Y'see what happens when you don't have ArfJason pointing out that harassing someone to combat harassment is like loving for virginity. A valuable service, I think you'll agree.

My friend asked me yesterday how a developer (chris?)said years ago that you could turn your ship gravity off and accelerate and slame people into walls to kill them but just yesterday, some 2 years later, a streamer flew their ship into the side of a spacestation and it bounced around like a ping-pong ball.

If you fly full speed into the station it's 50/50 whether the explosion animation will kick in and bits of your ship jitter around on fire or you make a 'bonk' sound and bounce off it totally unharmed, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for these things

April 9, 2017

At night, we played poker in the lunchroom with Scott the intern, Steve, and Roger the programmer.

Steve was very lucky, but I think he was cheating. What a scumbag.

April 10, 2017

Today, Ben asked me to take care of a new spaceship. It looked like a metal cock. He said it had to have at least 1,000,000 polygons. When I tried to whitebox it... it tore itself apart and crashed my computer.

April 11, 2017

Around 5 o'clock this morning, Steve came in and woke me up suddenly. He had his credit card in his hand. He told me to get mine out as well. The funding had been low this week and if we didn't but packages we would be fired immediately.

April 12, 2017

I've had to buy 10 packages since yesterday. I can't afford this. By way of revenge I didn't wipe down the coffee machine. Now I feel better.

April 13, 2017

I went to the bank because my rent check bounced. They said I had no money in my account and now I owed them even more money. They said Chris took care of it personally. I guess I can sleep well tonight.

April 14, 2017

When I woke up this morning I checked my online statement and my phonebill bounced too. It was annoying but Chris told me he had already taken care of it for me. It has been quiet since this morning. Many of the programmers have gone home early. They'd be in real trouble if Chris found out.

April 15, 2017

Even though I've been feeling depressed I decided to go see my girlfriend. It's my first day off in a long time but I was stopped by a guard on the way out. He said that Chris ordered that no artists can leave the building. I can't even make a phonecall. What kind of joke is this?

April 16 2017

I heard an artist tried to escape the building last night. He was caught and lashed to his desk.

Yep. And it's funnier, I think, if you precede all 3.0 with pre-alpha. They have supposedly shown pre-alpha footage about a year ago of something that they are still unable to release under the pre-alpha tag.

It's a miracle what a cinematic, scripted animation can do that gameplay simply cannot match!

No, friend.

It can take years of game development experience before you can have an idea.

For example, if you one day woke up and said "I'm going to make a 1000+ player on screen, seamless universe with rpg and twitch gameplay mechanics as an MMO with NPCs that are unmistakable from real players!" Most people would laugh at you. However if you say this after being out of the industry for 20 years and having been a used car salesman, you would be showered with money and yes, it is very much going to happen simply because nobody ever said those words before.

Layering on the code is virtually irrelevant at that point, and it's really only a matter of time before it manifests itself into reality.

I'd say about another two weeks.

Looking forward to Commandos buying virtual plots of land on GenericMoon #7 that cost more than actual, similarly-sized, real plots here on Earth.

For comparison, 2.5 acres in Siberia is about $300.
