Okay so I know it's already been said, but what the hell? Why are they doing catapult procedures for a hovering ship? There's no gravity, you idiots. There's no ocean. You do not need to reach minimum airspeed in order to avoid crashing- you can just float out of the bay. Also I like the part where they order the ship to throttle up while in a hover and somehow the magic air brakes keep it still on the deck.

There's atmosphere and gravity or those Poser models scurrying about in the nude wouldn't make sense

I just love that this is the loving footage they make for their backers, they must truly hate them

I haven't. What kind of beer is it?

It's the result of the 3/11/2011 earthquake in Japan also striking Hitachino's brewery. They had a new mash just before the quake struck. The damage led to a 3-day power outage, and the casks of mash were all tilted at an angle, so the mash entered spontaneous fermentation. I think the original intention was a witbier, but what they wound up with has the look and feel of a sour Flemish red ale. The brewery was able to make 8,000 bottles of this disaster beer -- it's pretty interesting if you like the sour style. Spicy, sweet n sour, with some red fruit tang. It's pretty cool that the brewery was able to claw something worthwhile out of their misfortune.

Yeah it definitely makes more sense to have five guys sit around getting ready to take a face full of plasma exhaust.

I still stand by my opinion that the most convincing spaceship launching from a spaceship sequence is Vipers launching from a Battlestar (remake series, original was goofy since they "turbo boosted out"). Fighter gets put into tube, Airlock is closed behind it, then a catapult hurls it into space to provide it with it's initial momentum.

A bunch of rando dudes prancing around and doing stupid dances is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's Spaceballs level of silly, but trying to be serious.

The only good thing about it is it reminded me of the greatest Goon spacegame video ever made.

I always find ideas like this pretty interesting. Reminds me of Lambics, since I'm assuming it was wild yeast and other bacteria that did the fermentation, right?

It might taste like poo poo, but its kinda neat that "raising" some native yeast and making beer with it could have wildly varying results, which could include vinegar, I guess.

Yes, the mash was 'infected' by wild strains of yeast and bacteria. It doesn't taste like poo poo, fortunately! The brewery is almost certainly full of airborne fermenting bugs thanks to all the beers they make, so their colonizing microbes were well-suited to the task of making something drinkable.

Weeeell this is sort of true, but lest we forget that homophobic slandering was very common in roman politics, so clearly there were some notions that homosexuality wasn't the most honourable thing a good citizen should dabble with.

From various leaks Sq42lude has only human involved. Apparently the Vandull characters where made to the wrong scale compared to the levels, so they have to redo/adjust all of the mocap where they appear.

If they maintain the current funding/produced material ratio you will have to wait another 4 year for the next chapter of Crobberts 60M$ mocap magnus opus.

Also why do games bring out the worst in people?

People who self-identify as 'gamers' are the types of people who define themselves by virtue of the types of media they consume i.e. awful people, and people who can afford to spend 10 hours a day gaming are either sheltered NEETs who don't need to conceive of a world outside of their mother's basements or else literal children, neither of which are groups that spend much time attending to understanding the struggles of others because self-absorbed navel-gazing is their limit of understanding of the human condition.

When the boundaries of your worldview are constrained to the point where your primary motivations are getting enough chicken tendies and mountain dew to fuel your next gamer sesh; a Brobdingnagian struggle that few others appreciate, then women who complain about equal rights are just whining oval office slut whores who wouldn't gently caress you in High School anyway, and those uppity browns and fags blocking the freeway made you late getting home from work at Best Buy so you missed your raid, the pricks.

this was hands down one of the worst AtV's they've put out in a long time. Under 20 minutes, almost entirely recycled content, that dreadful SQ42 footage (also recycled), Steve Bender looking like he just wants to end himself, and almost no information about the live-stream next week. And this was the "season finale". lol.

Hopefully they have some big showstoppers for the livestream next week, but it's not really characteristic of CIG to be so tight-lipped if they had something cool to show. They're treating it like it's an extended RtV or something similarly low-profile.

Unsurprisingly the episode is leading to some reflection on the year at large.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5h9caq/is_that_all_this_week/


The end of the year livestream can't go without a bang. SM alone is not going to cut it. I would legit be surprised if CIG does not show some kind of demo/video about SQ42 or similar. After all they were almost there a couple months ago... right?

Carrier deck operations in a space ship is pretty silly. I'm pretty sure the ships would just be ejected out via some automated contraption. Whether that be torpedo tube style, flinging them out of a wider bay, computer controlled departure, or something even more innovative, invoking modern aircraft carrier launching procedures just shows an absolute and complete lack of imagination.
