It's yet another day in the wasteland.

What is even going on in here. All I do is get off the train and walk home, and suddenly there's pages upon pages of not-even-CIG-screwing-up-yet. What will happen when they do present something if this is how it is now?

No it's some thing about showing $oppressedgroup (I forget which one exactly) that you're an "ally".

Because we live in a world where apparently it's rare enough to not be a total shithead that you're supposed to wear a symbol to advertise it.

Its from the holiday stream last year where she thought they had cut away to something else. (they were perpetually 5 seconds late in cutting so there were a bunch of these)

The best part about catching up to the last 8 pages was watching Derek's avatar change with each new page.

Also, I must be crazy but I'm genuinely getting excited for Gamescom now, I can't wait to see what disasters amazing gameplay CIG will bring to the event the next few days. Sadly, I'll be at a wedding on Friday so I'll miss the main event but I'll be sure to bring my ipad and see this thread's reaction from the hotel room that evening.

"I doubt there's any walls or limitations around any of the moons. This must be the same build that was played on by PC gamer. If you actually look at the dates it matches up perfectly. We'll probably see the follow up to that playthrough in the next few days. Which makes they theory basically correct. My theory was that if CIG were to allow PC gamer a playthrough, a full play through I might add, and only gave them a month to hold back then they had the game in a realistic playable version. A version they would be confident to show at Gamescon as well as feel Comfortable enough to let players test."

MVP confirmed.

Anything you get from Citrix for attending a sales pitch. More seriously, I'm loving the G602 at the moment, but it uses a dongle rather than BT. My 'travelling' mouse is an MS Arc; extremely good folding mouse.

I don't touch their desktop or application stuff; I just get to beta-test their load-balancing solutions (that they failed to test on Juniper kit, leading to a weird hard fault with LLDP). They throw bags and mice at us.

My dad was a VP at Citrix way back in the 90s early 2000s and as a kid I got an insane amount of Citrix swag. They had take your kid to work day and I ended up with an entire bag full of puzzles markers pens etc.

Well I hate to diverge this constant on-topic thread, but Citrix was basically RDS on steroids in the early days. It was still a mess and manageable (somewhat Windows related, but they tried to improve the bane of our existence which are printers.) Then they got the bright idea to do VDI. Which is cool, there was definitely a need. But then they basically killed off the RDS portion with desktop sharing and that was it. Not every place needs or has the resources to implement a VDI model when one can do GPO and keep a mini-farm humming along delivering the RDS experience.
