  • If you look at the food selections in starfield it follows what astronauts currently eat//projected to eat in theory for deep space travel. The reason chunks is so popular is not just because it’s everywhere but you can take it on your ship as rations. Food in 0g environments must be very compact and produce as little crumb like issues as possible to keep the food from getting into your space craft machinery. Be a real shame if your life support system shorted out because a drop of liquid got in it or your engines shorted out cause a chunk of apple got in it. Same with the bugs, I read a report that they could use certain bugs like worms as a protein replacement due to the science required to break the atmosphere. Because every single unit of weight must be calculated for fuel consumption entering and exiting atmospheres(a problem we don’t really have on our player ships due to instant refilling he-3 gas tanks.

    Now for why it’s still popular after grav drives produce artificial gravity, I have to say it’s probably because people got so use to eating it on ships in the 300 years since Earths Demise and everyone bailing. Plus for in the rare instances your ship malfunctions from getting shot.


  • As much fun as I’m having with starfield(150 hours since September 1st, because yes I pre-ordered but it was also the first time I’d pre ordered a game in a very very long time ) that was my take on a lot of its issues. I won’t say they did no QA playthrough but it certainly feels like they didn’t do enough and that was after delaying the game even for like an additional 2 years. Supposedly they were all set to launch the game in late 2021 but Phil Spencer paid them to work on bug fixes for longer. Then nonsensical design choices like not having med pack counters where your grenade counter is or a “current equiped power” info area above your current equiped weapon info area on the HUD in 2021 or 2023 is laughably unthinkable. But the meat of the game has been worth the questionable sourced veggie “bugs” on the burger as a whole imo.


  • Yes HDD are disc based tech, yet I’ve never heard them refered to as just a disc drive without the hard despite having a platter disc in them. While not being the end all be all, wikipedia has disk or disc drives listed as referring to purely optical media.

    And I use them to access a plethora of media from old back ups/family pictures, DVDs/Blu-ray, backing up said DVD/Blu-ray to Plex if I like them that much I want them digitally, old games(my oldest still useable disc is my 1998 minted “GOTY” Diablo 1.) Also just never hurts to have the ability to burn a CD or DVD either, though mainly still get the use out of CD burning for cars without an aux.

    I mean it doesn’t have a disc drive and the base OS is Linux, so if the game you want to play doesn’t work on Linux it won’t work on the Linux version of Steam Deck, if that is what you’re asking. If you know how to make isos and move them over if the game requires, you can install windows on the steam deck and basically run anything that the steam deck can handle hardware wise whether its on steam or not. Ive seen people who installed windows on it or also kept the original Linux Steam OS play many non-steam games. Some of these other devices were built with Windows though from the ground up though if you don’t want to reinstall anything or deal with drivers, I personally plan on getting a Steam Deck here in a few months next Christmas then replacing Linux with Windows so i know for sure my software will work as sacrilegious as it is.




  • Same I went to sleep in my captains bed, Sam and Sarah at different times where using it which meant I had to go sleep in the peasant quarters. I’ve also seen all of them sitting at a table presumably “eating” by themselves or in pairs since there was food on the table. 1 time Ioaded into my ship to see everyone in the mess hall staring at me children of the corn style, thought there was about to be a mutiny. Lastly I periodically see them at select work stations. One of Barrett’s fav spots was in my workshop fiddling with the research console. I’ve also seen Sarah “interact” with the weapons table or seen any I’ve assigned as crew sit down at crew stations/consoles around my ship
