D_Smart posted:No, he's a loving moron. Just two weeks ago he was threatening to ban OSC because he claims that he was giving legal advice in the sub, though he clearly wasn't. And that was after this meltdown So when jester was handing out bans and deleting posts from anyone who said he had a financial motive for running r/ds, not only were they absolutely right but he was deliberately and dishonestly abusing his mod powers to conceal it from the nerds he was stealing from and encouraging to attack the warlord. Scams within scams.

kilus aof posted:So that's why Orcs and Golbins are Orruks and Grots now. Can't stop people selling Orc stuff but you can stop them selling Orruk stuff. I think they actually tried to copyright "spacemarine" decades after it became really common in all sorts of sci-fi. Dumb twats, the best W40K video game ever made was a mod for fallout 3.

We must return to the ancient traditions that connect us to the earth, the wood, the water, to the air, and our families and friends. Shut down your machine. Unplug your monitors. Tumble your TV's down into the ravine. Hurl your Xbox 1XPlusXSuperPlusXtreme in the tide for to rock and to roll along silent floors of the ocean. I can't connect with nature while the ravines all full of your trash.

alphabettitouretti posted:Even if it wasn't I'd question the wisdom of spending $12k on a coffee machine and hiring a barista using your crowd-funded money when the fantastically ambitious game you're supposed to be making is years behind schedule. That's not to say staff shouldn't have perks but there are more cost effective alternatives. It's not just cost effectiveness, coffee coming out of machines is always slightly skanky as you can never quite clean them properly (or trust lazy co-workers to clean them badly). A filter paper stuck in a plastic jug makes the best coffee and the indestructible jugs cost 13 francs 25 years ago. It's flashy, but crap. CIG all over really.

Dusty Lens posted:Place I was hired to work at had one of those old Starbucks auto coffee machines with the huge rolling filters. People were complaining to me when I first came on that it was kind of finicky and predisposed to slow pours of not amazing coffee. Just that, if I ever decide to drink coffee flavored with blue furry mold I'll have the one that's been growing behind my monitor.

Phi230 posted:No I love open worlds. And RPGs. Besides grog games those are the only games I enjoy. I just need a to be shown a step in the right direction Pick a minor (or even player) faction in ED and support it by doing whatever missions you fancy that are on offer from a central station where you can stash your ships and bits, that works for me. Or there's X3TC which got an update about 6 months ago, also grab the bonus plugin so you can automate trade ships and fit afterburners and other fun things. https://www.egosoft.com/download/x3tc/bonus_en.php

SpaceCurtisLeMay posted:I think that assessment is accurate. Elite got a new EP last summer and within 6 months and one of the first new features for Beyond announced was an actual clan/guild system and wing missions with the big addition later this year being fleet carriers. Something that the forum dads and I think Brookes was adamant about never having in Elite. Nah, it's David Braben who doesn't like the way guilds behave he described them as acting like Mafioso in an interview before launch. Before getting super excited and theorycrafting about it you should remember that players will always have the choice of not logging into open, so ED guilds are unlikely to satisfy the galactic domination itch if it requires inflicting dominion over other players.

Flared Basic Bitch posted:It’s a darkly humorous play on the concept of “termination with prejudice”. That makes sense and could well be the origin of the phrase for writers like Tom Clancy, but nobody doing life and death things wastes time and jeopardizes clarity with daft euphemisms.

Duckaerobics posted:Continuing book chat. I haven't really been able to get into any modern scifi, because everything seems like it is either porn, or written for teenagers. I usually just end-up reading some Dick or Vonnegut if I'm in a scifi mood. Does anyone have any recommendations for decent contemporary stuff? Neal Asher's good if you like space opera, Prador Moon is pretty short, is chronologically very early, introduces some of the main protagonists and is out in paperback. So it's not much of a waste of money or time if it turns out you don't like his stuff.
