There's so much goodness here, but the thing that really sticks out to me is the comment about the ship not having any mass. It's true as gently caress. Just looking at those videos, you're literally a ball turret gunner. That's all that the ship is. It has no mass to it, no feeling of weight, nothing but floaty bullshit. It's a skin you're wearing for FPS targeting.

There was a "stir" about it. The gift cards are now "fixed". lol

And there were people defending the 20% cost added.

I was just thinking that since most of this stuff is handled client side it's going to be hilarious when people are spawning $2500 ships for free.

Rajafa doesn't actually understand what Runsamok is saying and it's funny how he keep hammering on what are essentially truisms and trying to hold them up as logic with regards to statistics. Also kind of sad, but mostly funny.

That's VAT for eurogoons. I never bought giftcards from the US so I don't know if this is normal policy or not but (assuming they are filling VAT tax) CIG only keeps the base value.

Friends, don't forget to pick up your free Steam keys for Omikron. It's not a perfect sci-fi game and there's no space combat, but it's interesting and fun and has a soundtrack by David Bowie. Also it actually exists and was published, unlike SC.

It's EU-only. :argh:

Well I was going to celebrate reaching the end of the thread with an effortpost about how Sid Meier predates all the early day developers the thread was shifting on, and also lasted (and continues) longer in the industry while spawning several celebrated careers.

But gently caress it, I'm phone posting so instead have a blog post by civ4 lead developer Soren Johnson. It's applicability should be obvious.

In that comment thread Rajafa is doubling down on the "Derek Smart is a monkey" line again.

Now, it appears that racists calling black people "monkeys" is more common in Europe than America. This is mostly because racist Americans are somewhat more likely to be conservative and Christian and the idea of even obtusely reinforcing the theory of evolution is anathema. But it takes a special kind of stupid to think that people outside of Europe won't understand the inference when you call a black person (even a mixed black-Lebanese person) a monkey.

The gently caress are you talking about? Calling a black person a monkey is very obviously a racist insult everywhere, we're not drooling morons this side of the pond. He's just a racist homophobic rear end in a top hat who doesn't give a poo poo.

Seriously. I popped on and flew a Retaliator the other day and it was super noticeable. That thing is supposed to be what happens when a B-17 fucks a nuclear submarine, but it was just kind of sliding around like I was using a free-look spectator camera or something. There was no indication that I was in anything big.
