$10k a day probably affords you some leeway on ingame currency. And if you run out just shoot a host and take theirs. Simple.

1: Just in one of the taverns. The real question brought up in an SA article on the front page is where the gently caress do they go to the bathroom. Rich people paying for to drink until they get sick probably demand things like toilet paper and not crapping into a cesspit.

2: It's fake currency. It's probably like a bad MMO from what I can tell: You can buy the "deluxe" package and be given the most coins, or you could in theory go out and rob a bank or something to earn the currency the hard way. Likely hookers and drinks cost almost nothing or nothing at all ("This is a freebie for you, stranger!") though. It seems they keep your "inventory" if you're a returning customer, though, as noted by the gun upgrades.

3: They reset it every week or two, from what I remember. So if you kill some guy in town, he probably stays dead until the next reset (after the bank heist). It wouldn't be outlandish for me to buy that NPCs you "recruited" would remember you, kind of like the 'inventory.'

If they could buy gun upgrades instead of just looting them like an RPG, I don't know why everyone wouldn't run around with a LeMat like William did. One day, I will own one. And it will be the best day.

So Arnold was hoping one of his sentient robots would....scalp another one to see a picture to realize they have agency? Honestly makes better sense than what they presented.

I just hope they try to be less clever for the next season.

Elsie and Ashley are 100% alive and with the Ghost Nation, where they'll learn fascinating things and be an odd couple forced to work together in ways that delight and divert us, the viewers at home. All their scenes together in season one set up them being alone together in unsafe circumstances with real stakes, as we already know they don't get along and are kind of dumb when there's no real danger.

And then Elsie turns out to be a robot.

Restworld is just a bunch of shady trees with hammocks and bespoke coolers of beer next to them.

95000 square kilometers. That's the size of Portugal.

It's not quite Westworld but people are going to pay craploads of money to camp in the middle of a specially designed desert. Sounds close enough to me.

Unless they dome it and suck the oxygen out to let people play Quaid I'm not impressed.

May as well say the Painted Desert is the most Jupiter like place on earth and build a space port on it, if all you're going for is a vague look.

edit:
Everyone should see the Painted Desert anyways though. It's awesome.
