Space Game General All-Platform Thready Discussy Thing :)

When is Elite Dangerous going to add what really matters? Blockchain?

They both do, yeah.

@BrianRubin Drox Operative 2. Or Avorion?

Kinda not fair, Avorion is a finished, mature product, DO2 has a long way to go before being finished. What are you in the mood for?

Is DO2 playable now? I loved the first one.

It’s playable sure, but it’s buggy and unbalanced and such. It’s still in early access. That said I’ve had a ball with the hours I’ve put into it.

If you loved the first one, the second one should make you happy. It’s pretty much the same game with some new stuff and some QoL features, even at this “early access” point.

Hey friends, welcome to another week of spacey gaming y’all! This week, I take a look at the recent-to-Steam top-down spacey MMO, Star Sonata 2!

Moving on from pre-recorded content, here’s this week’s streaming schedule (please remember, all times are Pacific). Please recall we’ve now moved to a 6 AM Pacific start time:

  • Monday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander stream.
  • Tuesday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Tesla Force stream. 4:00 PM-6:00 PM, a rambling, no-topic live podcast recording.
  • Wednesday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Mass Effect 3 stream.
  • Thursday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Something ate my Alien stream. 4:00 PM-6:00 PM, Dying Light co-op LAN Party!
  • Friday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Freespace Fridays continues as we finish our campaign in Descent: Freespace using the FSPort and then move onto Silent Threat Reborn! I know I keep saying this but seriously last week I had a PC problem that’s now been fixed, so HOPEFULLY we’ll be able to do a stream this week. ;) 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Discord movie night, this time showing the Tom Cruise sci-fi extravaganza, Oblivion!
  • Saturday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Evil Democracy: 1932 stream.
  • Sunday - 6:00 AM-9:00 AM, Far Cry 2 stream.

You can watch any of these streams live on Twitch, and you can see all of our planned upcoming streams and events on our calendar, as always!

In this week’s op-ed, I talk about how much I love the grind, and yet how much it’s kicking my butt! ;)

That’s it for this upcoming week, my amazing friends. Hope to see y’all on a stream or something!

Hey friends, for nearly the past year, I’ve been striving to be a full-time streamer, but that will be put on hold as I start a new gig on 7/1. It’s remote, so I’ll still have time to stream, I’ll just be pulling back on the hours and the variety a bit (you can read in detail about the changes here). In order to save myself time and mental energy as well, I’ll no longer be posting here each week about what’s coming up as well. You can see this on our calendar as well as keep an eye out on social media for updates and changes to things. Thanks so much for supporting me this past year, and I hope to see y’all on a stream or in a comment somewhere.

Wish you well with the new adventure!

Thank you!

Congrats on your new gig, Brian, and glad it doesn’t totally end your streaming!

Does this mean you’ll now stream Sid Meir’s Starships?

All the best on the new job, Brian!

Thank you!

Definitely congrats.

Will you be providing customer support for SM’s Starships? ;)

Congrats, Brian!!! I hope this is the best of both worlds for you :)

I’ll add my congratulations to the chorus, as I did earlier on Twitch. I just hope the 2 hr/day 5 days a week streaming schedule isn’t too much, what with a new job and all.

I hope so too, I’ll make changes if so. If I have to pull back further it’ll be just MWF for the space games.

Grats man!
