What if MoMA's source is crobberts? That would explain his delusional predictions about what is about to be shown as well as his smugness towards being the one with the uncle who works at Nintendo CIG.

Meeting in an underground carpark at night (they were going to be above ground but MoMA clipped into the floor), they are a pair of shadowy figures T-Posing in their underwear (clothing bug) as a piece of paper floats between them. Head straining to see the writing on account of his body suddenly spasmodically flopping all around in front of him, MoMA gazes upon the scrawl across the paper.

"Game is amazing, mulitplayer fantastic, totally grey-boxxed"

In elation, MoMA flies off into the night by the power of his compressed air spouting nipples, the gentle "pssssssshhhhhhhhhhh" a promise of source secrecy. PARPthroat will surely bring down Derek Tarmas.

He started doing it after one of his many beltdowns about TheAgent, 8ace and Derek so yeah I've always figured it was just pot-stirring. But in fairness I treat his predictions the same as anyone's, I wait to see what they get right and go "That's neat" afterwards.

Weren't they making a documentary of this as part of the stretch goals? I remember seeing a pic with sandy and a bunch of really expensive looking equipment back in like 2015.

With how things are going I would be shocked (with the voltage tripling every second) if they actually put that thing out. The narration would have to be as though it was a success story (it is their narrative after all), and I don't think you can call anything but a release a success. Hell I suppose in that regard, there's no conclusion to it.

Considering they were filming it over a year or 2 ago, I'm sure it was all portrayed as if the game was a huge triumphant success.

So they will need to wait until the game is actually released to show anything

It will be pretty awkward because I'm sure by the time they have to cut out any scenes with filthy leavers in it, the only people left in the movie will be Chris and Sandi and maybe Ben

can you translate for the people who hadn't played Dwarf Fortress

Thanks to certain circumstances and pressures a dwarf can "tantrum" which is probably closer to being described as "going loving berserk and trashing everything and everyone nearby". A tantrum spiral is where the damage wrought by an angry dwarf causes other dwarves to start throwing tantrums who in turn do damage that causes other dwarves to tantrum and so on until your entire fortress is just hosed beyond recovery.

I just made the natural connection that if you put dwarves in space there would be an inevitable moment where a tantrum spiral on a space colony causes said colony to be dropped on the planet.

Just seen Lethality's tweet about player-built stations supposedly coming in 3.0 or soon after.

They can never allow players to build their own stations, not only because the 100 1 systems that they have in the game would get filled up quicker than Ben's stomach, but because the dedicated citizens of the 'verse would make stations that are a gazillion times better than anything CIG have come out with - and probably a gazillion times quicker too.

I think it's fair to say they're not worried about that eventuality anyway, because if it's anything like the rest of their work the entire system will get "implemented" and attempting to put one part against another will cause the entire structure to begin wildly vibrating before launching off in a random direction, killing the player regardless of where they were floating at the time.
