Loiosh posted:This is likely. The Concierge and Subscriber chats both have people making plans for what they'll buy for the sale. Sound strategy imho. I'd also have to hype myself up by getting my peers approval in an echochamber to justify future purchases of jpegs against my better judgement. Otherwise I might start to think about my senseless spending.

CrazyLoon posted:Never actually played it. Just Deus Ex: HR, which I found mostly cool, but never the original. System Shock 2 though...ayup. System Shock 2 was pretty great. The first Deus Ex is a bit of a marmite deal, has a very unintuitive starting level, atrocious voice acting and some very odd design decisions, but it is still got a lot of depth, replayability and some interesting story ideas. The wee chat you have with an AI called Morpheus is pretty great. LBA has not aged well. What's that, damage for running in to walls? Isometric 3d platforming? Dr Funfrock?

It certainly feeds into the whole "Back in my day games were better because they were harder and worse!" mentality.

Mirificus posted:I like how "Mathilda2013" claims to be able to communicate with Karl, knows what Karl is up to, and knows Karl's familial status. They also both happen to be German auditors. Also, whatever "He is not Karl" means. I think it's about Derek Smart mentioning (in jest) that Loiosh is Karl. Which is rather apparently a joke. Since their posts have only one thing in common: A rather positiv view on CIG and their actions. They're quite far away from each other on the reasonable scale.

Cormac's an exceptional human, but just a human. The golem was the other guy. And yes, Neal's stuff is amazing. He's one of my buy-anything authors. Him, Naomi Novick, Peter F. Hamilton, and Ann Leckie are authors who I will buy anything they produce.

D_Smart posted:1) people who get refunds, and their accounts closed, don't affect that count. We've actually tracked that, believe it or not How could you possibly track that? It takes weeks for them to process a refund request, in the meanwhile their backer counter increased by 5000 people. How can you know it wasn't 5001 and they deduced one person who asked a refund?

wrt to the escape pod question: Chris says the repercussion of not using an escape pod is that you "will lose a life", like it's an arcade game. What does losing a life mean in an MMO?

What does losing a life mean in an MMO? A long time ago they wrote up an insane and confusing thing about how death is going to "work" in Star Citizen. Something about you die but there's a chance you can be revived with some negative side effects but if you can't then your 'next of kin' inherits all your poo poo and you play as that guy or something. I'd wager that's what he's referring to.

SirPhoebos posted:lmao, Chris-R wants this to have permadeath?!? Does he have any clue- It's here if you want to read the entire thing: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/12879-Death-Of-A-Spaceman But basically the summary at the time was you'd have a certain number of 'deaths' your character could have. Each time it would add a scare or damage, kinda like how the Nemesis System works for Shadow of Mordor (BTW, was that game great or what?) - I had one Orc who lost an eye and got an eyepatch. Then I killed him and he came back with some arrows in his back. Then I lit him on fire and killed him and he came back with a bag over his head and fire damage on his skin. THEN he died for realsies. Orc Trolling Sim is my favorite sim.

Oh, right I got distracted by Mordor memories. Anyways, after enough death, your character would suffer a permadeath and you'd have to create a new one who would inherit your possessions. So death, but not really.

Very much so. The Connie is a big part of the 2.0 release. It'll be that and the Retaliator bomber I think that'll be pushed. Though not the specific phoenix package because they've said the variants are in progress since they've changed them to use the final modular system.
