Maybe not Update 5 but some kind of update tonight.

Never watch the streams, so it must have been somewhere else for me to notice it. Don't remember where, though.
Twitter? Seems to be the most popular channel for such things. I was vaguely aware of the announcement but I can't remember where I saw or heard it. Statistically for me it was most likely to have been on Lave Radio.

Nope, not Tw@tter either. I'm not up to date on my shots enough to ever be caught dead in that cesspool.
There is something very wrong with a society where what is often the the most useful -- or at least rapid -- source of information delivers it alongside a flood of toxic waste.

Still, on more than one occasion I have been slightly "ahead of the curve" thanks to information I first saw on Twitter and may not have seen elsewhere, and in a couple of cases it's even possible (although very difficult to prove) that such early knowledge may actually have saved someone's life. But yes, a good mental hosing down is necessary after every session in there. It's like diving for pearls in a sewer.

As for FD, it's always bugged me that they choose to push news out on Twitter and Reddit ahead of their own official support forums, but I guess they can argue that those places are where most of the eyeballs are.
 
The change was notified quite correctly.

What do you mean you've never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven's sake, mankind, it's only four light years away, you know. I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that's your own lookout.

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee,
my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!"

Quite.

On my first (and last) foray into Tw@tter, I quickly noticed that it reminded me of Usenet. More specifically alt.flame.

But only if you first remove all signs of intelligence, wit, humor and self-awareness from alt.flame.

Alt.flame was glorious.
 
btw, if you missed it, for 1st July it's also scheduled the first round of devs grilled by quesitons on stream (unless they reschedule it)

Vogon poetry! We are doomed!
