I would just like the Secret Service to know that I do not condone the kidnapping, imprisonment, and abandonment of a Presidential candidate.

Pff. Like they're not going to do that last bit so fast it'll create busing, frostbit, and really hurt feelings from the massive wind chill as they woosh out of the building, should the election show that there is in fact the sum total of at least one full brain divided among the US voting public.

Lazrin, you think you're sticking it up to the goons and that we all hate you and wish you'd go away. Personally the only thing that saddens me is that once this thing goes belly up you will never show your face around here again.

This is a bit disingenuous since none of us will, the thread will die and we will find new threads to peruse.

Yeah, where did he come from? Please don't say he was brought on salary for his plucky WC fanboyism. Honestly I've been playing video games for 25 years and I've never heard of Wing Commander outside this forum.

Same here I been playing games on PC since the TRS-80 with Empire and Hunt the Wumpus. I did hear of "Wing Commander", never played it because it looked boring to play when my friend showed it to me.

It's like the pictures AP posts all the time.
They are so bland that it takes me a few seconds to even figure out what's wrong with the picture. A mini game if you will.

Fun Stellaris story: I caused the first-ever Stellaris ragequit very early in its development, when ship construction was first put in and battleships had 3-day construction timers (when you put a first pass of a feature in, you often do stuff like that so it's easy to test). I made a basic AI that would colonize, build ships, declare war on anyone it encountered and try to glass their planets, basically just as a way of putting the game through its paces and looking for performance/stability issues. Cue our one our content designers trying to test an anomaly event chain when the AI suddenly declares war on him and sends a fleet of 400 battleships into his home system.

I ended up having to put in a limited AI mode that was on by default until more balanced numbers were in place.

What I like about Stellaris is when that NPC faction declares war on you and suddenly half your stuff is gone. But you refuse their terms and slowly grind them back into their own turf until they sue for peace.
And then you make them extinct. or if you are particularly annoyed you take their homeworld and leave them with whatever shiitiest planet they had a sole little bubble of color inside your sphere.

Meanwhile at the international community...

The new money discount for the SH and the confirmation about just ship talk at the Aniversary stream have been largely ignored or sold as good by the usual top cultists. On the other hand, the reactions to the latest ME:A trailer have shown extremely high levels of salt and I can tell detailed damage control planning went into it by a select group:

Top Cultist #1 wrote:

quote:

I just wanted to briefly mention that [ME:A] has been in development since Octobre-Novembre 2012 and it is going to be released in spring 2017. And the EA guys said to their shareholders that they are ready for a delay of up to 6 months if need be for the good of the project.

That is, 5 years of development just to make a single player in an engine they know inside out (Frostbite in DA:Inquisition), with an experienced team already set up years ago, with a universe imagery and art already done (even if they have now decided to leave the Milky Way) and with tons of money from day one.

Just wanted to put things in perspective... :D Maybe we will have a face to face competition between ME:A and SQ42 towards Fall next year.

Absolutely. We knew or could guesstimate those responses before the events based on very basic information that was already available. Besides, many of the bullets are interrelated.

But far be it for me to preclude you having fun. Do you, boo boo.
