    There was a big push to make “African American” the politically correct term in the late 00s, but for basically every reason you mentioned, it didn’t quite catch.

    The term AAVE was coined in 1973 as a replacement for “ebonics” and it spread throughout the 80s and 90s. There’s a bunch more info about it on the wiki and I don’t think I can succinctly summarize it, but it’s an interesting read.

    It’s decent. Exploring and collecting different things and upgrading gear is kinda nifty. Late game stuff like settlements and fleets are time gated and annoying. Planetary vehicles confused the hell out of me. Building a vehicle pad and summoning it is much more effort than just using the literal spaceship I just parked. Combat feels… Bad honestly. There’s a ton of weapon attachments but only like 2 feel viable but maybe that’s just me.

    I remember space travel feeling pretty good. It’s not bullshit like starfield (where you load screen instead of actually taking off or landing) and not complex like elite dangerous (where entry has to be planned to land near your target), but a nice arcade-y feel with sick visuals.

    If you can pick it up for 20 or 30 bucks I’d say it’s worth if you’re looking for a moderately chill game. There’s a ton to discover but it gets samey after a while.
