State of the Game

Good form on entering the loonybin with a cat picture!

I'll be honest lads, I was fairly up in arms yesterday morning myself. But the amount of guffery from grown (allegedly) individuals about their video game, and the rapid descent into nastiness now has me hoping they not only don't reverse the decision, but retroactively yank the experimentals on EVERY CG/tech broker item.

The holy mortifying state of some of them.

Be great if Phase 3 is a 7A FSD after all... a plain unmodified one.

I totally agree Mick. I'd been a little jaded by some of their stupid decisions over the years, but some people's reactions (and more the behaviour and language) are a flanging disgrace.

As you say, some of these morons are supposed to be adults, but the way they seriously make accusations and slander people (especially Sally who clearly only ever wants to help and get feedback); are just astounding. I try to avoid threads like the one she has running, as I find it so difficult to not point out the puerility of some - mainly because I can't do it without calling a spade a spade.

I also find it embarrassing frankly, which brings me to the same conclusions as you - wanting FD to turn round and really kick these people in the nuts with regards to their behaviour. Sadly though it is like normal - a minority acting like gobshites, who will spoil things for the rest of us.



Still, that's enough of my monthly allocation of making one serious post, and one that also vaguely relates to the thread title. I shall leave this here, but you are not alone mate in your reaction, and there are just so many opportunities for FD to brutalise the idiots.

Right then, back to finding ways to insult Ender the flanger, as we still wait for him to glue himself into the counter top...

I nearly dropped my moist gussets when I read that serious post of yours.

according to the
"it's getting better" people


and the "it's dying" people


the steamcharts seem to show that the game is exactly in the same state it has been in since it was released

Elite Dangerous - Steam Charts

An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.

And that instead, 2020 (and the first bits of 2021) was an aberration of popularity ...perhaps caused by free give aways and people stuck at home.

There is a steam stats thread going already if you want to chime in there.

Seconded!

I'm frankly lost for words. Still in a state of shock, to the point where your moist gussets don't even register.

There's a steam stat thread posting all the time. hence it is now a state of the game.

And unfortunately, as expected they walked it back. So now the aforementioned gobshites are now going to be puffing out their chests and stomping around with the "See? Our behaviour got us what we wanted! What will we slag them all off about next to?!?!" attitude.

For a second I thought that was my cat.

Nobody wants to see pictures of your y(cat), Leo. The notion of BH's animal fueled tirade from earlier has left me jaded.

EDIT: OOOH, A COLLOQUIAL TERM FOR CAT HAS BEEN CENSORED!!!

Not to worry the stoppers will return if the next Bridge CG doesn't come with a class 7 FSD.

It left me nauseus.

 

[ubermick]

It left me nauseus.

As long as it left you the ability to sit.

Which is more than I think we can say for poor Bravestarr, the night he had...

Pester power always works with fdev. Looking forward to all the 'but it was only worth 1Ly!' posts

I managed to completely remove Bravestarr from my memory but Factab brought it all rushing back.

The solid state of the game is as steam. When will the real Bottom Hat come back and rescue us all?
