Is this farce still going on?
Been a while since i last checked in here, quickly brief me of the amazing stuff i missed the last, lets say, 2 months.

CIG changed their ToS to say effectively 'gently caress you no refunds you can't sue us'
They pulled out of E3 because they were busy, Sandi went along anyway
A few gaming journalism (paaaarp) sites picked up on the ToS change and went 'maybe this isn't the best thing' but it wasn't particularly hard hitting.
Activision showed CoD:IW trailer and it blew SC away, looks like everything SC isn't, including 'fun', a 'game' and 'existing'
Derek Smart was right.

Oh and Beet Wagon got bit by a snake and then came onto discord to ask what to do about it rather than going to get it checked out straight away. Pro goon if you ask me.

Cattes and dogges are both good.

My cat is sleeping on a plastic bag nest I made for him, and it's adorable. It's been a week since I had to take him to the emergency vet because he couldn't pee and now he's back to as close to normal as he's ever been.

Also Star Citizen is a piece of poo poo and it's never going to be even 1% of what the spergiest backers are demanding.

I'm glad your cat is doing good. You are a good person for looking after your pet.

no, if derek had posted that more than 3 hours before it happened... like a couple weeks ago? sure

you didn't answer me about reshoots... how can it be a reshoot when we've never had a movie set before?

don't need a set for performance capture. so if there's really a movie set, it means they're doing something new.

right now, there is no movie set because there's no proof of it

Why would them making a movie/set which nobody asked for be a good thing, when they have a game they're failing to make that people /have/ asked and paid for?

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

So, I stopped the video at 2:15 to answer the question. I came to this game for immersive gameplay. For a level of complexity that sets new standards. I don't want to push a button and have an action completed. I want to have that action be something that I create myself. Say, making a meal on a ship. I want to have to open a drawer and pull it out. Open it up. Collect other ingredients to prepare the meal. Put it in the microwave. Cook it. Then sit down properly and eat it. Whether that is alone or with other crewmates. Will doing this take time? Yes. Should there be a mechanic to bypass this? Yes. Professions should offer similarly fine details. Let me in on the accountant side of running a business. Do my books balance at the end of the week? Will I need to do more of something to reach a goal that I've set for myself earlier? Do I have enough UEC to pay my crews or NPC's for the work they've done for me as my employees? Are their enough raw materials in my inventory to get those widgets made at the factory so I can sell them in my shoppes? This is the level of detail I want in Star Citizen. I'd go even deeper than this if I thought more people would get on board.
