- 1:09Wasn't here last week. I was often in prison for taking
- 1:13some turtles and you know, I managed to get out, but lo and
- 1:17behold, my usual Co host, Duke Layla second well, he didn't
- 1:22make it. He's still stuck in prison
- 1:23minding away getting some of that had a night or general
- 1:26light or I I don't I don't know. I don't even think they need it
- 1:29to be honest. They're just trying to get you
- 1:31to do busy work because they got nothing else for you to do down
- 1:33there. But if you are free and and
- 1:36roaming the stars and maybe you're just sitting back in and
- 1:39want to have some company, well, that's what we do here on Open
- 1:42Comms Radio. We are a Star Citizen Collins
- 1:44show and we meet every week to talk about what's going on in
- 1:48Star Citizen. But this week is a very special
- 1:50week, unlike many other weeks because we have a very, very
- 1:53special guest with us. This week.
- 1:55I am humbly welcomed by good friend and friend of the show.
- 2:03Way too geeky. Way too geeky.
- 2:05Thank you for joining me today. Great, I mean if it's special
- 2:09friend and quotes, that sounds about right in this community.
- 2:14Quotes. Parentheses.
- 2:15Look, I don't know what you're getting at.
- 2:16Great to be here. It's.
- 2:17Great to be here. It's great to be here.
- 2:21It's great to be alive. A. 1000% as would be an episode
- 2:27of our podcast would be named that because I say it all the
- 2:31time. Yeah, way too geeky is host of
- 2:34Citizen Cast. You guys can check them out.
- 2:36Citizen Cast, You're on the all the podcast platforms there,
- 2:40aren't you geeky? Yes, same as you guys.
- 2:42Across the board? Well, we're not on Apple.
- 2:45Oh, I I mean, it's fine. It's not that big.
- 2:49It's fine. It's not a big deal.
- 2:50It's not. It's just a small.
- 2:52Market, MBD, it's only like 30% of our audience.
- 2:56Yeah, no biggie. But you know, Speaking of your
- 3:00audience, we share an audience and that our audience also likes
- 3:04to play Star Citizen. Yep.
- 3:09Go figure. Huh, a shocker.
- 3:13We're we're doing a very niche podcast for a niche audience for
- 3:18people who are playing a quote UN quote fake game.
- 3:24Oh, fake game that those that's heated actually, and I you can't
- 3:31tell you something, you might be wrong.
- 3:34I mean, I'm not the one who said it.
- 3:37Listen, dude, we don't have to bring in all the influencers and
- 3:40and all the Internet into here today, but you I would challenge
- 3:45those folks because we've had some pretty solid updates, I
- 3:49would say coming up this week. I don't know if you poked your
- 3:53nose into them. Geeky.
- 3:55I poked my nose into everything. Well, we can do another show
- 4:00about that. Not that way.
- 4:04The more people I have on here, the more I'm like, I need to do
- 4:06like a a different show. I need to do a show about
- 4:10something else, something with holes and noses.
- 4:12But we're going to figure it out.
- 4:14Holes and noses, Holes and. Noses.
- 4:15There's the title. That see, that's the best part
- 4:19is when you find a title in the middle of the episode, but this
- 4:22is at the beginning. Oh yeah, Citizen cast, very
- 4:26famous for finding your titles in the middle of the episode
- 4:29very often. I will pop on in to you guys and
- 4:32I'll see the title and I'm like, where did that come from?
- 4:35And then like an hour into it, there it is.
- 4:39Sometimes it's out of my ass, but I try.
- 4:43I try to make it something that people resonate.
- 4:46I we don't go for bait click. So it's just whatever comes
- 4:51organically and sometimes I forget we have an organic title
- 4:56and I forget it. Well, Speaking of bait clicks
- 5:02here, if you've been on the Reddit today or any of your
- 5:06discords, you've probably seen a bunch of the leaks.
- 5:09I don't know if you've seen the leaks this week geeky about 4.8,
- 5:12but we might have a game on our hands.
- 5:15It looks good. Yeah.
- 5:18Did you happen to see the 0G traversal?
- 5:22Yep, Yep, saw that that was a hidden feature.
- 5:26Looks great. Little shadow drop.
- 5:29Mm hmm. I, I like when Star Citizen does
- 5:33that because it's sort of like, well, we're going to give you
- 5:36this. It's like, Oh yeah, this thing
- 5:38we've been talking about for about 3-4 years.
- 5:42Yep. Bloop hidden.
- 5:46Yeah, I was. I was saying I think they're
- 5:50going to shadow drop squadron. I I think we all think that it
- 5:55to some. No, I get a lot of crap for it.
- 5:58I think you're accurate. They.
- 5:59Tell me I'm full of it. Thank you.
- 6:01No, it's. Be fucking good today.
- 6:03It's dropping during Invictus. If it's not, remember it.
- 6:09None of. I don't know if anyone listens
- 6:10to the podcast, but Sea Guard's been predicting Squadron 42 for
- 6:153 1/2 years. Yo, he's not the only one.
- 6:20And I was sitting there and I'm like, but now I'm like, I'm very
- 6:26convinced if they're not announcing it, this Invictus,
- 6:29they point this in the wrong direction.
- 6:33Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
- 6:35Well, geeky someone in the chat is asking.
- 6:37Skeeter's asking. Is geeky Canadian?
- 6:39He sounds Canadian. No, I live in Brooklyn, NY.
- 6:44I grew up in Connecticut. I'm a little tipsy right now so
- 6:48maybe that's what's doing it. Yeah, he's drinking Canadian
- 6:51whiskey. No, I think it's American.
- 6:55Yeah, it's Burbanker. Well, then I don't.
- 6:58I don't know where it came from then, but I would.
- 7:01I would. I think you sound quite, quite
- 7:04old fashioned. I'll, I'll, I'll tell you this.
- 7:07Whiskey on the rocks. With scalar rocks.
- 7:11Hey man, look next. Shadow drop.
- 7:13Fully functioning bartender gameplay.
- 7:18That I think is longer. It goes, it goes. 0G traversal
- 7:23with the hands on the ship Squadron 42 and then bartender
- 7:29gameplay. What's crazy is there was a
- 7:31moment where bartender gameplay actually worked, but it was
- 7:36like, why are you doing this now?
- 7:38And you know, it was just a test for squadron, But there was a
- 7:43moment you could actually walk up to a bartender and they would
- 7:47give you a drink. And then you start to be like,
- 7:48oh, they had a drinks the bartender.
- 7:51But now the bartender is is worse than bartenders in my real
- 7:55life where I'll show up and they they don't acknowledge me at
- 7:59all. And I'm like, I'm a persistent
- 8:01bitch. You're over there.
- 8:04You're waiving your credit card. I'm like, yeah, excuse me, what
- 8:09do I have to do? I can't take my shirt off.
- 8:11I guess I probably should just take off my clothes and be like
- 8:15serve me. Yeah, that'll get their
- 8:18attention for. Sure, at least in game.
- 8:19Because I'm chiseled, Not in real life.
- 8:22Then the bartender will walk away.
- 8:25Well, we could get you chiseled. We could get your chiseled in
- 8:27real life. Just got to stop playing the
- 8:28game. It's not worth it, crew.
- 8:32Not worth it at all. Well, geeky, I don't know if you
- 8:36know how this show works, but it's not just the two of us.
- 8:39You know, it's a call in show, yeah.
- 8:41Yeah, it's a call in show and we got people every week and they
- 8:44come on in and they call on in and every week we talk about our
- 8:47question. Our question this week, forget
- 8:51about new ships, can I power slide?
- 8:57What about that geeky? What do you think?
- 9:00Depends on how the PTU works out.
- 9:04You can power slide in the PTU unless you're in heavy armor
- 9:08until you can't. I think this is going to change
- 9:12everything in terms in terms of the game and how I, I know I,
- 9:17you know, maybe I'm hyperbolic, but man, sliding, you're going
- 9:22to get so many new players, you're going to get so many
- 9:24people wanting to play this game.
- 9:28It's going to feel 1000 times less clunky than it is.
- 9:33I think the question is, is CIG trying to get more casual or
- 9:40like based on their, their trip to the last convention that's
- 9:46like, oh, are you trying to get first person shooter players
- 9:50into Star Citizen? Because that's what it feels
- 9:52like, a. 100 percent, 100%. Now you sound like me.
- 9:58Look, power sliding isn't, you know, new.
- 10:04It's not, you know, it's nothing like oh, and awe.
- 10:07But it's so essential to those, to that type of gameplay.
- 10:10Yeah. And to those people who want to
- 10:12play that. Yeah.
- 10:13And if you don't have it, you really have to have a certain
- 10:16kind of game. But everything from Halo and
- 10:19Call of Duty, I think even Fortnite, you can power slide
- 10:22you. Fortnite you need to power
- 10:26slide. OK, I didn't know I was talking
- 10:30to an expert. As an old bitch who plays
- 10:32Fortnite, you need to power slide or whatever the fuck they
- 10:37call it in Fortnite. Oh, sorry, I don't know your.
- 10:41Oh, everything you want, dude. Oh nice, not.
- 10:44Monetize. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:45Lay it down. Oh, so we're not, we're not read
- 10:48into citizen cast? I don't know if you know that
- 10:51whole lore. That's your old org that that
- 10:54dismantled. Yeah, he was very not into we
- 10:58had to be PC. Yep.
- 11:01Oh my. God, I was.
- 11:06I was previously in an org in not in yeah, I was previously in
- 11:10an org like that with the guy who didn't want to curse or
- 11:12anything. I was like, what am I doing
- 11:13here? Dude?
- 11:14I I got the fuck out of there as.
- 11:15Quickly, but you weren't part of that org, right?
- 11:17You joined, you're not even really part of you're in parlay
- 11:21house, but you joined later, right?
- 11:24Yeah, I just come in to fuck around with you guys.
- 11:26Yeah, I wasn't. No, I wasn't in your in read.
- 11:29I got in there. No, you would know like.
- 11:31The day after, yeah. It's perfect.
