I believe one of the number one reasons for Hello Games doing No Man's Sky expeditions is, not only for us to have kick ass fun, but also to teach us stuff. And in this particular one it's showing how cool and awesome the Minotaur can be. I liked the Minotaur, but I wasn't wild about it. It didn't seem especially powerful. Boy, was I wrong! I just didn't realize you could ramp up the power with the Spacestation Exocraft shop modules. And that's what this expedition showed. Now I've gone back and gotten those modules (Minotaur Cannon Upgrades) for my other game saves. And. Having. So Much. Fun. with the Minotaur.
I think this is one of most important expeditions we've had. No, there's no cool spaceship bonus, but I think we've got plenty of those (my spaceship armada is FULL. I think they ought to increase the limit size). It's an important expedition because we get a MINOTAUR FLAMETHROWER! BUT it's only optional, which I think is really weird. You don't get it automatically at the end of the expedition, but you have to wait it out and get the parts one by one as the Community-wide Liquidation progresses.
With the flamethrower acquiring being optional it seems it'll be easy for a lot of people to miss out on getting one. Especially since you have to be around at each commuinity progression point and do your own part. For example, at Phase 2 I had to kill an additional twenty monsters to get my own personal count up to 100 to receive the bonus Liquidator Left Arm plans. I assume we'll keep having to do our own part for each additional Phase. I am really looking forward to getting that Flamethrower.
So after the expedition is completely over it feels like there's going to be some folk who don't get the flamethrower, and I think they're going to be pretty sad. I'm writing this to hopefully alleviate that pain for some people.
But I have questions. So far, the bonus Liquidator Left Arm plan has not gone into the Anomaly Quicksilver shop. Are our other gamesaves not going to get the flamethrower?! That would suck. I want all my characters to get to use a frickin' awesome flamethrower. I also note that I'm now seeing Flamethrower Addon Modules in the Spacestation Exocraft shop. I've acquired three in anticipation already :)
Am I missing anything? Does anyone want a Minotaur Flamethrower in their arsenal?
You think it'll destroy the bases? Has this happened before?
A cross-over between No Man's Sky and Light No Fire, where the expedition is on a single planet and at the end you get the starting date for LNF.
I'd like to see more different animals, but more biomes would be more than welcome. A mash-up of earth-like animals but more alien. Giraffes, elephants, giant ants, etc would be really cool.
Upvote for Overture, my favorite.
I'm a huge fan of Overture 3D matte PLA. It's inexpensive, and just prints really well with few problems.
Am I the only one using a spreadsheet to play this game? I don't think I could play without one. First column is the base name, then planet, system, and the resource I'm mining there. Also other info like good trading systems.
I decided there was a reason it's called a community expedition. And that's because somebody else figures out where the damn things are and then the rest of the community goes there to get the reward. That's what I wound up doing for like four of them.
Where to eat, shop, and play in this North County hood

Escondido deserves some love! The community is vibrant with so many things. I especially like the California Center for the Arts. Last year we saw the San Diego Symphony Orchestra play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony there. Unforgettable
Dripping coffee onto a metallic ball and getting a C&D notice via social media. Pretty entertaining.
It seems everyone has a different sitting preference at the movies. I want the ultimate experience: the screen completely filling my vision, like I'm in the movie. Usually the third or fourth row. My wife complains we're too close. Then I see people way in the back and it must be like watching TV the screen is so small. I don't understand that at all. So, Lemmy, where do you sit with your popcorn and why?
Bonus question: best movie food / candy, and how do you sneak it in?
Yeah, I'm not going to play hardcore because at some point I don't want to destroy my computer and monitors when I smash them.
I have to believe they'll put out a patch soon to make it fun again. Despite what everyone else seems to think I think overall it's a good fun game (or at least it was before 1.1.0).
I got in immediately at the start. Played for about four hours with very few problems. Enjoyed my time.
I like it. I would very much enjoy going there every morning to make my pot of coffee. Looks clean, efficient, and visually appealing.
I only used to use it several hours a day. But not once since the blackout.
The developer of Relay for Reddit is working on optimizing the API usage of the app. I'm not using it (still boycotting Reddit), but I see there are android updates every few days.
Wow, how did you find a three week old post? :)
I'm level 62 and I've still not found two waypoints. I did notice for at least a couple of waypoints that they're found through side quests. Anyone have any suggestions for which side quests to do and how / where to find them? How many waypoints has everyone else found?
I was going to say the same thing. I've always prided myself on being able to tell you the general direction anything was in, and could drive in a general direction (before Google Maps) and find my way. But I am complete crap at in-game directions even after really trying to get a feel for the surroundings.
I always thought Nvidia was the default choice, but maybe not for Linux?
I'm looking at the Lemmy instances webpage https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Why are so many instances closed for sign-ups? Doesn't seem like a good thing for the potential July 1st deluge of new users.
Now that the two day shutting down of many thousands of subreddits is over, what is happening now? How many are remaining closed? Are others just going back to normal? What is the prospects of any significant change happening now?
I've set my pihole to reject reddit.com and I'm committed to using Lemmy, but I do miss the old Reddit.

A planter I started two years ago with just some small $1 plants. I love that the cactus is just growing like crazy.

Cactus have the absolute best flowers. Especially the ones from your own patio. Fight me!
