Lol it's hideous, just a giant space dildo. I always enjoy these little glimpses of their big ships we get sporadically over the years. You can watch the dreams.txt slowly die.

I'm sure of all of the complex game mechanics needed for it to function as more than a giant single seat fighter will be in the game any day now. Maybe by 2032 that marketplace will be in tier 0.

it's just such an aesthetic failure to what the theoretical idea is too

a mobile marketplace should be garish and approachable. It should land basically anywhere. It should unfold into market stalls all along the outside. It should have freaking billboards on it! Instead it is a mobile food court that even in their concept art sits on desolate landing pads, distant from customers and looking like AlienWarship5 from the asset pack.

CIG wants to be like the big developer houses so badly, they're even implementing bad HR policies and firing people for speaking out... Just like the big companies would do!

this is the biggest thing for me, like SC is sort of playable, and you can get in a ship after twenty minutes or so and sort of do missions, but everything is so insanely bland. i keep coming back to it, but CoD: IW has a similar aesthetic but done incredibly well, and it's lots of fun only because it's done well.

I'll cope with jank if there are fun crazy ideas, and cope with bland if it's really tight, but ultrabland and superjanky is such an aggressively unattractive combination.

Look, it's not like every year has broken every funding record, poor CIG simply doesn't have the money to increase wages.

Also, they'll soon have those new, huge, modern offices ready so people who lose their own homes can probably live there 24/7 and forget about commuting.

Jokes aside, this "pandemic is over, everything must return to normal" push you see all over the world is built on the suffering and sacrifice of several at risk people and/ or their loved ones, plus a few unlucky healthy ones ofc. Since governments all over decided "everything is normal again" at risk groups are now left to fend for themselves with no safeguards whatsoever and must simply decide whether to risk infecting themselves/ their loved ones at work/ commuting or get fired.
Same goes with soaring prices when it comes to gas, bills and certain goods due to shortages of certain raw materials (oil, flour etc...). Many people are finding it hard to make ends meet as their wage hasn't changed while expenses went way up.
2020/2022 didn't create these problems, it simply exposed all the poo poo the system is built on.

Can add to this, pretty sure I had Covid back in August-Early September of 2019, had a cough for a decent while and felt like poo poo, which is no different to my usual feeling really with my chronic illnesses.

First Covid jab and I get a bloodshot eye immediately, shaking for 2 hours straight and a warm heart, the nurses at the church they were giving the shots out were good enough to keep an eye on me during most of it then said that there's no reason I shouldn't get the second one.


Safe to say I ignored that advice lmao, I'll get my flu jabs because I've never had an issue with them but gently caress the Covid jab personally, if someone wants it then fair do's to them but I can't knock CIG for getting rid of a vaccine requirement either given such a policy is privacy intruding as gently caress and somewhat coercive honestly.

I've never even heard "a warm heart" in this context before and can't find anything on a cursory google (in part because the common meaning of "kind" clogs the results). Wonder what exactly they meant by that.

He surely wasn't talking about his own kind disposition.

You can get a sense of warmth/ burn in the chest for some conditions, or during certain medical procedures if you get a reaction to the dye they're using like in MRIs.
But dude prolly has heartburn or simply panicked due to being a conspiracy oriented wuss.
I actually call bs on his whole story because someone with a chronic illness who complains about his chest and shakes for hours after a vaccine would almost certainly be admitted to an hospital to be checked rather than just "having nurses keep an eye on me". And people like him simply make up stories of "terrible stuff that has happened to me/ my relatives/ my friends" just to spread their nonsense.

You're right that it's probably heartburn and that feels kinda obvious in hindsight.

That said yeah, this absolutely sounds like a panic attack (which the nurses recognized and just kept an eye on them until they'd made it through) if not fabricated outright.

One week for openly trolling, flaming, homophobic remarks and freely calling other users re**rds whenever they disagreed.

It makes sense when you think about it, he didn't criticize CIG or the game so no serious actions are required.
Also, better to not antagonize people whenever they share ideas most of their community agrees with, don't want paying customers getting angry!

Citizens will just restate their own embellished bootstrap narratives and "gently caress you got mine" attitudes. Then they'll stroke themselves off over how their 100k salaries insulate them from the concerns of little people like QA testers, even though its nowhere even close to real wealth and they're just getting poorer like everyone else in the 99% of America.

All of the billionaire handwringing over global population decline stems from the fact that people like them need a consistent labor surplus to exploit. Thats why they always talk about it in macoreconomic terms, and never mention how the environment and individual quality of life would be vastly better off with fewer people in the world.
