Hey DigitalMocking, learn anything interesting from your latest webstats? Most curious if you had any interesting visitors or referrers. Hit count would be nice to know as well. Not expecting radical numbers but am curious a ballpark of visits. If you have a google analytics graph of it it would be just as interesting.

I really find it interesting that it seems like the Reddit mods blocked upvoting on the main article. It still shows 0 on my Reddit-- yet over 180 comments means engagement was high. Curious how it would've fared if mods hadn't kneecapped it- but knowing the governor they put on it, traffic was semi-decent when last you updated us. (Better than it would've been had it stayed in thread.)

Thanks, man!

Yes, it's filtered a bit to keep him a “cartoon persona” rather than some clearly identifiable “that guy”. James is the more public face of the team and is and identifiable guy, largely because it's part of his job. He does some kind of game design consulting and a lot of public speaking on the topic. He's reasonably well known and hiding him doesn't serve any purpose.

If you look for some of their other videos (notably the gameplay ones), you can hear what he actually sounds like.

I had literally never heard of this game at all until, I think, last month. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen - I literally can't comprehend donating tens of thousands of dollars for a ship that they just want to simulate the mundane. It breaks my brain every time I try to make sense of it.

Aww, that's cute, you think there are actual ships. Ask to see a (insert non-implemented ship here) in game.

Yep, plus this is a game where what a ship even is changes with every patch or "redesign". This is such a blatant gently caress you to backers. To the point where people on the RSI forums simply refuse to believe it's happening.

I gave Harebrained money because they went above and beyond to earn my trust with the Shadowrun kickstarters. I'm not a hugely familiar with Mechwarrior outside of LPs, but it looked interesting and I trust Harebrained to put out a solid product, so I figured it was worth a shot.

Am I understanding this unmelt token thing properly?

The original plan was that stor credit could be used, then there was a miscommunication and turbulent implemented it incorrectly so that only cash could be used. Ben promised a fix was in the works and now people get one use unmelt tokens?

Does anyon have the screenshot of bens promises?

Pretty sure you nailed it. And that "miscommunication" took many many weeks to "correct." And by "correct" I mean "Given one unmelt token and told to go gently caress themselves after they'd used it, even if they'd melted thousands of dollars worth of ships in order use "credit" to get back things they'd melted previously."

Add Turbulent to the list of retards that can't competently do what CIG tells them to do, just like Illfonic couldn't. Or anyone. Not CIGs fault. Even if CIG hired them to do supervised work that they paid them millions for, still not CIGs fault, just means they're sneaky and liars and managed to pull one over on old crobberts. Doesn't at all mean that he's an out of touch mush mouthed retard that's incapable of directing his vidya game properly.
