I’m too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven’t elaborated on yet.

Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I’m absolutely going to get my money’s worth - this kind of game just doesn’t exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.

I just got this game and I’m having a blast, this is the style of game I’ve been hungry for for a long time.

I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don’t have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots

It’s “rice” because it’s asian; it’s a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn’t the same everywhere.

Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don’t think they are aware of what I’m recalling here.

A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: “riced-up Honda civic”

Office is weird about it because of their OneDrive product

“The Lemmy Overseer” as I understand it is a backend service that gives us an API to use.

There is an open-source script for interacting with it. However, it does not tell you how that backend service works, exactly. It’s a black box with well defined interfaces, best case, as I understand it.

Important question; author kind of answers here:

If I were to rely on this for my instance, I would require that it be completely transparent and open source. It doesn’t look like this is; you have to trust that it is making good selections, and give it power over your federation status. It’s a dangerous tool, IMO, but I can understand why it would have appeal right now.
