  • I find that hard to believe.

    • Draw distance sucks for a vast ocean of plants and sealife. Seriously, I have a really good video card, and this fucking Unity engine can’t draw 500 feet in front of me.
    • So many wall “suggestions”, clipping, other graphical glitches, especially near the end area
    • Incredible music, but it’s barely heard because the game either cuts it off midway through or decides to go silent most of the time
    • Bad save serializations that can sometimes spam a ton of error messages on load
    • You can’t kill anything, including warpers that are more dangerous than leviathans
    • Can’t walk with a Prawn in an alien base, because you end up getting stuck on the floor for some reason
    • Reaper in caves, who can drop you off the map
    • An insulting unrealistic O2 meter, and not enough keyslots
    • The Cyclops is. Fucking. Useless. By the time you get this thing, the leeches in volcano areas fuck you over, when power is already a precious resource. And it still needs full upgrades to make it even remotely useful in Lost River.
    • Torpedos are useless. Flares, Floating lockers, air pipeworks, nuclear reactor, alien containment, all useless.
    • Death might as well be like hardcore, since losing a vehicle is worse than losing 30 minutes of progress













  • You can do some wild shit with pipes:

    • head -10 /var/log/syslog - Look at the first ten lines of one of your log files, with timestamps on the front
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 - Splits the lines by a space delimiter (the -d' ' part), and grabs the first “field” (the one with the timestamp, using -f1)
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 - Splits the timestamp at the “T”, and leaves only the date
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - Gives you a count of each date
    • grep systemd /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - For only the lines with ‘systemd’ on it, gives you a count of each date

    The standard GNU toolkit has a ton of utilities like that for doing stuff with text files.
