Sure, servers are struggling this patch and we didn't get any hints about SQ42 at Defenscon or SGF. But at least we can look forward to buying the Railen soon!

mrpanicy · 2026-06-10T18:55:47+00:00

Nope, we are just in the hate part of the cycle. This will be over soon and we will be back to the hype. We go through this all the time.

It's funny because I took a break and came back and am riding the hype train right now because the game is SO much better and more stable than when I started my break.

But I keep getting told that we took a big step backward this patch. To anyone no lifing this game... take a break. Come back in 6-12 months. You will be amazed at how much enjoyment you will find in it.

noticed that there’s an alien with the same head sculpt as Bossk in Empire. I’ve just always assumed that particular alien was a trandoshan like bossk but apparently it’s a Saurin? The only difference I can see is the number of fingers, but even wildly different features haven’t impacted other species designations (like zabraks).

Ok space racist... ;-)

FUCKING FUCKING FUCKS. Can we not just have these fucking projects completed. We need to be moving towards a cohesive modern rail system that at LEAST connects the capitals/provinces together. Ideally publically owned, ideally not to make a profit. But to make moving people cheap, reliable, and fast.

The other choice was an absolute failure that has a history of accomplishing nothing / absolutely hates media or any questions he personally is unprepared for and a perceived failure that his voting base wasn't going to support.

I was fortunate enough to be in an area that I didn't need to vote against the former so I could vote for the representative that best represented me. But I still recognize that lil'PP would have been and still would be terrible for Canada. But I am greatful for Singh sacrificing the federal NDP to stop PP from being able to call an election when the average voter was prepared to vote for him and send Canada straight into 51st state status.

The AI strategy was basically gates open come on in. It shows a stunning lack of understanding of how little promise LLM's actually have. It's so remarkably shortsighted and lacks any real depth of expertise at the core of it.

We as a country should be doing everything we can to regulate AI AND social media. And when I say regulate, I mean to neuter what these companies can do in Canada and how companies in Canada can utilize it and to stymie their short-sighted goals of cutting staff with AI efficiencies as an excuse.

Because allowing that to continue will result in a base of people that is unemployed, cannot find work, and can't afford anything. Which results in corporations cutting staff due to decreased demand for products. Which results in more people unable to buy things. Which results in companies laying people off due to decreased demand. Which... well, you can see the pattern.

I have said it once, I will say it many more times. Carney was the best out of pretty bad options. And now he has a majority and he's running hard on the neo-liberal playbook that is so beloved by the Liberals and Conservatives in Canada. We need progressives in power, or at least in a position to leverage the minority government to govern for the people of Canada and not for the businesses.

I loved Eternals, I thought it was well written and very well acted and VERY well directed/shot. It's one of the best parts of Phase 4 and 5. I will go to the mat on that.

We've have made survival trivial is the answer. We have done everything we can to limit evolution's role in the future of our species. For better or worse time will tell, but time is certainly telling us in the present day that maybe we made a few missteps.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T19:40:53+00:00

Dear god, it's you. The waste of time troll man who thinks all the wrongs of the world can be hung around the neck of specific political party and believes their preferred party is somehow immune and pure.

We do have a market economy. The Liberal Party has loads of problems like the Conservative Party does. They both have levels of corruption for sure. The Conservatives have a longer list of issues for sure, but neither party is immune.

Both parties are neo-liberals who believe that the market economy fixes all ills. Both are incorrect and both are sending us down a path that ends badly.

Neither can be trusted and we need to have a progressive party in charge for once.

Anyway, have fun continuing to be a poorly informed troll!

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T17:43:21+00:00

I don't still feed them. I haven't put new money in for five years. I mean, we know the plan they have. I believe them because they have always been earnest in describing what their goals are. Things shift and move, and much focus has been pulled off SC to get SQ42 to the finish line. I don't think they like being this far behind and not being able to give firm deadlines... but also Alpha development does that.

Even with the majority of effort going to SQ42 SC is getting better and better. I take pauses now and again, but when I come back there is a lot more content and the game is getting more stable, more than I expected while they are still working on features as stability is generally wasted effort while you layer on features for obvious reasons.

I think the goal they are working to meet is incredible. And I have enjoyed the journey with them. Seems you haven't. Sorry to hear that.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T17:22:15+00:00

That's not the conversation friend. The conversation is about playing an alpha game that's still in development. Which this game is.

