Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' in c/[email protected]

I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns...

And you can bet your ass that for how outdated it'll look when it releases in 2035 or so, it'll still chug at <30 FPS on your NVidia 35090.

350

Shocking exactly 4 people on the planet, Squadron 42 might not make it's just-recently-confirmed-absolutely-rock-solid 2026 release date. 😂

Although I will say that at this point even laughing about it becomes difficult. It's been so many years, every joke has been made and every laugh has been had.

It's been a long time since I came across matroska files in numbers, but this is pretty cool to have.

I mean from how they speak and post, their ability for language is reduced to the Twitter-level of communication.

Possible bug: When the post is an YouTube video, the video description is always in german for me in c/[email protected]

This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no "Never translate language XYZ"-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.

And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn't help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages....

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this context?

The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. in c/[email protected]

Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.

(That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!

Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!

Of course, but whether you're decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?
