I switched from playing on my 1440p monitor to my 4k TV the other day and all my old screenshots have a black box round them whe they come up in the menus now. I'm wondering if, when I switch back, my 4k shots will all be zoomed in...

But manual space travel would be even slower and honestly I think it would get old very quickly. I do understand the frustration, and if you were expecting it to work like NMS or Elite then yeah it's going to be disappointing. But for me, that's not the point of the game. I've had a ton of fun exploring randomly around, just jumping system to system and checking out random planets. The only part of space flight I'm actually that bothered about doing 'realistically' is ship to ship combat, and that works great, especially once you unlock the thrusters. If you manage to take out their engines by focusing fire you can disable them and board the ship, and take it as your own. Also the sidequests are great, I think the writing has improved from previous games. They often go in unexpected directions.

I've enjoyed seeing the initial backlash fade and turn around. I'm seeing a lot of posts on the subreddit saying stuff like "I initially made a bug complaint post but now I'm a few hours in and I was wrong, this game is amazing"

If you're not enjoying the first few hours I implore you to stick with it a little longer.

Wait what why would unsweetened black iced tea be bad for kidney stones??

Yeah, I read about them using the girls as bait

Hey the thread isn't for really dumb stuff, just pretty dumb stuff.

I think the new twitter logo cones from the font you used for your username. Just being silly

Some slang from York, UK that was common in my childhood:

Pushknacker - a bicycle, particularly a street bike. Best one on this list, tbh, it's a great word.

Lagin - pronounced la-jin. Means rubbish. Like, "your pushknacker is lagin!"

Weeny - really, as in "that's weeny lagin"

Chava - pronounced char-va, a derogatory term, to be honest I never had any idea what the actual meaning was but it's an insult, as in "ya fuckin chava!". I was confused when the word "chav" suddenly became a thing years later and I've always wondered if they are related or if it's a coincidence.

Ding - what people would now call a chav, also used ad a general insult.

Dingraff - either the full for of ding, or an extension of it, no idea. General insult.

Can we have some details from the 1st one please?

I'd say those things are more prevalent in many developing nations.

Nice, thanks bro, I've been dating a Japanese chick. Gonna use this!

clutches pearls This actor?? Ziggurat, that is a Pedro Pascal!

P.s. is it ziggurat as in, 'up the ziggurat lickedy-split'? Should I wave my hand around a certain number of times depending in the situation before saluting?
