I'm guessing someone has asked bluegoblin to be more positive in the past, and it turned him into a gibbering raging lunatic, so he sees is as the best way to guarantee a meltdown.

I don't get why Bluegoblin thinks asking people to be more positive is trolling them, like it's going to make them fly off the handle with rage and get banned.

All it does is make him look even more uncomprehending and detached from reality than normal.

Because when they had a daylong nervous breakdown screaming for people to be more positive, they got temporarily banned. They have decided that since it "bothered" people enough to "get them banned", then they can do it relatively calmly and somehow that's trolling everyone else.

They say it's a puppetmaster thing, but it's at least a good 50% dead serious.

Did anyone else notice that you need to beat a flash game to unlock the option to buy the Medivac version of the ambulance ship?

The game's movement controls are inverted (pressing right arrow makes your ship move to it's left, and vice versa), the controls are over-responsive (so many hits are unavoidable), and sometimes the ship movement control will get stuck if you move the ship to the extreme edge of the field, causing you to die. Best of all, even though there is a 'hits on Vanduul' counter and a score tally, the game doesn't explain what you need to do to win (I got to 1500 hits and gave up). Also, if you accidentally press alt while playing, the game loses focus and freezes, and you die.

Whatever company made that game did a great job of capturing the Star Citizen experience.

e. The advertisement blurb explains that you must get 100,000 points to win, but this is not shown in-game.

It seems like this should be the official SA Catch-22. I was sober when I signed up, but I was getting bad cravings. So, similar mood.

There's something else about bears not many people know. If a bear gets hooked on the taste of crowdfunding, it becomes a man-killer. He'll go on a rampage and has to be destroyed. And that's why you should never hug a bear.

I dared myself to actually watch the AtV to learn about Chris's amazing vision for submarine jpegs but was almost immediately derailed by an earlier Q&A item in the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8dwGoqN_zs&t=263s

quote:

Q: "How can ships hover over the surface of a planet in any orientation even when some of them are designed to use VTOL thrusters?"
This was an exciting question to hear, because the first (and only) thing I did during the last free-fly weekend was to steal someone's spaceship, roll it over onto its back five feet above the launchpad, and get out - making it completely inaccessible to anyone because it just sat there like an anti-brick levitating above the scenery while its owner hopped up and down desperately trying to <<USE>> its immersion ladder. Well, the answer may surprise you!

quote:

A: "The VFX for when you're in atmosphere, they're the same VFX on the thrusters you have in space - so in space where it's all dark and you've got a black background, you can see these thrusters firing away keeping you up, whereas in atmosphere where you're in bright daylight you sort of lose them against the ship so it does seem like they're hovering when in fact if you look at them closely the thrusters are on full tilt trying to keep you up."
So there you have it, FUDsters: it's not like you can park upside-down above the terrain because the flight physics are cartoonishly stupid, it's all just because the thrust is the wrong color. If someone would just get around to making that blue thruster green, the physics will just behave normally!

Other fun lessons to learn from this statement are that the thrusters are constantly working to keep you upside-down in space, and that it's always daytime in the atmosphere, so the game is clearly functioning perfectly and nothing is abnormal about a WWI biplane space fighter hovering upside-down above a mountain.
