2.6 is a chris-mas miracle.

Thanks CIG. 2016 has sucked, but you've managed to make us all smile in here.

So what youre telling me is that you have a twitter and you use it for the express purpose of following a bunch people you literally hate and read all their tweets because they make/like the bad videogame?
In what way is this any better?

The thing I love most is the docking system.
Like seriously, is CIG gonna re-do all ships to add a docking door?

But is just one of those things Shitizens don't wanna think about it.

No, like I said, it's blank. Like, totally blank.

Look, I know how this poo poo works, I've been looking at this entirely blank screen for literally days and it's blank as hell.

I'm basically an expert on twitter at this point and I know for a fact that it doesn't constantly pop up with random poo poo from people you aren't following just because they think you "might be interested in" due to someone you follow also following an account that liked a tweet. No sir, not even once. This is a thing I have never seen.

You seem to be treating me like some sort of moron who has no idea how twitter works. That's a lie. Twitter doesn't have any "suggested" tweets or anything like that. Any suggestion to the contrary is completely false. And don't even get me started on retweets! That's not even a word let alone a thing that would cause something to appear on your feed!! Hahahahaha, what nonsense.

I mean what sort of dumbass would accuse people of using twitter in the "wrong way" when they've clearly got no idea how it works in the first place?

Certainly not I.

I doubt it, the senior F42 programmer in charge of ship docking left a few weeks back.

I've wanted to make an effort post for a while about the physics of docking / launching ships and EVA, and how it's going to be impossible to do properly in with SC's current physics system, but it just feels like I'd be doing CIGs home work for them.

"This popped up on twitter" really guys, I don't read through every tweet made by a CIG employee, this just magically popped up for me, what a coincidence

Was that the guy you was trying to toxx moma on?

Dropping $300 on a Timney trigger seems silly until that first pull. It makes a world of difference.

Sometimes EA stuff is good, like Darkest Dungeon or Grim Dawn, Astroneer looks cute but I haven't played it.

There has never been a finished Early Access Survival Game™ though, none.

Plus it's multiplayer. Depending on how the game is structured and server size (I doubt it's large but who knows) it could be fun to make GoonBase. Hours spent creating a giant goatse ring.

Yeah that's why I was posting about the whole "Missing the forest for the trees" mentality backers have.

CIG has barely managed a prototype in an engine that is almost certainly a dead end. The guy making the decisions is obviously obsessed with his magnum opus cinematic experience. Years of his own words and complete bewilderment at the prototype prove that. He speaks in vague possibilities about the game people paid $140,000,000 for while having enthusiasm for Squadron 42 with years of time spent at the world's most expensive animation studio. None of the assets they are producing and none of the time they have spent has gone toward actually making anything other than a tech demo.

Nope. All of that has been compartmentalized down into it's constituent molecules. 1,000,000 different petty arguments that can be argued for all eternity. The cult never has to be wrong because even if an asteroid hits the earth their survivors eating mold off the walls of a subway station can dream of the future day where they are all in the verse and just need to reinvent electricity to start working on 5.6.

Amazingly stable for something they call a pre-alpha.

Good titles leave EA after a year, two tops. Otherwise its just bad devs hiding lack of focus or incomplete desing behind the "its EA!" facade. Like MMOS hiding Buy2Play behind 10 months long "closed betas" you can get in anytime with a 30$ founder pack.

PC gaming was the second strongest market, earning a total of $35.8bn between January and November, growing by 6.7 per cent year-on-year. This figure includes social, free-to-play, subscription and premium PC games. Strengthened by the release of a new generation of graphics cards this year, titles such as Overwatch and League of Legends captured the premium and free-to-play markets respectively.
