@fbueckert @MBraedley @whoeverelsedoesKSP

@FEichinger Because the game wasn't complicated enough before!

@FEichinger Also me

@GnomeSlice I figured that was too complicated for you, so I didn't ping you directly.

After all, you are still complaining about almost everything about it.

@FEichinger :P Thanks. To be honest, I'm happy with KSP the way it is, I don't need anything new.

@FEichinger Oh no, I like the game a lot, I just kind of gave up on playing it because explosions.

I'm really looking forward to the Science stuff.

That might finally give me a reason to play again. Right now, I'm hardly motivated at all.

@FEichinger I can really appreciate the idea of it, but it's the kind of thing I'd never be able to use.

Like docking clamps.

Oh, docking is easy.

I wish Universe Sandbox was more like KSP - then it would be fun. As it stands, I just run the darn thing during free cycles in order to grind out the achievements.

@GnomeSlice get MechJeb

@MBraedley eh

@skovacs1 What really put me off was the announcement that there'd be a sequel we all have to pay for, rather than fixing the problems with it.

@MBraedley cringe

@FEichinger what's wrong with MechJeb?

MechJeb is great for the data readings, and perhaps for the really routine tasks, but it's horrible at a lot of things and it sure as hell isn't good for learning how to do that on your own.

@FEichinger I'm no good at learning to do things on my own.

MechJeb is also great for cheating the framerate limit, but I would never recommend it as a get-into-orbit-free card.

@FEichinger If I weren't an achievement whore or if I were willing to cheat the achievements, I probably wouldn't have issues with it. It's boring, but then I'd have no reason to play so it wouldn't bother me. Expecting any human to accumulate a year's worth of hours in playtime is just asinine. I haven't heard this sequel news and it does not excite.

@FEichinger Get into orbit? Isn't it just Fuel+Engine+Timed Decouple+Adjustment burns to meet set waypoints, maybe helped by a little SAS?

@skovacs1 I gave up on SMB's "Beat all 20 levels without dying in world X"

@skovacs1 If you build a reasonably stable rocket, yes, that's it.

@skovacs1 Basically that big update that was announced ... two years ago? is now a sequel we get to pay for. Because reasons.

@skovacs1 I guess it didn't sell well enough on PS3.

Which is crazy, because that was one of my very first games for the system.

@FEichinger Also, kickass!

I need that; I have so many modular parts.

Yeh, subassemblies and science is at the very core of what I'm looking for right now.

There's a couple of other things (such as proper mission control), but it's getting there.

@FEichinger Reasons is understandable - people gotta eat. I'm largely just wondering why they're bothering continuing with this game. I found it boring, but not ostensibly bad or broken. If they'd set more reasonable achievements, I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. If they are making it actually fun, okay, but if it's just a patch, I'd rather they not bother.

@FEichinger there is a subassembly mod

@MBraedley I know. It's installed on my KSPstable.

@fbueckert I think the decision on VC3 was because of poor sales of VC2 actually. VC2 was put on PSP because they said VC didn't sell well on PS3. VC2 was an awesome game too, but that one certainly did not sell that awesome as I recall. If the game is already made and there are even professional translation/localization teams willing to bring it over and offering their services at a discount, they could at least do a limited run or exclusive deals à la Operation Rainfall

Get an idea on sales through pre-orders or a poll or something and do an ROI analysis. They can make money on this.

@skovacs1 Sure I understand the reasons. Doesn't mean I have to like them. The sandbox is having some fundamental flaws, we were told there'd be a "stellar update", and what we get is that we're supposed to pay for it and the sandbox is abandoned.

Alternatively, I'd love to see all three in an HD collection. Re-release it bigger and better than ever on PS3 or PS4 or maybe even multi-plat. This could be a great way to refresh the series and bring in some publicity and push sales. Maybe they could even remove the lockout on the extra characters in VC2 from the anime/manga (this pissed me off).

@Lazers Why, but clearly the game is "Game".

@FEichinger No. No. Can't you see the tag? Clearly, the game is ps3.

"Demo" is also the name for the story mode.

@skovacs1 I'm just glad it isn't just tagged technical-difficulties again. That's a weird game, I tell ya.

@FEichinger You know, I'm now motivate to make a game named "Technical Difficulties" just to screw with things.

@FEichinger it's definitely obscure.

@FEichinger We will have games named for all meta tags.

I wonder is Tales of Xillia is on the PS store. Then I can buy another game to not play.

@FEichinger Also, it was purchased at game. They clearly confused the internet with a telegram.

@Sterno hello puppet master

@sterno I read something in the star list about you being old. Do you wear dentures or something? I never got the impression that you were that aged.

Hmm... there can't be too many PS3 games that come on cards...

@Sterno I believe it is. Here

@Fluttershy Oh, damn, I didn't even realise that.

@Sterno ???

Oh Breaking Bad...

Watch Breaking Bad

What I assume @Sterno actually looks like, given his age.

Some day...

Ooh. Burn. Oh no, you didn't.

I was 34 yesterday.

34 is pretty old

For my birthday my daughter decided to poop in the tub.

@Sterno is old enough to be the father of many of us in here

@kalina 6 years older than me.

@kalina It's not that bad.

@FEichinger it is true though

there is a group of us in here, who could remain our current age and still be feasibly fathered by @Sterno

@kalina Possible? Yes. Reasonable? Not so much.

@FEichinger Reasonable? There are many 14 year old parents in the world

@kalina is implying I'm a dirty man-whore. Flagged as offensive!

@kalina The world isn't the UK. :P

I wasn't implying anything, I came out and just said it straight

@Sterno She heard about no P in the ool and thought, "but poo's still okay, right?"

@Sterno Now, now, let's not make her delete herself again so soon.

Oh snap.

This just got real.

Lady goes crazy when they say they don't serve McNuggets. Bonus points for saying they don't want to see her assume her "ultimate form".

TIL animated gifs in chat bring my ipad to its knees

We should really implement a gifban.

I'll stop.

@Sterno at least it's not arabic

@Sterno What was that? My goodness! When she started screaming about digesting them and pounding on the glass desperately, all I could think about was zombie movies.

also, it's 3 years old and faked.

@kalina stop reminding me that I will turn 30 in under 90 days.

@LessPop_MoreFizz you will turn 30 in under 90 days

before the season finale of Breaking Bad, you will be officially past your prime

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeh, because that's gonna work.

well, further past
