Truly, the pinnacle of goaltending
Grimey Drawer

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes

And I fortunately know a little marketing
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed

Pathetic...

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing for attention
That one wants to get inside
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed...

Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my desk
Crying, "Guidance, Sandi, please!"
And I help them?
Yes I do...

Now it's happened once or eight
Someone couldn't hold the faith
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

Have we got a deal?

If I join the community team, I'll never be able to look at my family or friends again.

That's right
But you'll have your job, heh heh.
Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?
What I want from you is - your pride.

But without my pride, how can I-

You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

The boys out there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who fact-checks is a bore!
Yes out here it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
COME ON, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it as a whale
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue will get her sale

Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Join the ride!
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your pride!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Lesnick, Jared, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

I can't believe that after Ben Lesnick's excuse post they still haven't edited the trailer or description on Youtube. At least keep your story consistent; is it a mistake, or isn't it?

Maybe they need a different VP of marketing :confused:

It wasn't a mistake. It was intentional. Ben's a lying sack of poo poo.

They saw a chance to reach a wider audience with some false advertising; and they took it. Of course they'd apologize after the fact.

It's all about money.

Don't forget that that video at the awards, cost money. It's just like buying a TV spot for a commercial, but cheaper obviously. So much for not spending money on marketing, putting it all into development etc. Even more evidence of how they lie with impunity and they continue because well, they can, since nobody can stop them.

Those people want to treat this game like real life and go out on walks planetside and mosey through the bar and lazily sit at a table in-game because they're too meek and unfulfilled to do it in real life. They would rather pretend to be well-rounded than to actually do it.

Like, there's nothing stopping you from going downtown tonight and you don't even need to sprint around all over the place pressing an imaginary USE whenever you stare at someone, why the gently caress would you want to do it in a fake world if not because you're an autist with crippling social phobia.

Sometimes your answer's heaven sent

Occasional vampire queen

Okay, time to put some work in on the PTU. Apparently there's a new patch in the works, but there hasn't been one out in several days, so I'm looking for a mission that I haven't yet done. I think this time I will attempt to put some of the expanded-world claims to rest, one way or the other. I'm going to try to fly to some of the stations, and fly around the moons. We will see if that is possible.

Attempt 1: Looks like there's a new bug on the block- I am not crashing, but the loading screen appears to be hung. But then at long last I load in. I'm floating in deep space, in a tangle of bodies and ship weapons. I right alt + backspace to suicide, and thankfully wake up in a bed on the station. It appears my character may have taken a trip on the Event Horizon however, because this is the station from hell. Everything is jittery. The other players are juking around, the station arms are back to jumping randomly in their rotation, none of the doors work, the consoles are all cycling through their loading animations four or five times before displaying anything... it's awful. Worst of all, head bob is back. I don't know what the gently caress they did but it's back and worse than ever before- I actually stop using shift to run because it's so nausea inducing. After hammering on an airlock control for 10 seconds, I finally get it to register and get outside. All the pads are full- apparently this server's been running for a while which may explain the general shittyness. I get my Gladius fired up, and decide I'm going to try to see the backside of the moon that space station Kareah is at. I warp to the station and engage cruise- quantum being way too fast- and sit back for a 10 minute flight. About two minutes in, I get a "Server Connection Lost" message- while still in flight. Hmm, that's a new one. Then the game crashes.

Attempt 2: Oh- they kicked me off because they just rolled a drat patch out. Well that's annoying because it'll be another hour before it's done, so in the meantime I will make fun of the patch notes.

Patch Notes posted:

Multicrew ships(Constellation and Retaliator) are sometimes encountering issues with their elevator collision.

No poo poo. This is the understatement of the century, somewhere between "Hiroshima feels unseasonably warm for August" and "Star Citizens are a little carefree with their money." The elevators aren't just bugged, they are lethal. Half the time trying to board one in deep space will just catapult you into the void at warp 2.

Patch Notes posted:

A bunch of news about contacts.

I keep seeing stuff about parties and contacts but I have no idea how you manage them. People say you hit F11 but that brings up a blank blue window for me that isn't interactable in any way. So much of the Star Citizen UI depends on secret knowledge of key commands that Citizens don't really seem willing to divulge.

More Notes posted:

Fixed an issue where the lights in the center of AstroArmada would flicker on and off as the characters ran through the center.

Well thank God. Years behind schedule, release is bugged to poo poo, oops our boss actually put out a trailer that told people it's out and ready to play. But at least we fixed a lighting bug in the social module level that everyone forgot about after the first loving week! I hope whoever fixed that one took an hour off, as a pat on the back.

The notes keep on a'comin posted:

Fixed several server-side crashes and performance problems. Fixed several client crashes around port Olisar

This is patch G. This is the 7th straight patch that has "Fixed several server-side crashes and performance problems." Assuming that "Several" is a generously low estimate of two per patch, that means there were at least fourteen loving server-side crashes and performance problems when they first kicked this out the door. And after all this it's still not stable! I'm picturing a code base where half of the functions were just comments like "//Uh... todo: give to the intern" and "//Implement this before somebody fires me"

Well, poo poo, there's barely anything else in here and I have 45 more minutes to go on this download. Don't know why they're pushing out a full copy of the game every time they patch. I guess I will sign off on this one and chronicle my attempts when I can get back on.
