I had a really funny situation but I think it was unintentional. I had cleared out an entire base except for 1 enemy. I was running around looking for him and he yelled out “Stop looking. There’s no one here!” I laughed and thought it was super funny.

Absolutely this. They released a fantastic multiplayer mode, and even if they didn’t, all the devs would still deserve a break. Progressing on a damn season pass is a minor issue. Is it weird that I remember a time when you just played video games for fun... not for pointless cosmetics?

Hot damn. It is so refreshing to hear “We’re on break. We care. We will be working on it. But we are on break.”

I hope that break is real, honored, and felt for all levels of the production team. I’m enjoying the game and will gladly wait on improvements delivered by a healthy team. 

Whatever. I’m already resigned to the idea that I might as well just be playing Halo 2, playing for fun, and any appearance upgrades that could be gained via progression are mere abstractions.

Meanwhile, between E:D and even SC, it’s like nobody learned from the 30 years of progress since the last Elite game. Freelancer got it right. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw gets it right. Allegiance mostly got it right. No Man’s Sky got it right. Nobody plays a space game to practice their landings.

There’s been an auto-dock ship item for a long time now.  I like docking though, when else besides combat do you get to show off your piloting skills?

Yep, the “but it’s an alpha!” defense (often repeated by diehards mere moments after “but it has more features and gameplay and quality than tons of other games I’m playing it and loving it and it’s amazing and totally worth the money!”) is basically THE go to defense for Star Citizen believers.

Bingo.  Absolutely nailed it.

Still waiting for the “real” Duke Nukem Forever that will never come out b/c it will reveal the existence of extraterrestrials on Earth.

we’re not really in a great position to be casting stones or pointing fingers, man.

I’ve never been one for forming my opinions based solely on what others say, if at all possible. I’ve tried Star Citizen time and time again over the years... It somehow manages to perform worse than Elite—albeit while looking better in some ways, but not really in any I care about—and for the first several years I…

It Is 2021. Star Citizen Has Raised $400,000,000, And Is Still Not Out.

I’m so sorry that someone in the pendings turned you to dust Luke.

Meanwhile Elite: Dangerous has been out in full-retail for 7 years as of next month, despite being just as ambitious except in scale... Because instead of one or two sad planetary systems, Elite has a 1:1 simulation of the entire Milky Way Galaxy’s 400,000,000,000+ star systems.

If any Star Citizen weirdos come in here saying iT Is OuT, and you’re talking about the empty/broken modules that are currently playable, I will turn to dust. 

Agreed. I wish more people understood stand up. The second a stand up comedian takes the stage I automatically assume they don’t believe everything they say. Some things ? Sure.  Most things? No. It’s comedy. Find it funny or don’t but also don’t take it too seriously. 

I realize that humor is subjective (and stand-up sometimes especially so), but I still think the guy is incredibly funny and cutting edge and not even the least bit generic. Tim Allen could never.

What’s funny is he makes fun of you specifically in the special. If you watched the entire special (sounds like you didn’t) and came away with, “Dave is transphobic”, then I don’t know what you were watching. I laughed, I cried, I empathized with multiple parties. This was stand-up at its highest level and i pity you…

No, he declared that he stands with cis gendered women. You declared that he stands with people who want to see your friends dead. This is the example of emotional response that I mentioned. 

you realize it’s standup right? you know, that whole “don’t take it seriously, i’m not actually gonna cum inside of a fishbowl” kind of shtick? how many times does he gotta come out and say he’s fucking joking.
