    I'm 46, the tail end of Gen X. Generally I don't feel old, except when I sleep wrong and my shoulder is out of whack for 2 months straight. Send help.

    It's not really the case anymore (though it's still there) but the biggest draw for my city for a long time was a historical train.

    I haven't done it in many years but as a snack I used to eat saltine crackers topped with mayo. Cheaper and less hassle than butter and same effect. (fat and salt pair well)

    I can't even tell you how long I've wanted a game similar to Starfield. Something space, something RPG, something simulation but arcadey... The last game in a similar vein was Freelancer way back...

    I can't even tell you how long I've wanted a game similar to Starfield. Something space, something RPG, something simulation but arcadey... The last game in a similar vein was Freelancer way back in 2003. I have spent years looking for other games to scratch that itch. After watching the Starfield Direct stuff I'm too hyped to ignore it.

    Right now I'm currently playing the following:
    Freelancer HD - A mod for the original Freelancer that adds high resolution textures to everything, widescreen support, and quite a few QoL improvements while still being 100% compatible with OG Freelancer
    Endless Sky - Free open source 2D space sim where you can basically do anything you want
    Starsector - 2D space sim where you can basically do anything you want
