So I did this and got a bunch of people who look like they're from New Jersey, also fishing poles. Was it supposed to be penises?
Hmm.
So how do I purge my google history so I only get fishing poles?
Asking for a friend.

Turns out you need to google "Mike Rod Porn" if you want to see the fun stuff like mostly gay sex and penises.
I'm fairly certain the plural of Penis is Penii.
I did a Latin class once.
Either that or Dr Smart may have been arguing with people about this topic.
I'm not quite sure which is correct.
I now understand why tossing a coin is real.

Gah, you made me read tojal! I was scrolling up and reading backwards (probably makes more sense that way).
Did get one laugh out of it though, the statement that people do spite pledge, specifically against goons.
Now that is priceless. CIG really should give us a shout out on their next AtV or whatever, thanking us for helping with fund raising!

And yet on the other... eh... other hand it's not exactly expecting CInotG to carve tasks in stone if they missed the deadline for a huge chunk of them and keep missing them even ones that they've set a few months ago.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
|
[And here's the part that is giving me a religious experience- it is never, ever hosed up in a way that makes it fun. I sincerely believe this code is haunted by a malevolent spirit that actively wants you to not have fun. Nothing will ever work in the way you expect it to, and it will always be broken in the way that wastes as much of your loving time as maximally possible. If you were just going to dump out a broken lovely game, occasionally you'd get an infinite money dupe, or a "Steal NPC ships" glitch or something, but not in Star Citizen! Every bug is precisely and specifically calculated to drain fun from otherwise boring activities. What's more, none of the bugs ever get fixed, except the ones that might lead to you having some fun, like the Yela Drug prices. There was more gameplay over that drug lab in the span of a month than at any other time in the game's history and they loving destroyed it! One can only conclude that the evil ghost that thrums at the heart of this poo poo show doesn't consider anything that brings joy to be "Working as intended." It doesn't see it as a bug that the game will randomly murder you and throw away an hour of your time. But by god, don't you dare find a way to enjoy yourself, because the spiritual force that permeates every line of code in Star Citizen will make you regret it.
This is the most interesting part to me, and not only because it's true. It indicates something darker: that the developers, on some level, must know what they're doing. If they were entirely incompetent, their "fixes" would be as broken as the rest of their code, and there would be accidental fun to be found here and there. But when they see something people are enjoying, it's patched out immediately, and they succeed in closing off that avenue of pleasure on their very first try. Whether it's the aforementioned drug prices, or people messing with each other's ships, if it's emergent gameplay and it's giving people a moment of enjoyment, it's removed immediately, and without error. Which makes me wonder what the endgame here really is. I think it's a power fantasy. You'll play this boring poo poo the way we want you to - no jumping or running in the space stations. It's not just backers who think they'll be respected power figures who you'll beg to mop for, but the devs have that goal as well.

