“Do you feel… in charge?”

Outer Worlds has no space-based content. Yes, you have a spaceship, but it’s essentially a fast-travel device. One of the locations is a space station, but it’s no different than a large building (e.g. it’s not shaped like a torus or anything interesting like that).

Outer Worlds is a really fun take on the Firefly space western concept, though, as long as you understand all of your activities will take place on worlds/moons with basically the same gravity & atmosphere.

Haberdashers rejoice!

RiffTrax Friends, The Gizmoplex, and Twitch Turbo give me everything I need.

Admittedly I was working from memory, I could swear that his piece had at least a short discussion of the low quality materials and workmanship of mobile homes.

Well, watch Last Week Tonight’s expose’ on the mobile home industry.

It was particularly strange because in the text they describe the tiny forests as “the size of a basketball court”, and I was like… why didn’t you put THAT in the subheading, it actually makes sense.

That sort of points to the nature of the problem, doesn’t it? The world relied on Musk’s sense of charity for MONTHS and did nothing to either pay for or substitute Starlink.

I mean, just saying it out loud, “Musk’s sense of charity”, should cause the kind of vomit into one’s own mouth that immediately merits attention and forces one ask, “What the hell did I swallow?”

Who is working to give Ukraine an alternative to Starlink? Anyone? If not, then yeah, they handed the reins over to Musk and didn’t do jack squat to fix it. That’s not Musk’s failure.
