What do people mean in chat when they say 'it took me a half hour to set this up'. I've seen it in old chat complaint threads and on reddit to. What are they 'setting up'? I keep imagining some kind of steampunk engine that slowly spits out a ship or something idgi

It took them half an hour to load the game and get to the ship without it crashing?

mission success

I love how pissed off these people get when they're "interrupted" in a game that otherwise has nothing to do. These people should be thanking us for giving them purpose, and an emergent metagame involving actually getting into their ships and taking off while people actively try to stop them.

These people imagine themselves as heroes of the galaxy; "browncoats" or whatever pop-culture sci-fi detritus they've latched onto, but not if another player opposes them - just NPC enemies, and even then only if they choose it. Protip for the backers: if all this was real, you'd be the first people dead.

Yeah. It doesn't really matter. It's smashed avocado. The most important additional ingredients (not counting salt), to me, are cilantro and cumin, but it's completely up to taste. gently caress it. Just go with it.

Food chat is ruining my ability to catch up. Cumin is a pretty much must have in guac for me. If you get adventuress you can make Colombian guacamole which is blended not mashed and has chilli powder and garlic and is used as a topping for meat like grilled steak. Awesome.

To all newbies, welcome to the SomethingAwful forums.

Don't make "there's a front page??" jokes unless you're doing it as an excuse to give Lowtax another ten bucks or something.

Feel free to shitpost anywhere else if it interests you though. There's let's plays, CYOAs, pictures of pets, recipes, and also the usual forums chatter. Too many people only really hang around for like this one thread and miss out on basically everything else. May as well get some value out of those :10bux:.

With how long it takes to stay on top of this thread, I don't know how anyone has time to read anything else. I went drinking last night and missed the Fuzzy Modem saga, so I'm currently 30 pages behind and trying to gain some ground before I have to go to bed.

3. No trolling. Do not post messages specifically intended to get a rise out of others. We know there's an impulse to do it, but it doesn't contribute to the community, it tears it down. Your responsibility as early pledgers is to help form a great community, not to endlessly frustrate those who come later. Included, but not limited to:

7. Do not argue with the moderators while they are acting in their official capacity. If you have an issue with a moderator and feel that you post flags have gone unexamined, send a forum PM to the Staff/Lead Moderator Patrick (@pixelpicker) with ‘MODERATION REQUEST’ as the opening line of your PM. Be aware that we will examine your entire posting history and will act for anything against our rules. Contacting the administrator is NOT a ‘get out of jail free’ card. Do not start angry threads or derail existing threads because of moderation.

This was definitely a desperate cash grab, they really showed people how bad it REALLY is by doing this. I would of loved to of been a fly on the wall during the meeting where the higher up's are telling whoever is in charge of billing to start auto-charging people who WERENT EVEN THE ONES SCAMMING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yeah, basically.

I love the fact that a game that I've been following for 4 years and was made completely by one dude (a really awesome dude) is coming out at the end of the month and even though it's a pixelart harvest moon/animal crossing inspired game (Stardew Valley), will have more content than a game that so far has cost 100+ million dollars and has taken 4+ years to get to it's current state (and most likely, any future state). It boggles the mind. I'm like, Frank Grimes going over to the Simpsons for dinner losing it right now.
