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).

I never knew that about Caroll - I learn loads from you buddy, thank you. Genuine appreciation.
This thread has gone strange....! ;)

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.

What...

Cheese.......??1?9?

Only kidding mate - I couldn't write anything more pertinent than Captain Borko above so I was obliged to make a silly comment ;) What Borko says is true though - rarely on here do I read a text wall and not skip to the end after paragraph 1.

Always helps to get it off your chest - I tried that once as a chatup line to a girl who was talking about her bikini.

My eggs suffered...

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".
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.

I still don't get it from both extremes - if there is something i think is complete crap as a thread, then i skip it 🤷‍♀️
