We still telling war stories? My Grand-Uncle got put in a Norwegian concentration-camp and was later sent to Bergen-Belsen for being part of the Communist-resistance here in Norway. He died there and the really poo poo part is he wasn't actually part of the group, only friends with a couple of the guys. While he was a Communist he was also a cop and figured he could do more good in that job by finding ways to not follow orders to the full from the people in charge. There were people escaping to Sweden that he never reported among other things. Also, his wife, my Grand-Aunt stole a drunk German officer's cap while he was passed out at a pub. I hope I someday inherit that bastard thing cause it's become legendary in the family.

One of my grandfathers was an american soldier who got my uk gran pregnant during ww2. She was told by US mil that he had died when really hed gone back home to his american wife. We found this out about 10 years ago and he died weeks before my mum was travelling to meet him for the first time. I do not honor his memory.

The problem cultists have: if it's "unfair" to review a game that isn't finished, and never will be finished, then you have to review it as it currently is right then and there. You can't say "it'll be a GREAT game when it's finished!" because Chris said it will never be finished, it will always be iterated and updated. You also can't say "It'll be a GREAT game in another decade, you just have to give it time!" because that's giving it a free pass for the moment and still expecting people to pony up money. If a company gives a player poo poo, they won't take comfort knowing that in a few years it will be good, at least if they aren't a brain dead moron they won't. Think if professional gaming outlets (lol) held off reviewing games like World of Warcraft, EVE, or any other online game because they have planned expansions or content ideas years ahead, it's unthinkable. A game has to get reviewed sometime, and there's only so long you can put it off with excuses like "it's alpha", "it's baby pee-yew", "it isn't finished yet", etc. Atheist Sunglasses posted:i haven't checked this thread since this became it's own subforum but came in here today and listened to this with no context Like movie monsters, it's better the less you know about it.

My grandma was in a Japanese concentration camp in Indonesia while my grandad had managed to escape to Africa. My dads eldest brother was born in the concentration camp. The plan was apparently to put all the prisoners in a boat and then torpedo the boat, but just before this happened the bombs got dropped on Japan and they surrendered, so I probably wouldn't be alive had the nukes not been dropped. The Red Cross reunited them in Africa after the war, which was nice

My Grandad was shot and pumped full of morphine for the pain, where he was in Africa poo poo was hitting the fan big time and they used dead bodies as makeshift walls, like sandbags. My grandad was put into one of these walls, presumed dead. Then a few hours later someone notices his arm moving, they drag him out and he survived, got sent home.

For those who missed the latest Guard Frequency episode, they took a lot of listener feedback from the Derek Smart interview. And as usual, they handled it all in an applaudably even-handed manner. I suspect even the most devout members of the Faith Militant would agree that it was pretty balanced. They certainly included more than enough insults against Derek as a person and a game developer to satisfy the vengeance longings of the denizens of /dereksmart. Guard Frequency didn't read complete letters, just excerpts from a great many. The last quote in their medley was a short excerpt from the letter I submitted below. It's a bit sloppy (I wrote it on my phone in a rush), but I think it included some decent points. The caller feedback starts a little after 41 minutes in. quote:Your interview with Derek Smart came as quite a surprise to me. He is a lightning rod in the backer community and I hope you weren't electrocuted by holding on to it for 90 minutes. It took a lot of courage and I applaud you for it. I expect you've heard an earful about Derek's sins as troll and failings as a developer. We all have. How strange it seems that the claims of a supposedly irrelevant, mediocre hack have been given so much attention, yet so little scrutiny has been given to the claims of Chris Roberts. He is, after all, the man making the game we all wanted, right?

I'm actually kind of scared that CIG won't go out with a boom. What if they just lay off a hundred or so employees, consolidate into one or two studios, and just coast for a long time? Just kind of slowly fizzling out over a long period of time. Ugh. I want total collapse.

I really don't want to think about Shmorky's problems, I really enjoyed the Gaming Garbage videos he did with Lowtax so I'll try and remember him as that cartoon character escaped into the real world.

Remember guys, the guy responsible for ship balance is Calix & if he can balance the ships half as well as he balances his too-small fedora on his head the game is in good hands... Also: There was a family disturbance this weekend that precluded Cat Birthdays, so they've been rescheduled. Good think the fuzzy assholes can't read the calendar! Soooooo, two weeks on that. I've got the annual hats folded & ready to go.

My two grandmas were born 20 years apart, so I've got uncles on one side & a grandfather on the other who fought in the war. Literally on opposite sides of the war. My dad's dad died in WW2 & the Russians locked up my grandmas & infant father in a camp. Grandma & her brother both went to great (and terrible) length to keep my dad alive, but he's had a distended belly his whole life from the experience & grandma wasn't the most pleasant person right up until the dementia set in.

Why do people always say "open development!" in defense of SC? Open in the sense that they show off concept art sometimes and have a buggy tech demo? Or open in the sense that they just say "yes" to new features and call that a "sneak peek"? I really don't get it.

My granddads both survived the war. One fought in France and lost a leg back in 1940, then spent the rest of the war as invalid at home, married my grandmother and just kept working in the federal railway. The other fought as part of Volkssturm in Berlin in the very last weeks of the war, as he was doing "strategically vital work" as part of the, let's call it employment exchange. He, a party member since the earlier years, proving true that good things always happen to bad people, got back into work with the post-war employment agency and his old buddies. Both died in the early '80s.
