TIL Thanks for the info/clarification

I can add an aspect when it comes to Lenovo laptops. PopOS automatically searches and offers updates for different firmware for my Thinkpad. Really neat feature I haven’t seen in other distros to keep your device up to date.

This is really hard to answer, because I think it highly depends what kind of player you are.

I don’t play optimally. Yes, it’s fun to haul yourself around with the grappler at breakneck speeds and stop just in time not to get squished, but I’m not that good at it. I also don’t limit myself to the most valuable parts and move on to another ship, but collect the last metal frame. I would make more money in less time, but don’t like the idea.

Overall the game stays the same with a few mechanics that get added (explosive charges and something that screws with your salvage and has to be solved first). The system in the ships get more complicated and you need to solve several steps before you can “solve” a problem.

I play Hardspace Shipbreaker when I want to relax.

You are a worker in a spacedock and dismantle ships with a cutting and grappling tool and divide the components into resource bins. It has a chill soundtrack and it’s fun to float around with thrusters and figure out how to separate the different parts.

Good answer.