- 11:34I mean like the the best part of that group, and I mean it's the
- 11:39same way most orgs are now. It's like we're just figuring it
- 11:43out. Like there's nothing.
- 11:45There's nothing to restrict almost anything.
- 11:49Let's just have fun. Hey, let's just have fun.
- 11:55Speaking of fun, we have a caller down in the in the caller
- 11:59waiting room there in the audience.
- 12:01And just a reminder when the way we're doing this now is we're
- 12:02raising hands where you want to come on up, you raise your hand
- 12:06and I will pull you up in the order that you have raised your
- 12:09hands. And this 1st guest here is maybe
- 12:13our first guest ever. Actually, it is Wicket.
- 12:18Wicket, you can come on up here to the couch.
- 12:21Wicket, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call
- 12:24in. Show this week's question.
- 12:26Forget new ships, can I power slide?
- 12:30Citizens. Long time listener, occasional
- 12:34caller. Thank you for calling in Wicket.
- 12:38You're here with I'm George or Jabroni, and we're here with way
- 12:41too geeky of Citizen cast. Well, I'm very confused about
- 12:46this question. I didn't even know that you
- 12:48could power slide and Star Citizen.
- 12:50I thought this was a Warframe reference.
- 12:52It's a 4.8 reference. Well, every time I play Star
- 13:01Citizen, I just feel like it's, as far as the FPS stuff is
- 13:05concerned, it's one of the clunkiest games around.
- 13:09It's not very smooth. It's not.
- 13:12There are, as far as FPS is concerned, if you want to, you
- 13:16know, go down that road as as a game, there are well defined
- 13:22mechanics of FPS gameplay. There are, there's well defined
- 13:27nuance built into some of the some of the most played games in
- 13:32gaming are all FPS games. And the way Star Citizen tackles
- 13:37it is, is to, in my mind, kind of subpar.
- 13:41Now I'm not AFPS player. The my attraction to this game
- 13:45is the is the entire package. So if that FPS is lacking a
- 13:49little bit, I could care less. I mean, it's not the most
- 13:53important thing to me. I like the whole package to to
- 13:56work together. I'm a big MMO fan and I'm just
- 13:59waiting for the MMO of Star Citizen to come into reality,
- 14:04you know, and then you know again. 4.7471472 now 4.8 is
- 14:09about to hit us all good stuff, you know, as long as it's
- 14:15working. They seem to be adding a lot of
- 14:17stuff recently, giving us new tools, giving us new activities,
- 14:21new missions. Of course, new ships to buy
- 14:26wouldn't be Star Citizen without that.
- 14:28But the the problem is, is a lot of the stuff is clunky as hell.
- 14:32It's for clutch. Do you know it?
- 14:34It stops working and there's bugs constantly and you know, it
- 14:39seems like they're very, very slow to fix bugs because as soon
- 14:43as 4.8 hits the day after 4.8 hits, there's already going to
- 14:48be some kind of content leak about 4.9.
- 14:51Well, 4.8 it's going to be old news.
- 14:53That is true and actually kind of to your point about the bugs.
- 14:56The other part of this is forget new ships.
- 15:00I put in that in there because forget new ships, every new ship
- 15:05is another opportunity for more bugs to enter the game.
- 15:09And. We're at this point now where we
- 15:10have like, like we were talking about how the lamp new ships
- 15:13aren't even getting the lamp feature.
- 15:16And it's like, well, what, what, what are we doing here?
- 15:18Maybe we need to slow down. You know you're going to add
- 15:21more in all this, this debt you're going to have to to
- 15:25fulfill. And then when the game finally
- 15:27does go live and you have 400 ships and all of them are
- 15:31breaking or you have a new feature and it's got to go
- 15:33through all of them. Like the amount of time that
- 15:35will take is is insane. And meanwhile things like power
- 15:40sliding we're just getting and it's not real.
- 15:42That's not really a tech debt or any kind of debt thing like that
- 15:45gets put in the game. It's a feature.
- 15:47It can be applied everywhere. It's easy to do.
- 15:49Yeah, but you're just kind of point release away from another
- 15:52from from something else breaking.
- 15:53You know, it's just it, it's still, I mean, their excuses,
- 15:57oh, we're in development. Their excuses.
- 16:00Oh, that wasn't that feature that was implemented years and
- 16:03years ago was not designed to work with the current modern
- 16:08game. And you know, first we were
- 16:10given this, this story about, well, once, once server meshing
- 16:16comes in, all our problems will be solved.
- 16:19You remember that? And then or I don't know if they
- 16:21said it or that was just the assumption.
- 16:23It doesn't really. Matter.
- 16:24I'm pretty. Sure.
- 16:26Yeah, go for. It I'll be honest, they never
- 16:28said server meshing was the lightning rod.
- 16:31They even said server meshing is AI.
- 16:35Remember seeing plenty of videos where they said server meshing
- 16:39isn't the answer but it is a technology that will make things
- 16:43better and I would shoot me if I'm wrong.
- 16:49The game's been more stable since they've introduced Server
- 16:53Machine. You're right.
- 16:54Than before. It's not perfect.
- 16:56Nothing's perfect, the game is buggy as all hell.
- 17:00It's, it's just a it's it it usually my all my criticisms are
- 17:04probably they all stem from my intense frustration because I
- 17:09just want to see this stuff get done.
- 17:11I'm I'm a older, I'm a older feller, probably the oldest guy
- 17:16in our in our Guild for sure. You you know, I'm old 'cause I
- 17:19call it a Guild. But in any event, you.
- 17:24Have to call his cars automobiles.
- 17:26In in any event. Carriages.
- 17:28I want to say this. Is a motor car did you grow?
- 17:31Up with motion pictures. Yeah, Yes, we did.
- 17:37No, I I think based on the sound of your voice, I don't even
- 17:41think you're the, I mean, in our group, I'm one of the quote UN
- 17:46quote youngers and I'm old as fuck.
- 17:50So I'm like, oh shit, I get. It all they have.
- 17:55Their audience is going to die before they release.
- 17:57Anything, yeah. You know, obviously you have to
- 17:59have some kind of wealth to play this game at any kind of decent
- 18:03level. So, you know, everybody's pretty
- 18:05established and you know that you're, you're making money,
- 18:08you're spending money. And it seems like the audience
- 18:10of this game does not hesitate to spend money at all.
- 18:14I will say this though, their captive audience right now is
- 18:18actually very entry. So they, yeah, if you look at
- 18:23some of the stats, they have a lot of new players.
- 18:28Even just I, I see it on YouTube, there's people who have
- 18:31never played this game. It's great, it's good 'cause I
- 18:35love watching people who've never played the game at least
- 18:38experienced the visuals. So what they get right, they get
- 18:43really right, but they get wrong is just.
- 18:45Yeah, I think. The new, the new, the new blood
- 18:48coming to the game is gonna make or break.
- 18:51I think that. Everything in the.
- 18:52I think the challenge, I think the challenge is they're gonna
- 18:56announce Squadron 42 this year or the it's gonna come out.
- 19:00Well, it's been announced for this year.
- 19:02It's. Just it's going to come out, I
- 19:03mean well announced we I think we're going towards a release
- 19:08date is coming out in the next few weeks.
- 19:12The challenge is once they're done with Squadron 42 and they
- 19:17come to start a citizen, will it be a full-fledged experience?
- 19:20I don't think that's ready. Well, Speaking of coming out
- 19:24where you, I don't want to bring another person up on the couch
- 19:27here. We're going to pull Lord Anubis
- 19:29on up before before we do bring on Lord Anubis.
- 19:33We've been coming in here right throughout the 20 minute
- 19:36markets. Time for an ad read.
- 19:40And that's right, today our sponsor is Big Benny's.
- 19:43Big Benny's is back after our shortage during the regen
- 19:46crisis. Times are better and we're
- 19:48restocked with all of your favorite protein pack flavors.
- 19:52And to celebrate, we're partnering with Cruise Cruise
- 19:54Lux to bring you the all new Benny's Super Slam meal.
- 19:58That's our all new Osoian Chris Bowl with a 71 oz Lux for only
- 20:042000 a UEC. So get your Benny's, get your
- 20:08Lux and give no bucks. Big Benny's new sponsor.
- 20:14It's a lot less annoying than the Big Benny's sound.
- 20:22Well, this is Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen Collins show.
- 20:25I'm Jar Jar Jabroni. You're here on the couch with
- 20:28way too geeky of Citizen cast and you're joined by Wicket Lord
- 20:32Anubis. Forget new ships, can I power
- 20:36slide? No, how does someone power slide
- 20:41wearing giant armor? They don't according to leaks
- 20:46discord. Only.
- 20:48Only in light and medium armor. Yes, correct.
- 20:52Nah, even then. Like do people do that in real
- 20:56life? I couldn't power slide naked
- 21:00exactly. It doesn't make.
- 21:02It would hurt. Enough sense and I think that it
- 21:05would actually hurt a lot of the FPS in the game because when
- 21:09people are jumping around like, you know, ninjas and sliding and
- 21:13flying all all over the place it it it it just creates a
- 21:18disparity in in in a skill level because it becomes more about
- 21:23trick moves than it actually does about planning the combat
- 21:28and you. Know, yeah, but you're assuming
- 21:31someone power slides and survives.
- 21:37I well, I mean, it, it, it's also it, it just, it doesn't
- 21:43this, it, it, I don't know, it just does not fit the, the the
- 21:50the game model. I don't really think maybe they
- 21:54could do something for space combat where you have like your
- 21:57Eva give a boost in One Direction real quick, like a
- 22:00super, you know, but just doing it in real life, like like
- 22:03sliding along the ground, it just doesn't, it doesn't work.
- 22:06I mean, how do you even work out the physics of that with
- 22:09gravity? Well they to be fair, they
- 22:14haven't worked out any physics with gravity in this game so.
- 22:17That is the. Tanks and hoverbikes and
- 22:19everything you know. But I think the broader picture
- 22:23Lord Anubis is you're bringing up is Star Citizen has a hard
- 22:28time catering to the fact that there's so many audiences.
