Could... couldn't he buy a house closer in fairly short order just by the gas he'd be saving instead? Or... something. Assuming 20 mpg, that's 9 gallons/day. If he's in the states, I'd wager somewhere around 3.50ish (s'what it is where I'm at... might be higher, might be lower depending on local) a gallon, or 28.50/day. 5 days/week brings that to ~142/week, ~428/month, ~5k/year. Give it... 40k-60k for a lower end house? One I'm sitting in was purchased at ~30k, though I'm in a fairly inexpensive area. Bit over a decade to pay it off just from gas money if he was within walking/biking/bus distance at 60k. Bit under at 40k. To say nothing about what kind of money could be rustled up with an extra three hours (assuming going sixty) in your day.

Not really sure why I ran those off. I guess the guy deserves the benefit of the doubt he's ran the cost considerations, or has something else mandating a ridiculous drive like that. Unless... by bus or train? That might be considerably cheaper and more sane.

Bluh bluh, Dark, it's been rehashed a million times. It wasn't anything to do with being entitled to free stuff. People were pissed because the game's outward facing elements stated -- promised, really, for all that's completely unbinding in a meaningful sense -- a great deal more content and continued development, and then prompt dipped without much warning and little to no of said expanded content. If it hadn't been for those promises and pretty words, there probably wouldn't have been much enmity at all towards Terraria. People didn't feel entitled toward free stuff, they felt betrayed by promises broken.

Now, the thing folks should take away from this, from the developers side, is to never ever say goddamn anything about anything until it's done. No promises, no predictions. No dates, no conjecture. "It'll be done when it's done" and "Well, maybe. We'll see when we see" should be the absolute entirety of your PR department, and not a frakdamn thing else should be said, ever. Screenshots or videos are somewhat more acceptable, but "pics or it isn't happening" should be your motto and final word.

For the purchaser, it's reaffirmation to not trust a single word bloody anyone selling anything says. The gamer's motto should be "put up or STFU" and zero tolerance for any other shenanigans permitted. Anything not legally binding should be considered fiction until proven otherwise, via video, screenshot (less trustworthy, picture editing is incredible nowadays), or direct experience (demo, borrowing from friend, "borrowing" from "friend"). It's not very complicated.

Anyway. The pretty words seem kinda' pretty. Weird that it seems to be cribbing some stuff from Starbound (one tile movement, etc.), but understandable as from what I recall they share some coding elements. But we'll see when we see.

... I'm on darkling, but I'm not getting it

I guess the sburb thing is almost the same color?

I know of many wonderful things one can do with milk.

Unfortunately, of the ones involving food, I don't have the makings, or the particular means of acquiring the makings, for them to a degree sufficient to go through a gallon of milk before it starts going rancid. I just don't eat that much, and would generally much rather drink water.

... and of the rest, I'm not terribly interested in that particular subset of shenanigans.

Ehhnn... even free cats cost a bit if you're doing it right. Vet visit for nabbed up strays in a pretty good idea, generally. Otherwise things can happen that are just uurrrggeee.

Though there's good odds you can get free ones that are already in good order. People give out kittens pretty regularly, from what I've seen. Gods know my immediate family has farmed out a few dozen over the years.

Gratsies! Have a char dump or vault link?

Also, has anyone tried the glutton addon class yet? It is delightfully silly. All the talents. All of them! AHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh the things I find on the internet. Truly, 'tis a silly place.

... I was kinda' sadden it took me 'till end of that thing to identify it as Kirby music. Thought it was Zelda for a while

Ending bit is pretty distinctive, though.
