Yeah, Fallouts gunplay is dogshit for a AAA game. It doesn't help that the backbone of the game is an RPG so enemies often have bloated HP and armor pools that turn gunfights into long slogs of just dumping multiple rounds into someones head and rolling hidden dice while they stand out in the open and shoot you back.

I've always been really amused by;

"Some older streamers and backers see any change as scary and this influx of newer, often younger backers is disruptive to what the Star Citizen community has traditionally been since the Kickstarter."

Not only is it sheer unmitigated bullshit, because there have been at least two large scale movements, it really speaks to an arrogance over what the current gig economy is like. 'newer, younger backers' is all about attracting new money.

"Too many older backers and streamers are jaded"

I like how we've hit the 'multigenerational' point of this one vidya game.

So the latest Jump point magazine is out- I hadn't read one in ages and it's interesting to see how far it's fallen. It's a far cry from the stuff they used to release. Just 35 pages and it's mostly recycled marketing material. Out of idle curiosity I read the "Lore" about the 890J and holy poo poo the cult-like recasting of the Chris Roberts narrative is real.

Check this poo poo out:


Accessible to the very and ultra-rich alike! But oops we didn't study anything before we made promises!


Pilloried in the press, but after only 18 months they had a design! Their competitors said it couldn't be done! Fifty billion credit disaster!


They had to go silent! Everyone thought they had failed!


After just six years of development they finally released it and changed gaming spaceflight forever!


They spent a shitload on marketing but it turned out not to be necessary because idiot whales bought the thing like hotcakes!


Any resemblance to video game development projects, living or dead, is purely coincidental!

It really is a crackup. I’m at an age where prolix condescensions like this are kind of endearing to receive. Oh, to be young and cocky with bitcoin riches. To think Roberts a visionary, Rex a true fan and Star Citizen a game...

It’s literally just pure whale fracking. The tedious sim nerds they sell this poo poo too can sit at that big raised desk and imagine themselves giving a proper dressing down to one of their peasant crew members they will never actually have. They might as well never even release the ship into the game, as you’d get all of its “gameplay” value by just looking at pictures and videos of it.

The raised monolithic desk reminds me of the commander’s office in Deep Space Nine, which was designed by a fascist uber-authoritarian race. It’s raised above the rest of the station’s command center to such and extent that it’s a parody of the Cardassians and the phallic insecurity of Gul Dukat.

You’re stalking. I’m smoking a cigarette ironically in the shadows. Or i would had i not given up. Okay, it’s a vape, and it’s something herbal, but i have a doctor’s note.

But poisonTaco is one of those you keep an eye on, as in the parlance of my people, he’s a ‘wrong-un’.

In unrelated(fun) topics, I got Rebel Galaxy during the free period and it's been pretty fun.

So far the combat has been engaging and fun, and the soundtrack is awesome. It's a decent appetizer for Outlaw.

Rebel Galaxy gets a little repetitive towards the end, but I really liked it. I'll probably be getting Outlaw on Day 1.

Since every dollaroo of crowdfunding went straight into development, I'm sure the $4,620 came directly from crobear's own wallet.
