Watched some Citizens having fun last night :)

The streamer spawned in invisible to her friend, with her marker on another planet, so decided to troll him with ghostly punches. Having punched him out of a lift, and got confused by him teleporting away from her as he fled, the first haunting ended like this...


Although he'd fired blindly at her a few times, she'd never shown any hit markers since leaving the medbay.

Their second haunting round gives a hint as to how the injury was probably sustained...


They never did solve the invisibility, but she did run around holding an invisible gun for the next five minutes, which felt right. And most importantly, they had fun ;)

Something that I find very common when I watch SC streamers is that people tend to freak out over simple nonsense like launching themselves with an Ursa from a ship, a fighter doing a flyby, knocking out an NPC, etc... it gives the feeling that they either haven't played any other video game in their life, or they're just acting.

But without a doubt, what I dislike the most, is that they usually scream a lot and it's really annoying; the "clip of the day" videos are a great example; all screaming, all freaking, all nonsense... sometimes seems to be the typical youtuber with content focused on kids/teenagers, giving the feeling that the gameplay is amazingly funny, when the reality is that today, after more than 8 years of development, no one can try to make a serious gameplay in SC.

People who play SC several hours for several days a week, the only thing they can do are "meaningless casual gameplays" over and over again... They can't try to make "normal gameplays" because that would only serve to show the miseries and lack of real game content, which I understand would be highly inadvisable for their "unsponsored" streams.

8 years with the same issue.

Its a common accusation from those of us who are skeptical of CIG against those who hype up the game.

They see a shop vendor and start making silly statements about how something like it has never been done before... as the vendor fails to actually work.

...Or even keeps inadvertantly 'working' by shoving an inner thought menu full of coffee options in front of your face when you're just trying to ignore him/her totally and just pick up a bottle of water from the stall...It's worse than going into Starbucks :rolleyes:

It does sound a bit exciting, though.

True story. A good friend got sent up to visit a data-centre there, with instructions along the lines of: "Drive smartly though the adjacent war zone, keep you windows wound up, don't wear a suit, wait by the double barriers, and park as far as you can away from the 10-metre barb-wire topped fencing, as the local 'sport' is to lob bricks to try to hit cars. NB they target anything new, expensive or shiny."

I believe that Slough refused to be twinned with it.

Oh hey we used to do that with my friends as teenagers. Different country, same sport. Also connecting opposing poles on parked car batteries with a large metal stick was a fun one.

Speaking of which, how's the ship engineer profession coming along in SC.

It's not that bad, you'll have all the Americans believing that crap about there being areas in the UK where even the police are scared to go

I used to work in Feltham, home to the youth offenders centre.

It's not a nice part of west London, but it's not all bad, although when out walking one day (in my suit) I did get a tin of beans thrown at me anonymously from a house. I threw the tin back and asked if they had a full one instead. They didn't.

My favorite from my freeflys has the been how they take several seconds to react to your presence, and then the greetingā€™s so wooden, and expressions so exaggerated, that they ping my ā€œPuppeteer Parasiteā€ detector. Iā€™ve only seen one shopkeeper act in any way that feels normal.

Half a billion dollars spent so far, folks, and CIGs spending keeps growing exponentially, while their accomplishments decay at the same rate.