Gameplay Report: 3.5.1
My Mission: Legitimately try to make as much in-game money as possible. No loving around, just get it done.
Attempt 1: So I'd heard that there's a new cargo route similar to the "Drug run" you could do back in 3.2 or 3.3, this time involving... Neon? Not sure why stations around the Citizenverse need that, maybe Chris is trying to compete with Cyberpunk 2077. But basically it's a 10% or so profit margin and you can easily cram a half-million credits worth into the cargo hold of a Constellation so I figured why not- let's actually try to grind up to a million credits or whatever and buy ourselves an in-game spaceship. I still have not managed to actually achieve that, after a year of trying off and on. So anyway, wank pod, spawn Constellation, I realize my credits have been reset by the most recent patch so I only have like 20,000 on me. That's peanuts. I decide to do the "Destroy 3 satellites" combat missions for a while, because they tend to pay 6500 credits and offer literally no danger. If you do the ones at Grim Hex in particular, you don't even need to go anywhere. Just warp a short ways away, take another mission, warp back in and pop them. After an hour of listening to podcasts and blasting stationary targets (thrilling) I'm sitting at 120,000 credits which is enough for a single cargo run to net me more than double a combat mission.
I fly to Cellin and spend several minutes watching youtube to find yet another hidden base with yet another secret kind of cargo. See this is apparently going to be a thing with Star Citizen, I guess. None of the perfectly legitimate stations sell you gently caress all that is worth any kind of profit. If you want to make literally any money at all, you need to know that there are hidden bases on basically every moon in the game. How do you find them? gently caress if I know. Youtubers always seem to know where they are, so I just go there and watch them fly down to check the landmarks. That's the other thing about the hidden bases- you can't QT to them. All the other bases in the game, you select them on the map and you can warp within 20km. The hidden guys? You have to find those motherfuckers from orbit with no HUD markers whatsoever. Hope you brought your binoculars! Luckily I'm pretty good at terrain following after the stupid poo poo with the Yela drug labs, so I find this place on Cellin sooner rather than later, even though it's night on that side of the planet. Sure enough, they're selling Neon, the extremely illegal substance. I buy up 120k of it which is like, 1/10th of my cargo hold, and then fly to another base on the other side of the same planet that I hear likes to buy it at a good rate.
So far this has all gone entirely smoothly except for the part where combat sucked and the actual cargo run was literally hidden in the middle of an entire planet. But that's just bad video games- nothing has been truly Star Citizen about this yet. Until I land at the research outpost and go inside to sell my wares. They buy it! In the sense that "Neon" is on the list of things I can sell to them. But they won't buy mine. No sir. Transaction failed, every time. Now this used to happen all the time in the drug runs, and it was due to invisible demand caps- every couple minutes they'd tick back up and you could sell some more of your poo poo, but you had to sell less than their total demand or the transaction would just fail. So I'm not surprised that this bug in a fundamental system of the game is still in place, but I'm disappointed. I continue listening to those good good McElroy boys and trying every few minutes to sell my poo poo. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. How low is the demand at this loving place? So I ask on the server. Oh! Nobody knows. It apparently increments so infinitessimally slowly that nobody bothers to come here now. Great! I finally find the rate after fiddling. It is, I am not loving kidding, approximately 1,000 credits worth of product per minute. I would have to sit here for two loving hours just to sell the cargo that it took me 5 minutes to pick up. So I get into my ship and fly it out into the vastness of space to log out, hoping to find a server where nobody has touched that outpost for a couple hours. Naturally the persistent logout fails and when I log back in I'm in the wankpod and my Constellation is gone, along with all my money. gently caress!
Attempt 2: Not to be deterred, I try again the next day. This time I take my Gladius, the only other ship I own, out to do the initial combat satellite hunting missions and build up a big nest egg. This turns out to be an enormous mistake. With the Constellation I was just ignoring all the NPC's who'd spawn and kind of half-heartedly shoot at me, but now I'm in a light fighter and it is loving prime time on these servers. I get lit the gently caress up and have trouble finishing even one mission without having pieces of my ship blown off. Eventually I start to get into a groove but a literal actual player shows up, completely unnoticed by me because there are 15+ NPC targets swarming at any given moment, and pops me in a couple shots. He literally types in the chat "Nothing personal, kiddo- just business." I'm pretty sure he wasn't trolling with that. Like he actually thought that ambushing a player who's out ratting when you have a 16-to-1 numbers advantage is a stone cold badass maneuver worthy of some flexing in chat. Hokay. I get the Constellation back out of the insurance timer and come back but he's nowhere to be seen, so I am denied my sweet PvP vengeance. At this point I'm not really inclined to keep shooting these loving beacons, so I get ready to give up and call it a night for this poo poo show.
