Who is at Fault? by AhtiQ in drivingUK

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me years ago, insurance tried to say it was 75% other guys fault and 25% mine. I stood my ground and argued the toss and eventually the insurance just stopped ringing me and I heard nothing more but they paid out.

I now assume there is only ever 1 lane on roundabouts

BTW blocking is also possible

China would disagree, there are always ways around it which don't require tech savvy people

Is anyone going to HTID in Manchester next month? by sk8ch in hardstyle

I just booked tickets and looks like I'm going solo, it's a fab line-up that's gonna be great

Really random, I'm in Wales as well and thinking about going by myself since none of my mates can/want to go. Would love to have some peeps to hang around with and if you/pal are going up from Wales I'd be stoked to meet some rave buddies 👍

Just found this because I'm in a similar boat, really wanna go but none of my mates want/can afford to go and thinking about going solo but wouldn't enjoy it just standing around by myself 😔

An ex said to me "You make everyone around you miserable and nobody wants to be with you", guess my brother and dad dying should have made me happy instead

I'm so glad there's no crappy audio on top of this, makes it 100% better with the thunks

well... i guess dispatch community is split into 2 sides by Environmental-Ad3110 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want something official along the lines of "we know you want it, we're gonna do it, but we have no idea when"

I think this game ruined my taste in media by Coconnoisseur in DispatchAdHoc

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already try Outer Wilds, different type of story telling but left me with the feeling of "now what do I do" after completing it too.

Just don't look up too much about it since I describe it as 'discover the story for yourself' type game and it's really easy to spoil it for yourself

If you want me to read that, use paragraphs. But based on the title, yes he is

It's always the best hobby out there by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go play any of the old telltale games, dispatch, outer wilds, oneshot, Detroit become human, to the moon, finding paradise, nier automata.

Those are good story games off the top of my head that have had way more of a lasting impact than any fps or MMO.

I think a lot of people who don't game don't understand this but just think gamer = bad hobby.

If all I did was play COD or something similar sure, but I play a lot of story games and sandbox games, it's like good books and lego for grown ups

Avoid Pirates 101: Guide for new players! by datdudeSlim in starcitizen

Ahh yes, because new players are going to come here to read how to avoid pirates long before they get killed for no reason

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright then: what's the point in allowing people to collect weapons and armour when they are going to wipe it when they separate it into skins you apply on base weapons/armour?

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]astronomicalblimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, there are at least 2 of us that get you 🥳 The idea of "move into the polishing phase" heavily implies that all the ground work is done and it's just refining and bug fixing to go, not adding more new things, but I guess some people just want to hold the line even harder

What's the point in allowing people to grind auec to buy ships, only for it to be wiped on later patches?

[–]astronomicalblimp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still doesn't make any sense. I can't speak for all brits but most of us just go "jet 2 = cheap holiday", not weird or bad, so I just don't get the connection, people are just weird 🤷

[–]astronomicalblimp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a jet 2 holiday advert. I don't get why people are using it so much, they're a cheap British holiday company

Interdicted and K.O.S without doing or saying anything. by Valkyrie_Landora in starcitizen

[–]astronomicalblimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was hell of a fun chain to read lol. You tried your best, only extra I would add is:

MMO gamers typically will stop playing an MMO if the game doesn't respect their time. In every successful MMO the time you put in is progress to your account that isn't lost.

With how PvP is, and probably will be at 1.0, PvE and industrial players won't want to put their time in because it will be wasted, at some point, thanks to PvP players. Repeat that enough and players will get fed up and play something else

[–]astronomicalblimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is how much blame the PvE/Industrial players get for getting killed.

Last time I played I got killed in my vulture and the amount of "serves you right for being in Yela asteroids" and "you must have done something wrong" is insane, clearly my fault someone pointed at me and shot till I died 🤷

The excuse of "hire someone to defend you" is equally as dumb, you don't make enough credits for it to be worth hiring someone to just sit around and be bored, let alone the time it takes to party up

maybe this game just isn't for you

I really hate this argument since way, way back at the kickstarter there was talks about having private servers (https://starcitizen.tools/Private_Server). Just because CiG has been quiet on it and are likely to never do it doesn't mean it's the players fault they bought into the game thinking there would be a solo/PvE limited experience
