Hmm.
Good advice.
I missed out on getting a titanium citizen card in the $10,00 package with my Star Citizen pre-order, I only got the pissy Freelancer package, for $125.
I won't be making that mistake again.

Nice, Subnautica is real good. I love building bases in hard to reach areas in that game. I still need to go and finish it, I got into Astroneer lately for a lot of the same reasons.

If you like the base-building aspect, Satisfactory is a real good first-person Factorio-like. Build Factories the size of mountains.

Personally if I were a desperate attention seeking loser like That Kazaa I would focus less on the “omg they doxxed me” aspect and more on the “I’m the man who ended Derek Smart’s reign of terror” aspect. Seems like it would get more traction.

I just like that he's moved to "they" doxxed me so he doesn't have to admit that we banned Derek Smart cause of doxxing; something they won't do.

Also if he wasn't such an insecure shithead he wouldn't've had to "brag" about his lovely spark QA job (or whatever) so much.

I think it’s more that nobody cared. Or continues to care. The victimhood is an easy thing to wave around.

These are people who believe that the Director of Wing Commander is supra-competent, which flies in the face of evidence. Curiously, all these scenarios they have of the final mic drop on release of the game fails to realize that our expectations are a lot lower than theirs are. Particularly the bits they believe they own because they pre-ordered a game mechanic.

They cannot conceive that it will be bad, partially because they have a bunch of people....look, one of my lessons in life is that the more that someone directly advertises, the more likely the product isn’t going to stand up on it’s own. They’re pumping money to frack the remaining people on the fence. The whole Rexilla nonsense is pure marketing, and it’s so far beyond organic that I’m still waiting for the shoe to drop.

”It's almost funny how wrong you have it. There is growing new guard due to a perfect storm. Fear of the new leads to salt. A game like this can not be successful based on old money and old salt alone. ZDF as an org is bigger than Rexzilla. It's not just an org, its a movement. i am fairly certain that what we are witnessing isn't some co-ordinated marketing campaign.”

How do you mean puzzles? I only got ~80 hrs in Factorio.

You can't make any progress just going 1 miner to 1 smelter to 1 constructor at any rate.

The thing I miss from Factorio though is the local Fauna being hostile to your base.

“So i guess what i'm saying is this is all organic growth of the game and a demographic change. i had a good conversation the other day on Discord with another content creator when this very subject came up. i asked her what she thought would happen as people who like and play Fortnite now start coming over to playing Star Citizen and she nearly spit her coffee out both because she knows its inevitable and the reaction will be a culture shock not unlike what you're seeing happening now with the emergence of Rex and the ZDF.”

I remember this and disregarded almost entirely because it’s chock full of marketing speak, and so obviously built around an influencer boosting another influencer that it was ridiculous. I picked out the bit I liked. Comparisons of Fortnite to Star Citizen will never not be funny.

And i hope you have those details for later, i’m very into the measurement cycle of the Baconian scientific method, because pundits never get asked about their failed predictions. They’re generally into promoting a narrative in the hope that someone will simply accept the position that SC is somehow a Fortnite killer, and that people should get on board quickly.

Redbull are kinda ideal, because they don’t have much embedded gaming knowledge.

Has anyone looked for history of Rex before this? I have. This appears to be his first Mechanima project entirely, and appeared after a round of funding for marketing. I’m willing to bet if I dug deeper into the requirements for advertising on various platforms, we’d get a bunch of weaseling about how SC is merely stoked to have an engaged and interested ‘fan’.

But this is not organic growth. Hell, he barely has viewership beyond the ‘old demographic’ streamers.

Completely off topic here, but in news about a game that actually exists I started playing Subnautica based mostly on this threads recommendations. Still early days but things seem to be going well. Next stop is the habitat building tool, I just need to find some of the rarer metals now! I want it mainly because I have filled up my little locker with lots of simple crafting materials (titanium, rubber etc) and I can't bring myself to litter the lovely sea floor with it all so now I need to build a house and a bigger locker.

I finally beat it literally ten minutes ago. It's a fantastic, fantastic game. Pants-shittingly terrifying in some parts, but a great game.

Eh, I have enough cred as "the good star citizen hater" (or at least "the occasionally reasonable star citizen hater") that I could probably cash it in to get on one of those shows. Twerk encouraged me to go to a Bar Citizen today, and I'm cool enough with Erris I could probably con my way on (I vaguely remember Dapper Don suggesting it on twitter and him not hating the idea) but like... what would be the point? It would just be a hot wet pile of nothing. It would 100% boil down to "We both hope they make a good game, but I don't think they're going to and you think they are." I'm not really interested in trying to flex on people about why Star Citizen is bad anymore, and most of these guys have dialed their enthusiasm/zealotry enough that we all basically agree on the current state of things.

It would do tremendous damage to their groupthink about open discussion and I still think you should do it because you bring good arguments to the table in a way that is easily digested by both camps.
