Hey guys, constantly taking screenshots of the people you dislike and watching every single second of hours long livestreams of the game you hate to be able to land the perfect burn about some guys dinner is immensely hosed up. I mean its no surprise it happened in the friday night doxx e-stalking station (and all of this over a videogame), but come on.
Please, stop stalking people online 24/7, doxxing people, sending them death threats, masturbating to spaceships, loling about graphs all friday night. Please, for youre sake. I want the best for you all.

I think am past step one, admitting that I have a problem, but trusting myself into the Lord's care is kind of a big step for me.

Somehow hes still allowed to post while i get probated for calling you all out on how obsessive and creepy it is to spend months tracking peoples post histories on reddit and remembering their names off of sheer routine.
Please stop doxxing, sending death threats, jacking off to space ships drawn as humans (seriously?), and stalking people online.

I never doxxed, toxxed , or death threatened you good FYAD friend. I find your posting to be quite on par with most citizens. I think you are a true believer in the faith of Chris Bobberts Scam Shitizens. I'm going to.. pump, you! Up! Or something.

No see CIG figured it would be a good idea to poke fun at themselves , make some jokes get some laughs

Something other teams might do after they actually release a product

That's not even half of it. Whenever other teams do that, they tend to actually make fun of themselves, often referencing something silly they've done or some fan theory that took a life on its own — you know that guy who accidentally turned the server off, so obviously he's a plant from a competitor, let's make a funny clip where that's actually true.

But not CIG. Remember what this movie is: it's padding to hype up a demo run by two offices to show off a game addition that should have been out a year and a half ago. Yes, they're making fun of themselves, but why is it even in there? What purpose does it serve in the actual stream? It's not a gag — it's an over-long intro for an excuse segment.

Take your time do it right make whatever cuts or slices you need Cig.

Full support here. I have all the proof I need that this game is going to be awesome. I don't need some Vertical spoof as proof that progress is being made. In fact Redact everything about squadron 42 and just tell me when it's done. Because I know that everything Cig is doing is in the games best interest.

I know they want to deliver.

I don't want any spoils I want to play it with clean and fresh eyes.

It just amazes me that they're still being handed nearly $200k a day, even after the shitshow that was the holiday stream.

Though I suppose..
a. They were probably hoping the launch of 2.6 and SM would be bringing in more like 5x that.

Maybe it's all part of their master plan to ensure that Star Citizen will be the most award-winning game of all time. Every year that goes by with more hype/money poured into this and with even less to show for it, they'll win another "Biggest Flop" or "Most Disappointing Game" award! CIG will have to buy a new Restoration Hardware shelf to hold all of them!

CIG pushed out a patch on Sunday afternoon.
Not only did Chris cancel an early Christmas, but also the weekend.

quote:

Star Citizen Patch 2.6.0j Patch Notes

Updates:
- Added Player Animations to the Caterpillar’s pilot seat.
- Optimized a number of ships to fix Cockpit LODs and removed duplicate Physics Proxies.
- Increased Thruster HP to avoid easily losing the ability to Afterburn, Boost, and Maneuver.
- Adjusted Missile Timeouts and Lock Loss delays.
- Adjusted Freelancer Radar Globe position to not obstruct the player’s view.
- Adjusted Afterburner speeds.
- Added additional logging info to track down and squish Error Code 30008 Disconnect bugs.
- Added map location callouts for Echo 11.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue allowing the use of Grenades in Green Zones.
- Fixed an issue preventing the player from hearing FPS Weapon Sounds.
- Fixed an issue causing the Avenger Warlock’s EMP charge level to display for everyone.
- Fixed an issue resulting in the player returning to the hangar after choosing a different location.
- Fixed an issue causing Item Port interaction points to disappear.
- Fixed an issue causing the spectator camera to snap.
- Fixed an issue causing players to T-Pose while idle.
- Fixed an issue causing performance degradation due to physics related to destroyed ships and debris.

Fixed a number of issues with the new Front End UI:
- Port Category lists should no longer become out of sync.
- Port markers now properly deselect when focus is lost.
- Port Items now honor currently applied filters after being updated.
- Adjusted focus interpolation speeds.
- Made many visual tweaks.
- Fixed a number of client and server crashes.

At least Crusader is open again.

Chunks of the patch are missing, and 2.6 PTU somehow broke 2.5. Spending the weekend on a patch that only addresses minor issues must be demoralising. They have only just introduced additional logging to track down their biggest bug, so I don't have much faith that they will get it done by Christmas. They will likely have to push 2.6 to live, even if it is broken. Otherwise players will be stuck over the holidays with a 2.5 that doesn't even let them spawn ships.

I hope people go back and re-watch the "FULL SANDBOX OPEN UNIVERSE" demo from Citizencon 2016 and see how badly they're being conned. I thought anybody could see it wasn't gameplay- but now it should be apparent even to the backers. Shooting the sandworm and being all "eeeeeerrr, probably not a great idea"- he's shooting through the worm without it registering whatsoever! The worm's 'reaction' is scripted.

I love the starcitizen_homestead thing clipping in and out of existence and the immediate transition back into the prerecorded pull-away shot. "That's the first time that's ever done that" People aren't sure if to applaud because that's not an ending of any kind. But if that wasn't a giant red flag for people I don't know what else could help them wise up. That was until the livestream the other day.
