It's yet another day in the wasteland.


Grieving is generally caused by the loss of loved ones. So obviously, the easiest way to prevent it is to have no social connections. That alone should make SC pretty darn grief-proof as it is.

For real though Sandi isn't a great person but y'all are calling an agency listing a resume and totally misinterpreting it.

The reason it lists 9 different types of swimming and double counts languages and lists her Australian accent is because when casting agents are looking for people to a play bit characters for a scene where there's a swim meet in Australia, they want to be able to pull a huge file from those search parameters.

I know some of y'all can't be that dumb
You're missing the point. The agency resume is seen as an extension of that with its clearly exaggerated claims. Watch a Sandi appearance on "Reverse the Verse", or "Ask Sandi", or elsewhere, and listen to how often she steers a conversation about the game into a self-congratulatory and dishonest conversation about herself. Often apropos of nothing, she has derailed a game discussion to provide viewers with irrelevant "facts" about herself, which include.

• Her "15/15 vision".
• Her Mixed Martial Arts Training classes with a 6th Dan Blackbelt.
• Her discussions about her reading the Lord of the Rings in a French Book club.
• Her discussions of her extensive marketing experience (in doing publicity for a nightclub).
• Her degrees in Marketing & Business Administration.
• Her recent description of her talents making her the equivalent of 10 other employees-- all in one. (She is irreplaceable!)

The reason all these additional details on her agency listing are actually of interest is that we see yet further evidence of her pathological embellishments and lies, all meant to pad out her painfully thin career accomplishments. She claims to be a Marine Biologist, a 15 year student of classical piano, a speaker of a bazillion languages, and a bunch of other crap. Yet the only real accomplishments she seems to have proof of are of her modeling career.

She appears to be deeply embarrassed by her actual biography: a hot Australian chick with acting ambitions who sought out and then married a former gaming legend and movie director- and many, many years later was rewarded with a VP position in a business that won the crowdfunding lottery. Her attempts to keep the marriage secret ultimately failed-- but she's doing yeoman's work trying to burnish her fictive qualifications, at least until such time as she can land a part in a big budget TV or film project and she can leave this motley band of nerdy, needy, ball-less gamer dorks behind.

It's me, I'm the one searching every day to find out if Sandi Toksvig is married. I just want to know if I have a chance with her.

I haven't played ED yet but that expansion better be something amazing for that price. Maybe that person figures space games should be like the X series, where you just play around in small sectors within systems (or at planets, in the case of Earth and the Sol system).

From what I'm reading its less of an expansion right now and more like a year pass for all the things they are going to be implementing. Seems ok if you dont have the base game and dont mind grinding and want a proper scale space game. Doesn't seem good at all if you already have the base game.