- 22:34We have a game that could be really good at first player
- 22:40shooter, but our game base doesn't really necessarily
- 22:46always want that. We even in my org, and it's not
- 22:51even org, there are people who are like I want to go in this
- 22:56facility and just kill people and it's like 1-2 people.
- 23:02They would love a power slide. They don't care.
- 23:05They just want to be Luke goblins, maybe win some
- 23:11blueprints or whatever, but they want to bring back all their
- 23:15armor. It's the game is trying to
- 23:19provide so much to so many people.
- 23:23I think that's why it's way, it's almost too ambitious.
- 23:28I I think they can achieve it to a degree.
- 23:31They're never gonna make everyone happy.
- 23:33I'm, I'm not a combat player, so I'm like, I just want to be able
- 23:37to scan shit way farther than I'm scanning it now.
- 23:41I mean, myself, I, I specifically avoid games that
- 23:44have, you know, these weird slighty moves and people running
- 23:49along walls and things like that.
- 23:50It just doesn't work. Be I'm the opposite of you.
- 23:54I love I. Can't do it.
- 23:57Well, I mean, I love FBS games. I don't like the running around
- 24:01like everybody's John Wick. It doesn't make any sense.
- 24:04The twitchy one, Yeah, it it, it can be see, but this isn't, this
- 24:09isn't going to make it twitchy. It's not like it's like a long
- 24:13ass power slide and you're not like running on walls or
- 24:15anything. It's like, it's basically like
- 24:19ducking into cover. You still have to be prepared if
- 24:24you're ducking into cover and you're still going to get shot.
- 24:27And in the future cover can break.
- 24:31Right now our cover is solid, supposedly.
- 24:34I mean, I'm, I'm always going off of what they say versus what
- 24:39until something changes. I'm like, all right, you could
- 24:42slide behind cover, but if someone can shoot that cover
- 24:46down, it doesn't matter. Yeah.
- 24:51Oh, you? Well, now you're talking about
- 24:53Maelstrom. Which is far out.
- 24:59Unfortunately. A very long time away.
- 25:03Very, very. Very likely, yeah.
- 25:06Which I would hope because it probably takes a lot of work to
- 25:09make it work. Well, they got to physicalize
- 25:13rain. Yep.
- 25:17And oh, and before that, they do need to work on the flight
- 25:20model. The the, the, the power slide, I
- 25:24think is, is not that big of a deal.
- 25:26I mean, we have that in real life.
- 25:28Have you ever watched a FIFA game and a guy scores a goal?
- 25:31Guy probably power slides for 20 feet.
- 25:34But he's doing it on the grass. In the mud, he's not.
- 25:36Doing it on like just think about Star Citizen a lot of.
- 25:39Times it's going. To be in lower gravity, there's
- 25:42going to be less friction. You know, there's all kinds of
- 25:46ways to explain all that stuff away.
- 25:48Oh. Dude, throw.
- 25:48Your weight around on 1/6 gravity or 114th gravity or
- 25:53whatever. You're like a Superman if you do
- 25:57when, if you're normal, if you're used to normal 1G and now
- 26:00you're, you know, fractions of of what you're used to, you're
- 26:05going to be like Superman 1 little push from you is going to
- 26:09be like an extreme. It doesn't override inertia
- 26:12though in in low grab environments, just basically.
- 26:15You're going to go traction. Yeah, I mean, but remember.
- 26:23All these suits, they all have all these suits that we wear,
- 26:26they have little jet nozzles all over them.
- 26:30And that's how you currently we run around in in DVA.
- 26:36Oh, you know what? That would actually be a cool
- 26:39thing here. Maybe a limitation on on sliding
- 26:42Where? You can do it.
- 26:43In some suits, but you need to use that whatever suit fuel is
- 26:47to to give. You the a fluid or whatever the
- 26:49fuck it's called. I just think I, I think I should
- 26:54say it. Cruise locks.
- 26:58Yeah, A. 1000% cruise locks. Only, well, I, I, I just think
- 27:03it's a it's a big tell tale of the overall climate of this game
- 27:07where we're stuck on 20 minutes of talking about power sliding.
- 27:13Well, it's also. It's like the game does.
- 27:17So there's so many people who complain, oh, this game plays
- 27:23way too much into FPS players and then FPS players are like,
- 27:28this isn't FPS enough for me? That's very like Oh well most of
- 27:34the community is like this feels too FPS.
- 27:39As one of those, I mean I like it all, don't get me wrong, but
- 27:44as someone who really enjoys that gameplay now that I see
- 27:47power sliding I just want Arena Commander to work.
- 27:51Yeah, put it in Arena Commander. I just want maps and arena
- 27:55commander. I just want a a a a regular base
- 27:59level of the PvP, you know, FPS matchmaking experience that is
- 28:06nothing new. And then should always integrate
- 28:09that first. Almost always, Yeah.
- 28:12You. You.
- 28:12Didn't have your? Your call of commander and then
- 28:16Star Citizen can naturally evolve into the greatest game of
- 28:19all time known as Star Wars Galaxies.
- 28:21Yeah, Yeah. Do you guys?
- 28:26Mark your. Newbie, shut the fuck up.
- 28:27OK. Sorry you're doing it again,
- 28:29Anubis. Hang on, I I was at a bar?
- 28:34Shocker, because I'm a little tipsy.
- 28:36I was at a bar before. Here I was explaining how Star
- 28:40Wars Galaxies was the best MMO and I I feel like yes, Star
- 28:46Citizen is a spiritual successor.
- 28:49Not by their choosing, but because there's so many
- 28:53overlaps. And that's why I fell in love
- 28:55with the game in 2016. Who are you telling this to?
- 28:58You were telling this to Teresa at the bar?
- 29:00A stranger, not a stranger, but he was like, oh, I might call
- 29:04in. I'm like don't call in.
- 29:08Call in. You could call in, call on in.
- 29:10We don't care. Call in the degenerates we get
- 29:13in here, dude. That's what this is all about.
- 29:16This is a Bukowski, I mean podcast.
- 29:20It better be degenerates because that's who else would be sane
- 29:24enough to back something this big and be like, yeah, it's
- 29:30great, it's great, it's great. I'm a white knight.
- 29:35I have my moments. I mean, I got by for five years
- 29:41of unemployment by selling props, high end props for high
- 29:45dollar. So people pay, you know?
- 29:47My ass started my podcast at 2020 and I was like, I am very
- 29:54lonely. I guess I should start a podcast
- 29:57now. And I'm like, it was Star
- 29:59Citizen based. And I was like, oh, we actually
- 30:01have a lot of listeners. It's strange.
- 30:06It's it's a very weird scenario when it comes to and then you
- 30:11feel like a crazy person when you explain Star Citizen to
- 30:14anyone else. Yeah, I don't talk about it
- 30:18outside of this, to be honest. They look at you like you're
- 30:21smoking. Now all that said, it's, it's
- 30:27about, it's about time we move on to our next caller.
- 30:31But I, I do want to say that I got a message from CIG recently.
- 30:36Now I reached out to them to this, I filed a support ticket
- 30:40and I said, hey, I'm actually coming up pretty close to
- 30:44concierge. You know, I've, I've like bought
- 30:46people ships and stuff and I'm, I see my thing.
- 30:48I'm like, oh man, I'm almost at that.
- 30:49That mark only close. Only close but like I could do
- 30:54it and I'm thinking what would it be worth it for me to do it?
- 30:56I have the Squadron 42 Star Citizen package with the Aurora
- 31:01from, you know, 2019 and from ages ago, whatever.
- 31:06They don't sell that anymore, that package, but.
- 31:09And that that squadron is going to disappear if it's buyback, we
- 31:13all know. Right.
- 31:15So all the buybacks are gone. So I, I literally I have
- 31:17another, I had past tense another buy back.
- 31:21I had two of them, but I just have this one and it's not
- 31:24giftable, right? Because I bought it back
- 31:27already. Now I was like, well, I knew
- 31:31that back in the day when people had concierge, if they had that
- 31:34package they got once they hit concierge, they got a copy of
- 31:38Star Citizen Ant Squadron 42. And so I reached out and I was
- 31:42like, hey, I, I read the facts. I read everything on the
- 31:46website. Actually, it said the website
- 31:48said, yeah, any questions about this, go to this Spectrum post
- 31:52here. And I click the link and you get
- 31:53a four O 4 error. So, OK, so I put in a support
- 31:56ticket and I tell them my predicament and I go, 'cause if
- 32:00I do hit concierge, you know, coming up the next couple months
- 32:04or so, I might melt this package if I already have Squadron 42
- 32:11and Star Citizen. They wrote me back, said hey,
- 32:16yadda yadda yadda. That was for people who already
- 32:18had concierge. Getting concierge now will not
- 32:21grant you Squadron 42 even though you have the package.
- 32:26And then in big bold letters he wrote.
- 32:30I I strongly recommend you do not melt your Squadron 42
- 32:35package. It sounds like it was Tyler
- 32:38writing it even. Oh, I don't even know who wrote
- 32:43it. I'll, I'll check I'll check out
- 32:46when we bring up the next caller.
- 32:48But it that led me that gave me a feeling like OK, so obviously
- 32:52squadron's probably going to release soon and I think it's
- 32:55going to be expensive. I. 60 bucks.
- 32:58Yeah, No, No 7. No, yeah, like $70.
- 33:03I mean, games it's going to be. Expensive for sure.
- 33:06If we's charging 80 bucks for a Mario Kart they could charge the
- 33:10same. 909090 for Mario Kart. Yeah, I think it's 8999.
- 33:18No, it's 80. Is that what it is?
- 33:20OK, yeah, I mean I. Guess I guess they got to raise
- 33:25their prices because the disparity between a simple meal
- 33:31at a fast food restaurant and a video game we're getting way too
- 33:33fucking close. Yeah, that is very true.
- 33:37No joke. You can.
- 33:40I, I try to explain to people you can.
