AC owns, yeah. Also give R3E a try, it’s an overlooked treasure imo and IIRC F2P (for couple of tracks and cars, the rest has to be bought) and they usually have pretty good Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals like “get all the content for 75% off, which is still some money…like…I guess a tonk in Star Citizen or so. Also has a pretty good VR implementation. In regard to VR, if PCars2 is on a good deal, give it a try. It’s no hardcore sim and the AI is stupid as gently caress, but the weather effects etc. are really something everyone should have experienced. Running through the night at Nords in an LMP1-coffin while a thunderstorm roars is cool.

Self insert as a hero always makes me :lol:

But it's whatever. Creative bankruptcy is not exactly an unknown option. At least we finally get to answer the question of "what if that failing project just didn't get cancelled, and what if we plug a guy into it who is incapable of completing a project, and what if that guy hasn't even been relevant since the 90's? And what if we gave them infinite money and time?!"

Your quote made me go reread the plaque and I've realized that he hasn't even really self-inserted as the hero. For normal people, the 'heroes' (or at least people of interest) would be the team of engineers and scientists that developed the quantum engine. What he's done here is self-insert himself as a worthless money-man like Elon Musk, because that's who Chris Roberts thinks of as being the actual hero.

Luckily the sort of people who think racial slurs are only bad if it's public and are healthy heterosexual men are also the sort of people that idolize "businessmen". So he's really tapped the convergence of multiple streams of idiocy here.

CIG did intended to have full planetary surfaces after the game launched, but it is true they wanted to start with a limited landing zone point of interest area. That which is some what smaller than a full whole planetary surfaces.

Ok i recorded my 2nd attempt at playing this dumpster fire

Enjoy watching this boring unimaginative drivel as much as I enjoyed bashing my head against it

Video 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3Hh0FbfcM0

Notes: the first 8 or so minutes are purely wandering around and finding the space port so I can get a ship (and I even knew where to go after my first attempt, this is pretty well a direct-run with no detours)

@ 4:40 notice there is an entire hallway section from somewhere else plopped into the middle of this area, perfectly normal

9min to 19min is mostly futzing around trying to figure out how to do anything, like plot a course (do you single click? double click? who knows) and finally getting on the way to pickup a box

notice how cluttered the UI is at any turn the chat is always there, and if you're looking at the mobiglass thing items are still superimposed overtop of that, making it a real treat to tell what is what

@26 min approaching the landing zone to pickup the box... the planet IS pretty I will give them that, but utterly devoid of anything going on. WHERE ARE THE OTHER PLAYERS?

It's a free fly I was expecting people everywhere, but I think I only see ONE other player the entire time I played

@30 min, finally I have the package I came for. Notice it sounds like a 4 gun salute each time I pick it up. That's fun. Made me look around and thought I was being attacked

Yes this is the fastest you can move holding that box out in front of you, hope you landed close to the pickup point!

Cut !

Video 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIUH9h5fQ2w

Resume!

@1min, I use the mobiglass and it drops my box, fair enough... picking it up again we are assaulted with what sounds like 4 rifles going off. It's very disturbing

Lets repeat it just to make sure. Yep, still does it each time. Great

Also note I've somehow turned on my headlamp, this will come into play later

@1:50 I drop my box onto the cargo 'deck' of my ship. I am thinking surely there is no way this will stay here. But leave it here we shall

@3min the headlamp comes back to haunt me. As you can see it is extremely fidelitous as the headlamp washes out the HUD of the ship completely making it pretty well useless. I try to turn it off, check the keybinds, L ... hmm doesn't seem to do anything except turn on and off the ship lights

@10min I decide to try taking off my helmet, FIXED! Also note how cramped the cabin is, the second you stand up from your chair you're literally pressing your nose into the cockpit door. I assume this is designed this way so you want to buy a larger ship

@12min, I am as surprised as you are. The box is still attached to my cargo deck... thingy.

@13min MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I somehow managed to deliver this box. The guy behind the desk seems overly thrilled about it, he's speechless you could say

Video 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4xv4j4jirw

This video is mostly be getting super bored after delivering that box, and trying to kill myself.

I cruise over the terrain and try to ram into it, eventually @6min I manage to succeed. The sweet release of death. OR IS IT

For the next 2 minutes, the game has me suspended in a dying state, but my guy refuses to give in. I'm also still able to activate my mobiglass and head lamp for some reason. Nothing else seems to work. I think this stage of dying is only supposed to be like 10 seconds, but I'm somehow very lucky and get to watch it do this for 2 minutes of my life.

I was going to end the video here, but surprise @8min in I awaken inside the medical facility.

You'll notice this is a fully equipped hospital room, with a few assault rifles strewn across the floor, just incase the doctor get's impatient

The end is just more corridors, doors, and oh boy elevators too.

Special featurette - @10 min you can see the not-faked elevator warp through me before arriving at the elevator doors

Video 4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVgyzboHEvo

First few minutes are more boring corridors and elevators, and a train (don't watch if you have epilepsy, jesus chris)

@30seconds - our friend the copy-paste corridor come back to haunt

@3min HOLY poo poo ANOTHER PLAYER

And well that's it, I simply can't stand this game world any longer and kindly ask a commando how to end it all.

The mere thought of having to run around the corridors any longer, looking for a elevator to a convention hall, so I can maybe buy a new space ship. It's enough to make me want to just press backspace until everything is fine again.

At least the nice lady sitting where I died didn't seem very offput by the corpse at her feet.

Neat outfit she had on though, big fan of the penguin tail look

Total play time: 1 hour

Total fun had: None

The only nice thing I can say about it this time around, is it didn't crash once? I mean it looks nice in spots, ran somewhat decent (still lots of stutters)

If it had any sort of fun, engaging, or creative gameplay loops it may be worth spending time on. But it feels like a single player game at this point more than anything else. Literally no one around to interact with or even shoot at. How boring

Thank god for play speed x2. Although for Star Citizen gameplay, I think Youtube needs to implement a x3 option.

Threads dead but you ever have fun after some bong rips and after play you’ve got someone in your bed just chilling to music you give em a little spank ? Chill friends buddies whatever. I liked playing mirror conspiracy. You just hang out and chill. Used to date as hobby.

My profiles karma before I nuked it and it became SC focused was in dating advice.

It wasn’t just about going out for a goal. It was about going out to have fun w/out a goal in mind. I realized this one day while driving up a hill. It was about inviting someone to join you while you enjoying a night out at the end of the week.

Everything else unfolds after that.

Once I left off base w/some buddies while in school. We got a hotel for the weekend in town. They took off to a strip club but I had a date. The moment I met her I just made out with her. We had been speaking for a while.

I was up for coffee but there wasn’t anyplace near so we just went back to the room. My buddies where out paying for shows and tease while I was having fun with someone.

I was kind of a stepping stone tho. I never stuck around other long term. But I think the things I did especially with moms built up confidence in them. And with that, some used it to get their life going again w/someone while I traveled about.

Good friends. Never burn bridges, just have fun and be real.

I used to have what I called sanctuaries. Sometimes I’d be drained after a bit. Usually older women who I was friends with. It wasn’t just sex. I could just chill there over the weekend at their place and relax as friends. I’d cook and stuff too for us. They helped me recharge before I went out again for a while.

Iv met not just girls, but women. Girls are fun. Women are interesting.
