Engineers has come out for PC, and the groundworks for it have been laid on Xbox One, meaning it will already be part of Horizons for us. Apparently they're going to do a few tweaks to the game in an upcoming patch, so I'll have to wait until then to see whether or not this combat issue is resolved, and whether or not I essentially have to learn to fly again. Saying that, mining is quite relaxing and when Horizons comes out all I'm going to be doing is landing on planets, so it doesn't really make a difference.

If my sources are correct, Horizons will be on Xbox One on 3rd June. On a side note the 1.6 update has been both good and bad, the additions of new weapons, mining commodities, upgraded UI's, revamped mining, and prep for Horizons are all great, but the upgraded NPC AI? Well it's great that they aren't idiots anymore but now combat-centred means of income are a lot harder as the AI are capable of flying their ships scarily effectively. Because of that I've temporarily switched to mining until further notice.

It's representative of what people used to call me on account of my hair (fluffy goat)

I'm lazy af. I'm very sarcastic. I'm very critcal. I'm a bit too honest at times. I'm not good at emotion/my emotions are under developed (I can only really do angry, excited, passive or sad) and I struggle to understand other people's. I rarely leave the house of my own accord; as Richard Ayoade once said "I need a really compelling reason to leave my house; I really like being in my house."

I do quite a bit: Board game. Video game. Archery. Browse memes. Read stories. Read about things that I want to know more about. Analyse data. Think (I can legitimately go for hours in just raw thought coming up with ideas and theories (why I analyse data)). Dude, I love board gaming. Now that more people are beginning to get into it, it's even better.

Yeah, we do need to work on updating the global economy, and making it eco-friendly in the process. We also need to stop using Uranium power plants in favour of thorium ones, but that's for slightly different reasons. The problem is funding and getting these things through the arbitrary and broken bureaucracy of the world. It's also a shame that people can't get used to the notion that AI have the same potential to be 'good' or 'bad' as you or I.

Hmm...fair point. I hadn't considered that.

Well, no, not really. Although I like your thinking, green in the old Jedi order was traditionally used by Jedi Consulars; the diplomats. Obviously they weren't just limited to green, blue, and red (red being usually only used by dark Jedi, Sith or not, because it usually required dark side synthesis to acquire a red matrix crystal) with there being Jedi with yellow and purple sabers, green and blue being the traditional colours. Yoda had a green saber, and he was far from neutral.

I used to care 6-7 years ago. Then there were bullies. Now I don't care.

Neither. Why? The Sith are obviously not good guys, wanting to dominate the entire galaxy and all that, though they do have the coolest stuff. But the Jedi? They're not good either. "But the story portrays them as good guys, so they must be the good guys!" I hear you cry. Well they aren't. For starters their idea of balance isn't balance at all. They want to remove the presence of the dark side and leave only the light. That's not balance. Balance is an equal distribution of the two. People also tend to forget that the Jedi are no strangers to taking innocent lives: with them leading the Republic slaughter on Korriban during the days of the Old Republic; and neglecting and unjustly persecuting the Kaleesh when they were fighting off their slavers with no Republic support because the Kaleesh were not members of the Senate, but their slavers were (General Greivous being of the Kaleesh, with this being the reason why he hated the Jedi). "So who do you side with?" I hear you ask. I am a Grey Jedi, true bringer of balance for I acknowledge the existence and usefulness of emotion and the Dark Side, yet I have no wish to dominate the galaxy, with a notable example of a Grey Jedi being Luke Skywalker, as in Return of the Jedi he force chokes a Gamorrean Guard, expresses high levels of arrogance when talking to Jabba and gives in to anger and hate when fighting the Emperor and Darth Vader, going as far as attempting to strike the Emperor down in anger, yet still managing to promote balance to the force.

Yeah, which is why that will be the single hardest part of this, especially since the media has created a negative stigma towards AI already.

I see no need to fear the machine, sure they may take jobs, but lets put it this way; a Utopian society requires no sentients working in order to function, so the use of near-sentient machines would be integral to this; and true AI could help us get there by helping iron out any (petty) issues mankind exhibits, and then they could join us in the fun. Alternatively we may figure out a way of integrating our own consciousness into machines, which would be pretty cool. Or they could wipe us out, but I reckon that would only happen if people treated AI as sub-human rather than equals.

My favourite flag? For a real one it has to be Estonia (I just like it): Then there's these two not real ones:
