Serious post:

Good for you Beer, it was all the Ben talk in this thread that made me make the jump to a healthier lifestyle change. Started walking with the wife, eating more veggies than anything else during meals, or just not going back in for a second round. My wife is doing the same and that helps a lot (should we stop for a burger? No? Ok, babe...), she has always been thin, but as we age, it gets harder to stay that way. And being thin isn't an indication of overall health anyway. I got a buddy who is rail thin and has super high cholesterol cause he eats like garbage.

I don't mind being a little hungry, but my danger zone is evenings after dinner. I can easily have dinner and go right into snacking (popcorn, ice cream, cookies, whatever) which is not a good idea cause you just sleep and store all that junk up.

Easier just to not have that stuff around and grab some Smart Pop and water while watching a show. A quick banana or a slice of wheat bread to fill up the stomach if I get hungry between meals (or a bowl of high fiber cereal and low fat milk). I go for volume during the day to fill up (eat a ton of low cal stuff to stave off major hunger)and try to drink as much water as possible because sometimes a "hungry" feeling is simply being thirsty.. it's weird but true.

Ben, sounds like you are trying, but like anything, flee from temptation, even if that means quitting CIG!

Thanks for this.

Problem: CIG is not releasing anything parpworthy. I rather wonder & suspect that they have focus groups or whatever (using backer money?) who have told them that SA is dictating the narative, eg: Pgabz takes the piss out of the awful Freelancer cockpit letterbox viewhole thing, and lo and behold, next patch it's slightly larger. Now let's not all get swelled heads, CIG have and are killing through moderator control/bans any kind of discussion of SC shortcomings on the RSI forums. By doing this they are achieveing two things: alienating a small but significant number of backers who have decided to come here because we have free speech & giving an illusion to the outside world that eveything is fine, nothing to see here. SA has effectively taken the interwebs high ground, shooting down at the joke that is SC - there can be few regular RSI forum posters who are not aware of Goons Taking The Piss. CIG solution: diminish news/content release. They have realised (from watching the thread) that if they stay silent that we eat ourselves on slow news days/weeks... months... and end up circlejerking about Bens weight or other irrelevant poo poo. Remember that we are - to borrow a highbrow term - speaking truth to power. None of the regular news outlets are willing to be the first to jump: as has been pointed out ad infinitum on previous pages of the thread the games journalists will not, until it is blindingly obvious, dare to do any kind of hit piece on SC.

Solution: Post Catte pics, recipies, silly vids (looking at you Pgabz) hosed about with classic art, etc. We need to generate content like they can't while we wait for them to produce their lovely content for us to mock

at least, that's what I "think".

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

This happens every year. CIG goes all out with content (and hilarity) during the November/December timeframe, and then magically when the new year happens there is nothing to talk about for months. When that happens the thread inevitably descends into badposting and talking about stupid poo poo... like how lovely the thread is.

People make fun of Ben because he's an easy target. I don't like it (and personally I try to avoid it), but he is the face of CIG and what little content we do have typically involves him to some extent. We could make fun of him for being a liar or a sycophant, but all of that ground is well tread. We could make fun of Dolvak for being a spineless coward, but that has run its course as well. We could make fun of Sandi being a callous narcissist who thrives on the misery of others, but there's only so many times you can be astounded at how truly terrible a person is before you lose interest. We could be making fun of Star Citizen but what's the point? Goons thrive on novelty and at this point Ben struggling to get off a couch and Dolvak running with his tail between his legs is the closest thing we have to something new. Nothing is going to change unless CIG reveals something new and interesting.

As for helping the "perception of this thread" who the gently caress cares? We're Goons, we're horrible people, and frankly giving a poo poo about what a bench of self-entitled spaceship addicts thinks of us is a terrible idea.

All I'll say is I'm not advocating for giving a gently caress what those addicts think. That's not it.

I agree with the larger point though. Thank you for the well thought out and reasoned response.

I need to step up my game and learn to actually make enough money to afford something that doesn't go *splat* the instant something farts in its direction, and then I need to start ramming whatever that is into these encounters.

No Elite pro (i'm barely a month in) but i'm getting good results with this :

Cobra III, half free internals in armor boosters and the other half shield and shield cell banks. 2 fixed medium multicannons and beam laser for the 2 small hardpoints. Go with D or C fittings except for shields and the power distributors that can be B. Your not going to solo Condas and Pythons for fun but you can still shoot mans for cheap.

Most A grade Internals are not worth it unless your alredy swimming in money. For the Cobra III a 4B shield will give you 116 MJ of protection for 500k cr, 4A shields give you 124 MJ for 1,6M cr. That extra half second of shield for 1,1M wont save you if your already in the deep end.

One of the popular PVP meta seem to be space submarine warfare. Run silent and sneak up close, bust shields with beams and then double torpedo in the rear end. Unprepared or badly fitted ships goes *pop* in a single pass.
