![]() ![]() The opening scene is Ryley making it to an escape pod as some unknown calamity rips the Aurora apart and ejecting into space. ![]() Except when the game opens, the Aurora is going down. You, the player, fill the environment suit of one Ryley Robinson, a menial worker of sorts aboard a massive space cruiser called the Aurora. You know, I’m explaining this poorly, let me start over with a better explanation of the narrative-interwoven free elements. To the degree that most of what you do will be creating your own story and adventure along the way, but in doing so you’ll gradually find yourself immersed in the overall narrative, and. That’s right, there’s a story here, one that brilliantly dances the line between the freedom to make your own story and guiding you forward. Wait, don’t duck away! I know those are a dime a dozen, but Subnautica is different. As in, gathering food, building shelter, etc. especially if you’re familiar with the terms “survival game.” Subnautica tasks you, the player, with surviving on an alien world. Such as “What is it?” Pretty straightforward, actually. So, let’s talk about Subnautica, a Sci-Fi survival game that, if you’re a gamer, should definitely be on your list. Because I want to talk about Subnautica, and why you should play it. Now, my rant on this new editor will now be put on hold until the next post, at which point I shall mock and ridicule WordPress once more (because this is seriously bad). Or as people with intelligence call it: steps back. That’s four steps instead of the old one step. Look, I get that there may have been improvements on the backend or new tools that someone wanted to introduce, but right now, in order to do something that used to be a single click of the mouse, I have to click a “block editor” (or whatever it’s called) open, then do a seach, an actual text-based search, for the same thing, find it in the search results, and then click it. I guess it shouldn’t be too surprising to me that several of these new “blocks” in the block editor are dedicated to money.Īnyway, sorry to interrupt what would have started off as simply a post on Subnautica, but upon loading my site today, I discovered that I no longer had a choice between the functional “classic” editor and this new garbage the company is determined to shove down everyone’s throats because why would any of their customers know what they wanted or needed to do? They’re just semi-ambulatory money sources, right? It’s not like they use the tools or anything? Right? Which seems like a case of deliberately hobbling the product people are already paying you for in order to try and “coerce” them into giving up more money. ![]() That’d be alike any Amazon product adding itself to your cart because you looked at it. ![]() EDIT: And just clicking the button to see what that premium thing was added it to my cart and put me one click away from accidentally billing myself. However, you can’t use this plugin unless you pay WordPress for the exclusive ability to use plugins. Oh, and as a cherry on top, when I accidentally contacted customer support to complain about being unable to go back to the old version as a default, they shoved some “trademarked” level canned responses at me and then closed the channel.Īnd to top it all off, you can set the old editor as a default with a plugin that has-already-over 5 million downloads. It’s slower to load, lacks basic functionality, and is all around terrible. Block editor follows the “recent” trend of “take functional tools for a user and destroy them in favor of the one user who thinks they’re too complicated or not pretty enough.” Then they hand you something colored in pretty colors and designed for someone who wants to take pictures for instagram rather than use it. No intelligent company should have forced this on their users. So, before I get started on today’s post, I have something to say regarding WordPress, the company that I pay to provide hosting and my site’s toolset for writing. ![]()
