I don't know if this is true but it was very fun to read.

Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. And nice thinking with using SVGs for scaling.

Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.

My condolences. I don't even dislike the voice, his attitude just makes him so punchable. You think he's some kind of expert at first but then it dawns on you that he's just confidently stupid.

A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn't watch it because my view of him was souring.

From what clips I've seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).

*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.

I believe Space Station 14 fits your criteria exactly if I'm interpreting it correctly. Space Station 13 would as well if not for the fact that player accounts must still be centralized to a server. That server is currently under a cyber attack, which really shows the importance of decentralization (in this instance, I'm not that big a fan of the concept).

Further edit: after reading your other comments, definitely try out either SS13 or 14. I don't play much these days because server variety has fallen off a cliff but the idea is all sorts of communities pop up with their own server which could deviate heavily from wherever they forked from. This led to all sorts of different playing experiences. Try some out to see if they fit your preferences.

For me it was the original Modern Warfare 3. I played that campaign a lot as a kid, but didn't have internet back then so no multiplayer and no one to discuss the game with. The story is dumbed down compared to the first two games but it was pure fun and cinematic, every mission was memorable to me.

Like I didn't even know what the stock exchange was back then, I just thought it was awesome traveling through city ruins fighting invaders.

Also the survival mode was super fun too.

I don't get why anyone goes to a Starbucks still. If I want aRtiSAn coffee I can still get it cheaper and probably far better quality.

My favorite indulgence is an iced coffee with bananas from Nordstrom (I'm still confused why they went into the coffee business but they are quite successful) and the large cup is still cheaper than what Starbucks offers. I haven't set foot in one for a couple of years because 7$ for an iced mocha was revolting.

Their iced mocha coffee was all I drank but even the glass bottles they sold in stores I had to stop buying. It's coffee, not gold!

Being good to your customers shouldn't be some wild concept.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Why did you have to remind me of this. 😢

STOP DOING ENGINEERING

STATIONS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN POWER

YEARS OF TOMFOOLERY yet NO REAL-STATION USE FOUND for CONTRAPTIONS and DOOHICKEYS

Wanted charged APCs anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "SOLARS"

"Yes, please give me a radioactive crystal. Put it in the space station" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the research and materials we give them (This is REAL ENGINEERING, done by REAL ENGINEERS): [3 images of electricity generating setups with question marks below them]

"Hello I would like [image of a singularity] please"

They have played us for absolute fools
