William A. Anders Flew the first manned mission to orbit the moon. You may also recognize this photo (called Earthrise) which he took during that mission:

Avowed does look interesting for someone who knows absolutely nothing about the setting, like me.

I just hope the game world won't feel as artificial as it did in the Outer Worlds. That was probably my biggest turnoff in the game.

I use chatGPT quite a bit, and for the most part while it's been pretty good at sounding professional but whenever I've asked it to communicate like a real person would speak or to tell a joke it hasn't really sounded authentic or funny. ChatGPT 4o seems a lot better at this though. I asked it to tell me a joke in the style of Louis CK and this is what it came up with and it's amazing; "You ever notice how people say 'sleep like a baby'? Really? Like a baby? Have you ever met a baby? Babies don't sleep! They wake up every two hours screaming and demanding attention. You want to sleep like a baby? Try downing three espressos and letting a raccoon loose in your bedroom. That's baby sleep for you. I want to sleep like a cat. Those guys have it figured out. They sleep 18 hours a day, wake up just long enough to eat and give you a look that says, 'You’re still here?' Then they go right back to sleep. That’s the life, man. I want that!"

I was talking about gameplay. Deadfire is a much easier game, even on the higher difficulties, than POE.

One of my favorite books, and it looks like a pretty great adaptation of it.

Finished Wing Commander 3. Only cheesed a couple missions on Rookie as I am too old. Also my wingmen kept getting wasted attacking a cruiser like morons. Excalibur is a hilarious ship, auto aim, woo. The ground missions really can go to hell though, frustrating and hideous.