- 33:43The movies used to be a cheap date.
- 33:46Yeah. And now it's like I'd rather
- 33:48just go to a fancy restaurant. Yeah, 100%.
- 33:52I think about that all the time when I'm buying stuff.
- 33:55I compare. I'm like, well, I can't even get
- 33:56like lunch for this anyway. Look, the we don't have to talk
- 34:01about the economy. Everything's great.
- 34:02It's going to be great. Everything's great.
- 34:05It's all great. Smiles.
- 34:08Yeah, look, look, the full the the fire on my house is, is it,
- 34:12it's decorative. Great warm.
- 34:15Speaking of Speaking of someone who is warm and cute, Cosmic
- 34:19Hobo, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call in
- 34:22show you're live on the couch with Jar Jar Jabroni.
- 34:25Way too geeky of Citizen Cast Wicket and Lord Anubis whom you
- 34:30both know. Cosmic Hobo, Forget the new
- 34:34ships. Can I power slide?
- 34:38Who the fuck let the Skungen back in?
- 34:41You guys know he's wanted, right?
- 34:44I got broke out. Look, Duke is still in, in, in,
- 34:49in custody. Yeah, he's serving his time.
- 34:52He is serving his time. Yeah, convicted by the way of of
- 34:57of all 14 counts of turtle smuggling and resisting arrest
- 35:03and felony larceny. Can I, in my defense, in my
- 35:08defense, I've become something of a celebrity and I've
- 35:12committed obviously far more heinous crimes.
- 35:15So they, they don't even care anymore.
- 35:18They actually paid me. They gave they I made, I made a,
- 35:22a few $100,000 on this whole arrest thing, so.
- 35:27Yeah, well, Netflix will pay anybody nowadays, so, you know,
- 35:31not surprising. Power slide, that's it's cool.
- 35:35You've been asking for that for years, I think.
- 35:37I have, Yep. It's it I I lament that I won't
- 35:44be able to do it in my heavy armor, but that makes sense.
- 35:47But when I'm piloting a ship in my flight suit, because I need
- 35:52to now because of the 0G for the the G forces, I can just power
- 35:57slide out of it when it catches fire because I'm not a great
- 36:00pilot. There you go, not too shabby.
- 36:07Also I'm a big fan of the you can't slide in heavy armor
- 36:10thing. It makes sense it it's they need
- 36:14to have more restrictions on heavy armor on a slip.
- 36:18Yeah. It's so interesting because
- 36:21they're starting to do the flight suit stuff and I feel
- 36:26like they could have done more in this upcoming patch where
- 36:31it's like OK, heavy armor can't but apparently this is in the
- 36:37next patch. Heavy armor can't slide.
- 36:40We saw 0G push and pull for a hot minute.
- 36:49But what we need is soot lockers to work 1000.
- 36:54Percent. That is when you're starting to
- 36:57add the restrictions that are needed for like heavy armor and
- 37:01whatnot with flying, with power, with movement stuff like power
- 37:05sliding. When we get Eva restrictions on
- 37:08certain armors we will need those soot lockers to work.
- 37:12Like at this point, it, it almost needs to be in a .1 patch
- 37:16in my opinion, that we need to get the soot lockers working
- 37:19because once we can't Eva and everything, once we can't like
- 37:23power slide and everything, once we can't pilot everything with
- 37:27an asterisk there because you can pilot.
- 37:31They backed off originally because you, you used to not be
- 37:33able to sit. The idea is you would not be
- 37:35able to sit in the pilot's seat in heavy armor in a backpack.
- 37:40I, I don't think that's, that's, that's going to happen, but
- 37:45it'll be harder to fly. And they're already adding that
- 37:48now with the, the, the, the G force.
- 37:53So you can take more G forces and less G forces depend or
- 37:57fewer. Can you measure AG force?
- 38:00I guess you can measure AG force.
- 38:01It would be fewer. You can take few, sorry, fewer G
- 38:06forces while wearing heavy armor compared to lighter armor in a
- 38:11flight suit. But that that still comes back
- 38:13to we need soot lockers to work for all this.
- 38:17Yeah, we can change. It's funny because they said
- 38:21that insurance in 4.8 is individual weapon racks, but not
- 38:28the larger weapon racks. So they're getting there.
- 38:34I think. Then the next evolution is big
- 38:37weapon racks, suit lockers. They've been showing that
- 38:41working for years and I'm I'm someone who's not skeptical.
- 38:47So I'm like, OK, there's probably some prohibition
- 38:52technology wise. Regardless, I want to place my
- 38:58suits in a locker. I want my full ass Carrick
- 39:04weapons suits. I want to ensure that and just
- 39:08have. Burritos.
- 39:09Cruise locks. Everything just I'll throw the
- 39:12money at that. Like give me something to throw
- 39:15money at. I know we're going to get wiped
- 39:16eventually, but like. We'll have.
- 39:20A hole for my money spent. We all know I I mean I'd be
- 39:25fine. Wipe all my blueprints, wipe
- 39:28everything for 1.0 I don't care but just give me everything I
- 39:34could save. Right.
- 39:38And yeah, put it all on my ship. I mean, look, that that's,
- 39:42that's the dream. That's that's where we're going.
- 39:44But some of us have other limitations.
- 39:45Yeah, not everybody is like you guys on everybody's playing
- 39:49mouse and keyboard. Skeeter and Chat asks Is power
- 39:53sliding compatible with a controller?
- 39:55Great question and shouldn't be. No.
- 39:58More users don't deserve that. Can you imagine having a 9800 X
- 40:033DA9070XT you know and he spent all his money on this.
- 40:08Then you get AVR headset and you grab a controller.
- 40:12Who in the right fucking mind would do that?
- 40:15Look, it's just. Betrayal to your heritage.
- 40:18Look look, Full disclosure, I don't play with AVR headset.
- 40:21The box on the face is. It's a little too much for me,
- 40:24but I I. Hey, speak for yourself buddy.
- 40:27But you know I'm listening. My girlfriend's very happy.
- 40:30I will say I got the whole game to work with the controller.
- 40:38The only thing that doesn't work are the menus in the UI system.
- 40:43Everything else, like you can fly your ship with a controller.
- 40:45It's not obviously it's not as good.
- 40:46I fly my, I have sticks. I generally fly my ship with my
- 40:50sticks. But if I'm just like going in
- 40:52and out of the hangar, I'll do it on my controller.
- 40:54I'll lean back. I want to put my feet up.
- 40:56I want to relax. I'm mining.
- 40:58I'm not doing anything crazy, you know what I mean?
- 41:01I just want to relax. The answer to Skeeter's question
- 41:05is yes, power sliding is compatible with a controller.
- 41:09It really should be it. Should be it.
- 41:12It ought to be. The only time you should ever
- 41:15use a controller in a game is if you're playing something like
- 41:18GTA on your computer. Yeah, but the problem with that
- 41:23is Star Citizen's own devs demo on just controllers.
- 41:29Well, you know, I mean, that's why the game's taken 15 years.
- 41:33So wait, hold on, hold on, wait a second.
- 41:35Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean they demo on
- 41:37controllers? Have you not seen Citizen Khan
- 41:40where they're like, what's his name, We?
- 41:43Got the game running and we got George over there with the
- 41:48controller. No.
- 41:49Hi, George and. We got to find them right away.
- 41:54There have been plenty of you've seen.
- 41:56I've seen it in person and not in person where it'd be like, I
- 42:03forgot his name, it's Gary Greg, something he'd be like Greg
- 42:09Greg. Greg is his wedding.
- 42:13What? Happened.
- 42:14They're using controllers. Well it's it's obnoxious that
- 42:18the inventories literally don't work.
- 42:20I would love to demo. And Speaking of, if you are
- 42:23playing on a controller and you want some help.
- 42:25Jabroni citizen. You can Google it.
- 42:28Jabroni citizen find it on Nexus mods.
- 42:30I have my controller mapping. I update it every once in a
- 42:33while with some of the new updates and and because there
- 42:36are certain buttons that you can't overlap with.
- 42:39So if you map 2 things to the same button, it It's the same
- 42:42with VKB too. If if you map two things on the
- 42:45same button, they sometimes won't work.
- 42:47One of those things is the quantum travel.
- 42:49If you're having trouble with your quantum travel, see what
- 42:51else is mapped to that button. Because sometimes it just it
- 42:55just messes with things. But you.
- 42:56Can't have any citizen. I'm not saying they're effective
- 43:00at mapping on controllers, I'm just saying when they demo they
- 43:04have Xbox controllers and you know, they're trying to to chase
- 43:10to cyst like PlayStation, Xbox. Yeah, like consoles.
- 43:18Hello. Jar Jar.
- 43:21Hello, this is this is Andrews Flores.
- 43:24Oh my goodness, I was going to move on to our next caller.
- 43:28But you know what? Lo and behold, when whenever we
- 43:30have someone from CIG calling in, we certainly here on Open
- 43:33Comms Radio, take a minute to listen to the to the devs, it
- 43:37is, what's his name, Anders Flores.
- 43:40My my my name is Anders. Flores, Jens.
- 43:44Jens, It's Jens Flores. Yeah.
- 43:45Andy, why are you playing? But.
- 43:46They call him Anders. Yeah, I'm, I'm.
- 43:48I'm going by Anders now. It's Anders Jens.
- 43:52Jens was his middle name. Yeah, Jens was my middle name,
- 43:55yes. He changed it for legal reasons
- 43:57because of the. EU yes.
- 44:00So I have I have a question and, and, and hopefully you will help
- 44:04us. Yes, Jens.
- 44:07Can can you stop advocating for the controllers?
- 44:12We really don't want to have to work with this.
- 44:16Yeah, I mean, you, you said yourself that CRG wanted people
- 44:20to play Star Citizen in in whatever peripherals and however
- 44:24they'd like, and not that way even as it's been mentioned,
- 44:27you've demoed with controllers. It's been in the.
- 44:30EU the the the demo is we did not go to staples to get a
- 44:38PowerPoint presentation controller so we use the
- 44:43controller from one of our devs kids.
- 44:48Oh, so you, you guys, you were just using it for the
- 44:51PowerPoints, is what you're saying?
- 44:52Yes, We, we, we. Hate it.
- 44:54Please, please stop. Well, you know what, Yens?
- 44:57I'm I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm going to continue to
- 44:59advocate for controller support for this billion dollar video
- 45:03game that you guys got coming out and I'll I'll tell you, I'll
- 45:05tell you something else, Yens, you socialist European fuck.
- 45:10OK, Why don't you if you goes to the ground and get get?
- 45:15You. Oh, Oh no.
- 45:18Look, I'm not going to say anything.
- 45:20Back into Europe. Yeah, I can.
- 45:22I can only disparage fellow whites.
- 45:24I can't. Not going to go there.
- 45:28I'll say this though, Yens. Why?
- 45:33Don't you? Why don't you take your new
- 45:35fresh European passport, OK, and take a good harder look at it
- 45:39and consider where where you want to be living the next few
- 45:42years? Because if this game doesn't
- 45:44appeal to console players and controller players, and if
- 45:47you're thinking about releasing Squatch and 42 as APC exclusive,
- 45:53that may be the end of Cloud Imperium games.
- 45:57Bring it. It's still the Gulf of Mexico,
- 45:59by the way. Yep.
- 46:01Wow. Jens Flores, everybody.
- 46:03Jens Flores. Well, we don't want to keep our
- 46:06our next caller. Waiting.
- 46:08Also, Argentina's pretty waiting, yeah?
- 46:12It's like it's I'm also. Really worried how we got back
- 46:15into the EU. Like what's his?
- 46:16I've got questions about his OPA but.
- 46:21Look, look, he was a scientist, OK?
- 46:23He worked with rockets or something.
- 46:25I don't know. Yeah, Tony.
- 46:26Stark. Yeah, Tony Stark.
- 46:29If he's truly Argentinian, he's got higher calves.
- 46:33Let me tell you, if there's one thing I can honestly say about
- 46:37Argentinians is that they have amazing calves and I'm taking
- 46:40care of those at the border. Well, everybody knows the
- 46:43European and Argentinian connection and what that
- 46:46entails. Well, he's living in Frankfurt.
- 46:49So hello. Hello hello, I, I I don't know
- 46:55what you are trying to say but. Yeah, we don't know what you're
- 46:59trying to say either, buddy. But I I can I can speak freely
- 47:04in six months. Wow, Jens Flores, everybody
- 47:10speaks 3 languages. Still doesn't know what the fuck
- 47:12we're saying. Anyway, I'm going to bring up
- 47:14our next guest here. Our next guest is is a leader.
- 47:18It is someone with integrity and someone who understands
- 47:23perfectly well. My Guild master.
- 47:26Understands trains and train accessories.
- 47:30It is Murphy Jack. Murphy Jack, welcome to open
- 47:32Comms Radio, your Star Citizen Collins show.
- 47:34Thank you for calling in. You are live with Jar Jar
- 47:36Jabroni, our special guest today.
- 47:37Way too geeky of Citizen cast. Wicca is here.
- 47:41Lord Anubis and Cosmic Hobo as well.
- 47:43Murphy Jack, forget about new ships.
- 47:46Can I power slide? Well, I almost put my hand down
- 47:49because I don't know how to follow this conversation.
- 47:52I. Was just.
- 47:54Like, yeah, you know what in the edit, maybe if we like flip,
- 47:58like put me before. I hope to zero and whoever it
- 48:02was. I'll tell you what, Murphy,
- 48:05Jack, if you say something interesting, I'll put you before
- 48:07the show even begins. All right.
- 48:10Well, power sliding. All right, let's get into it.
- 48:15I hope Rob comes because I want to see what he thinks about it.
- 48:18But if just think, think about how squirrely Rob and I are
- 48:24right now, right running around in ruin.
- 48:27Take that for example. And then we add power sliding
- 48:31into it. They need to.
- 48:33I think they need to maybe focus on a little of the latency
- 48:39issues. So if.
- 48:42Before we throw this in. If I could interject, I don't
- 48:46know anything about you and Rob. Oh, you will as soon as he gets.
- 48:51Together, they're an item. I think is he Brockie Rob over
- 48:54there? Yeah, he's down there.
- 48:56Hope he'll be. Up in a minute, of course, just
- 48:58a quick. A quick breakdown.
- 48:59We rare we wear light legs, light arms, heavy core, heavy
- 49:03helmet right now while we zip around ruin contested zone like
- 49:09everybody. You know all the other sweats
- 49:12and what I was getting at is you see how zippy we are and now
- 49:16you're going to add power sliding into that.
- 49:18There's going to be a lot more hackyzating going on.
- 49:20There's going to be a lot more frustration going on, but on the
- 49:26flip side of that, it's going to be fun.
- 49:28It's going to be cool. It's.
- 49:32You're going to be squishier because you can't use heavier
- 49:34armor. I just well.
- 49:37There goes our uniform. Supposedly so.
- 49:41We'll wait and see. No, I mean nice to speak to you.
- 49:46Because The thing is with the stats, if they leave the stats
- 49:51with crafted armor, you can get the light armor pretty close to
- 49:57heavy armor stats, right? With that 20% or whatever it is.
- 50:02I mean, heavy armor is going to be, yeah, heavy armor base that
- 50:05of course the heavy armor crafted is going to be better.
- 50:09And I really feel like I've noticed a difference and the PvP
- 50:12we did at Ruin the other day wearing that crafted armor.
- 50:16Like I just, I don't know if it was a placebo effect yet or not,
- 50:20but it just seemed like I was soaking up a little bit more
- 50:23than normal. So does it feel good to craft
- 50:27armor? I'm, I'm in a position where I'm
- 50:30like, I think it sounds great. Yeah.
- 50:37For the org, it's great. I think it's, it's, it's really
- 50:40come into its own, especially getting the ASD edition, arms
- 50:43and legs. So we kind of stand out.
- 50:46And we, we found, I don't know if it's so much as enjoying, as
- 50:50crafting it, as enjoying seeing people wear it 'cause we always
- 50:55argued back and forth on having a uniform about, you know, we
- 50:58want people to be individual. But there's also something to
- 51:03say for wearing a uniform now. It's saved us a few times
- 51:07because we'll lose party tags or whatever.
- 51:09Like, oh shit, there's a friend. You can just immediately
- 51:11identify it. So that's the part that's been
- 51:13cool. I don't know, that's so much a
- 51:15part of the actual crafting. It's cool.
- 51:20It's not a negative. There's.
- 51:22Nothing negative about it, but it's just it's cool.
- 51:27So you're saying, you're saying this crafting has made-up for
- 51:31one of Sig's constant failures, which is keeping the, you know,
- 51:38the bare? Minimum of social stuff a couple
- 51:40of times. Well, we need social tools.
- 51:44I'm not going to. No, there's no, there's no
- 51:48replacement for social tools. Just having this, this initial
- 51:51tier of crafting and searching for minerals, you know, most of
- 51:56most of the time you're just doing scanning for minerals.
- 51:58You're not actually 95% scanning, 1% crafting maybe.
- 52:03Yeah, it's. Giving us some reason.
- 52:05To get together and do stuff. The power sliding thing though,
- 52:08like I just wanted to like get this out.
- 52:10I mean be honest everybody here, be honest with yourself.
- 52:14You go and ruin it, ruin CZ. And in the current game play
- 52:19style, the way everything works, do you feel like power sliding
- 52:23is going to and be enjoyable on both sides, or do you think it's
- 52:31going to be very frustrating? It will never be a value to
- 52:35tract for me. Yeah, I'm a geeky on this one.
- 52:43I just, I just don't see it as something that's going to
- 52:49benefit anything other than the player that is doing it.
- 52:54The experience for the general user.
- 52:56You're going to be encountering someone doing this right?
- 52:59If you're not if, if you're not going to be partaking in it
- 53:03yourself, They're, they're not flipping around like a zombie,
- 53:07though, you know? They're the, the, the, the, the,
- 53:09like a monkey, just just. For me for me it's more of a PVE
- 53:14thing than a PvP thing. Yeah, but there's the.
- 53:17It always boils on the. PvP, I think you're missing the
- 53:20point. A lot of the about this, I think
- 53:22everybody's kind of missing the point.
- 53:25Again, this is an MMO. We don't have XP, we don't level
- 53:29up. All we can do is master
- 53:32activities. You master how to pilot your
- 53:34ship. You master the art of finding
- 53:36the mineral, You master the art of cracking the mineral
- 53:39efficiently. Now you know PVPVPPVEFPS combat.
- 53:46This is just another skill set that if you're going to be
- 53:48proficient in in that arena, you're going to have to master
- 53:53sliding or power sliding or ducking.
- 53:56And, you know, this is just just another level of stuff that you
- 54:00have to learn to become effective in the role that
- 54:03you're trying to fulfill. Meanwhile, it is this is a
- 54:07overarching conversation about the fact that we're introducing
- 54:12squatch and 42 moves, even 0G walking or whatever the fuck
- 54:19it's called. Reversal, yeah.
- 54:22Like that's what's happening, It's happening, we can accept
- 54:26it, we're happy about it. I would be happy about it
- 54:29because any extra traversal that I don't have to waste something
- 54:34about is going to happen. It's sort of the same thing.
- 54:39It's like this is going to be introduced.
- 54:41So how's it affect you? Most of us introduces another
- 54:49way to interact, I think more so with MPCS than each other.
- 55:01Speaking of being with each other, we do have another caller
- 55:04down in the waiting room. I'm going to pull him back up
- 55:07before I do, though. Murphy, Jack, any anything else
- 55:09you want to say? I want to make sure you have
- 55:11enough time to say everything you want to say.
- 55:13I mean, I, I'm, I will say I'm strictly looking at this from
- 55:18the PvP side of things. So it is a little slanted, like
- 55:21I think it's going to be fun with Pve and everything, but I
- 55:23PvP like I think there's going to be some issues just like any
- 55:28new feature that gets introduced.
