You do remember that they signed a contract with NASA to have a lunar lander ready this year, right? A lander that requires more than a few launches and reuse of both the first stage and tanker Starships?

These launches are less about iteration than they are marketing. They are burning money and need to maintain interest in their magic Starship. They need just as many years as NASA and they need NASA's money. The difference is, SpaceX have not demonstrated they can achieve their technical goals and they gloss over all the challenges while at the same time they waste money and Raptor engines on these publicity flights.

Remember, Falcon 9 was earning them money while they experimented with landing. And they hyped up its capabilities and cost before eventually under delivering. Starship will be different in that it may not even male them money.

I'm tired all the time and there's almost always something else I should be doing. Plus, so many games feel like just more work instead of fun.

I just returned home from Graceland and didn't realize that!

I don't get it. Men go around for years carrying Yeti tumblers and no one bats an eye. Women start carrying a similar cup with a handle and everyone acts weird.

Collecting snail shells. Turns out there are hundreds of land and freshwater snail species, many that are easily identifiable by even as an amateur. Some are common but many are in narrow habitats or restricted ranges, making collecting an adventure. The microsnails might be the coolest. They're insanely small but under a hand lens they can have very intricate shells and they are everywhere! It's like pokemon but irl.

Ya... wonderful story telling and gameplay though. It made both me and my brother cry.

It's easy and fun

I was going to say the same thing. Pretty much all the games I was playing at the time worked on Linux 10 years ago, Portal 2, Civ 5 , Kerbal Space program. There were others I've forgotten too.
