@RinoTheBouncer The biggest problem is we know nothing about the game so people are going to look at this and use their imagination to assume the worst.
They could be essential shops. They could be a few out of several. We don't know.
@ABs_Reviews@SCentralized It's only hinted at, and one warrior isn't going to tip off an extra-galactic invasion. I think Palpatine/Thrawn knowning about the Vong is still speculated on. The Chiss were encountering them, but I don't think they knew the full scope of the threat.
@TheAstroPub I think they'll compliment each other. It's also clear they're letting the PU suffer so they can get SQ42 done. We'll get a good sci fi story then the PU will get the dev hours it actually needs.
@BTV_Cast I've found the Retaliator and Eclipse bomb racks at Centermass. Most are under 100k. The Eclipse S10 rack is 1.7 million in-game. I haven't found the Gladiator sets yet. Maybe at Cousin Crows?
@Grummz It's because the fight against censorship was so universal we were willing to overlook major character flaws.
But now? Flawed people are exposed and it's discussed. We don't need to unify with everyone on every topic or issue now.
@SandyofCthulhu I think the difference is, the prequels are flawed in a different way than the sequels. Episode 1 is objectively a bad film. When I was nine, I still wanted the toys.
The directing is bad but I think underneath it all, there's the heart of a good story there.
@AnthropicDualiT@RobertsSpaceInd I think if this was going to be an info drop, we'd still get Fleet week in game. IFW has always had something a little "extra." As it stands Defensecon is a lesser IAE.
@AnthropicDualiT@RobertsSpaceInd What gets me, is if SQ42 was coming later would you not use IFW to hype up the fleet? No Bengal flyby, no old Javelin tour even if it's static? The fact that Drake is providing an event for "everyone else."
@AnthropicDualiT@RobertsSpaceInd I think there's a not 0% chance they might just stealth drop it. Been speculating back and forth with a friend. Everything with IFW this year is just too... odd.
@realmaxgenest I live in PG and the neighborhood Peden Hill is in has been heavily East Indian well before immigration got out of control in Canada. This shouldn't be surprising.
@ChambersArt I met you at CitizenCon 2018. You were a cool dude. I hope that you got everything accomplished that you wanted and you take all the time you need.
lots of strange reactions to this game. letβs clear some things up:
childless men do not have paternal instincts the way that childless women have maternal instincts (we observe this even in the way little girls play vs. little boys).
men first experience paternal instincts once they have their own children - and typically, those paternal instincts are only ever felt for their own children, and no one elseβs.
men are not nurturers. men donβt gush over cute kids in public. men donβt have baby fever. if a man wants to possess a child for any reason other than it being a product of his own lineage, he is likely a predator.
and youβd be taking the feminist/radical gender abolitionist position to protest any of the above points.
this should explain why a βdad simulatorβ game marketed to mostly childless men gives people the creeps.
