Well, finally ran across my own colliding planet system in NMS. I knew of them, but it's rare. Sadly, since every planet is its own "instance", so to speak, you cannot run across from one to the other. The closer you get to the collision line, the more the game felt like it wanted to crash, lol. The world you're on stayed "tilted" in perspective, too - like it's stuck in a sense - vs. the illusion of horizon moving so you feel land stays level. Neat to see "in person" tho.

In regards to games, it's no longer all about "WoW's servers are down" or "my personal ISP is down" - it's now AWS or Google or whoever else is down. 7 Days forum (and some other games) was full of "can't connect/can't play" - I would guess for 7 Days, Epic Online Services (which 7 days now uses for crossplay and other online features) was connected to AWS in some way - I disabled 7Days EoS myself ages ago, since I only SP, btw. When something way worse than this time goes down, it's gonna be fun. People forget how fragile and wholesale/controlled by too few companies, the whole 'net interconnection stuff is.

At a complete loss here. I already tried verifying my steam files and did a clean install, but no dice. I can't continue the quest at this rate, which sucks cus I was aiming for a completionist run this time I don't have any crash logs either, and my game has been running almost perfectly up until this point. Any help?

Other ideas to come

Me and my gf bought the first game about 1,5 year ago, tried to play it but we kept disconnecting all the time. When i hosted she was the one getting disconnects and when she hosted i got disconnected. I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while but never found anything, just a bunch of people having the same issue. I've heard everything from router issues, pc issues, network issues but no "fix" works. Today we bought the 2nd game in hope that this issue would've been fixed but of course it has not. Still the same issue, doesn't matter who hosts it's always the same. We've tried with other people being host, that just means we both get disconnected. I've tried opening ports in the router, i've tried different routers, firewall, pc settings, different pc's. We've tried about everything and yet no fix. This makes me believe it's something on the devs end making this issue. Because this does not happen in any other game, it's only grounded and grounded 2. So now i turn to the official forum in hope of getting this fixed.

A player joined me /online/ and he can't have special weapons, but I can. Is there a way to fix this or do you give it as a recipe?

Is it possible to recover the special weapons that I found? Because some of them disappeared and I can't find them.

I would like to welcome a flying buggy in this game, like a dragonfly or something else, if possible.

Technically Autumn ends on 21st December (if you are based on northern hemisphere)

So, now it's not getting released until November?! That's WINTER 2025, not FALL 2025.

I keep getting kicked out of my game

With the sour 2.0 for grounded 2 please tell me youre adding back the sour edge and I dont know if it is just or when i playing i keep getting kicked out my game

I think there are just as many customers who don't care if the game has no romance. And some that would even prefer that it doesn't have romance options. I fall into the group of customers who don't care either way. I respect your opinion, but it's a little surprising that no romance is a complete deal breaker for you.

Woke up to AWS outage, fun way to start week. Also is Diwali, so my company is mostly out of the office, hah.

Witkoff isn't playing out as the best point man here.

Im watching loads of series and mostly new seasons like Law and Order and Chicago but I have watched 3 new series and they really good Task : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28013708/ One of the best crime dramas I have ever seen, right up there with Sopranos and The Wire. It has some of the most believable and complex characters in any series and the narrative is absolutely captivating. It might be HBO best limited series from the same guy that did Mare of Easttown. If you havent watched this you are denying yourself an absolute unforgettable series experience Murdaugh: Death in the Family : All about the real life story of Alex Murdaugh, fascinating to see how utterly depraved and dysfunctional Murdaugh was and how far he fell The Last Frontier : A plane of convicts crashes in Alaska and one of them is a former CIA black ops agent and its all about capturing the criminals in the wilderness of Alaska and what does this ex-CIA agent want to do now he is free

The second reply always creates weird body horror images where a person screws their lips up in such a way that they can kiss themselves...

Can't get my controller to work on Gamepass, so might have to pass for now.

I get what you mean. Romance in a lot of RPGs feels forced, shallow, and almost like a checklist feature. You talk to a character a few times, pick the “flirty” dialogue options, give them a gift or two, and suddenly they’re in love with you. Then after the predictable “romance scene,” the story basically forgets the relationship ever existed. There’s no actual depth, no growth, no conflict—just a lazy mini-quest that pretends to be character development. If romance is going to be in a game, it should matter to the narrative, not just exist for a cheap reward or fan service.

that was quick

It's not like Trump hasn't been a weather vane before. He's been pretty infamous for repeating the views of whoever he talked to last whatever he seemed to believe beforehand. In that particular case though Trump's previous 'support' for Ukraine/ Zelensky always looked very bluff like as well as being heavily transactional. For all the shouting about tomahawks no one ever explained how they'd be launched* or programmed, least of all Trump, so they never made for a very good stick to get concessions from Russia/ Putin. *aside from just fire them from a container bro, she'll be right. Super simple, barely an inconvenience. Which one suspects is ever so slightly a simplification of the problems involved.

I'm assuming it's going to be November 15 instead.

Interesting idea! Weather patterns definitely affect gameplay in many ways. The sunny weather seems like a double-edged sword—it gives you that warmth but also dehydrates you quicker and makes it harder to keep food safe. Windy conditions are tricky too, especially when you're trying to keep track of smaller items like harvested plant fibers and meat chunks—they can easily blow away. The rain, though, seems like a blessing with its fresh water, but the drops hurting you and flooding low areas definitely adds a challenge. I like the detail about puddles staying drinkable for 24 hours after it rains—it adds a nice strategic element to planning your next move.

Heheh, just a bit. Yeah, I only have lowly Win10Pro. I could probably get Ent. stuff from hubby but that wouldn't be our style anymore. I think Win7-Pro was the first Windows I paid for, then Win10-Pro. Before that hubby just kept bringing it home (win 3.1 et al). He also deals with network firewall stuff (working from home precautions = more than average I'm guessing) so I rarely do much with that outside of Windows settings and being very discriminate re: downloading and net presence. ======== Going Sideways: I was reading about Discord and their recent security/user data breach stuff. I remember when the advice was to never give real info on the net if you don't have to, because identity theft. I would still consider that good advice. From that to "send us photo ID's over the internet to confirm your age/person." FFS. Any social media or general net service that wants me send them a copy of my legal ID cards etc is a service I don't need. If Steam ever starts doing that (I don't care why) it's being uninstalled.
