By the way, you can stop sending me PMs with google maps satellite views of my house and street view of the entrance with comments such as "nice chainlink fence shitizen. you use all that money on the pledges?" and "I'm gonna murder your family". Also whoever posted my phone number, you're horrible.

Why do you keep faith in Chris Roberts?

I mean, the only good game he has his name on is Freelancer and that had to be salvaged by Microsoft of all lovely companies at the time. And it was good IN SPITE of him. He's a literal Manthumb with no cognizant understanding of how to make a good game. Or a game at all rather.

It's a great announcement! I know you might have been writing posts about why 2.6 may have broken things that were present in 2.5. Some of you may even have been wondering where 3.0 is, or even SQ42. Others may have been pondering why nothing we showed at Gamescom or CitizenCon, outside of the bland and broken Star Marine, made it to our end of year update, and the reasons for this are...HOLY poo poo LOOKATTHAT! CIG is "partnered" with Amazon and using their engine to do...what exactly?

In conclusion, CIG is a land of contrasts. Thank you for your time, and see you sometime in 2017.

To be fair the "Ancient technology is better then anything now" is a pretty well established trope, and it could make sense in the SC universe where people have apparently forgotten how to make the Roomba and computer controlled gun turrets. However it makes no sense when you've apparently still got the blueprints on file and can just start rolling ships off the production line again.

Also, as a side note I'd love to see a video game subvert the "powerful ancient technology" trope by... like having the big bad open the ancient super weapon vault and discover it held something like bronze cannons. Sure the were terrifying at the time, but what did you expect from some bronze age sheep fuckers?

Also keep this in mind:

- There isn't actually even a planet yet - just the image of one - therefore it is not landable, and probably never will be. The farthest they're likely to get is a "landing zone" which will have a loading screen and be an instance, not actually a place on the planet proper (since there is no planet proper).

- Similar to above, there are no true moons either. Since you can't land on anything, and the images are just placeholders, whether or not they are "procedural" is rather a moot point, aside from leveraging the word "procedural" in order to pry more cash from backers.

- The map has no bearing on the actual entities in the PTU (such as they are). The PTU is a space backdrop and some copy/pasted assets scattered around the map at particular coordinates. It's the most they could manage, and considering how poor a job it is, it's likely to remain that way indefinitely. Expect a few more copy/pasted stuff in that play area as proof of progress going forward.

- None of this will matter once we have subsumption, network 2.0, persistence 2.0, and more ship pipelines get refactored. Once that happens, the game will just gel out of the primordial components and then it's just a matter of days to reach every stretch goal. Completionist packages have never been a better deal than they are right now - remember, CIG said that they are just now starting to research how some of their assets for the past 5 years might be made to work. They're practically finished!

Such an intensely stupid game design concept so incompetently implemented had to have come directly from Chris.

First day of a new sale and free fly, following CIG's mic drop with the 3.0 schedule!



... what a damp squib.

If you go look at what's on offer for this sale, it's profoundly unexciting. The good stuff would probably still sell like hotcakes, but that trick won't work indefinitely -- even Citizens will eventually realize that they can't actually use 5 personal Javelins. So CIG has to keep that stuff in reserve and trot out these warmed-over leavings, but they're not even getting enough purchases to push them to the ~$100K daily breakeven point, on the first day of a heavily front-loaded sale, having had to incur huge amounts of technical/engineering debt (via the just-published production schedule) even to get to this point.

At Roberts Space Industries, we are dissatisfied. In the words of our illustrious original Chairman Roberts at the first Board of Directors meeting in 2068, “Complacency rarely leads to innovation. As scientists, engineers, and artists, it’s our job to be dissatisfied. We question, we analyze, we have that itch constantly gnawing at us that says ‘we can do better.’ I want that dissatisfaction etched into the foundation of the company so we perpetually push Humanity toward bigger and better things.”

That step towards Humanity’s future was cemented with the unveiling of the Quantum Core Engine technology in 2075. The Quantum Core allowed Humanity to explore the solar system with unprecedented speed. An achievement of this magnitude would be enough for most companies to settle, to become complacent, but RSI ignored that temptation.

Today, RSI diverts more funds toward its Research & Development division than any of its competitors, still trying to scratch that itch that says we can do better.

They stayed dissatisfied. They strove to do more.

Just getting to the part about the concert bombings last night in the thread.

To all the U.K. goons just know that in America we feel the anger and outrage the same as if it had happened here. We share more than just a language but also a deep friendship that goes beyond borders and an ocean. Your pain is our pain and I wish all of you the best in dealing with this.

I hope it's over, especially with the crowds of the FA cup final coming up soon. I hate to think there could be more of this senseless bullshit incoming for any of us. But just know that we have your backs. No ally will rest until we drive these assholes of the face of the planet.

Us northerners are stubborn bastards, if someone tries terrifying us and trying to incite hatred between groups of people we'll just say "gently caress that" and become closer to the groups we're supposed to be scared of.

Every place in the USA that is not New York needs to stop making pizza. You are all bad at it. Pumpkin spice does not belong on pizza. Neither does pineapple. If you can't make a slice that's good enough without piling gimmicky poo poo onto it, you shouldn't be making pizza. It's loving disgusting. Not all toppings are bad, but for gently caress's sake, you don't see people cramming random fruits and vegetables into other food items, stop doing it to pizza!
