Hardspace: Shipbreaker

Pretty chill sim game. It's more visually impressive & less janky than House Flipper... in spaaace! No idea why the haters can't follow a tutorial. I had no trouble flying around, switching tools or navigating the Hab. It's 3GB, so you'll probably have room. Plus, the campaign starts you out with insurmountable debt, so it's relatable to most players.

Some unsolicited advice for a 10/10 Shipbreaker experience: Take the time to remap your controls and tweak settings. Use gentle inputs. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Watch out for the furnace. Your charred remains are only worth about $9. Happy cutting. 👍👍

You start with insurmontable, lifelong debt ensuring you will never be free to pursue your passions and dreams, keeping you perpetually enslaved to a system designed to grind you up and spit out a souless husk in the name of endlessly increasing profit margins. You work a dangerous, tedious, and unfulfilling job to keep the lights on and stay alive, while the fruits of your labor are feasted upon by sociopathic corporate suits. Oh yeah, the game. It was pretty good too.

Instead of building stuff, you dismantle it and chuck it in the furnace or recycler for money. The running joke is that you're so far in debt, that it will take a lifetime to get out. You pick a random assortment of ships worth a net value, then salvage them to pay off debt, which is a funny poke at the vast majority of our lives lol. The music is a funny mix of western U.S. folk music with banjo, and some electronic accompaniment -- basically it's gold miner music to make the insult of your massive debt complete. You can work to varying degrees of difficulty and permadeath, but all modes have hazards eventually which make the work harder to complete. It's really a game for people who like the romance of working in space, and like laughing at the absurdity of corperate dominance over every day life. The only issue with the game is some of the controls seem unnecessarily complex, but overall, this is a solid game worth the buy.

Nothing complex here, just a peaceful ship deconstructor. Put on a podcast and have fun
