British game companies like Games Workshop have been using the singular "dice" for decades. If a use becomes sufficiently common, it is both standard and no longer misuse - that's just how language works.

Indeed. But it's possible; plausible, even. You can't squeeze blood from a vacuum. A orbital platform can't really host anything you could call a "colony". It can't expand; it can only be expanded.

Crysis 1's suit power system was seriously cumbersome and made it excessively difficult to use some of the cool powers in the middle of a fight.

Not so sure about that. Material availability on the moon isn't great (it's certainly worse than Mars), but it's not zero.

Get me a self-sustaining and indeed self-expanding robot colony and then we'll talk about maybe considering sending people there long-term.

Maybe put a space between the words?

The alternate scenario is that they just run out of money at some point, without a "1.0" release at all.

Here's one thing I'm doing (Wii Fit+):

I have a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old to shepherd through their studies, while my wife is still working (animal husbandry). ...I'm busy. And tired.

800 hours in FTL. Worth it. I'm not sure what I'd consider a minimum. Maybe $2/hr?

Dolphins swimming through bioluminescent algae. The algae glows when disturbed, limning the dolphins like ghosts.

In F.E.A.R., if a grenade lands near an AI with a place to run to, it yells "shit!" and runs. But if a grenade lands near an AI and it's backed into a corner with nowhere to run, it mutters "shiiiiiit" and backs as far away as it can.

I have a wife and kids. ...I am not introducing them (or myself) to this.

As I was, so I am: https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Pyrian

"Reload Your Musket Simulator" I'd like to see a modern FPS or something set in a properly spinning space station instead of some magic handwavium artificial gravity a la Prey, System Shocks, etc..
