Oblivion and Fable are the two all-time greatest gaming disappointments. It's always weird to encounter the stans for either of those games, but at least none of them ever actually have anything significantly positive to say about them, it's always just about the time and place in their lives when they played it. Plus a generation of folks whose first Elder Scrolls experience would've been Oblivion, so they really just didn't know what was missing.

It's a bear! It's a cat! It's a bearcat! I just learned about binturongs, I had no idea these existed but they're rad as heck. They live in southeast Asia, grow up to 6' and have prehensile tales and are very playful.

Oh, yeah, and taking pretty screenshots.

EDIT - This is just a list of everything that popped into my head that is possible to do in-game for entertainment. Yes, some things overlap, some things are similar, some things are buggy. Point is that there's quite a bit more than just mining and delivering boxes and taking screenshots. It's far from a complete game and there's much more that CIG needs to deliver, but we should still paint the entire picture.

Of course we have the right to be pissed off and frustrated and critical about the lengthy development process, but for better or for worse, you can't get an experience like SC anywhere else and it's not looking like that will change in the future... If you find yourself getting emotionally over-invested and frustrated, it's time to take a break from following SC. Just unsub, and check back a year or so later.

And that last couple paragraph bits, that is what the "playable now" narrative does for you. Well played CIG, well played.

Hopefully one of these days the usual game review outlets will take their noses out of their asses and realize that not only this game is being marketed as a released game but it is also monetized to the teeth like one, and therefore needs proper reviews.

If you can get either of those to fit on a calculator, you can see that there is many more possible positions for something to be.

You know when you take a very small jpeg and expand it to be a really large image and it stretches? ‘Cause the bigger something is, the more “pixels” you’d need to keep resolution? Well, you want the ability to animate (move from one frame to the next) in a large area to not be once every few feet. You still want that fractions of inch resolution, even when in a giant system that’s millions of km high, wide, and deep.

Monthly Star Citizen Themed Goon Live Stream: Update

Thanks for all of the hilarious naming suggestions, I decided to call it "The Wring Commanders", which came from dieselfruit, to avoid making it too much of a deep cut. But, I'll be using some of the other suggestions for episode titles.

Our first episode will be next Sunday 07 February at 2pm EST. Saturday 06 February at 2pm EST. The first lineup will be Beet Wagon, Bootcha and me.

To start I'll just be streaming to Youtube via this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjSathRKrZFxNeDZQ0EJxsg/featured

Reminder: you all are welcome as guests in the future, just hit me up on Discord under the same username.

The concept of a civilization that intentionally builds itself around cyclic apocalypses and develops infrastructure specifically for that is interesting.

It's just computers aren't good enough yet. If they invented them with more flip flops in them than just 1's and 0's we'd probably see CRs masterwork today. But because humanity done hosed up... it's our fault.

Is there a handy phrase to describe the disinclination to believe something is a scam simply based on the ever-increasing audaciousness and obviousness of the scam? Like, "It can't be a scam, because if it were a scam it would be the biggest scam in the history of the videogames industry, and what are the odds of that?" "It can't be a scam, because if it were a scam they wouldn't be so bad at making it not look like a scam."? I keep thinking of "sunk cost" and "Occam's razor" but those aren't quite it. What do you call the tendency to believe a lie simply because it's such a big and obvious lie that you can't believe someone would actually have the balls to lie about it? Besides "The Republican Party"

The entire Sandi situation is one of the weirdest things in a company dominated by weird things. She's MIA for a year then suddenly starts posting about Star Citizen again. Like the only thing that would make sense is that she had a baby but why keep quite about that?
