Go ahead. You're the player, after all. I'm mostly keeping my hands off

This /r/starbound post has some new screenshots. Also a ketchup robot.

And the quality of the game is starting to become even more apparent.

Some of my highest playtimes:

Borderlands - 185 hours
Garry's Mod - 136 hours
Left 4 Dead - 148 hours
Left 4 Dead 2 - 113 hours
Mass Effect 2 - 158 hours

Not as much as some people, so that makes me feel better <_<;
However, the fact that I have a lot of games off Steam means I still probably have a lot of hours un-recorded.

Mods? Or newest version?

When you eventually bite the dust, does the dust get hurt?

Of course not, dust lacks the required nerve endings to feel any sensation, including pain.

But what I don't get is that one of the main things they are speaking out against is Rush's name calling of that woman.

Rush's name-calling of that women with harmful intent.

That's the point, I think. They want it that calling someone a slut isn't a bad thing. But when people call someone a slut and mean to denigrate them in doing so, that harms that ideal, and that's what they're protesting.

Once again, someone else explains what I'm trying to say far more concisely

Now the Steam Community site is down It works now. Looks interesting, but I'll have to try it out tomorrow.

If you want a single button to power more than 8 things, set it up to turn on multiple lasers in an enclosed space, and put up a laser detector on the end of each beam. Then each detector can power 8 things, and since lasers are instantaneous, there is almost no delay.

There's a good idea. I'm afraid I might run into the item limit eventually, but it should work I'd think.

Also, here's an idea: a "combination lock", using a set of buttons to try and trigger things (lasers, probably) in a certain order. Perhaps with the use of timers, so the puzzle resets itself if you screw up somehow.

Check it out!

I promise that I beat this test. It is possible to do so, and to do so extremely quickly.
90% of people who attempt this test will fail.

It ain't there anymore. Is that the joke? :|

Anyway, started playing around with this the other day. So far I made a "test" in which aerial faith plates launch you from one to another around a small room, dipping around obstacles and avoiding deadly goo. It was mostly to test how to alter flight paths and the like.
I also started work on two actual challenge maps. The first has you pressing a button as you fall through the air to get a redirection cube, which is then used to turn off a series of lasers to deactivate a death gate in front of the exit. Something is wrong with the triggers however, and the gate deactivation laser won't turn off.
Second is an idea that involves orange gel to speed past a bunch of turrets. Sadly, I've discovered that you can only link up to 8 objects per button, and I need much more.

Finally, an idea that I've had but haven't begun work: Using a redirection cube and portals, try to find which of a bunch of laser receivers opens the exit rather than discouraging you, dumping you into goo, or revealing turrets.
