You still don't understand. It's not about being critical. It's about spending 50 times more time criticizing a game than what you spent testing it, there's something weird...
Love those rules and attempts at goal post moving. 50? Why not 53? Does not matter really, as that would still prolly apply to you and Dan offtopics here, most of the critics of Elite in the rest of the forum and many many “refugee” Youtubers.
 
Can't criticise professional footballers unless you've played professional football yourself.

Can't criticise professional developers unless you are a professional developer yourself. And even if you are, you have to be a games developer.

Or at least were one, because you don't even have to ship a game for 30+ years and people will still throw money at you for pretty pictures, apparently.
 
This is most upsetting news:

Reminder to CIG: the Merlin and the Archimedes exist​


Despite ship-to-ship docking being the prime feature of 3.13, almost every subsequent patch has rendered this aspect of the Constellations increasingly useless and frustrating. Is this the same fate of refueling? Completely abandoned and broken 4 patches in?

3.15: Merlin not being replaced with a claimed Constellation
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-25746

3.15 (reported in 3.17): Only the person who docks the Merlin/Archimedes can undock it
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-41353

3.16: Merlin sometimes goes missing when Constellation is stored
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-29459

3.17: Trying to replace the original docked snub with a new one breaks the Constellation (which is extra annoying because the Archimedes and Merlin are finally spawnable from ground stations, AND the Archimedes can now be bought ingame)
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-41352

3.17 (and multiple similar reports from previous patches that get archived from lack of reproductions): Target and self status of Merlin and Archimedes don't work
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-43234
^This guy also needs more contributions

Other minor but reproducible issues that I can't find the issue council posts for, or the issue council posts keep getting archived due to lack of reproductions: The rear hatch of the Constellation won't close when the snub is destroyed or if the ship is retrieved without a snub, and there still exists substantial shield holes around the back of the Connie where the snub can be destroyed from under the shields. Merlins consistently lose a wing when the constellation is retrieved and the Merlin hasn't yet been destroyed.

I think what they meant to say was:

Thank you CIG for this initial feature release which will doubtless go from strength to strength from here! 🎉🎉

 
Well this is going to take awhile to download... I guess I'll do it overnights (plural). I do hope that if I quit the installer part-way through that it'll resume the download where it left off next time I launch it. Right?

Given some of my previous adventures in simply installing the game...

Parts One through Three was trying to actually get it updated (and then reinstalled), thanks to CIG's notoriously quirky patcher. I had thought hoped, given that the last freefly event went relatively smoothly, this would also be the case. Nope! But time and perseverence prevailed, and I was eventually about to start the game!

may I offer you some uplifting music while you wait?

Hello, Doctor, a person I know seems to have a creepy obsession with a video game. Like, they cannot help but constantly talk about it, even during discussions of other games. All signs point to their mind unhealthily fixating on it 24/7, despite warnings from others. Can you prescribe any treatments or medications that might help them? We'd like to improve their happiness and quality of life so that they may enjoy other games in peace :)

I have to be honest... when I read this I had no idea whether you were talking about SC fans or SC critics. The statement seems to apply equally well to both camps. Perhaps that was your aim? 🤷‍♂️ 😇

Something something not settling something something shareholders.
 
Hahaha! I've been a F1 fan for over 30 years now, and i've spent infinitely more time cheering and criticising F1 than i've ever driven a F1 car 😂
i've missed the part where you were cheering SC in your analogy.
Some here are just haters spending an insane amount of time hating the game. Funny to see them explaining why it's normal, comparing it to what fans do, missing the key fact they are not fans.
No problem for me, extreme haters spend a lot of time hating and you find extreme haters for subject in life. Still weird 😅

Nobody here hates anything, that seems to be some sort of projection or delusion on your part, it's a "game" (permanent Alpha), what is there to hate? I suggest saving those words for when you need them and when they are applicable.

It’s interesting how you are quick to raise your fist against « extreme haters » of SC in the SC thread but you don’t say a word for exemple about Dan’s extreme hate of ED here.

SC critiques here at least are at their right and just place. If you think those critiques are obsessive then, how obsessive you think it is to go to the extreme of continuously criticizing a game in the thread of a different game? Sadly in your all righteous finger pointing you have forgotten to mention those, which makes you also complicit or at least accepting that particular ED hater obsession. The day you show you are as upset about those as you apparently are about the rest (and even better if you also stop your own off topic digs at ED yourself) we may consider taking your views on the matter a bit more seriously.
