Looks like it might work ... for say this sunday?

Saw this on the humble store and it ticks a lot of the boxes we enjoy for weekend games.

* mining
* coop
* space
* weapons and mayhem
* dwarves

it's also on steam but slightly more expensive

it's in early access but looks pretty polished ratings on steam are positive

Also double money on gun running and special vehicle missions

also discounts on insurgent and nightshark

If you log into GTAO in the next week (till monday 26th) you get a $250K as a tax rebate there is also get 10% of any purchase back up to $1M

as always the money comes later but could make for some good cash back if you are looking to buy anything. There is double money on smugglers run sell missions at the moment as well but that's always a tough option to solo so not sure it increases the rate of return enough to be worth using for grinding vs the vehicle selling.

There's turtles, kelp, bubbles and stuff in the next version (1.13) and they've rebuilt the terrain gen so it won't produce fucking map errors. Joyously, they've also updated the way that water works and have made items flow upwards; for lava lamps or streams of watermelon that you run through. Not faster than existing elevators but superb.

I also hear that they are back-filling existing oceans, which is ace!

This is a fascinating piece of kit a quad copter with full autonomous flight modes and advanced machine learning camera based obstacle avoidance.

A lot of the AP type drones have these sorts of features but they are somewhat simplistic and more like flight assist than full autonomous.

This system has 13 cameras facing in ever direction with stereo pairs on every side top and bottom and one main camera it uses for imagery. It then uses a nvidia tegra processor and some custom machine learning to map it's environment and track it's intended target and plot its flight path.
