If I felt shame, I wouldn't be posting in this thread. Or even do half the things I do, really.

Slightly? Nearly 12k posts and dubious memes speak another language
In Germany we would call this a "Sommerloch" the time where actually going outside and enjoying the summer leads to no interesting news...
It's a tricky one, and a sort of metaphor for ED:I'm at a stage now where I have about 90% of the Lego I need to finish things....I'm debating with myself if I need to strip it all back and rebuild (since I have nearly all the structural parts now).
I might make it anyway and then push the button........
You could dismantle and start again, upgrading the structure with the benefit of knowing what's needed on top;
...or leave well alone as it works sufficiently and just enjoy making the fun bits on top.
I don't envy your decision but I'm sure you'll nail it & have fun doing so whatever you choose
I like to call them "avant-garde". It's the same really, but it sound more intellectual by pretending it's the other people's fault.Slightly? Nearly 12k posts and dubious memes speak another language
I also think we are largely well past that now - possibly to the point of no return, in terms of mental health...!
You can't lose what you don't possess.
If not, we make one up - the Lego language
We have a similar word here, but it's more down to the great british summer. We would call it "rain".
That is a very excellent point!

I make up words all the time, it's kind of a hobby of mine. Very few of them make sense though, so I will leave it up to you guys to make proper so up!

Brother Erei did lay an ace card with this, I can't contest!
Apparently it was a Lewis Caroll thing.
Frederic Brown seemed to have enjoyed it to, as he wrote "Night of the Jabberwock", and he use a lot of Lewis Carol weird words in it (the main protagonist is a Lewis Caroll fan).

If I start feeling dirty and ashamed, it is for finding myself defending FD/ED in 99% of my posts outside of this thread. I'm still mad at them for offlinegate, I hate the entire "pay to paint your ship in a flat colour" model which feels like an insult when they sold me what should have been an everything-included entrance ticket, and I don't have enough free brain RAM to remember every addition to the game that made me cry. Heck, it took me over 6 month after the game launched to find it in myself to still give it a chance after offlinegate, and I've been on multiple 3-12 months breaks, eventually reading insipid patch notes after patch notes, and shaking my head at the stomach-turning pay-attention-to-me-senpai community that FD's control freak tendencies regarding player agencies have incentivised (Look at me, I'm emergent! Give me a faction! No, me, I'm emergenter, give me a CG! Don't listen to them Senpai, and mention ME on GalNet! No, everyone knows I'm the alpha-emergent, hence why my request for a decal should...).
And yet, here I am, floored by the absolute brain-dead rants from e-diots that think that "me, my 3 friends, my dog and my imaginary unicorn" are so representative of the stupidly disparate community of this game that everything they want would make everyone happy, and of course, would be pretty simple to implement.
So floored that I can't even find it in myself to properly express how shocking I find various parts of this "release". And make no mistake, while I'm absolutely loving the stupid space cowboy/hobo simulator I got, FD don't want to ask me what I think of things like performances, uninspired "increase" of landable planet types, insulting my intelligence with that "magnetic boots activated" soundbite or breaking the cosmetics that they had the gall to charge me for in the first place.
So floored that were I not me, and were reading my-but-not-mine posts, this guy would instantly come to mind:
I hate myself for it, and I blame FD and its player community equally.
This was an unexpected burst of repressed honesty. The memeing will resume shortly. Thank you.

Nope. No need to hate yourself. You wrote a wall of text and I found it compelling enough to NOT skip to the end. I was hooked enough to read it all. That, sir, is an accomplishment.If I start feeling dirty and ashamed, it is for finding myself defending FD/ED in 99% of my posts outside of this thread.

Bah, i really read that wall of text
Fits perfectly - listening to some Germans speaking is a pleasant experience - reminds me of stepping on Lego bricks barefoot.If not, we make one up - the Lego language
To be fair, it works on both side. White and dark knights are the same people, and they are both toxic. The other day I was a tired of having to defend myself from REAL issues I had in game (no "I want a pony") by people who kept going "your pc" and "I don't have it so it's not true".If I start feeling dirty and ashamed, it is for finding myself defending FD/ED in 99% of my posts outside of this thread.

Just have a look at the planet generation issue thread. Half of it is people deliberately trolling it for some reason I don't understand. Whether you agree those issues are important or not is not the point. It is to me, and several others. Fixing it would make the game better not worse.
But hey, that's forum life for you.
That's typical - we have a small moment of self reflection and the nerd answers something from 3 pages back
