Excellent, I can get back to my bottle of scotch.
I think this should be done anyway, as I don't know who she is - plus it'll be funny!
Which one is SJA?

I'm surprised there's no threads about the wonders of getting ship orientation telemetry for all of the users who have dynamic cockpit simulators.
Was that extremely important feature not delivered? and if not, where are all the outrage threads?

I think you should start one, just because it's always good to share your feelings as widely as possible. And you've been saturating our pages with borderline moaning this afternoon, so sharing the love is the right thing to do.
Plus, I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't care.
Sounds like you got lucky with Sally - good form, but probably fairer to keep your conquests quiet.
Easy... dynamic cockpit simulators probably won't work on consoles
Merely repeating a line, that I thought was funny, from today's SCN stream...leave it to you to make it into something its not...
Lol I was trying to wipe that off my iPad screen….
Also who’s SJA, I haven’t been paying attention…
you should keep track of the top 20 countdowns ...it's our view into the priority list of Fdev. This was #7 ...
edit: also, unrelated. Moonfall trailer looks awesome.
Yup, it's in my job description
I don't follow popular music charts.
Edit - serious question, is that a movie? I've not seen any trailers yet.
It's the latest Roland Emmerich movie. You might remember him from classics like Independence Day, The day after Tomorrow, 2012, Godzilla (1998), Stargate and many many other tepid movies.
He recently criticised the marvel movie franchise for being predictable which while true is funny coming from a bloke who's been remaking the same movies for 30+ years.
is court ordered volunteer work considered a job though?Yup, it's in my job description
yea, lots of people dont think it's a great way to prioritize development
The trailer looks like he's rolled at least 2 reruns into his 'new' movie... I don't think I'll be queuing for the premiere...
Yea it's his classic disaster flick but with a mysterious alien component tacked on.
i haven't queued for a premier movie in over 2 years. stream everything (free or otherwise). theaters are dead.
it's not a movie i'd pay money for...but it's probably watchable

I read the book about two decades ago. It was a decent sci-fi novel about a comet that smashes into the moon, unleashing a rain of destruction upon the earth. I am not surprised that one-trick-pony Emmerich would glom onto it. Sadly, in better hands, this could be a good movie. But with Emmerich at the helm, this is going to be just another throwaway flick where the majority of the budget and effort is going into the CGI. Such movies don't even really need a director....
EDIT: Figures. The premise of the original novel was too brainy for Emmerich. It looks like he turned it into a Transformers movie based on that trailer.

sounds like the only commonality is that it's got the moon involved.
this movie seems to be about the moon being a hollow space ship/station ...inhabited by some nanite life form. And it's intent on taking out the earth by moving the moon to the earth so it can more easily consume everything i guess - due to our meddling with it in the space race.
Yeah, it looks like Emmerich read McDevitt's novel and did a wholesale rewrite either to avoid licensing issues or because it wasn't action-y enough for him. The novel was a more sedate day-by-day account of the moon's eventual destruction, and how a wide cast of characters deal with this impending doom. I think Emmerich pulled a typical Hollywood of ripping the cover off the novel and handing it to his CGI guy to make a movie about the cover art.

to be fair, the percentage of books where the covers imply something better than what you'll actually read inside is probably in favor of the cover.
I'm not sure Emmerich had even heard about the book. There's no credit to McDevitt, and the story looks completely different.
