Hello Stimperial Shitizens! Did you know there is SC fanfiction out there (that isn't written by goons)? Well, there is! Some of it even comes in poetry form!

This loving Guy posted:

I stand on the deck in the void of deep space,
And yet my frame does not feel cold.
My flight suit, the stars, the glow of Vega,
I just stand and watch things unfold.

Deep in Kurasawa, beset by vanduul,
From our homeworlds we are all far.
And yet I don't feel cold, nor feel alone,
Because I'm bathed in the light of the stars.

Space looks the same, there's no proper sun,
No atmosphere filtering rays.
But way out here, in the depths of space,
I'm content to spend all my days.

The author has a colossal profile, dwarfed only by his Fanfiction Wiki page. (RIP your scroll wheel.) "Does he have My Little Pony poetry?" I hear you ask. "Of course he does, you fool!" I reply. He's also written possibly the worst super scary Missingno. fic I've ever read, and I have read a few.

Unfortunately (?) there are only five fanfics on FF.net and a paltry one on AO3. Most of them are tedious, poorly written, but more than anything, bland. I'm tempted to dig up my old FF.net trolling account details and submit the Heartbreaking Truths of the Fourth Stimpire but :effort:

I don't have the cojones to search Adult Fan Fiction for SC... yet.

Pet me.
If I understand correctly, Chris Roberts has gone on the record and said Freespace (1 or 2) was not his favorite?


I seriously don't get it, because when I was a kid, I was absolutely enthralled by the storyline of 2, because it was about humanity learning from the mistakes of the 1st game, and thinking they were more than prepared in case their greatest enemy from the 1st game ever returned, and if you keep playing till the end, it makes it real clear that you never had a chance to begin with, and it's not about matching your opponent, but cutting your loses.

Freespace deserves a continuation.

Someone with a RSI forums account need to post a heart breaking sob story about his best friend/brother/father who also was morbidly obese and then was taken from him after a long struggle and having his legs amputated because of diabetes. Make sure to point out that being a fatass is a serious disease and that the people effected deserve all the sympathy and respect for their hard struggle and the cruel fate they were dealt.

I realize that's a ways back. Does this plugin require you to grab it in real time or are the chat logs embedded in twitch somewhere and extractable after the fact?

Actually looks like CIG went out and purged some of the classics since last I checked. They probably read about some of the gems we turned out while dumpster diving and had them removed... Stuff like tattoed Ssndi's 'feral viper' audition blathering looked pretty bad in the post-Escapist landscape. Too bad we downloaded that stuff already!

Yeah, nah that's too far back. I'm using this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rechat-for-twitch/ipplilmaapjjklilmmaccfemdmhkoacd?hl=en so it can be grabbed from vods, but I have to sit there with the stream muted if I want the entire log.

Being that obese does so much horrible nightmare poo poo to your body :smith: I come from a "big" family and my Granny dying at 70 (a very young age for a well-off white woman in Australia) of illnesses directly caused by and exacerbated by her weight was what made me decide to actually get in shape and Eat Good. In the last few years of her life she was basically unable to walk unaided and it was so obvious how painful that was for her. Sandi is a huge shithead for taunting Ben and co. like that. That was where my last shred of sympathy for her evaporated.

Is it just me or was Lando giving the audience the "listen to her loving bullshit" look as Sandi was telling her story about the photographer starting around 23.39?

The timing of that look and when Sandi started telling the story couldn't be a coincident surely.

By the same logic, most of this thread is debunked because most of the posters aren't game developers, and don't have the background needed to critique SC.

There are plenty of groups like QA testers or focus groups that help with a game's development by testing and critiquing the various aspects of a product. (And they don't create poo poo)

And the problem with LoD's visuals isn't that they're not ~high fidelity~ it's that they look like the best graphics of last decade, not modest graphics of this one. The idea of "graphics aren't everything!" is a battle that's already been fought. There are plenty of indie games with modest graphics that don't look ugly. You needed a different art style.

Because that demographic aren't fickle. That's why flight combat sims are still around and making money for those making them.


First, I don't have employees. I never did. Everyone who works for me, some for over a decade, are paid contractors (individuals or entire studios).

Second, I don't see what paying contractors have to do with the quality of work. After all, I'm the one who gets to sign off on everything.

Third - and this is the part where you pay attention: unless you've actually created something, you won't know the first loving thing about priorities, sacrifice and common loving sense.

Every time I see some rear end-clown talk about "visuals" in my game, I just chuckle. This despite the fact, for almost three decades now, those who know me, know that I have always put game play dynamics over visuals. Having the best visuals never - ever - guarantees a good game. Let alone one that has any replay value.

For every 1 person who knocks the visuals in any of my games, my guess is there are 10 more who don't mind it. Can't please everyone and I don't care to try.

People who can't create, critic. That's how it goes. That stuff doesn't bother me because, well, I get to do what I want to do (make games) on my own loving terms. All day. Every day.

Contract me and I'll fix your visuals. Won't even take over a decade.

Yeah, that's largely a poo poo argument. You can say an opinion holds less weight without being an expert in some field, but that argument is just an attempt to completely remove the possibility of criticism outside of it being from a chosen group.

It's like watching old-school PS1/N64 games that were once considered graphical marvels at their time and them comparing them to the best of the SNES and the later wins hands down nowadays, just because their style worked with the limitations of the console. It was really not until the PS2 was well established that you began to see modern games that had timeless good looks.

LoD looks ugly as sin not because the engine sucks but because the art style is ugly as sin.

Well sure, if I want to check if Stephen Hawkings' theory on black holes hold up, I would ask an expert in the field and not the gasstation attendant down the street.

But a creator disregarding the opinions of consumers because they are just that; consumers and not creators?