- 55:29And I just I feel like we need to be prepared for that because
- 55:33it's going to be interesting. I just think with the D sync,
- 55:36the lag that we already experienced where people are
- 55:38twirling and doing three 60s when we're fighting them like
- 55:41this is just going to be more. You know, to to kind of counter
- 55:45that and you're kind of harping on what Anubis was saying just
- 55:49to counter that real quick. No, no.
- 55:51Oh, look, you have to have a way to dive or a duck behind cover
- 55:58or get out of the get out of the way very quickly.
- 56:02Yeah. Well, here here's I'm not saying
- 56:05that we shouldn't, should not have the power sliding.
- 56:07I'm saying in the current environment it's going to be
- 56:10rough. Yeah.
- 56:13Yeah, everything's rough in the current environment.
- 56:18Yeah, so this is just going to throw another thing in there.
- 56:22I I'm, I'm ready for it. It's going to be wild.
- 56:26Oh, I'm so excited. Well, Speaking of someone who's
- 56:28wild, someone who knows what they're talking about here with
- 56:31this FPS gameplay stuff, this is a guy who who will often be
- 56:35like, I'm just here to have fun with everybody else.
- 56:37Bullshit. He's here to fuck you up.
- 56:40He's going for the meta. He's figuring out exactly what
- 56:43point OOO 1% better he can have than you because his mission is
- 56:48to embarrass you in front of your wife, in front of your
- 56:51girlfriend, in front of your lover.
- 56:54It's broccoli Rob. Broccoli Rob, thank you for
- 56:56coming to open Comms radio. Broccoli Rob Quick question,
- 56:58forget the new ships, can I power slide?
- 57:01How's it going? Everybody power sliding?
- 57:05It's pretty exciting, right? Yeah.
- 57:10Everyone needs to stop clutching the pearls.
- 57:14Think everyone needs to just look at it for what it is, which
- 57:18is I mean we we saw like what like 210 second videos?
- 57:23Yeah. I think so, I went back and
- 57:25watched them while I was listening.
- 57:29It looks like you can temporarily move as fast as walk
- 57:33walking speed while effectively crouched and you can't ADS, so
- 57:41it feels like there's a bit of a balance there, to me at least.
- 57:45Really. I thought you could.
- 57:46You can, but you can fire your gun when you slide.
- 57:49You can fire your gun but you can't ADS and you might be
- 57:53getting the same recoil penalty for moving do.
- 58:00You know what that sounds like to me?
- 58:01Broccoli Robb. Not to interrupt you, but it
- 58:03sounds perfectly balanced. I think it's.
- 58:06Everything sure to be. I think it might be, I think it
- 58:10might be balanced in the way that it forces you to Crouch and
- 58:13then you have to stand back up. I think there's going to be
- 58:16people that want to abuse it. I think they're going to pay for
- 58:19that. And I think there's going to be
- 58:21places for it to work. And it's not going to be, I
- 58:26mean, yes, of now, like as of now, servers are in alpha.
- 58:30It's rubber bandy, it's laggy, but I don't think they should be
- 58:36designing the game around the expectation that it's not going
- 58:39to work properly. So I think green, it'll suck for
- 58:43a little bit, but we're going to have it.
- 58:45I mean, you want to start naming all the stuff that sucks in this
- 58:50game right now, but they put it in anyway.
- 58:54I just add one more thing to the pile, Drake.
- 58:56Drake Shift. We will be here.
- 58:58They're always going to suck. Well, yeah, that's not a new
- 59:02thing. Drake suit we're not.
- 59:04We're not in an optimization stage, we're in.
- 59:07Putting. Shit in We'll see how it works
- 59:08stage. It is.
- 59:11That's oddly pronounced recently.
- 59:15I don't like it. You do hear him, Like, yeah,
- 59:20everywhere. At.
- 59:21Least. Two or three times?
- 59:22You mean James Harrington? Cheeseburger.
- 59:25Who lives in Nick's, I guess. He lives everywhere.
- 59:28I just, I wish he just stuck to James Harrington.
- 59:33Yeah, he should have had one character.
- 59:35And he should have been news flash bullshit guy.
- 59:41Isn't that that guy who tried to blow up the Federation in Star
- 59:44Trek? Beyond.
- 59:45Well, no, that was technically. Mark your bingo.
- 59:47Card space, yeah. John Harrington.
- 59:52And it became fucking yeah God. Yeah, Power sliding, I think
- 1:00:02it's going to be OK. I think that there are pluses.
- 1:00:08I mean honestly, like what's what is rubber banding and lag
- 1:00:12aside, what is the positive of power sliding that people are
- 1:00:17worried about exactly? I'm not worried.
- 1:00:23You're going to have to ask these fools, I think.
- 1:00:25I'm not, no. I will say all I was.
- 1:00:27Coming to. The jank side of it in the
- 1:00:30beginning of just a little, I'm like, this is gonna be
- 1:00:34interesting, 'cause I think like a certain person that we run
- 1:00:37into a lot, right? Like there's been no scope three
- 1:00:4060s like. It's gonna be.
- 1:00:42Yeah, there's gonna. Be, but other than just be
- 1:00:45another thing. Yeah, I think it'll be.
- 1:00:48I think it'll be fine. It'll be interesting.
- 1:00:50Add more movements, more animations, the better.
- 1:00:54Because it's it's just like there's more to do.
- 1:00:57It'd be. Interesting people power.
- 1:00:58Sliding out the door in ruin, it's like, oh cool.
- 1:01:03Maybe they can physicalize things and if you slide and
- 1:01:07there's like a pipe. I was just thinking that they're
- 1:01:08like, what if there's a small chance that when your power
- 1:01:11slide and you just kind of like skin your knee and you stop
- 1:01:14halfway and you're the Peter Griffin?
- 1:01:19They offer an alternative to the to the power slide.
- 1:01:23An alternative I think would be if you get a type of power armor
- 1:01:27and then you curl up into a ball and you roll around everywhere.
- 1:01:32I think, I think there's a trademark name for that that we
- 1:01:35can't say or else the lawyers will come.
- 1:01:38You could. Morph.
- 1:01:39You could morph into a ball. Like a Mighty Morphin.
- 1:01:45No, more like a like a. Metro.
- 1:01:49Or something like that. If if you think CI GS lawyers
- 1:01:53are are bad just just wait until this this company's lawyers like
- 1:02:01you can't even say the company name.
- 1:02:03You mean you mean the company that starts with an N and ends
- 1:02:07with an O? No.
- 1:02:11Nimbango. Bingo.
- 1:02:16Yes, we don't. Want to get sued by new?
- 1:02:18Bingo mambo mambo Nam bingo. Wait, are you talking?
- 1:02:25About the Nintendo. Yeah, the playing card company,
- 1:02:28yeah. Hey, do you use transparent
- 1:02:30pockets? Oh God damn it.
- 1:02:32Oh. Good, that's cool.
- 1:02:32We let's just do all the references.
- 1:02:34I didn't. I, for the record, wasn't
- 1:02:36setting him up for that. That was just coincidental.
- 1:02:39Syphilis. Bingo card Mark.
- 1:02:44So look guys, if if everyone's had their fill of power sliding,
- 1:02:49if an hour of talking about power sliding feels like enough.
- 1:02:53Did we actually though? Yeah, I mean just about.
- 1:02:58Did you say all that was power sliding though?
- 1:03:00Well if you have something you want to add hobo you can add.
- 1:03:03No, no, I'm just waiting for Skier to get here.
- 1:03:06So I have AI do have a list of of of things we we can go over
- 1:03:10and one of those things is coming up.
- 1:03:13We have a big old ship event, big old ship time, Bango ship
- 1:03:17time and all kinds of ships coming out.
- 1:03:19None of them I want. So honestly, I don't really care
- 1:03:22about this, but you guys can tell me what you care about with
- 1:03:27these ships. It is Drake defense con.
- 1:03:29We have the ironclad on the way. We have a crew, which actually
- 1:03:33the Kruger fighter may be pretty cool.
- 1:03:37We supposedly have another hammerhead variant and a salvage
- 1:03:44Raylan on the horizon, which honestly disappoints me of like
- 1:03:49really kind of hurts me. Things that I think could ruin
- 1:03:52the game. It is ship variance.
- 1:03:56So maybe we just talk about now for a little bit and we'll go,
- 1:03:59we'll go around. We'll start with Broccoli ROB
- 1:04:01ship variance, you know, salvage, Raylan Laser,
- 1:04:06Hammerhead. What's going on with ship
- 1:04:09variants and how do you feel? Broccoli Rob.
- 1:04:13I feel all right about them. You know, it's Nah, I don't
- 1:04:17know, gets older, ships a gold pass, gets more variety in the
- 1:04:23game, like seeing like, I don't know, the Gollum and the Gollum
- 1:04:27Ox and then the Prospector and the Fortune.
- 1:04:32It's yeah, I don't know, different, different ways to
- 1:04:36play the game. Like, so there's not just one
- 1:04:41salvage ship and there's not just one mining ship.
- 1:04:46I'll see it as a bad thing. It's fun.
- 1:04:49OK, OK, fair enough. Murphy, Jack.
- 1:04:52How do you feel about ship variance?
- 1:04:57Yeah, it's cool. I'm fine.
- 1:04:59That's all I got. I'm really indifferent.
- 1:05:02Indifferent. Wow.
- 1:05:04OK hobo, how do you feel? I don't mind like they're an
- 1:05:10efficient way of using resources and already available whole I I
- 1:05:14think it's, I think it's fine. So all all you guys, I mean,
- 1:05:19look for me the Gattac Raylan, it's an alien ship.
- 1:05:24It's designed for cargo. The fact that like you have a
- 1:05:27ship that does its thing, it makes that ship kind of unique
- 1:05:30and cool. I I'm afraid of getting, you
- 1:05:33know, if every ship can just be anything, that's just like, oh,
- 1:05:36what shape do you like? And then, you know, is it really
- 1:05:43that's, that's my fear. That's how I'm afraid of what?