But! Someone asks in chat if anyone can help them ferry their dumb little mobility scooter Greycat from a nearby planet all the way to ArcCorp. I am feeling charitable, so I say sure and go down to pick them up. I should explain here- Star Citizen is very broken and very stupid. Recently a new bug came into existence where if you land on a planet and spawn a ground vehicle, your ship will despawn. And you can't spawn your ships from any of the stations that can spawn ground vehicles, anymore. So spawning any kind of ground vehicle is a way to instantly trap yourself on the surface of the planet forever. If you want to spawn one and take it to somewhere that it could actually be used- well, you need a second player's help. So I pick this person up and go AFK because the flight to ArcCorp is literally 15 minutes long and nothing will happen during it. We finally arrive, I warp down to the big space station in the middle of the big city, and land. This proves to be a terrible mistake. As soon as I'm landed, at the pad I specifically was assigned to, I get a criminal rating for "Obstructing the pad" and a bunch of warnings start playing about how my ship is blocking the landing bay and will be despawned. Okay, no trouble, I lower the elevator to let guy with Greycat off the ship and sprint for the elevators- only to be completely loving mowed down by security for the crime of, I guess, landing where I was told? I respawn at the ArcCorp wank pods, and buddy with the Greycat makes it to the elevators before their ship, and mine, are both summarily despawned. NO FUN ALLOWED MOTHERFUCKERS.
Attempt 3: So now I have a serious problem because I am stuck on loving ArcCorp. Not stuck in the traditional sense- I can spawn ships and poo poo. But it is goddamn next to impossible to get off of ArcCorp. The way Star Citizen works is that you're assigned to a wank pod at the last place you touched down on a pad, assuming it has any. ArcCorp's wank pods are located in the city center, and there is a no-poo poo five minute bus ride and wait, just to get back to the space station. But then you have to get one of the like 5 landing pads. And not die to any of the staircases. And it has to not glitch, and open the landing bay doors for you. And you have to be able to fly away from the planet without crashing. And if any of this fails, you will wake up back at the start and have to do the entire bus ride over again. It is a loving nightmare. Keep in mind this was the flagship feature of patch 3.5 and it is a complete tire fire that everyone tries to stay away from.
But, finally, I manage to get the Constellation back in the air and away from that awful place. I settle in for the 15 minute flight back to the other side of the system. I'm not going to start grinding again but at least I'll land somewhere safe and avoid even saying the words ArcCorp ever again. I finish my long, long jump, just in sight of Port Olisar- and the game hard crashes to desktop. I log back in, and wake up- in the ArcCorp wank pods again. I log out.
-----------------------------------------
Summary: I've written genuine impassioned negative reviews of this game. I've written weird distopian hellscape fiction of this game. I've pretended that I really like the game and am just thrilled by the rear end-reaming that I am taking every time I log on. I've kind of run out of ways to capture just how much poo poo this entire experience sucks. It sucks all the poo poo. It is amazing. It is the Faces of Death videos, if they were a video game. It is a horror show for sociopaths and sick sad basement shut-ins, and it haunts me. Every feature is broken. No matter how big or how small, every single one. So many of them are almost the kind of experiences you would expect from, say, a bad video game like Big Rigs Racing. But Star Citizen hates you. The game is fractally broken. It is hosed up at the macro level, but every individual piece of that hosed-upness is itself also broken. And here's the part that is giving me a religious experience- it is never, ever hosed up in a way that makes it fun. I sincerely believe this code is haunted by a malevolent spirit that actively wants you to not have fun. Nothing will ever work in the way you expect it to, and it will always be broken in the way that wastes as much of your loving time as maximally possible. If you were just going to dump out a broken lovely game, occasionally you'd get an infinite money dupe, or a "Steal NPC ships" glitch or something, but not in Star Citizen!

