Hey all, I am having a blast playing with my fave mods, Stalwart here. Just playing relaxedly through Eridani and the first couple of systems, and I noticed... my behavior in the game reflects my mood in daily life.
Lately I've been way more relaxed about life, enjoying it more. Worrying less about money and deadlines and achievements and just going for pleasant experiences. I noticed that in the game, my playthroughs are also less about achieving stuff and more about playing, dancing around, creating stuff and having fun... instead of extracting every bit of ore from every asteroid.
AND THE GAME LETS YOU DO THIS.
A real eye-opener. Mucho inspiration for MiningPack v2, lots of good stuff coming for more FUN.
Thanks to George and all of you for this, this game keeps growing on me and getting better and more fun. Few other games can be played in as many ways as this. Half-life 2 maybe, with all its mods, add-ons & remakes. Heroes of Might & Magic III as well.
<3, WTS.
Playthrough reflecting daily life?

If you love something, tweak it and twist it. Keep bending it until it breaks. Rip it apart, remix it, rebuild it. Kill your darlings and stitch them together again.

Brainwave: Transcendence as an educational tool (aka "serious gaming").
With all the (customizable!) conducts there are, teachers could screen kids' behavior. Antisocial behavior (excessively killing friendlies/Ferians) or ADHD (like me, get distracted and spend 2 nights in a row up late, mining asteroids). Etc. etc. VERY interesting angle of thought to pursue academically. I have to think more on this.

Have any of you played Minecraft? It's very much like this, entirely so before the 1.8 update.

I view Transcendence as yet another game to powergame and break/win. I have more fun playing Godzilla and wrecking the whole galaxy if I feel like it. When everyone is an enemy or a hostile ally (i.e., technically friendly but does things that harm you), that is easy.
