So they can't show anything new as Chris Roberts has to show it first to everyone, to the press who aren't allowed to talk about it until after the Games Com presentation thing. (though sometimes the press have published something early in the past).

"we have two key binding sheets! games change so we aren't idiots, we just didn't prep for this!"

"hey, is that Tony?? Hi tony!!!"

BONUS-

-callouts to other people standing near to Lando
-throwing things
-describing upcoming stream content
-explanations for broken/missing features
-goalpost relocation
-talking about anything but SC

Free Flight is back on for Gamescom.

I know there was at least one person who wanted to try out this poo poo show but couldn't download the client before it expired. Well you are in luck, you can play in full HD glory the game that caused a paid shill to delete his stream after endlessly whining about how lovely it is. A game that caused a popular youtuber with more subscribers than the number one fansite to stop updating out of sheer boredom. A game that is literally killing the head community manager from stress eating.... Star Citizen. So put down that copy of No Mans Sky and try out a real game, a game with nothing to do but stare at lovingly rendered spaceships.

So they're showing 2.4 now, but have keyboard cheat sheets for both 2.4 and 2.5. I guess they expect to be able to patch it to 2.5 overnight or something?

That sounds like a great idea.

Someone said that it's press-only today, which makes it an even greater idea. Show the “journalists” something that works, so they can at least (incorrectly) write that… well… it occasionally works. Then let the public play a later version so as to be able to spin the story as “…but development continues and we're beyond those bugs that the first-day people wrote about”.

Why would they need two sheets, though? Are the keys hard-bound in the code so that they can't make it consistent between the two builds? Even if (lmao) the new version adds things that you could do with your ship, there's no reason not to just note that on the sheet or have handlers at hand who can explain to the uninitiated that this bit will come tomorrow.
