Oh, I figured it out. You don't need to include any financial info to 'pledge to the project'. You could donate 10 billion for stuffs and giggles if you wanted to. Observe:

Haha holy forget, I just visited their site and now they claim to have 93 million. Most successful Kickstarter in history--or more probably, these people are trolling.

I gotta call BS on them claiming to have raised 15 million. I'd be shocked if it's even 50 grand.

The khajit can't be trusted [...] Argonians are primal savages, and have made little to no effort to advance as a race.

Rights? Sure, but why human rights? I don't like the implications.

i say we all claim a play style and report back here.
of course i will do the sneak-archer. you guys can do one of the stuffty ones.


they knew they had to rush announce this after that bullstuff fallout spinoff that no one liked the sound of.

I'm def calling mage. I just hope the spells are better. The casting system (where you equip spells as weapons) was way better than Oblivion but what bugged me was that all the spells were really boring. They were all basically variants of 'Heal X health' or 'Deal X damage to enemy' with different animations. I'd love creative spells that had some of the abilities of the shouts in Skyrim. Divinity 2 is really good with this.

I had an issue with ants coming in from under the kitchen door to eat my dog's food. I didn't want to kill them so I swept them up and threw them into the garden. I watched the holes they entered the house from and used sealant to close them. I've never killed an insect (deliberately obviously) other than mosquitos, ticks, and other parasites. Love spiders.

TBH my biggest problem with NMS is that the generation isn't as great as it looks. I only care about exploring planets--anything else, I'd go play EVE or Elite. The planets suck. They all have the same robot enemies and natural predators are laughably easy to fry even with the starter gun. Every single planet is covered in little bases (I thought I was discovering them?) and while the planets and and animals seem to change, all bases look the same. Why wouldn't they make the bases automatically generate with a series of styles? That would be cool.

Also, the planets are all 1-biome. It's a desert planet, a snow planet, or something inbetween. There's no Earth-likes or biomes with multiple biomes. The animals look stupid because the generation that designs them is totally random, but I'll let that go because it can get pretty funny. Also, it doesn't help me feel immersed when I literally can't fly my own ship or go below cloud height--you just point at a spot to land and hit a button. The ship automatically lands for you. You also auto-land in shuttles. Hard landings on Elite are pretty fun, and IDK why they'd take the ability to crash out of the game.

Even if the generation was truly breathtaking, it would get old eventually. There are no fun incentives to visit planets. It's either a boring fetchquest for a linear story (the point of this game was to write your own story!) or you are literally just mining. Instead of exploring planets I would tend to just scan for resources and spend the next few minutes grinding down a pillar of rocks in a very boring fashion. My suggestion would be to totally remove mining from the game--it's boring as hell. Maybe keep precious minerals in small forms or something.  Also, survival boiling down to 'FIND CARBON!' isn't very fun. Especially when every planet carries the essential elements for survival. It's just scanning and then jetpacking into the distance. The new toolbar that let you call your ship to your location was a good idea, though. Base building looks really cool--but it's an exploration game, so I'd feel tied down. Purchasing mobile fleets was a much better idea.

btw, get the 3rd person flight mod. it feels awesome.

maybe they should have waited until now to release. they released before tons of promised features were in the game, lol, of course they got bad reviews. they published an unfinished game.

You realize Conan is Asian right? The issue would affect him.

I said "You wouldn't be upset if a Bay Area resteraunt discriminated against Asians?" because Conan is a Bay Area Asian. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It wouldn't affect him because the business would be ostrachized, preventing the appearance of a tribal standard. If any part of the law allows discrimination on a commercial basis, it will spread to create discrimination on a public basis, because public policy is determined by commercial lobbying. Bay Area Asians are not only numerous, they're wealthy. He said that it wouldn't fly 'in this area,' which is why he wouldn't be harmed. Inner-city kids in Chicago don't have the opportunity to fight that oppression--that's why I drew the parallel.

why do you feel the need to tell private groups what to do

Holy forget, are you actually defending segregation? I'm not even gonna try to argue with this.

yes, cause i know that everyone i know, everyone they know, and then some would not go to that restaurant, and they'd lose out on a lot of business. that kinda stuff just doesnt fly in california's liberal society.

Okay, so you'd be okay with the discrimination because it doesn't affect you--but what about people who it does affect? If a wealthy Chicago suburb declared itself a "white neighborhood" because they were angry at black teenagers skateboarding through the streets, it would hurt people with no voice to cause change. There wouldn't be a movement to 'abandon' that neighborhood.

lets talk about how california put a travel ban on oklahoma cause oklahoma has a law saying that private adoption agencies (in this case, religious ones) dont have to cater to giving adopted kids to queer couples

Catering to them? By allowing queer couples to adopt? The law literally enshrines the illegal and discriminatory job of STATE-FUNDED adoption agencies to refuse gay couples due to their loveuality, which is a clear case of loveual-orientation discrimination. I'm not sure how you find that debatable at all. You'd actually prefer that literal orphans not get adopted because you have something against two men being married?

By the way, there is no 'travel ban'. It's a California ban on state-funded government travel to Oklahoma, so the government wont fund visits from politicians and such. This doesn't affect anyone in Oklahoma, only those in Cali. If anything, the worst thing it does it create a philosophy of "Well, we've already paid for that law through these bans, we might as well keep it!"

private businesses should have the right to refuse service to anyone, regardless of purported motives.

You'd be okay if Bay Area restaurants started refusing service to Asians? Private businesses can't discriminate--very reasonably--against anyone on the basis of being in a protected group, which includes religion, race, ethnicity, gender, loveuality, and disability status.

edit:
You also can't discriminate based on national origin, age (over 40), pregnancy, citizenship status, parental status, veteran status, or genetic information.