Can someone give me the cliff notes of the game's universe?
I mean, Squadron 42 seems to be some big battle against.... Someone? And in the SC universe people shoot down satellites like they're cleaning the yard, but insurance companies are willing to completely replace whole spaceships like it's nothing. Meanwhile transport takes ages, but spaceships are broken down to a sub-molecular mist for storage and rebuilt in the bat of an eye...
What's up with it?

Woah, that's some hardcore shilling in those links.
As for Tojal's post, someone demand proof and if he can't declare victory and do a victory lap. That's what happened when i dared to suggest something without proof and couldn't be arsed searching for a source to back up my comment.

Imagine writing this many words about a video game.
There are some games that merit that much text. Hell, some of the Yakuza games need that much just to recount the storyline in detail. However, Star Citizen is not a video game, and only deserves that much text to detail the myriad ways in which it is a complete dumpster fire of incompetence, greed and stupidity.

One can only conclude that the evil ghost that thrums at the heart of this poo poo show doesn't consider anything that brings joy to be "Working as intended." It doesn't see it as a bug that the game will randomly murder you and throw away an hour of your time. But by god, don't you dare find a way to enjoy yourself, because the spiritual force that permeates every line of code in Star Citizen will make you regret it.
Godly post. Please keep playing and writing these reports. This is the most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had with Star Citizen

So, some of you might have seen, i started a new thread on the SC sub.
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/c17mtk/what_is_your_estimate_for_the_commercial_release/
I went with commercial release to (try and) avoid any ambiguity and handwaving about "what is release anyway?", but regardless, some still tried that tactic.
The hard downvoting on my comments is amusing, especually if you read them and can see i'm being super friendly and polite.
Its nice to have a thread without Tojal et. al. jumping in to call me a troll. I mean, they might be, but i can't see it, so if they are, they are ragining impotently. I'm sure they are getting upvotes for their efforts though. 
What I wanted to see is how attitudes have changed, if at all.
Unfortunately, its a small sample size.
Results:
3 didn't answer the question and instead either went off on a random tangent or avoided the answer.
2 said they didn't expect CIG to do any sort of commercial release and to continue development with the pledge system
1 said 2 years*
2 said 4 years
1 said 6 years
* - in cases where people gave a range i took the upper value, since this is CIG we are talking about, its probably more realistic.
Well, we can't really do any sort of real analytics with that unfortunately, but we can compare with previous threads which one kind redditor provided links to:
This one is from 3 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3xmqau/what_do_you_think_its_a_plausible_release_date/
Some comments there to put a wry smile on your face from it will be released next year to 2 years away.
One golden comment here:
quote:Most games of this scope take 5-7 years
I wonder if that person is now saying most games of this scope take 9-10 years
One guy broke down what he expected and when, and was badly wrong. He said 2017 for more missions for SQ42, while totally failing to mention SQ42 release... maybe he believed CR when he said that SQ42 just required a bit of polish.
Not one person guessed that it would still not be released by 2019.
Next thread from 5 years ago (so much optimism): https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1zo04n/possible_release_for_sc/
Most upvoted comment linked this: http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_Release_Schedule
Which doesn't seem to be there anymore... fortunately, thanks to the wayback machine...
https://web.archive.org/web/20141123153041/http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_Release_Schedule
Some golden moments in there about the PU...
quote: Approximate date: End of 2015(a minimum of 4 months after the first Squadron 42 chapter is released.)[3][28][29][21]
Expected some time after all 50 Squadron 42 episodes have been released.
All 50 episides of SQ42???
The last snapshot before it was wiped was in July 2017: https://web.archive.org/web/20170713101311/http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_Release_Schedule
At this point badly out of date.
quote:Star Citizen
Approximate date: End 2016.
Star Citizen will feature a persistent universe
Back to the reddit thread...
Most pessemistic prediction: 2016-2017, with several saying early or late 2016.
Oh my, such halcyon days!

Big question: why do you even NEED a hangar with a smaller ship in it? You're in space. It's a space ship. There's lots of space in space. What is the utility here? Do you sometimes want to leave behind your good ship and fly a shittier ship? Is it a very expensive escape pod?
I believe it's the addiction of having some kind of pocket carrier deal, which implies you are the captain of some fleet. So you have all your role play fun on your big ship then go off to have your pilot(s) defend you or do stuff and come back to home base and do further stuff that is ???
