Starfield Play Journal #9 - One popcorn cube with "real" "butter" for the midnight showing.
Space Skyrim with guns time. I got a couple more special powers since they were there, until the game stopped giving me places to get them, then I decided I should try being a space cowboy. It's fitting because my character's background is a bounty hunter, after all. I had to prove I really wanted to be one though, which meant doing one of their infinite quests, and on the way to doing my chosen one, I met Space Grandma, who was quite nice and also just fell asleep right after I boarded. As part of becoming a space cowboy, I got a space revolver that I used for the next part of the quest involving wandering through a canyon to rough up some space varmints the size of a van or bigger and also take down some bandits.
I also added Sarah to my ship crew because it turns out with her leadership skill points she's a free crew slot so why not. Also for some reason as I was dropping off a bunch of random junk I'm holding onto for later in my room at the Lodge, I had to settle a random argument about weightlifting. And then everyone just wanted to ask me about what having superpowers is like.
Before continuing with the space cowboy quest line, which would soon after take me to meet a boss man who sounded straight out of Oblivion and then back to the cyberpunk planet to do violence, I took a detour to Saturn's moon Titan for some random fun sidequests including taking a tour while dressed as a movie monster. Also someone there really loves their job at the local Chunks, which turns out is some kinda fast food chain instead of just random food I find in bases. Complete with "special sauce". I've also noticed the phrase "chunks, huh" slotted in a number of dialogue lines about it. I wonder if they bothered to hide a Chunks factory somewhere in the map, or if that's going to be a DLC thing. Or maybe they just come from inside the sun in the Sol system, I don't know.