- 1:05:45What do you think, Lord Numis? I think that my Volkswagen Jetta
- 1:05:53GLI Autobahn Edition that I used to own was a very specific
- 1:05:57model. My Ford Fusion Sport was a very
- 1:06:01specific model and that it only makes sense.
- 1:06:05Not everything can be, you know, like just its own thing.
- 1:06:11I mean, but inherently by the design, it kind of takes that on
- 1:06:14already. So when you're talking about
- 1:06:15like, Oh well, the ship can be, you know, anything it really
- 1:06:19can't. Like you can't really turn an
- 1:06:21Aurora into a cargo ship. It just isn't oh, there is a
- 1:06:25cargo, but that's my point, there's a cargo of the Aurora.
- 1:06:30It's any anything less than you know. 30 SCU of cargo isn't
- 1:06:36really a cargo ship no matter what it says.
- 1:06:39It just has some extra storage in the back, you know?
- 1:06:41But having those options and having those variants is pretty
- 1:06:45realistic and I think, you know, add some flavour to things.
- 1:06:49I mean, there is a reason why they make them and people do
- 1:06:52like to specialize them. OK.
- 1:06:54How do you feel about these ship variants?
- 1:06:57I think it's just another vehicle to monetize existing
- 1:07:01assets. Just put a new wrapper on it and
- 1:07:03they can just monetize that again to support the game, which
- 1:07:07I'm fine with that. I mean, if people want to spend
- 1:07:09the money that's that's their money to spend on, I would much
- 1:07:13rather have them in game gamify this to where they have a base
- 1:07:19like, you know, how many different tonnas do we have?
- 1:07:21How many auroras do we have? And those were kind of like in
- 1:07:23the beginning entry level ships. What if they had that and they
- 1:07:29had all those variants, but you just take the base model and
- 1:07:32then you had you change certain loadouts in it and you have, you
- 1:07:36know, the, the, the cargo variant or the fighter variant
- 1:07:39or whatever the case may be. I think that would be a lot
- 1:07:42better to do. Yeah, the modular experience, I
- 1:07:47suppose. Well, just.
- 1:07:48Just put it in game, make it part of the game, you know, let
- 1:07:53you change that in game. You know you can change weapons,
- 1:07:56why not change components? You know, the I, I, I would say
- 1:07:59what what's the big difference between 1 version of a ship and
- 1:08:03another version of a ship? It's just a few light cosmetic
- 1:08:06changes as far as the eye, you know, How difficult could that
- 1:08:10be to to gamify? Way too geeky.
- 1:08:15What do you feel about these ship variants?
- 1:08:17Well, I don't know. Did you guys hear about the
- 1:08:20Odin? The woden.
- 1:08:23It's pronounced woden. Odin.
- 1:08:26So the Odin, you can buy it if you can justify being the good
- 1:08:34ship captain and if you're concierge or if you've been
- 1:08:43playing the game a lot. What is the Odin?
- 1:08:48The Odin is supposedly the What is it the battle?
- 1:08:54Battle Cruiser. From the Yeah so to as of today,
- 1:09:02you could either choose to justify why you'd be a good
- 1:09:08captain of a battle cruiser and you're like oh I'd be great
- 1:09:13because of XYZ, or you've demonstrated you would be
- 1:09:19apparently from playing the game a lot.
- 1:09:22What the only way to buy a battle cruiser?
- 1:09:26How do you demonstrate? Not that's not that's not true.
- 1:09:31It it's not the only way and but it is the most guaranteed way.
- 1:09:36They announce it two ways today as far as I know.
- 1:09:41Today, as far as I know, you either say how good.
- 1:09:48You write him a. Letter and you have to be part
- 1:09:51of concierge. Yeah.
- 1:09:54Or you've demonstrated that outside of that.
- 1:10:02And however way they determine that, and it's a bunch of
- 1:10:05vagueness about activity. But that's the only way I've
- 1:10:08seen, and that is the I'm I'm usually like a white knight.
- 1:10:13I'm like this seems really fucking weird.
- 1:10:17Didn't they? They did something similar for
- 1:10:19the for the Kraken, though for the first rounds of the Kraken
- 1:10:23it wasn't quite like this, but. I, I think, I think they're
- 1:10:29trying to use media or like, I think social media fodder.
- 1:10:34I mean like. I agree.
- 1:10:35I agree. And the part of me that wants
- 1:10:39the game to succeed is like, awesome, do it.
- 1:10:43But then there's the part of me that's like the players and I'm
- 1:10:49not, I'm not someone who's I'm not buying a battle cruiser.
- 1:10:56I could probably get one. I could probably get them to
- 1:11:01allow me to buy one. I'm not going to buy one.
- 1:11:05Would you write? What would you write, Kiki?
- 1:11:09What would you write? What would be your justification
- 1:11:12of why you should get a battle cruiser?
- 1:11:15Because I want to make my my group of friends happy and we
- 1:11:19have a good group of people who are solified in the game.
- 1:11:24I'm like, I we would just make, we'd have a fun time.
- 1:11:30It's not even anything surprising.
- 1:11:33It'd be like what everyone else would.
- 1:11:35Do come on guys. That we have a fun time.
- 1:11:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You, you, you got to let them
- 1:11:44know that you're going to explore the final frontier.
- 1:11:46Yeah, but that's that's not what a battle.
- 1:11:49So for me, because that's not what a battle cruiser would be
- 1:11:52for me, I already lost because I'm a exploration type of
- 1:11:58person. You'll Boo until we show you.
- 1:12:05Hear me out on the Elise the Concierge part.
- 1:12:11It's a great way to keep people from buying it solely to resell
- 1:12:15it. OK, I'm.
- 1:12:18You you make you make a brand new account and then you buy or
- 1:12:25like you, I don't know, $500 in and then you pitch it and then
- 1:12:29you get it and you're like, all right, I got 505 hundred 600
- 1:12:33bucks on this account. Fuck it, I'm just going to sell
- 1:12:35this thing. I feel like concierge shows that
- 1:12:40it's like you're this is your account.
- 1:12:43This is not an account that you want to sell.
- 1:12:46I'm not complaining arbitrary. Yeah.
- 1:12:48No, I'm, I don't think you're complaining.
- 1:12:50I'm just saying I think that's why they're saying concierge
- 1:12:53only. And yeah, I don't know, they
- 1:12:57probably just don't want it to be.
- 1:13:00They. Wanted to, they wanted to get
- 1:13:02out there. They don't want people to drop
- 1:13:035K so they could be like, look at this shiny thing that I have.
- 1:13:08But do you think it helps their story of being like, hey, this
- 1:13:14game isn't greedy? Do you remember when they did
- 1:13:20this with the Kraken or the Nautilus?
- 1:13:22I've been there, yeah. You remember it though, is so
- 1:13:25you. You remember that this is the
- 1:13:27third time that they've done it. But this is the time now where
- 1:13:32it's it's visible to people who are about to maybe buy Squadron
- 1:13:3642. I think time is going to be a
- 1:13:40thing in a month. That's true, yeah.
- 1:13:43I think everyone's going to freak this with him.
- 1:13:45Maybe for us, but what's crazy is so the thing that stands out
- 1:13:52for me, I'm a die hard Reddit has been telling me so many
- 1:13:59people who have left the game. I'm sitting there and I'm like,
- 1:14:07I could never leave the game for these bullshit reasons, but
- 1:14:11Reddit's just challenging me. Yeah, but imagine, imagine
- 1:14:16you're like, I've had enough of this game, and then you're like,
- 1:14:19I'm going. To go no I never will on the.
- 1:14:20Internet, no, but imagine you have and then your next move is
- 1:14:23like I'm going to go on the Internet and explain to people
- 1:14:26why I've had enough of this game in like some weird foreign
- 1:14:28posts. It's just like it's like a weird
- 1:14:29thing to do. I'm not saying people don't do
- 1:14:31it, but it's like they're not really over it but like texting
- 1:14:34your ex you. Know, but I also think the way
- 1:14:38they framed why this is, they made it seem like the most
- 1:14:44closest of backers are the ones who are going to get it.
- 1:14:50But I'm like, I'm not buying this shit.
- 1:14:52I'm not. I'm not spending that money.
- 1:14:56Yeah. Well, I think part of it is for
- 1:14:59them because the people are going to spend the money on this
- 1:15:02or they're going to be the ones submitting it.
- 1:15:05I mean, I don't think anybody goes into this thing that it's
- 1:15:07going to be like. But they did have to even bother
- 1:15:09with that. They could have they already
- 1:15:11have this the stats like. But they're selling the
- 1:15:17experience and that's The thing is they make them feel like
- 1:15:21they're literally getting them to spend 5 bucks a, I'm sorry,
- 1:15:24$5000, which is. That's insane.
- 1:15:28Yeah, we. We have old price, Yeah, we have
- 1:15:31no. Hey, my car.
- 1:15:32Just for reference, my car is valued at less than $5000.
- 1:15:36My physical automobile. That's sad.
- 1:15:39Sorry, I gave out to him too much.
- 1:15:41Anyways. So JoJo, it's a shit box.
- 1:15:44Hey, Jojo's broke. But I mean the fuck.
- 1:15:49But I mean, I mean, they're literally getting people to
- 1:15:53like, I don't want to say beg, but make themselves feel like
- 1:15:59they're part of something by asking and, and, and show how.
- 1:16:03Much they listen. And at that point, they can.
- 1:16:07Well, hold on. I got to stop you guys here.
- 1:16:08I got to stop everything because we do have a late Comer, a late
- 1:16:12bloomer here in the in the so I do want to plum up.
- 1:16:17He's blue. He's been he's been typing all
- 1:16:20day in in our little chat here. It is.
