    Isn't that one of the things they want to change with Hytale? Adding actual stuff to buy?

    I luckily had the base stations from an OG Vive so I only had to buy the hmd and controllers, so I did spare a bunch of money

    The index was at around €1000 when I got it, I think somewhere around that price is a realistic point, even with less parts and stuff like AA batteries instead of built in the controllers... Would be amazing to see a lower price, though!

    While I'm still coming to terms with things and discovering myself, I'm mostly an average cis male person.... And I've got a couple of nice gypsy skirts that I can't wait to wear, though (because Europe and self-confidence) it's probably only going to be at home and in a festival environment.

    But who knows what the future holds! It's exciting, and this thread has been full of interesting reading

    Unfortunately the horror mazes had massive queues and we didn't think to queue before opening, so we didn't get to go in any :(

    Minecraft. Whether vanilla or modded, on a server or single player depends on the mood, but there's something magical about the early hours of Minecraft that always has a great effect on my mood

    I'd like to add my voice to the no Incendium votes... I like the vanilla nether. It's considerably better than it was years ago. I don't have strong feelings on building on the roof, aside from it probably locking me out of several farms because I don't have the time to dig out or spawn proof areas of the nether.

    Rails and travel within the actual nether is the way to go, keep just farms on the top.

    November feels like a good time to me, but my gaming moods are volatile enough I might be stuck in a different game at the time. I'll happily join (being pinged again for the launch would be amazing, pls&ty) when it happens.

    Neat, but nobody is going to eat it. Great to have another plastic alternative, though!

    While that makes sense, I think the gaming industry does that, under the consultant label, and it was a much abused system. So my guess is that devs just don't apply to such jobs anymore, if they have a choice.

    But then you end up with stuff like this, which also isn't good, so I dunno. There definitely needs to be a better system for jobs like this, where you need temp workers that are also highly skilled and thus want a return on their education investment and stability

    It's definitely the sort of passed on word-of-mouth wisdom all over the place where tomatoes are grown. Maybe not the exact number of leaves, but my first time growing them on my balcony, a granny-aged neighbour was like "yo, you gotta destroy those plants if you want actual tomatoes"

    I REALLY dislike music websites with no volume slider. Very quickly closed the tab and will probably not visit again.

    I like eating meat, and I prefer it comes from well-treated animals!

    I try to buy organic when I can afford it, often when it's on some sale and I just freeze the stuff I don't use right away, I'd jump on lab grown if it was at similar or lower price points.

    I started the act 4 stuff this afternoon, it's neat stuff! Lots of new lore!

    Also had a chance to try the async trade, went and bought something... Then I looked at what other items that person had for sale, hehe. I really like it! I'm probably going to only really engage with it in endgame, since you need to be in the hideout to set the shop tabs up and I'm focusing on the story

    I also skipped 0.2 entirely after playing 300 hours straight after launch, needed a few months of break. I do intend to engage with the endgame, I really like the concept of clearing areas on the Atlas and removing corruption. We'll see how the new elements feel and play as I go along
