What completely useless thing do you hope is in Starbound?

A Balloon.

 

Another one! something that would provide things like from >nyan.cat< (how do you add a link? o_.

 

I already have one that sits in my signature.
He is really weird though, like I will take my off him for 30 seconds and when I look back he is like trying to eat my bed sheets or something...

 

Pop-Tarts , lots and lots of 'em...

 

Hunger/Thirst, though thirst is pushing it. Make it optional to add unique challenges to exploring ♥.

Minecraft always appealed to me because dying of hunger was a real issue, except you know.. That food is too easy to get in Minecraft. I think it would encourage players to explore and experiment with fauna and animal life when the threat of death is real.

 

Achievements! I don't know why this didn't occur to me before. I know they're useless but they're fun (when done right at least.)

 

a dancing action

 

That is totally not useless, dude. I dance almost constantly in Portal 2.

 

Oh! Throwable Snowballs.

 

Okay, looking back through the thread...
None of the things you guys have mentioned are useless...

 

Coming up with something completely useless is almost impossible. Simply because "For fun" is a use.

 

What about a potato? No hunger is within the game
oh wait... potato guns... GODDARNIT! o0O/;:===> *pew* 8:8==

 

1. The majority of humanity.
2. Most products advertised on TV.
3. Achievements in video games.
4. Women. (Just kidding! Or am I? Nah, I'm kidding.) Totally not kidding.
5. The people that run the Patent system. Seriously, patenting shapes and colors? No, just no... (Look up Apple vs Samsung if you don't know what I'm talking about)
6. The Zune.
7. Windows Live Certification Service.
8. Paperweights
9. I ran out of things. Or did I?

The one completely useless thing I'd like to see in-game is...



... Navi.

Yes, I totally went there.

 

I'd also like some Easter Eggs

You forgot

 

I still want Pop-Tarts, lots and lots of 'em...

 

And now a word from our Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Patent_office

 

This is relevant to how the Patent Office is run today, how? The Patent system is broken to hell and back and needs to be thrown out completely.

Here's an interesting read that sums it up pretty well: http://www.baekdal.com/opinion/good-job-apple-you-fucked-the-world/

 

Oh, no, Sal'rith was just joking, hehe. Given all the Apple fiascos that are going on at the moment, yyyeaah. The patent office has issues.

 

That is so true.
if professesionals are brought in from the area that the patent relates to this wouldnt happen.
i bet they tried confusing the patenters using complex mathematics to describe the rectangle with rounded corners.

when he said they were useless it was implied that they were useless at thier jobs(patenting), not useless as a person.
the whole patent system is currently flawed.
