That's the depressing paradox of this bullshit. There is always more and it's always worse, and the thing there is always more of is Citizens' money. The thread's pretty demoralised just now and that's always when we eat our own.

I don't need to call it, and I don't need anyone to believe it - but it's over. Just be patient and wait for what comes next (either before year end, or Q1/18).

That is all.

Derek, your games are 100% not for me, but putting controls overviews and manuals on hot keys is cool and good and a lot more video games (especially simulators) should do it.

Looking at you, DCS :argh:

Yeah, thanks. I started doing that with all my games released from 2007 onward. All Aspect Warfare, Angle Of Attack, GALCOM ES, UCCE, UCCE20, UCCE30, LOD, all have it.

Because, supposedly, wormholes big enough to fit a kilometers long space dildo are super-rare and easy to detect, so an unidentified one being close enough to reach the heart of the empire is out of the picture.



Back when Jared leaked a game build it included a bunch of info on star systems. Coordinates, connections, and even secret systems. There was an unknown system that connected Terra to Vanduul space.

So basically the plot to the WC movie.

Our honored herald of the stimpire, Beexoffel has attempted to phrase parts of it in his most stimperial voice. I try to convince him to do a full one since the gamescom live stream.

When he does it I feel Daz will make a best of - background video for it and put it on YouTube and many laughs will be had.

nah, thread has been good since 3.0 hit. the projections about money, positive or negative, are always fun for me because no matter what, there's gonna be hilarity

what I'm really hoping for is a full release of both games with low to middle grade reviews and watching the chris roberts defenders jumping from comment section to comment section, all the while seeing their hearts break in real time

its not going to happen to every single supporter, but over the years we've had several big name defenders defect and become detractors

its the best

The servers are currently mostly unplayable right now. Repeated freezes, sub-10fps frame rates, AUS servers completely dead, US/Europe servers lovely (as usual) etc.

Pretty much the patches have gotten progressively worse - if you can imagine that. And now that the 3.0 euphoria has worn off, the Twitch viewership has normalized back down to sub-400 again.

God I hope they release it to live for the holidays. That would be the greatest holiday gift to the thread, and which would best even the anniversary land sale fiasco.

As disappointing as that may be to us griefers, this is fine - totally fine.
Trust me when I tell you this, it's fine. There are far bigger things in motion which will prove that I am right when I say that these whales throwing money at it - even if we doubt the actual claimed amounts - is perfect for what's coming next. Just be patient. It's actually fan-loving-tastic, and many tears will be shed.

They probably will, and get it to overlap with the holiday stream during which they are claiming to be showing SQ42 (apparently sources say it's just one of their usual trailers btw) because this is their last significant money grab.
