You probably think that's funny, but the only people who are going to keep supporting this game to any degree after release will be the ones who appreciate a platform that lets them easily mod in their own lovely homegrown yiff gypsies to use on erp servers for only fifteen twentyish bucks.

I think it's funny

"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."

Bitter Beard posted:

I don't understand the anger at the devs all of a sudden? Did they make fun of Goons or tell them they were not special fat pancakes or something?

When did the attitude change that everybody thought the game was going to turn into poo poo, I think I missed that meeting.

If you look very carefully you'll see all the negative shitposting is about 5 people. Goons don't hate Starbound - a small group of goons have taken it upon themselves to make it look like that.

Nah it's because there's nothing to shitpost about. Because the game is still in beta after a massive pre-order launch a year or two ago.

Its been ten months, but it's amusing that it seems to inflate by a year in people's perception every month or so.

not to mention the two years of work that was done before release. what we have right now is 2 years and 10 months of effort.
but dont worry there is a patch coming REALLY REALLY SOON so we can see what amazing things they've be able to do in that 10 months.

We say you took four months off to move your team to London to root around in trash cans, you say you're hard at work every day, whatever. We use hyperbole, you lie through your teeth, neither side is fully trustworthy, it doesn't matter because nobody follows the thread.

I mean, a normal person could literally see the progress on the website and test it themselves every day if they didn't believe it was happening. But on the other hand, it's way less effort to insult the developers and angrily poo poo post in the thread.

So obviously, you can see the conundrum here.

end of the 4.5 tatami age

Hello, and welcome to Let's Play Starbound with me, Oddium. The LP rules say to wait six months until after a game has come out, but Starbound isn't technically out (??) so I figured it would be okay here. Okay let's go !! :spooky:

Chapter One:


I'll be playing as a Super Sentai girl with Hellboy's Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan fires really slowly but I manage to kill this Bulbasaur.


Then it starts to rain and I mine some coal.


The coal leads to a cave with nothing in it.


I don't know what I'm supposed to do so I go back to my ship. It turns out I need :gowron: 1000 pixels :gowron: and something called a fragment core (x20)


My quest book says to make a crafting table so I craft up some wooden planks to make one. But you don't need planks. You don't need any wood. You need pixels. :effort:


The only way to get pixels seems to be to grind them out. Well we head back down and fight the other Pocket Monsters on this planet, which actually do attack. They hit very hard but I've got the GS on my side.


A lot to go over here. To the right is some sort of pagan worship site. In front of me is a Spock's casket only white and floating. Very futuristic. In stark juxtaposition is a conventional RPG treasure chest. Okay.


Anyway the casket is full of poison and it almost kills me. The RPG chest is full of a kiwi ?? Which doesn't heal me. I don't know how to heal actually. This is a problem in a second.


Galloping gators, just off frame was something actually interesting. Zounds.


We make our way over to some late 20th-early 21st century camping equipment, including big wooden crates. Anyway a bird named Dive flies out of the cave and kills me and I lose my coal.


Okay join me next time in Chapter 2

The crafting table takes 35 wooden planks, and you know that because the tooltips display immediatly when you mousover an item to craft, which you had to do in order to select the item in the first place.

looking forward to more of this LP of the nightly build so we can "literally see the progress" theyve made in the last year. (sorry i mean last 10 months and 14 days, i know how people hate the extreme hyperbole of an extra 2 months)
like the nice new background and new player model and three extra hotbar slots.

The sheer amount of spite you have towards Chucklefish is some Gamergate-grade stupidity. We get it. You don't have any experience working in the games industry, or probably software development of any field, and you like to remind people you're clueless as gently caress and angry because a new developer isn't hammering out a game in a timeframe they originally wanted or you expected to be set in stone. Go outside and get some air.

Shouldn't have waited so long! Apparently everything they've done is included in the nightly builds so you coulda been playing with all the sweet new chair fixes for MONTHS.

It's an M. Bison hat with a little fire circling around it. It has no impact on gameplay.
