Funny that you mentioned 2048 specifically, that one got me on the high way one time. For half a second I thought I could get past traffic if I compressed all the cars in front of me into the right lanes.

I gotta disagree there. My yard even when mowed is a haven for all sortsa critters. Lizards, squirrels, and birds prance around by day, and at night you can find hundreds of varying spiders and wasps hunting smaller insects. Rocks might afford some of that but just about nothing would be happy with plain sand backyard. Then again, I live in an area with lots of rain and no shortage on water.

I try to mow pretty high and I let it grow for a few weeks between, but unfortunately I cant just leave it be due to my hoa.

Yeah but 6969 is pretty bright!

They’re not defending Biden personally, and they’re not saying you shouldnt protest. They’re saying “Don’t forget, on election day you still have to go and vote for Biden because Trump will be worse”. Unless you’ve got a better proposal on how to handle the election specifically, their point is perfectly relevant and doesn’t undermine anything in your post.

Its 4-player coop in-mission, but there is a meta-game where the entire community contributes towards spreading or defending democracy across several planets neighboring super-earth. So this week one faction might have gained some ground, so everyone is encouraged to fight on that front, but the next week there might be an order to push back the border of the opposite faction. I believe there is one person, Joel, who is in charge of playing dungeon master for the overarching war.

At a player level, the status of the war will determine which planets are available to do missions on and what your personal challenges will be set to (to reward you for contributing to the cause). This updates on a near daily cycle and adds a bunch of great variety to the environments and challenges you’ll face.

Nah nah, you get split up by difficulty. At first you only have access to level 1 difficulty, and you gain difficulty level access by accomplishing missions in each level (up to 9). Chances are, you’ll be playing with fellow rookies until about 5 or 6. By the time you’ve hit difficulty 5 you’ll have a full arsenal of very competent gear, helped very much by the fact that some of your starting gear is actually still very viable mid/late game.

Oh my god… WHERE’S EPOXY HOTDOG GUY?!
