Farsite: Working toward a million score.

 Just working on getting to a million score points for the next ship upgrade.  I hope to be able to get a ship that can use gates with the next item drop.  Took a week off to spend with a visitor from out of town.  Now I need to get back to work on the score points.

Still Working on Farsite

 Haven't had much time to play Farsite much My GF is coming out from California this week for a short stay. 

Still trying to figure out how to get credit and still completing tasks to get more score points in the hopes of getting a good crate next time they do a crate drop. 

Once the GF goes home I'll have time to actually spend working with this game.

Farsite Gameplay Update

 Finally for enough rewards to upgrade my little ship.  Still trying to figure out how to use the ship to earn credits with which to buy a sector.  I realize some players who have been with the gamer since day one have a huge advantage over a newcomer. But I'm sure that has to be a way to earn enough to eventually buy a sector.  Still excited about this game!  Check it out.

Farsite New items and Sectors.

Today Farsite released another update; this time making some essential items available for further game development.  Radar is the most crucial because one cannot mine without it.  Now it's available for cheap.  Since I cannot afford to buy a sector on a planet I will try to find some work and make some money.

Farsite is Outta Sight!

 Just started an new game, Farsite.  It's a persistant virtual multiplayer universe.  This is by far the the best structured "colonize the universe" game to come along thus far.

At this point I know little about it but will make posts periodically to update my progress.  I am excited to get into this game.  Seems there is also a crypto currency factor I have yet to explore.

There are in addition to the games  there are websites of communities you can join all over social media.  Here's a link to the games site.  There is nothing to download and install, the game is all online.

Cut Flowers from Walmart Radioactive

I was at Walmart a while back and had my radiation detector with me. I discovered all the cut flowers they sell were mildly radioactive. Nothing too dangerous but twice the background reading. That means to me that the flowers are being grown using some sort of fertilizer that is contaminated or being grown on contaminated land because they are not for human consumption..
This also mean the radiation may not be uniform and some flower bunches may be dangerous.
Just a heads up, I would advise against buying Walmart cut flowers or at least check them first if possible.

Amazon Lies Again.

Just got off the phone with Amazon.   They lied to me and insulted my intelligence by tell such an absurd, blatant lie.  This is not the first time I've caught Amazon outright lying to vendors and customers.

I first discovered Amazon was a lying, corrupt website was in 2013.   Amazon had just gone through the books a deleted thousands of book reviews with no explanation whatsoever.
Authors contacted them asking what happened to their reviews.  Amazon said they could only discuss it with the reviewers.  Reviewers asked what happened to their reviews and were told they would only discuss it with the authors.
Amazon flat out lied to everyone and never explained their actions.  So I expect not less from them at any time, sometimes they're great sometimes they are insulting liars.  Here's their latest lie.

I bought a copy of Fallout 4 from Amazon and downloaded it through the steam website.  I wasn't crazy about having to log on to some website to play my stand alone game in the first place.  Well nearly a years ago Steam pulled some extra security crap.  Although I have the correct login and password, they say they will also require a security code to login that they will send to my email.  The code never shows up in my email, preventing me from logging in so I can play my game on my computer.

I try to contact Steam, apparently the only way to do it is to log on to their website.  There is no email address, no phone number.  No way to contact them unless you login to the website.  Catch-22.

I contact Bethesda, the game manufacture, and after explaining the problem they just keep parroting contact steam.

As last resort I go to where I bought the game, Amazon, and they tell me they can't contact Steam about the problem.  Now tell me, how many vendors and third party sellers on Amazon do you think Amazon is unable to contact in any way?  Zero, that's how many.  They told a blatant, absurd, intelligence-insulting lie.
