Speaking of other things that are much better than anything Chris Roberts had ever done, I watched the first season of the Expanse and it was pretty great. Gripping (if not terribly original) plot, well-thought out setting, memorable characters, good visuals and music and distinctive designs (for the budget anyway). I haven't read the books but I read some other things by Daniel Abraham and he seems to be a talented writer.

Now imagine if someone got $130 million to make a hard sci Fi game but hired competent managers, developers, artists and writers. It could be an Expanse game with a fancy flight model and a single player component with an engaging main quest and tragicomic side quests, like the Witcher 4: In Space. Instead, Chris Roberts, developer and producer extra-ordinary, is producing some hoorah third rate space Roman Tom Clancy wannabe poo poo. Actually who's a good comparable for what SQ42 is supposed to be - some hack churning out US military thrillers twice per year? I can't think of names off the top of my head.

Most of the Expanse setting and backstory was originally developed by Ty Franck for a failed MMO (so failed, it was never even announced), and he then used it as the setting for some tabletop RPG games he ran, which is where Daniel Abraham encountered it and suggested they write some books together in that setting.

Can someone tell me the story behind this gif?

Way back when we only had the hangar and the buggy someone found a way to turn on the movement in the spaceships. Someone made a video of it, then I made that gif from the video.
Are the ramps still in the hangar module? They put in poo poo for the buggy to jump over and through before they got spaceships working, then someone found noclip I guess and the rest is history.

Talisker. Nice half-way between the peats and the highlands.
My favourite for a standard is Old Pultney, really lovely dram from the northernmost distillery in Scotland. Smooth and quite light but with a ton of complexity that emerges if you give it a moment to taste.

If you are referring to real cheese and not babbys first crap then yes.

For example this stuff is from a town not far from where I'm from and is awesome.



Some sharp American came by and found the place. And basically bought out the entire supply for years in a contract. So the locals are a little miffed.

Unsinkable


30,000 check? I'm guessing that's an award to somebody, or it's a personal check from Chris Roberts to Star Citizen development. Which would be hilariously narcissistic, since his hugely over inflated salary comes from donation money as it is.

If it's a cash prize to some random backer, please have it include the names of the users who donated towards game development but it actually just got forwarded to this totally random user; because he doesn't value your money.

There is not a good, smart outcome to have a 30k check anywhere when your entire well being is based on donations. Even if it comes from the "personal wealth" of somebody employed there who is paid by backers. If they have that much to blow, they're getting over paid.

Good luck with the stream! I hope people will post high lights here. I won't be able to watch it.