- 1:16:24Skeeter. Skeeter, welcome to Comms
- 1:16:25Reader. You're live with Jar Jar
- 1:16:27Jabroni. Way too geeky of Citizen Cast,
- 1:16:29Murphy, Jack, Wicket, Lord Numis, Cosmic Kobo and Broccoli
- 1:16:33Rob. You may know these folks, but
- 1:16:34what we want to hear from you. Skeeter, forget the new ships.
- 1:16:37Can I power slide? Oh.
- 1:16:40Thanks. Thanks for having me.
- 1:16:43I got to be honest, I was a little embarrassed about the
- 1:16:45question 'cause I thought we were talking about power sliding
- 1:16:48ships and I was like, I've got that.
- 1:16:51Like I don't understand. All right, you can leave the.
- 1:16:53Trade up now. You can you can go.
- 1:16:55It's just drifting. What is this?
- 1:16:58All right, drifting was it was a term coined way later than power
- 1:17:04siding. The original drifting is a power
- 1:17:06slide. And like I had a really good
- 1:17:09video of us and you know, the group of guys that used to play
- 1:17:11with I don't play with anymore, but we we power slid a, you
- 1:17:15know, AMSR like coming in clutch for a prison rescue.
- 1:17:19It was actually really good video.
- 1:17:23But so I was confused. I was like, well, I you know, we
- 1:17:25used to power slide back in the the three dot days.
- 1:17:28So but you know, I think the first FPS game I, you know,
- 1:17:33played with the version of power slide you're referring to was
- 1:17:37apex. And I want us.
- 1:17:39I don't know if it was the first game to kind of introduce it,
- 1:17:41but it was the First Aiden team played.
- 1:17:45Apex Legends. Yeah, man, not the first.
- 1:17:48Yeah, not the first. I said, I don't know if it's the
- 1:17:52first yard, it's fine. OK.
- 1:17:55But anyways, I thought that was pretty cool and I'm excited.
- 1:17:59But to Murphy's point, like how is this going to affect D sync
- 1:18:03and like actually landing shots and it should be harder to hit
- 1:18:07someone who's sliding. Like a totally get that.
- 1:18:10But my concern is, you know, server meshing has not fixed D
- 1:18:15sync like everybody thought it was going to.
- 1:18:17And you know, are you shooting at someone who's not actually
- 1:18:20there? So I'll be curious to see how it
- 1:18:23plays out in the PvP scenario. Well, Skeeter, that's old news.
- 1:18:29We're talking about ships now. We have totally.
- 1:18:32Pronounced question. And gone the opposite direction
- 1:18:35of it. Just keep up with the show, you
- 1:18:36know what I'm saying? Like, figure it out.
- 1:18:38You're listening to the whole time, you know.
- 1:18:40You let a maker. I actually have a better
- 1:18:45question. I want to know if Geeky's
- 1:18:47drinking. He says he's drinking bourbon.
- 1:18:51Evan Williams? Oh, man.
- 1:18:53Like, OK. Which Evan Williams?
- 1:18:56Must be specific. Classic I may have.
- 1:19:01I like, don't get me wrong, I like Evan Williams, Evan
- 1:19:03Williams Black Label as my go to for many, many years.
- 1:19:06Listen, I live in Brooklyn. It cost me 20 bucks.
- 1:19:10Dog what? Do you live in Brooklyn?
- 1:19:13Yeah, hey, that's where Brock, Ron bedside.
- 1:19:17I'm in. I'm in Boerum Hill.
- 1:19:21And you all are docs in yourselves.
- 1:19:22Wait, you in they? Don't live in Brooklyn.
- 1:19:25It's it's a joke. Wait.
- 1:19:27No one else here lives in Brooklyn.
- 1:19:30Boerum Hill, yeah. Geeky Yeah.
- 1:19:32Broccoli Rob, You guys may have bumped into each other and not.
- 1:19:35Even know probably neighbors. I doubt it.
- 1:19:39I bet they live. Right, big city.
- 1:19:41You live on the G Oh. My.
- 1:19:44God AC. Oh shit, I live on the AC
- 1:19:47anyway. We'll, we'll sideline it.
- 1:19:50Broccoli, Rob. I'm coming up to Brooklyn in.
- 1:19:54Pretty soon there's going to be a dresses floating back and.
- 1:19:57Forth, I didn't get to answer the couch question.
- 1:20:00Yeah, hold on a second. I'm.
- 1:20:01Coming up for. Five weeks.
- 1:20:02We should all hang out. Yeah.
- 1:20:05What are you saying, Skeet? I didn't get to answer the couch
- 1:20:08question. He did.
- 1:20:11Oh, the couch question. Oh, how do you feel?
- 1:20:13How do you feel about the the fucking, you know, all the ships
- 1:20:18with the stuff? I like, so I I do like.
- 1:20:22I like all the ships. My, the only concern I have is
- 1:20:27if it's like, the way you put it is it's the same ship with a
- 1:20:30different wrapper. Yeah.
- 1:20:33That I don't think it's come to that quite yet.
- 1:20:36But there should be a huge variety of ships.
- 1:20:38Like, think of all the cars that are in the world.
- 1:20:39A lot of them have similar functions, but they're different
- 1:20:42in their own ways. And I kind of like the variety,
- 1:20:45but they should be different. It shouldn't just be a different
- 1:20:48paint, you know, slapped on it. So they already have so, so many
- 1:20:54ships and they keep coming out with new ships, which is what
- 1:20:57kind of baffles me because they haven't delivered all the ships
- 1:21:00that they even originally promised.
- 1:21:03But yeah, we keep getting some like, surprise, here's a new
- 1:21:05ship you've never heard of. And but oh, sorry, we, we, we
- 1:21:10know you've paid for all these other ships and we haven't given
- 1:21:12them to you yet. So that's kind of like, that's a
- 1:21:15little like, I don't know how to feel about that.
- 1:21:18You know, I always try to give CIG the benefit of the doubt,
- 1:21:21you know Y'all? I get called the optimist all
- 1:21:23the time and but this makes it's a little frustrating I guess.
- 1:21:31There's not really enough ships in the backlog that are made
- 1:21:35they're able to be built at this time to keep.
- 1:21:39CI do you have the Kraken? Oh well.
- 1:21:44Is on its way. Kraken will be next year at
- 1:21:47defence. Con.
- 1:21:50Yeah, OK. Yep.
- 1:21:51I, I, I think if you were like, oh, I'm, I'm like hardcore for
- 1:21:59the. Israel.
- 1:22:06No. No jar Jar no.
- 1:22:08No, no I don't. Know what we were talking?
- 1:22:09About no no, I'm trying to think.
- 1:22:12We can cuss and we can touch shit, but.
- 1:22:15We're not going to touch that on this show.
- 1:22:17We don't we that that's. Not just the.

- 1:24:09thank you for being a part of everything.
- 1:24:14And that's it. Yeah.
- 1:24:17Wow, look at that. Yeah.
- 1:24:19That is way too geeky. Thank thank Way for joining us
- 1:24:23of Citizen casts. I love them.
- 1:24:25I, I love falling asleep to them.
- 1:24:27They're they're they're. Good.
- 1:24:28Oh, thanks guys. Yeah, that's how wonderful I
- 1:24:31was. Going to do.
- 1:24:32I'm going to sleep. Thanks.
- 1:24:33Thanks. Are you?
- 1:24:36Are you saying they're so? Bored this white noise to jar
- 1:24:39jar. I'm about to kill myself right
- 1:24:41now, thanks. Can I?
- 1:24:43Can I publicly not shit on your podcast, but tell you something
- 1:24:48that that you guys do? And I was like, Oh, I'm not
- 1:24:51going to do that. And it's because I was I tried
- 1:24:54to fall asleep to your podcast and I would fall asleep to your
- 1:24:56podcast all the time. That way too geeky and and and I
- 1:24:59love it. Say whatever you want.
- 1:25:01Very often, I mean very often I listen the whole thing, but I
- 1:25:04play it sometimes at night. It's it's in my rotation of
- 1:25:07things I can sleep to. However, you have some dope ass
- 1:25:13music for your segments. You have actual segments in your
- 1:25:16show which we don't have 'cause you're like hosting something
- 1:25:20for real. It's.
- 1:25:22Not good. Did we try at 1:00?
- 1:25:24Point. Yeah, it's too.
- 1:25:25Much. It's so easy to sound like it's
- 1:25:27good. It's so easy to sound easy.
- 1:25:29No, it is good, but you do a for science and your theme song for
- 1:25:35science. Every time I if I fall asleep
- 1:25:38before that it it wakes me up. Well, no one does anything for
- 1:25:42science anymore. So if I could, yeah, that's
- 1:25:46inscribe anything. Our podcast wants people to give
- 1:25:53us knowledge what they did for science.
- 1:25:56Yep, it's true. Where do they?
- 1:25:59Where do they like in? Game or in general?
- 1:26:03So things you discover in game for science, if you've measured
- 1:26:07anything or anything. Only do Yeah, where do?
- 1:26:09They submit that to Geeky on your discord.
- 1:26:12Our discord, or almost any other discord's the best.
- 1:26:18Where do we find the Citizen cast discord?
- 1:26:22It should be in Oh, I'm like our show notes.
- 1:26:26I'm like. Linked to the show notes, right?
- 1:26:28Yeah. If you could.
- 1:26:30Listen to Susan cast link to show notes.
- 1:26:32You can join the citizen cast discord and drop in.
- 1:26:35They also have a question every week and they do it for science
- 1:26:39put enough for science in there if if you've done anything cool
- 1:26:42for for citizen cast. So the way we end this show, I'm
- 1:26:46not sure if you're familiar with this geeky, but every week when
- 1:26:49we end the show, we go around, we go around backwards and and I
- 1:26:52ask folks if there's anything they'd like to say to CIG, Chris
- 1:26:56Roberts or the people on the Internet.
- 1:26:58And this week our last caller in was Skeeter.
- 1:27:00Skeeter, is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris
- 1:27:03Roberts or the people on the Internet?
- 1:27:05There's so many things I got. I like to say I feel like I got

- 1:27:41really want to crack in and. I.
