    I remember grooveshark before it was a store and I think it was just uploaded music from users. It was great.

    The demo was a great indicator of the games true intention. It's 100% a resource management game with a skin of a trucking game. Very cute for that, but won't ever be a space long haul shipping sim, that's not their goal. I'm having fun though because I knew that's what it was coming into it. From my 10.5 hours so far I found it slightly annoying how low the hauling job payouts are. I made more money coming across some junk floating in space and trading station to station.

    They claim to be addressing key binds first thing now that it has released. They didn't have an fov slider in the demo and got that in for release, so I believe they'll get key binds.

    I am scared that they probably won't add lateral movement. It's severely lacking strafing in the 4 udlr directions. What's worse is that the driver assist that you can enable and disable clearly has lateral movement capabilities. I fear that they won't add it because they're crippling their game for consoles :/

    I have a CS degree and I haven't looked into it because it feels unnecessary to me. Would take the fun part of the game out.

    Never played all too much of shapez 1 unfortunately. Played some when it came out but didn't get too far. I don't think anything is all too complicated. The only time it feels like it gets complicated is when I try to put too much stuff on one platform and I try to optimize, but there's no harm in just using more platforms and spreading stuff out so you can see.

    I don't take a lot of pictures with my phone but when I do something along those lines I try to remember to take a picture, that way I have record that I did a thing. Like a scrapbook but even easier. You could even make accomplishment pictures their own folder if you needed them to not get scrambled amongst normal pics.

    Idk what Home Depot's website is made on but boy, I tried to go to it on my phone the other day and I might as well have just gone to the store instead. It had to refresh like 4 different times searching for something and god forbid if you click on the wrong thing while the whole page is jumping around loading.
