You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
This is the game that had to refactor watermelons because breaking one created a ton of intricately-modelled fragments that required an infinite amount of polygons and crashed immediately, right?

If by "refactor" you mean "remove entirely" then yes absolutely

Eh, it's fine, I don't think anyone expected the watermelons to last as long as they have. At the very least, it's given our insiders more time to prep Chris about the ice cubes in Metal Gear Solid

The game hasn't been the same since they took watermelons out. Beginning of the end of a space game IMO.

That sounds like story of FFXIV 1.0, except they fired the lead guy and remade and relaunched the game.

Yeah I don't know, there's bitching about downvotes and bitching about bitching. It's a pretty standard SC sub thread. Even when we aren't around they are exeptionally toxic and unpleasant.

I love pointing out to people who say the travel times are "Fine" that it is literally faster to ride a Starfarer from Port O to either of the planets, and then file an insurance claim for your small ship and wait out the timer, than it is to actually fly there. For some reason it is 100% fine with citizens that the travel times stay enormous "because realism" but also that the insurance timers stay in the ~10 minute range "because gameplay."

Haha, they stole all the drugs! It took hours of hauling crates one at a time! I'm guessing the whole thing was edited to eliminate about 50,000 crashes and restarts! In the end they made 170k, almost enough for a... <checks notes>... literally nothing. You cannot buy anything with that amount of money. The most worthless ship in the game costs 250k.

Ergh, ships still move about like they are just a free-look camera? What an awful feeling. Why do the ships have no mass still.

Personally, I don't think it's all that bad.Lately most of the real weirdos have left our subforum anyway, Especially with CIG slowing down their rate of fuckups. Actually, I don't even have to do much any more. The subforum has kinda settled out, So this is really the least worst part of that list Except of course when we get a new poster who thinks this is reddit or whatever.

Kinda surprising, really. I sorta miss the "thousands of posts a day" behemoth. Like, not enough to mod it again but it was fun for a time. Luckily ( or unluckily I guess) I think as we get closer to CIG either imploding or releasing an absolute turd, think people will come back. Maybe we'll even let Derek in for a final victory lap lol. Maybe we can convince Chris Roberts to come by for a personal Expose while we're at it lol.

At the very least, maybe once it comes out and flops all these reddit weirdos will gently caress off and set me free.

I really wish Smart was back in this thread. I think everyone would agree that he brought a certain beauty to this thread. I don't agree with him on a few thing, but I think he is a fun a guy.

Dream on about getting Roberts here. He is a wanabe US oligarch, they just stay in their own heads, they are never real. Same with Roberts (even though he is just a wanabe).

Not really sure if that's what's happening.

It feels more like a kind of nose blindness. The first few years seemed crazy, but now we're just so used to seeing/reading this stuff that it doesn't rise above the noise floor we've been conditioned to.

Surprisingly, neither do their website writers. It takes a surprising amount of skill to write a cogent, researched article with the backing of your editorial staff, and it’s loving Forbes.

The SC article was in the print mag.

And as you say, the online mag isn’t pay-per-click in any case, just the HuffPo-model blogs.
