For some reason I find it funny how in Bloodborne's localizations how in English and Japanese Eldritch things are called "Great Ones" or "Superior Ones" notifying that they're powerful beings but their literal godhood being question mark, while Finnish localization lacks any subtlety and outright calls them "Great Gods".

Damn, that's a bit of a throwback.

You know, I haven't quite tried any space-flight sims in a while, and I'm kind of in the mood.

Im in a mood for it again because ive been watching The Expanse lately, so in a space mood and i enjoyed just flying around as a bounter hunter in this. I think the last time i played it was two Christmases ago

Is Elite Dangerous on the Xbone any good? Is it worth picking up at some point?

I enjoy going back to it every now and then, mainly for the combat, but there is a lot of stuff you can do from exploring to mining, transporting etc

I'd say watch some stuff on youtube or something to get a vibe for the game.

Don't suppose there's anything else you want to remember for me?

See, that's never an issue for me. Cause I'm a morally devoid bastard who doesn't blink about doing the evil thing.

I mean I can do it, but I just feel like an asshole during and after it, especially if other characters give you grief for doing it.

Thanks! I'll do that next time I have a chance to watch youtube. I love a good space combat sim.

Fuck. I just remembered I last parked an Asp Explorer on the Gnosis, which is a big research ship that moves. I guess USS Eugene Krabs, along with my character, are stuck in the void now lol.
