They super are not taking over Austin. They are just a drop in the bucket of Austin City Limits.

It would be funny if the stupid Shroud of the Avatar convention turns out to be bigger than Citizencon.

They're dismissing the possibility by not even mentioning it.

"A bunch of dudes running around in an mmo"
"Three types of dudes"

The possibility of women wanting to play as a female character doesn't enter their argument at any step, because the thought of women playing SC never occurs to them.

So by not mentioning alien characters, they are dismissing the possibility?

Give me a break.

Umm, he's saying female characters are not needed.... so, ladies should play male characters?

Well, i can see the point really, female avatars might drive the males into untrontrollable frenzies of lust.

I'd be surprised if anything was given. The faithful don't seem to care anymore; and it's just something else for the detractors to point at.

My guess is that Roberts announces some new hot-poo poo project management system that they're adopting.

It'll have some nonsense name like 'Iterative Staging' or 'Modular Team Flow-Through', and Reddit will collectively cream themselves.

Wild-card prediction: They release a Squadron 42 taster.

Hot take: They will release a tiny playable demo of Squadron 42, it will have terrible performance and not be very fun to play but cultists will lap it up and show off all the "awesomness" and claim Christ Roberts is true to his words, TAKE THAT HATERS!!

My predictions for today:

they will show some fifty-or-more player demo in the PTU to demonstrate that they fixed the awful performance, and now fidelity can flow free, thus the game is saved. This will take about 30 mins and maybe crash once.

Then they will show the next level of player interaction by means of FOIP, basically the same stuff they have shown before, maybe in a new environment. This will take about an hour, and will not crash.

Then they will show another "vertical slice" of SQ24, with a live mocap session, on Hurston. This will take about 30 minutes, and will not crash.

Before/after they will show at least two new ships/mechs/vehicles you need to buy, plus of course the FOIP camera.

The presentation will run smoothly, apart from the typical Crobbear fuckup.

It will be a big nothingburger, without major crashes, will run smoothly, will be devoid of fun, and shitizens will pledge like there is no tomorrow.

You heard it here first, folks!

Its like walking up to test drive a car and before you even get to open the door a wheel has fallen off and the horn is started randomly going off, mechanics running out of the garage yelling "don't worry about this perfectly normal nothing to see here".
while some shilly salesman is telling you how it's going to be the best drive ever!

I'll be fine, I'm on the wrong end of Florida for hurricane fun times (for once). FailuretoReport is going to be streaming it though so I'd recommend congregating there unless something happens.

That'd be great actually. Release something that is not pre-alpha but a final thing and it's game over, baby.

No matter how the cultist will try to spin it, if that demo sucks the press and all other gaming communities will bury it forever. The minute the last argument of "this is only work in progress" goes bye-bye their BDSSE dream goes the way of the dodo too.

CIG is not releasing anything, though. It's not their MO.

I actually had a fever dream last night that they released Squadron in its entirety, or at least "as much as we have done" and it was loving wild.

My takes:
  • OCS and Faceware are the stars of the show
  • :yooge: updates about procedural cities and how they've made them slightly less lovely and boring now
  • A prerecorded message from Liam Admiralguy about joining the call
  • Player-owned space station concept
  • Xi'an 'capital' ship concept sale

e: and apparently the Drake pocket carrier a couple people wanted is making an appearance
