How's it going now, Star Citizen? Another record breaking revenue year so far; that means lots of progress in making the game, right? RIGHT?
  • Star Citizen shit makes me so mad. If a tiny fraction of what they’ve promised actually existed as a functional cohesive game it would probably be sick. When I first heard about SC I was obsessed with it, how could you not be? I know this is the oldest grift in vidya games, but at least Peter molyneux delivered a fun game, if it was a shadow of what was promised.

  • Not beating the whitest woman alive allegations
  • I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.

  • Here's Canada's most common game. No it's not dying in the frigid outskirts of Saskatoon after being dumped there by police (although that sounds exciting). It's Hockey!
  • Thanks to this thread I'm now going through common sports and seeing what the trade off is between minimal equipment and typical rules.

    Hockey's minimal version is "shinny", where you still need a puck, skates and a stick, as well as a usable ice surface which is realistically hard to come by even in cold weather areas with lakes/rivers due to the way ice freezes inconsistently. F tier.

    American Football's minimal version would be two-hand touch, which is still fun and can be played with just a ball. B tier.

    Rugby is similar to American Football, only the touch version doesn't really work, but hits aren't as hard so you can get away without gear. A tier.

    Baseball needs a ball, bat and glove. I guess you could play some positions without a glove, but it would detract from the game. C tier.

    All racquet sports need a net, ball/device, and racquet. C tier

    Volleyball has some drills/games that can be done without a net, but to really "play" you need the net + ball. C tier.

    Basketball needs a ball and hoop. Fairly easy to find in a city, but still a costly piece of infrastructure. F tier.

    Soccer is the only S tier I can think of because you really just need a ball to get 90% of the fun from the sport (full nets give you free reign for goal height).

  • Neighborhoods in Belfast are being declared "Israeli Goods Free Zones" with over 100 businesses signed up
  • I found the easiest approach was to buy a little adapter and refill their proprietary bottles from a 5lb tank. It costs me like $30 to refill the big tank and I only need to do it a couple times a year. And that money goes to my local homebrew store, not genocide supporters.
