Elite's biggest, most critical flaw is not letting players interact in any way except to shoot one another, more or less. If Elite implemented the ability to trade money, goods, or ships directly from player to player, or even indirectly somehow, in a way that wasn't "dump cargo and scoop it up," it would change the game in huge ways and would stop being such a boring snoozefest.

This is where Star Citizen excels! You can serve drinks to other peoples, and you can report news to them! Such joys and diverse experiences are to be had in this most marvelous of galaxy-faring programmed simulacra.

I know what's going to happen

They will show off just enough cool new footage to bring backer faith to an all time high

They may even let a few people play whatever 3.0 consists of now

It's painful because it just extends their license to shill for another year

Of course it won't be released for public consumption until Christmas or after , but the flashy pre rendered video presentation will be a success again .... sigh

Nah. Derek knows I don't care. It was like a 30 second photoshop gag, so hastily done it needed multiple corrections. Kill me the day I start trying to chase down throwaway jokes on the internet. "I wrote that!!"

You know what does hurt, though? My Swofford follow-up joke took 5 whole minutes... but nobody laughed.

I've brought it up before and you've said the same thing before. But am I misremembering where Derek got all butt hurt on twitter because someone on Reddit linked something without giving credit and turns out he just didn't see it or something?

Yes, exactly this. Derek cries day and night when someone calls something "BUT IT WAS MEEEEEEEEE :reddit:" and then does the exact same thing to everyone else.

You gotta wait until your parents break out the ouija board to communicate with them, they should have covered that in orientation

Serious question: If the star citizen fans and believers feel fulfilled during this entire process, doesn't the communal star citizen open development experience have intrinsic value?

I legit tried the lesnick challenge because I was drunk and wanted to see how far I'd get. I actually managed to consume the pizzas and then promptly collapsed.

The funniest thing is Derek loves his double-inverse. Its like dumb Xbox thing years ago

"Q: Why do they call it the Xbox 360?
A: Because when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away."


Good job, Derek, you've double negatived.

It's okay friend, I also find all this stuff addictively funny/horrible, but putting the kibosh on politics chat is the easiest/best way to keep the subforum from devolving into an even bigger shitshow than it already is lol.

Let's stick to high-brow topics like wondering exactly how fat ben is or what the best way to own a wheelchair kid is.
