It's also an indication that Sandi wasn't in charge of that, because if she was, it'd be a box from the Dollar Shave Club.

You know, I know it is the libertarian future and all that but having your hamburger shop clerk pull a gun on the customers may be bad for business. Even if it is an invisible gun.

Like, seriously, their setting makes no sense at all. That guy is in the food court are at the middle of the SC googleplex building with a shotgun at hand.

In prison gameplay news:

All you have to do is log out before you die to avoid going to jail

The report posted:

Now that 3.9 is stable enough for me to play I decided to try bounty hunting players, at first this seems to be working as it should. Player is killed, player goes to prison...

However its become clear some players have figured out a method to avoid the new Crime and Punishment systems of 3.9, apparently logging out of the game is all you need to do to achieve this and seems to be a massive oversight on CIG's part. Attached are two fun videos showing the exploit in use.

Doing this is simple.
- Eject or get out of your seat before your ship is blown up
- Exit to main menu or Alt+F4
You just avoided prison and will wake up in Grim Hex when you next log in.

If your attacker destroys your ship after you have left due to it being almost dead or missiles where fired, the bounty hunter will incur a crimestat as a result.

So you can go to jail for trying to send an actual criminal to jail?

You know I take it back, I think Chris is really playing 3D chess with us. He’s making almost all gameplay punishable with prison time, so that no one can actually play the game and experience how lovely it is.

It's amazing to me that they didn't think through one single consequence of adding this mechanic to the game. I mean it's CIG so it shouldn't be amazing, but still- they did not investigate a single edge case before they dumped that poo poo and walked away. Do they even have project management? Is it literally just developers kind of noodling around in the code and if something sticks for more than a minute they just call it a feature and ship it?

It's been a while since I've set foot in the SC reddit.

The Pretty Screenshot Brigade is still putting in work.

But I was surprised, there are quite a few posts about bugs. The a bunch of the usual "NPCs standing on seats", but that's so2019... (and 2018, and 2017)

Here were my favorites:

By this time it could be anything. But the 3 second confirmation between the landing and the server telling you that you're dead is getting worse with time

I think also the text enhances the hilarity.

Or the "MetroLoop" with NPCs infinitely looping in their glitchy limbo state.

Yes, once their trust fund was put in Sandi's name it was only a question of time.

That would mean that, originally, they were trying to hide that they were married. Now, they're hiding that they're separated. Which isn't material in either case, but it's like they have to compulsively mislead people whenever possible.

So I'm going to believe it's true that they're separated because it's the most amusing possibility. Sort of a comedy version of Occam's Razor.