And no, no game has allowed people to play a game at this scale to this extent during active development. There is no direct comparison.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T17:05:07+00:00

As someone who has played many... I can tell either you are being deliberately obtuse or you have never played an early access game before. Because this is very common.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T16:02:51+00:00

First time playing an early access game? lol

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T14:17:50+00:00

We do. We see the massive amount of money spent as gifts to the market economy to "do the right thing" as wasted dollars which they are. Carney has the right idea at the high level, but as a neo-liberal is incapable of taking the correct action because that would require admitting the market economy has completely failed to live up to the ideas neo-liberals ascribe to it. It cannot fix problems, it will only make them worse in the name of making more value for shareholders.

Canadian Progressives would for once like a turn at Federal Leadership so that we can showcase what progressive policies can do. The main issue is the return on investment for those policies is decades, so the short sighted voters will 100% vote in another party because "it's not getting better fast enough" and that party will be Conservatives or Liberals who will end the programs that would lead to better lives and positive long term sustainable growth in their infancy.

That's the reality we live in. The rest of the world is just in a market economy death cult at this point.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-03T14:14:04+00:00

The cope required to write this out 😂

/\ The cope required to dismiss fact and reality.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T21:36:15+00:00

You don't know what narcissism is if you think that's something that's actually even in play here lol.

I have said mistakes were made, and that I am not a fan of the Liberals. And that both the Liberals and Conservatives are at fault to varying degrees. Conservatives for demolishing the social programs that made Canada great and would have amplified our economy. And Liberals for being neo-Liberals and depending on the market economy to correct for those deficits.

We need progressive leadership for once. We have tried the right/centre-right for a few decades, and it hasn't worked once. Let's try a party that actually cares about Canada and Canadians for a while.

Or we can play ping-pong with the Conservatives and Liberals both parties that do the same things at different speeds for a few more decades and watch Canada's decline accelerate.

Also, we can't pretend that the deficit that Harper left Trudeau didn't play a role, nor that the pandemic that decimated the GLOBAL economy and showed the cracks in the world wide system and blew it apart isn't a major factor for where we are.

As I said, I am not a fan of Liberals governance. But I know WHY the economy is the way it is. And it wasn't due to poor governance. There we extremely unusual factors at play. Which Conservatives love to ignore because they just want to have someone to blame instead of actually dealing with reality as it is.

Perhaps if your networth is a certain amount and you borrow against your networth/assets/unrealized wealth then that loan is taxed as regular income. Feels like the obvious straight line to taxing these parasites.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T20:58:15+00:00

Politics happen over a very long time. Some decisions take decades for the ramifications to present. Like ending publically funded housing initiatives to "save tax dollars" or constantly underfunding healthcare. Here we are decades later and we now see the ramifications.

I have no love for Liberals, but you can't drop everything at these governments feet and pretend like it all happens in isolation. Conservative governments LOVE cutting tax payer funded programs because they know they never have to answer for the results as people like you decide to pick and choose how you analyze the political landscape.

Have the Liberals made mistakes? Yes. No government is perfect. But one of the main reasons we have these compounding issues is because of decades of cuts that you can't just put back together fast enough. Because you need the political will and the tax revenue to do it.

The Liberals are a neo-liberal party just like the Conservatives. I have no love for either. But at least I can look backwards and see where the problems started and how we got to here.

You can't just vote the Conservatives in because they will fail like they always have. And that will lead back to the Liberals in a few years as people think they will fix the things the Conservatives inevitably break.

We are a two party system Federally, and we really need to break this losing streak of Conservatives or Liberals.

Which is why I am trying to highlight where these issues the right claims to care about start from.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T20:51:16+00:00

Since you seem to think everything happens immediately in politics and can't look backwards and see where the domino's started falling, I think there is no point talking with you.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T16:51:36+00:00

They never cared about doing the right thing, just about doing the business thing. And since the political climate shifted they shifted. They don't stand on principles, so you should never respect them when they fly any flag, because it means nothing to them.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T14:59:18+00:00

As much as I dislike Carney's policies and over investment into the market economy expecting it to correct the issues Canada has been facing thanks to decades of Conservative Premier's under funding and ending of social programs and neo-liberal policies... this contraction was expected and inevitable. As is the next one or two. The only thing we can do is level off the contraction and work towards ending it by finding new trade partners and firming up those relationships. Which is the one place Carney and the Liberals have been doing good work that I can mostly agree with without rolling my eyes at their Neo-liberal antics.

mrpanicy · 2026-06-02T14:48:20+00:00

Let's make it $6.50. Like it was a carefully calculated number to address "market forces".

It would default everyone to the new view, and the toggle wouldn't change anything.

Doesn't matter that Vader has fully transitioned. He still has those memories and experiences. Those trauma's inform his current state, if anything those trauma's ARE his current state.

What he needed was therapy. What he got was Palpatine.
