Why are there so many random dots and lines that appear to serve no purpose??

Alright! This really deserves a lot of praise posted:

Best ISC. Hands down.

Finally progress on ship functionality rather than just more locations or visual effects, or QoL changes.
This was truly amazing.

The new AEGIS HUD doesn't just look great, It actually brings new (And REALLY needed) navigation tools. A compass, Indicated Altitude (As opposed to what we have right now: TRUE altitude), and even a general mapping of the terrain bellow. Dude! Now THIS... This right here is the stuff that puts a smile to my face.

And let's not even get started on the piece the resistance: The new Resource/power management system. Even if it's just a prototype... I ... FREAKING... LOVE it.
I absolutely love the concept and can't wait to see this applied to all our ships.

Oh and yes! Disco Lando... This year's Halloween special was SUPER cringy as well. But I had a good laugh. So thanks for going through it :slightly_smiling_face:

Amazing episode. Truly. We really needed that after the depressing roadmap update from last week.

Based on his last few months of posts I'm like 80% convinced he's on the way out the door, except- where could he possibly go?

Yeah there’s definitely an undercurrent of melancholy in his posts. I think he knows the score and that CIG’s days are numbered, and he’s just trying to ride this mess for all its worth. Making embarrassing videos for an audience of ~40k game dad simps about a stillborn MMO is the peak of his career. He has no useful talents or skills. When it all finally ends and Chris fucks off to a gilded retirement in the Cayman Islands, Lando will resume his rightful place behind the key making counter at Lowe’s.

I feel for him in a way, but he’s such a smarmy little twerp that it’s hard to have much sympathy for him.

Reading his Emmy award winning speech, I'm reminded of the size of the community/marketing team. Like everything in this project, it's stupidly bloated. I can't help but wonder how many actual developers could be afforded with that money.

But they have to keep pampering the whales and issuing these constant non-updates, and those have a cost.

Dark Souls is the one where if you go to blight town and die, they throw you in poison jail and you have to grind rats for 16 real-time hours or else just quit playing for the day, right?

so now you'll have hospitals, and a doctor/nurse profession, and when you get your leg broken you need to limp or get dragged or put on a gurney and wait for a doctor to help you, but maybe if you are too damaged you will clone your DNA, and they will clone you and the clone process could fail and you could be missing eyes or limbs

there is also now an inheritance tax? and it resets all your reputations kinda and you'll have to grind a lot of missions again and you might lose access to some ships or whatever dumb poo poo. also your body drops all of your weapons/ammo/loot/credits and anyone can loot you

this is a griefers wet fuckin dream lol

edit: also you only get a certain number of deaths?? account wide and they keep getting more and more expensive every time to create a new character. lol

It's even worse...not only does he have no clue what demons souls, dark souls etc. is (he obviously never played them), he only uses demon's souls because it's a PS5 title soon launching. He has no idea what soulsbornes are....this is so pathetic

Lando giving an Oscar speech for his video game marketing video is hilarious, and even more so because he tips his hat to Ben , infamous for being a huge piece of poo poo that had to be quietly shipped up-state to a farm so he wouldn't have any notable role on the project anymore.

It's the one where the death mechanics are extremely well thought out and incorporated into the gameplay such that death no longer becomes a frustrating failure, but an expected part of the process of learning a level, and results in eventual victories being incredibly fulfilling.

It's not for everyone, and that's fine - I need to be in a certain mindset to enjoy a Soulsborne game, it takes a lot of mental dedication. But just minimizing it to "grinding for hours to get better" is, well, wrong.

None of this is ever happening and everyone knows that. Same as every other time Chris is like "Hey let's make it so that if the player steps on the wrong tile on this floor, we come to their house and gently caress their mother in front of them, that's a good challenge for gamers to heighten tension, I played a video game once" and all the devs bob their heads like "Oh good idea sir!" and then go back to making exactly the same FPS mechanics as every other game.
