I love how proud Derek is to post these ugly rear end screenshots like that was going to somehow shut MoMA up :xd:

At least he has a game you can play. Graphics aren't everything either. I've put more hours into Paradox games than any other, and I don't play those for the graphics.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share our plans for the 2.6.2 release today as we're nearing the final stages before going to Live!

2.6.2e-521264 is currently on PTU and is available to all players for testing. The Buccaneer has been made available for all PTU testers!
We've got a singular issue left that we are identifying where all pads are full. This is due to ships not being cleaned up as players leave the game.
A code build has just been completed and is now in internal QA testing.
Provided it passes, we will publish this update to PTU at approximately 3pm CDT/9pm GMT.
This is a Live candidate, so we expect to leave it up for a few hours. Players with fast internet and no bandwidth caps are encouraged to help us stress test!
Assuming this all checks out, we will then be publishing 2.6.2 to Live around 7pm CDT/1am GMT.
Shortly after the publish, we will announce sales information.

Stay tuned for more information! We appreciate everyone's help in getting 2.6.2 out the door; we're almost there!

On a related note, I saw some questions about how more players would participate with the long-awaited delta patcher system. We're hard at work on this and are happy to say we're reaching some very critical milestones!

For more information on the Turbulent side of the delta patcher, check out https://youtu.be/CPJK3KozJo4?t=955.

Sales. Always the sales.

I'm a bit out of the loop, is there anything of note actually in 2.6.2 or what the gently caress ever?

Also MoMA you should come play MWO with us. You'll love it because I know you like mech games and also opportunities to give terrible people all your money for a lovely product that can barely be called a video game.

Derek tweeted the link to Sandi's IMDB page a couple years ago and it's evolved since then in backers minds

I posted about it awhile ago

Space Crabs posted:

I like how that too has been distorted over time by backers.

It's the nefarious GOONS using their SJW Mechanics that CIG valiantly resisted to protect the refuge from goons CIG is building.

When it was calling out prominent RSI posters for harassing women with dick pics, which promptly got RSI to ban the women involved and any goon who complained about it while RSI posters cheered for this victory struck against goons by banning a woman who they had been creepily harassing.

This is just like the crazy Rollercoaster of Derek re-tweeting a tweet two years ago turning into

"Harrassing Chris Roberts"
"Harassing Chris Roberts' Family"
"Harassing and stalking Chris Roberts' family"
"threatening, stalking and harassing women and children"
"running an organized hate campaign with the specific goal to harass, stalk and threaten women and children"

Basically Star Citizen has been in development so long that stories are being passed down to new generations by Bards and they forget some of the lyrics each time. So you are right, it's literal folklore.

Just like how the Xi'an Scout thing is now a mystery, and Doorgate never happened, and Accelewrath sending pictures of his dick to girls on RSI forums and getting the girls banned when they complained was actually CIG just stamping out a goon Social Justice Conspiracy.

It's canon in the shitizenverse; no source necessary. Also IIRC the whole "our employee IDs don't say CIG on them" thing was a classic Lesnick deflection, but the Escapist podcast after the article got noticed said they talked to former employees on Skype and compared them with LinkedIn profile photos for verification (as well as looking at pay stubs), but shitizens still love to trot out that old canard.

Unsinkable

Hopefully his next train of thought may be to ask himself why the main webpage is designed to deceive the common visitor.

Paying attention to something on a daily basis should mean "I know more details than the common people."

In CIGs case, paying attention basically means "I know where the lies are and sort of what is real and is not."

This is unfortunate, but somehow continues to be not alarming to backers.

Wish MoMA responded to my Microsoft lies bit. I'd love to know which lie will be the lie that brings the whole thing down. If there is such a lie. The CEO lying about releases dates since day 0 and basically postponing release indefinitely is apparently not enough somehow.

Really if you want a game so much, and don't care if you ever actually get it and are endless teased like a donkey with a carrot on a stick, I don't think there's anything that could be said to sway you. Once you no longer care about the end result the journey is all you have to hold on to.

Meanwhile, games like Miscreated (on the same engine) just added 50 player servers (through a delta patcher!!!!), Blackwake has a major patch in a few weeks with a 2 man team, and now I see Stellaris updated?
