Yep Valve opened the sales a couple mins early so I had my order complete already when 10 AM PST rolled over. They seemed pretty reliably available for at least 30 mins after that, at least whenever I refreshed.
I'm not sure what steps are necessary but I have my payment info saved in Steam. It's not one-click (I still have to review and confirm) but it's a pretty fast process Edit: I'm in the US if that matters.
Perhaps more importantly I heard someone claim that payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, etc) can slow things down or even bottleneck the checkout as they verify. Supposedly you can get around that by putting funds into your Steam wallet in advance. I really want a controller ASAP and there's kinda no downside for me (I'll probably spend the money this year regardless) so I did that.
Kerbal Space Program had a super nice community. Well, until KSP2's cancellation, that brought a ton of haters seemingly out of nowhere. Fortunately I think that's blown over and all the kind and creative people are moving over to Kitten Space Agency, which seems like a way better project.
King Gizzard is absurdly prolific so I'm not sure it's entirely fair to compare other bands to them lol
But yeah they were certainly my first thought for the 'microtonal rock' inspiration. But there were others like Secret Chiefs 3 experimenting with this stuff even back in the 90s.
Hehe yes, we called it "magic smoke" in the early days of my engineering studies. Devices run on magic smoke so they stop working if the magic escapes.
The game engine itself was by far the most dangerous thing in hardcore mode 😆 But I got lucky and finished it too and it was a hell of a rush. More about caution and planning than mechanical skill like a lot of games.
Subnautica helped me vanquish (control, really) my thalassophobia
Me too... in video games lol. Real water can be like a thousand times more murky, and wreckage can be full of dangerous rust and things to get your equipment tangled on 😞
But anyway yeah it became one of my very favorite games and I even beat it on hardcore mode. The cyclops only tried to yeet my character once or twice lol
Coconut oil can be fantastic but sometimes it imparts a bit of coconut flavor that I don't want. Perfect for many desserts and Asian-inspired dishes though (Indian, Thai, etc).
The Secret of NIMH, maybe
