During this time of Thanksgiving, I am most thankful for the shitposts in this thread. Sometimes I see the post count go up and load up the thread and there are serious posts and few shitposts, and me and baby jesus and our manger of turkeys cry.

Maybe in a few daysweeksyears there will be a real content update post, and for a while there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth at the suppression of shitposts as everyone froths about the new advanced paper airplane flight physics which let you poke out an enemy's eye using up only all of your energy. Thankfully that time will pass by quickly and this thread will again decay for years, as god intended. I hope that, by then, the team starts and abandons another game, so we can have two threads to shitpost concurrently - and it will herald a new era of faggotry, an era that I dearly look forward to.

That Castlevania tweet is from two years ago, by the way. There was a three-page thread on the Starbound forums shortly after that consisted almost entirely of "never played it"

This thread is and has always been basically a revival of that "Safe place to talk about how much you hate cis white males" thread that turned the Games forum into an utter shithole for months afterward. So check your privilege right into killing yourself, penis-having rapist.

I’m afraid this motion has nothing to do with conquering the gender binary or whatever Tumblr is really happy about to be reblogging it so heavily. It’s not about making little children feel like they can get whichever toy they prefer. It’d be nice if it was, but I’d be shocked if that was the case.

No, the girl toy here is a My Little Pony. Which means that the *real* reason for this notice is that a bunch of bronies, as there are bajillions of photos and videos of them doing, are coming into fast food restaurants and buying several happy meals. They threw pissy fits when asked if they wanted the “boy or girl” toy, insisting that My Little Pony isn’t for girls or whatever, again, only saying this because of overwhelming evidence that bronies do this poo poo. Management eventually has enough of it, asks employees to just ask if people want Skylanders or My Little Pony so they won’t have any more disgusted bronies getting mad that their precious fandom is targeted at crappy dumb little girls.

So the short version is: this little paper unfortunately means the exact opposite of what you think it means, socially speaking. It was put up because grown-rear end men get all pissy when it’s suggested that they like a thing for girls.

"And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "I was posting updates and stuff, but yeah. Honestly, it takes like three seconds to type playstarbound.com into your internet browser, but even easier to endlessly post every day for months about a game you're trying to fool people into believing you're not interested in.

Ah Starbound, I still have very very very vivid memories of the day I got mine. I was living in Texas and had gotten my copy from saving up every penny I had for months and months, until I ended up getting it after all my friends had one . So I declared that I would get mine on release day, but was short by about half, and I wanted my beta damnit. Luckly Fate gave me an option, in my testicles.

I woke up the day before it was to be released and noticed my left testicle had grown to the side of almost two oranges, I had been, I think, around the age of 10 or 11 now, so I didn't know what the gently caress. I was young, so my testicles were mysterious balls that contained pee-pee, I didn't care too much. So I ignored it until launch day. Bam, launch day, it came out and I showed my mother the half I had saved and begged for her to match it. No luck, I tried crying, threatening the cat, car, house, and my sister. At that point, I would've done anything to get it, suddenly I felt a surge of pain coming from my no-no area.

Quick peek down and I noticed my ball had grown even bigger, red and was hurting now. So I seized the opportunity and dropped my pants. My mother screamed, "What are you do--- oh god jesus lets get you to the hospital", I shook my head. "Not until I get my copy". She laughed, "You can't be serious", oh but I was, I ran up stairs and hid like a ninja, until she gave in. "Ok ok we'll pick it up on the way back", later I would regret this but I said it had to be before. I think she nearly poo poo a brick that I would risk my balls, but she agreed and we hurried the gently caress up, she grabbed a steam gift card and ripped through the line to get it. I was then rushed to the emergency room, I was then informed that I would have to loose the testicle, if I had gotten there sooner in the day I would've been able to keep it. Now I look back and flick my plastic testicle and think if it was worth it, I don't know, but my mother still has the Steam Account, mint condition, Login Information, and all my games as a reminder that she'll take my balls away if I ever blackmail her again.

I miss lefty.

Chucklefish has used money of the early access to buy a office and move their crew over. I Bought/Invested in Starbound not Chucklefish. This poo poo has not been transparent at all and they just went on with it. Why not FINISH the game THEN use ur PROFITS to move. Not your investor money for Starbound. They used our trust in early access and poo poo all over it by using money for development for the gain of the company and NOT the game. Thats my issue i have with this. Also people forget they got crowdfunded like a million aswell and have not even added all promised starter content (fossils/archeologie for example). Keep backing up the devs and then after 6 months you will turn like a leaf in the wind and blame the devs while you could of pointed it out way earlier.

Can you actually play the instruments yet? As in, hit keys and make notes come out, instead of just downloading a lovely midi copy of whatever dumb meme song is popular right now?

Maybe they were confused. Maybe they thought that instead of asking if that one particular artist left, you were actually asking if the game would ever deliver on its promises of progression, questing, meaningful equipment, rewarding exploration, and emergent gameplay. So of course in a rare moment of lucidity they said no.

Up til August they still had the old development team page with all the people who left or got fired on it. People like Legris (fired), Rho (quit), Bartwe (quit), Solatrus (?), Fetalstar (was she even a paid employee?), Tastycrumpet (quit in February 2014? Listed as former staff, first member on the forums, probably the guy who made the website who quit), Archvince (who?), and thefluvirus (who?).
