FDev's Arthur: "We think Thursday's stream will be really good, looking forward to it" RETURN OF GALNET?

[Rubbernuke]

I just can't wait for Thursday. I've picked the perfect reaction gif if it goes all pants:

[Codger]

My FD excitement muscle seems to have atrophied. And this doesn't exercise it much

 

[Red Anders]

News about news returning on a news channel? You been on the wacky sauce?

First day back working after two weeks leave, I think it's delirium setting in actually

To be fair if you watch the video closely for clues, I've noticed that at the mark 0:04 he says "I think Thursday is going to be a pretty good stream" he then rubs his nose with his thumb. Then at 0:10 the other guy says "There's something quite special about it I can't quite put my finger on." and precedes to touch his nose with his finger.

So I'm fairly certain that what ever we are dealing with here on Thursday is most probably going to be nose related.

Space boogers confirmed!

Sharon! (grr)

When they drop the news, they need to freezeframe and cut to..

So we are at a point where we are excited about removed features being potentially announced to be brought back into the game.

Hell, even then... I highly doubt it. I distinctly remember them saying "not on the roadmap" when referring to Galnet.
"No plans".

That means it's ded.
Completely.
Just like base building.

"Mugs Commanders, We have a lot of mugs to give away, with the old Galnet logo on the bottom, so tune in to our livestream"

What's special about it? I thought that's how you always look when the news is not Powerplay.

Mere pixels cannot convey that level of rage.

The price of fish. And the alleged return of galnet. As foreshown by two mugs. And their tea.

Apologies @XloubellXX I missed your quote o7

Thanks Hat, am suitably livid.

 

[Bottom Hat]

Lmao! When was base building a feature? I obviously missed that entire expansion, along with all the forum threads about it still being removed from the game then.... Get a grip mate

No, no, not dead, just resting.

I tried Life of Brian, but I couldn't stand the silliness and switched off after the first 10 minutes. It might have something to do with my poor English skills, which are not sufficient to see the original. And German dubbing voices are almost always unbearable. In addition, English humour is hard to translate and usually not understood anywhere outside of England anyway.

Not being condescending, but I really doubt it translates or dubs very well, particularly the dubbing. Especially as a lot of their jokes are where wordsmithmanship is rampant! (That's not a real word either, but I'm sure you get it ). I often watched dubbed films too, and find myself staring blankly at the screen after a joke, so I can empathize with you. Your English is fabulous though mate, I always thought you were american english speaking as your posts are always completely understandable, but I knew you weren't from the uk. Anyway, I'll leave you alone now, as I feel like I must sound like a bit of a weirdo!

 

[Bottom Hat]

But... but... these leaks promised!

Indeed lmao!

 

[Dutchman141]

Well my friend and I have had a very long talk about it and we decided that when Galnet is not back by June, err October, we're gonna quit playing Elite Dangerous.

Take that Fdev!!

 

[thistle]

This would then take place at the level of insider jokes. Which would not only be a very stupid idea, but also quite rude - in an international forum.

Standard language, same inference in any language I would have thought. They were simply saying we thing it's worth your while watching, it will be good.

There were no colloquialisms or special local terms.

(referring to the livestream, not Monty Python!)

So I'm fairly certain that what ever we are dealing with here on Thursday is most probably going to be nose related.

Each commentator is signalling he "nose" something ('knows' for non-English readers) ... so get ready for:
(a) an announcement about VR;
(b) an announcement about walking in ships;
(c) an announcement that Galnet will be back in Odyssey;
(d) an announcement that an announcement is coming soon.

You may choose any or all of the above

Edit - or none at all .... it's an ad for skin cleanser on noses

No, no, not dead, just resting.

Don’t you mean pining for the fjords?

 

[rrobes]

Me too mate! That guy has principles, and cajones to back them up with lol!

Hmm, sir, if you please sir, beg your pardon and indulgence, but I wish to bring a minor item to your esteemed attention...

"Cajones" means "drawers", as in a chest of "drawers", if I may suggest, the word (I'm sure it was the spell-check to blame) you surely meant was "cojones".

I'm sure that a person with "cajones" could still carry himself well, he would have room in his drawers for bits and pieces, but "cojones" is a bit easier and manlier, don't you think?
