That's okay, you can drop any pretense of trying to actually make a game around your crypto scam.

Congrats for banning two innocent customers for "security reasons" (apparently code for "your own incompetence"), that's definitely the kind of thing you need to make your victims customers trust your shady bullshit.

The article is not about how the game shouldn't be political (because this notion is absurd). It's about how idiotic the treatment of the writer's views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.

The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.

Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we're not in the early 00's anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I'd expect a non-negligible part of these don't even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.

The most vivid memory I have of this is the crazy title screen music (CPC version, not sure if every versions had it).

Probably why Tony Stark's father is named Howard, too.

Cult of the Lamb has a blood moon ritual that makes everything gloomy and summons the ghosts of your dead followers.

You can harvest them for unique decorations.

The higher ups? Yeah, probably. This was clearly an attempt to embark their employees so they'd kickstart a hype. It didn't work.

Ubisoft devs are probably mostly decent people, but the more we hear about the upper management, the worse.

I'm usually rather passionate about space exploration and stuff, but we don't need to send people to Mars that bad.

There are 5 of them and they're worth $63,000 because they said so. And they hope they can convince enough people of that so they can sell them quick and forget they ever existed.

Remember that time Ubi management tried to promote NFT to their employees and give some to them as a "bonus"? And then their own employees just told them to fuck off with that bullshit?

Ubisoft needs to crash and burn.

I've been playing mostly expeditions for a while (on PS4, occasionally VR : on a non-pro PS4, this is rough). I am getting a PC VR headset soon so I am waiting for that to double dip and make a clean save again.

Good thing is there are ways to unlock past expedition rewards on PC. I'd have no way to transfer them otherwise. They need to stop this limited time FOMO bullshit. I understand why the old expeditions themselves can't be maintained but there should be ways to get the unlockable stuff.

What do you find not tolerable in standard Firefox and what did this browser do that made it better?

I know firefox is rather memory heavy, but despite that it's still my go-to browser, both for desktop and mobile.

Well it's likely, the expeditions make everyone go to the same spots and this one is particular is supposed to be done without hyperdrive, so everyone is going to visit the same 5 systems and their planets.

I like how all we have are theropod tracks roughly the size of a sparrow's, so artists are like "yeah, I'm just gonna draw a sparrow with tiny clawed arms"

I mean, that's probably a reasonable assumption as any about how they might have looked, but still, it's funny.

Which are not, by far, most people. I am not sure why you're bringing the subject of banks. Of course they're shitty and mostly run by bastards. Okay.

But cryptomoney people are not banks, or groups of individuals. They're individuals. And they're in it because of the "get rich quick" scheme and push others to get into the pyramid's lower levels, because that's how they might get richer. So they're either bastards or being conned, or probably both.

Proof of work is a power/hardware catastrophe, and proof of stake is entrusting power to the already rich again. Crypto is not a new economy model, it's a bad subset of the old one with fancy fake ideals.

Last time I checked, most individuals are not, in fact, banks.

You're probably right. But getting free rein and an almost infinite source of funding is certainly not that environment.

For all the talks about freedom and "decentralised" utopia the crypto bro cults spew all the time, they are really just obsessed with making absurd amounts of money fast. Their only motivation is greed.

Can't say I'm surprised some regard Dubai as a goal. They only see the rich man's club, they don't care about how the sausage is made.

Roberts is relatively well-known in and out of the Star Citizen community for being a perfectionist at the best times.

In a parallel universe, Roberts would have been allowed to continue working on Freelancer, and it would still be in development hell in 2024 with no end in sight.
