It's family style, so they are going to bring out a platter for each table and you just have to hope whoever you're sitting with is hygienic or you get first crack at all the plates.

Hotdogs and potatoes, not enough plates, family style, loving benches. Did they ever fill that "fine dining" position because this had Chris and Sandi planning the night before written all over.

There is no such thing as good dogfighting. It is all just turning as hard as you can, and it sucks. Also, this game is going stadia exclusive, you heard it here first, folks 100% guaranteed. The only way to get the huge crowd of players netcode they want is to make google do it for them.

The thought of shapcap sat on a bench crammed next to a giogetmoney type of character, pushing his solitary potato around, gazing longingly at a sales brochure for a $675 jpeg that literally does not exist is incredibly funny to me, Chris sat up on high well away from them all while he probably gulps down potato after potato just makes it even funnier. Then shapcap going all 'IT WASNT A SALES PITCH' about it on redit just slathered on another layer of comedy I should have expected loving potatoes man, they didn't have enough

Hav posted:Welcome to the last seven years. What you’re describing is why Eve dumped walking in stations, as the populace is not homogenous, making Jita a fairly unique problem. Thundering Herd is really the next problem on their list. Right now they're trying to cull unneeded objects from being processed. Which only matters if no one can see those objects. Population will naturally spike in certain areas, where I would assume the engine has some allowances to prevent a thundering herd from killing the game, but you'll also have people all over the galaxy, it only takes 1 person in a station to force the game to load that station. I could see in an ED scale universe where you could make saving there but in a SC sized universe everything is going to be populated.

I'd buy a bottle of Kajak's drool e: if anyone wants to know how to get loads of Australian Shepard drool: let him get stung in the cheek by "something", and wait from him to scratch it all open over night, so half of his face looks like an exploded watermelon (both in color and size). Then go to the vet every day while giving him heavy pain killers. drat, that wasn't a nice weekend last week (especially since it was super hard to find a vet at sunday who'd give him some pain killers). But our Aussie is back on track....I never thought I'd be so happy when he barks at me without end, because he feels fine again. tuo fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Aug 27, 2019 |

Welcome to the

The SQ42 excuse for the mine ship is pretty funny. Why exactly would they need a minelayer/minesweeper ship for a single player game? Is there an exciting level where you put your dogfighter aside and plant mines? Or sweep for mines? Or are you fighting one? And if so, why would they build the minelaying SHIP? Why not just have a level in a space minefield, where presumably a fleet of minelaying ships had BEEN long before? What does it add to make the ship? It's just such tortured logic.

Has the Crobbler pitched a "cloaking" ship yet? How about a ship that opens wormholes? I sense there are still other sci-fi tropes he can steal and subsequently fail to understand and implement.

To be fair, CIG paved the road long ago to allow them to just arbitrarily give release numbers to their builds, and backers proved long ago that they'll swallow that and ask for more. 1.0 Release Version will come out, because CIG will just keep the current build as it is and just start calling it that. They'll herald it as a milestone achievement, claim they're now in an "iteration cycle" with more to come so now we've proved haters wrong there's never been a better time to pledge more, and backers will take a thundering herd of victory laps.

Sure the vast, vast majority will take their stupidity with them to their graves, labeling it "genius" until their final breath, but surely there's at least one guy that could be reached. One person you can talk to and say, "Dude, you're someone else's PhD. Right now that's your net value to society - that someone else has learned how to help others by watching you fail", and the light dawns on them. I think it's the guy in the tophat.

And obviously they had to create and model an entirely new ship just for this purpose, uh huh, right Whether or not it's true, CIG hasn't suggested once (from what I've seen) that this ship will even appear in SQ42.

I'm expecting an entire level based on this ship, with Pusher leading the way, with quips like "remember pilot, what's yours is yours, and what's mine is ... minelayer" and poo poo like that.
