more out of it i think. Imho it is definitive worth it.
I’d say absolutely buy it if you measure by the metric of how many hours you are likely to get out of your investment. It has improved immensely since launch. Many of the current complaints are valid, but none of them substantially diminished my own enjoyment of the game.
I’ve always hated that trope of a breathable atmosphere and people remove their helmets.
“This planet is capable of supporting life forms like me!”
“This planet is also capable of supporting fun new microbes that I have no immunities against!”
Good thing our immune system is programmed to attack anything unknown on sight, extraterrestrial microbes would have a hard time as they wouldn’t have the adaptations to deal with it.
You hope.
The thing about aliens is that they are alien. You don’t know what they can do.
That sword swings both ways my guy.
Immune system functions aren’t unique to humans, mammals, or even animals. As it happens the human immune system isn’t as robust as most other animals’.
Bypassing immune responses is also a pretty typical capability for most microbes. We have to regularly inoculate ourselves against stuff we’ve been dealing with since the beginning of time. And when a new one shows up… Well it’s not like that ever happened right?
That may be so, but then you things like hayfever where the immune system overreacts to the dumbest shit every year for days on end. I could totally see some innocent extraterrestrial microbe sending the immune system into a self destructive meltdown, or straight up anaphylaxis.
