Whew! I knew it! CIG has been working on 3.0 the entire time and it is almost ready!! Rather than buy back in--better ways to have fun:

1) Buy an account off the grey market, barter the guy down to 60cents on the dollar if you can. Then refund the account for the full amount.

2) Tell CIG you've seen the error of your ways and can't believe you got upset enough to ask for a refund. Get your account reinstated. Wait a month and get a refund all over again.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

In other game-that-is-also-pre-alpha-but-actually-playable news, getting off-planet is really fun in Astroneer — each little ball has its own setup and challenges. Something of a game balancing issue, though, is that once you get enough tech and resources to go there, you're not really bound by what's available around you any more.

On this little exotic planet, all I need is to find research objects that usually are found under alien plants…

…and the planet is nothing but alien plants. Not sure if I consider it a negative yet, though.

"Car salesman." You guys need to stop licking Derek's taint. Or, lick it harder and wetter in the awesome troll you've engaged. Either way, you've got the wrong salesman.

You do know that Chris was a used car salesman, right?

ManofManyAliases posted:

That is to say, everything that alpha 4.0 was touted to be - should be in 2017.

Also, you did notice that Chris said we should not hold him to his not-promise of getting 4.0 out in the next year, right? And this right next to the suggestion that 3.0 would be out by now, so we can already benchmark the validity of that timeframe estimate…

Also arfjason your trolling shows flashes of brilliance, but you gotta be willing to put in the work and stick the landing! Call your mom, she's disappointed in you.

I just had a great meal out. I got a sashimi sampler platter. I ate up all my 5 different types of fish; tuna, salmon, and 3 other I don't know. One was wrapped in a kind of rosette with paper thin slices of cucumber with some caviar on top. I finished it off by downing the remainder of my wad of wasabi, then crying for 45 seconds. I ate it all with chopsticks without getting a cramp in my hand this time. $23.

It was amazing, and excellent. Stop by Liu's House in Allentown, PA, on Tilghman Street, if you are ever in the area.

To be fair, hiring the last dregs hanging on at a dying company, going months with late or no pay, probably isn't a great strategy.

I enjoy the fact that Jst0rm is fighting the fight and wasn't the one that was banned. :v: This is after months of cease fire type scenarios where mods stepped in and he graciously backs out so TechBoy can still post. What a great community.
