Is there a major difference between the newer Spiderman games, mechanically, or are they just longer stories/campaigns in some? (and by “newer” I mean since 2018, the last one I played was on the PS2 I think 😅)

Edit: Oh wait, also make sure you have “Ghosts In The Machine” selected when you go to the signal tower!

Yeah, the “show the Atlas a wonder” quest is repeatable and endless, same for Base Computer and Settlers, so you’ve completed those questlines (at least, Atlas and I’m pretty sure Settlers - Base Computer might offer more as you progress the Artemis quest line).

As to Ghosts in the Machine, that signal tower you get sent to should have someone to talk to at it. I don’t think it’s possible to have missed something with that quest in your log, because talking at the signal tower is the very first part of it.

If you select the Ghosts In The Machine mission, there’s a way to restart it “with local objectives” or something to that effect. I’ll see if I can find how to do it when I’m back at my desk - the internet is being unhelpful right now.

Oh, it’s not just your pet peeve - The Queen really hates it, too!

Oh! Yeah bud, those are the resolution of those quests. Your remaining objective is to enjoy reality, while it lasts. Is that 16 seconds? 16 hours? 16 weeks? 16 years? None can say. Just enjoy the ride 😊

The Atlas one is just a repeatable quest where you can show the atlas something you scanned and then added to your list of wonders. It’s a menu thing in the Discoveries list.

Er, well, the tips were kinda in the form of the questions haha 😂 If you can post your mission log (posted mine in a response to OP elsewhere), I or someone else might be able to give more specific pointers (without spoiling anything, if possible).

Can you post a screenshot of your mission log to give more of an idea what stage you’re at with each one? I’d kind of assumed you’d found the Anomaly for example, but I shouldn’t have. Mine looks like this, on my permadeath save:

I think you’re guaranteed the choice of a frigate upgrade module or a bulkhead expansion (freighter inventory slot) at the end of every emergency beacon derelict (the space ones).

There are resolutions to all the quests, yes, but you’ll come across the pieces as you explore the universe. You are pretty much on your own now, but I can offer a few tips to progress I think.

You can ignore the base computer quests, and the settlers - those are endless for you now, I think. Something more interesting will pop up from them if it’s a major story beat.

As far as what you’re even looking for: Do you have all 16 glyphs? Have you saved any freighters in battle yet? Looted a derelict? Tamed a little companion buddy? Have you made it to the centre of the galaxy? Got an organic ship? Got a fleet? Can you travel to any colour star? It took me ages to find the Constructs, dunno if you’ve run across them yet… And this is far from a comprehensive list. It’s a big universe with lots to find!

No Man’s Sky gets regular content updates that add new stuff to the game - graphical updates like new water behaviours for example, new quests, new cosmetics, and new mechanics. Aquarius was the latest update and added fishing and a bunch of fishing related items, quests, and cosmetics.

I’ve had the game since launch and highly recommend it now. It’s very chill, and very pretty. A nice way to unwind after work. When not on a quest, it’s a very unguided experience; the trick, I’ve found, is to set little goals for yourself and then focus on those, one at a time.

The whole message of the game is “the journey is what’s important, the destination never existed at all”, and the gameplay loop reflects that.

Source code was leaked?

TFW it’s just Pokemon Red copied and pasted 35 times, in Word 2003, with mail merge tokens to replace character, location, and skill names:

I don’t know that “comedy” belongs in front of that prediction…

1. He’s going to court without a lawyer, which is always always always a bad idea (I wish that weren’t the case but it is a fact);
2. He’s tried to claim he doesn’t own or operate the business in question;
3. His defenses are spaghetti thrown at the wall:

His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.

Many of these (in fact, all but the arbitration clause; that’s probably from their TOS but won’t save him) are SovCit arguments and simply do not apply. They’re going to be dismantled in seconds in court, and I know that with at best a slightly-better-than-layperson understanding of the law. This guy is going to get thoroughly Bowser’d.

As reported by Torrent Freak, Ryan Daly, the alleged owner of modding company Modded Hardware, has denied any wrongdoing in court — even that he owns and operates the business at all.

Daly mostly responded to the lawsuit’s claims by saying “denied” and otherwise claimed he lacked “sufficient information to either admit or deny the allegations.” His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.

This guy sounds halfway to SovCit and entirely fucked.

Check out some trailers for Falling Frontier, it looks like it has a lot of potential at least.

Accurate. In order for this to stop the punishment needs to be more than the cost of doing business. Thankfully, Valve seem to be hell bent on doing right by their customers, in most cases at least (just to leave room for scandals I haven’t heard about or forgot 😅)

If you think that an arbitration company isn’t going to end up sympathetic to the people signing their cheques after some amount of time in operation, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. Even if the loser pays (and that’s not a guarantee, some companies foot the bill regardless to make it seem like the better option to the consumer), it’s still the company contracting the arbitrators and the consumer doesn’t get a look in on that, so future business is absolutely an incentive to put the thumb on the scale. “After all, both parties agreed to be bound and waive their right to trial, so what are consumers going to do?” is the logic. Most will drop it after losing arbitration, and there are savings on court costs there too.

I don’t assume arbitration wraps up in any arbitrary amount of time (🥁). I say it’s quicker than litigation because it is, every single time. Because it is quicker it is also cheaper, every single time. Small claims court is different again, and not at question here, just to head that off at the pass.

You however do assume a lot like my location and the location of the suit I brought though, based on my vernacular, and I’d recommend against that. “Mate’s rates” could put me in the UK, or Australia, or New Zealand, or even some places in South Africa and other former colonies. None of those would be accurate.

If you push everybody into arbitration, you’ve already got the arbitrator in your pocket and your costs will still be less than litigation in 99% of cases - even class action. I don’t think you understand just how long and expensive and unpredictable litigation can actually be, but I’ve brought suit before so I do. It took four and a half years to get an initial court date from first filing the complaint. Not the trial, just a date so the judge could hear the facts of the case and opening statements from attorneys. Four and a half years of paying my attorneys, as a private individual, with a lot less money than you might think. And they were giving me mate’s rates; I’ve worked with companies where the legal work billings were in the tens of thousands per day for a single participating law office. That shit is expensive.

Maybe Valve did this to fuck their customers, but they don’t really have a track record of that, and since in the majority of cases arbitration is without question an anti-consumer move, I’d say that if your aim is to paint Valve to be the villains for this then it’s going to be an uphill battle.

Arbitration is always cheaper and faster than the courts, because the courts are very backed up especially since the pandemic, and there’s a lot of admin cost which doesn’t exist in arbitration. That is why almost every other company is trying to force arbitration. So if the goal was to save money, forcing court would have the opposite effect.

I have no doubt that @TucciVuitton had never felt oppression in her young life.

I wonder how long that lasted for her.

That’s pretty sad. I thought you guys were better off than America, but it sounds like you’ve got it just as bad as we do. Sorry bud ._.
