  Freedom fighters, Frontier fighters, what are they,
• 0:07
  terrorists, Freedom fighters? I don't know.
• 0:09
  But hopefully our very, very special guest this week,
• 0:12
  spokesperson and press secretary for Imperator Addison, will be
• 0:15
  joining us to answer those questions right up here at the
• 0:18
  top of the show. Later on in the show, we're
• 0:21
  going to continue on with our normal weekly questions.
• 0:24
  This is a call in show. After all.
• 0:25
  We do have a question every week.
• 0:27
  This week's question is a little spooky.
• 0:29
  What's the scariest thing CIG could engineer and Star Citizen?
• 0:35
  Going to be honest, this did not go the way I thought it was
• 0:37
  going to go, but it was a lot of fun.
• 0:39

  Well, that's all for the intro here.
• 1:06
  Let's just get right into it. I'm George or jabroni, and this
• 1:10
  is open coms radio. The thing isn't, though, now
• 1:22
  that you say that I can't see it.
• 1:23
  You're absolutely right. After we're playing.
• 1:25
  Let's let's talk about that first, because I was going to go
• 1:27
  in a totally different. Direction.
• 1:29
  You can make as much money as you need and work your way
• 1:32
  towards any ship in the game. They, they were trying to cash
• 1:35
  in off of that nostalgia and that hype.
• 1:41
  We're live. All right, you're live.
• 1:43
  You're here. You're you're listening to Open
• 1:46
  Comms Radio, the number one Star Citizen call in podcast.
• 1:52
  Can't. You can't do that.
• 1:53
  What's this the number one Star Citizen podcast that you're
• 1:56
  currently listening? To no when.
• 1:59
  You can do that one. Yeah, you can.
• 2:02
  You can do that one. I feel like that's fair.
• 2:04
  Yeah, that's fair, you know? Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:07
  I mean, yeah, difficult to verify, but we we'll stick with
• 2:10
  that. Yeah, yeah, they could.
• 2:13
  They could very easily be listening to two at the same
• 2:15
  time. That's true.
• 2:18
  What do they call that? When you're when you're just
• 2:20
  like listening to three songs at the same time?
• 2:23
  There's a word for that. It's somewhere, somewhere on the
• 2:30
  spectrum. Yep.
• 2:33
  Where we all are. Fake news.
• 2:35
  Oh this? This wicked guy again.
• 2:41
  Oh, in the chat, yeah, we have wicket writing in the chat that
• 2:43
  we're. A bunch of.
• 2:43
  Fake news that we're not giving you the proper information.
• 2:47
  And I just, I just want to let everyone know because listen,
• 2:50
  Opencoms Radio, that's true. That is we're we, that's not
• 2:54
  what we do. We never said we would give you
• 2:58
  proper information. We never paraded ourselves as a
• 3:02
  news entity. Have never suggested that we are
• 3:06
  a fount of accurate information or even good information or
• 3:10
  valuable information or even information, period, really.
• 3:16
  Yeah, we're we're pretty much Star Citizen slop.
• 3:19
  Yeah. Yeah, we're the fluff.
• 3:22
  We're the fluff. But somehow, Duke, somehow we
• 3:26
  managed to get a very, very, very special guest from the UEE
• 3:29
  with us today. Well, this is big time, so we
• 3:33
  take like everything we just said.
• 3:36
  Well, we don't have to. That's, that's we're, we're,
• 3:40
  we're self produced. There's no, there's no one
• 3:44
  sitting in an office. There's no one making decisions.
• 3:47
  You know, it's just me, Duke. I've, you know, I pay.
• 3:52
  You sit in an office. Sometimes you aren't on your.
• 3:55
  Not for a long time. Not for a long time.
• 3:57
  I'm I'm in my pajamas. I'm talking about the porcelain
• 4:00
  office. The what?
• 4:04
  The porcelain office? The toilet.
• 4:09
  Oh, aren't you usually doing the podcast from the toilet?
• 4:12
  Yeah, that's, that's what it's what we're known for, right?
• 4:16
  It is. It is what we're known for.
• 4:17
  And you're, we're trying to get a fucking reputation here and
• 4:20
  you're not even picking up on the porcelain humor.
• 4:22
  No, that's how you do it. That's how you.
• 4:24
  Do it OK, All right, we. Do the toilet humor and then a
• 4:27
  representative for Imperator Addison from the ude.
• 4:33
  Joins us. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:36
  So, well, this week on Open Comms Radio, because it's a Star
• 4:39
  Citizen call in show and every every week we have a question.
• 4:42
  This week's question is what's the scariest thing CIG could
• 4:46
  engineer and Star Citizen? And I thought of that because
• 4:48
  it's it's the, it's the Vara day of the Vara.
• 4:53
  Oh yeah. OK.
• 4:54
  Yeah, that makes sense. So I want I wanted to do a scary
• 4:57
  question so I thought if I what's the scariest thing?
• 5:01
  I thought, I thought you were just afraid of engineering, you
• 5:04
  know, like a little techno psychosis or something.
• 5:09
  Well, if you have you seen the reviews?
• 5:13
  I've I've seen some whining, but I I have my own thoughts on I
• 5:17
  have my own thoughts on that. All right, well, hold your
• 5:19
  thoughts right there, Duke, because.
• 5:21
  Before we talk. About this week's question,
• 5:22
  we're going to bring open our guest that we teased for you,
• 5:25
  representative from the UEE. The Press Secretary for
• 5:30
  Imperator Addison is with us today.
• 5:33
  Press secretary for Imperator Addison, welcome to Open Comms
• 5:36
  Radio. Hello.
• 5:38
  Hello. I take it they gave you my name?
• 5:42
  Yeah, I, I'm going to be honest, I didn't know how to pronounce
• 5:46
  it. It is schmuckl muckles.
• 5:48
  Schmuckl Muckles. Schmidt.
• 5:51
  And it's Schmidt. Schmidt, Schmidt.
• 5:54
  Schmidt is. Is, yeah.
• 5:58
  Secretary Schmidt, thank you for joining us.
• 6:00
  Yeah. Thank you.
• 6:02
  Thank you. And is it your Your Eminence or
• 6:04
  your excellence? Your Excellence Schmidt, Your
• 6:08
  secretary, Secretary Schmidt. Yeah, yes.
• 6:11
  SEC Schmidt for short. Well, Secretary Schmidt, there
• 6:15
  is, there's been some, a lot of controversy recently regarding
• 6:20
  the Frontier Fighters, whom as you know, have been trying to
• 6:24
  respawn themselves, bring themselves back, reanimate
• 6:28
  themselves in the Stanton system.
• 6:31
  Many, many are calling them, including you and your
• 6:34
  administration are calling them terrorists.
• 6:36
  However, many on the fringes of space see the Frontier Fighters
• 6:41
  as a charitable organization. How does your administration
• 6:44
  respond? Well, first of all, I, I don't
• 6:49
  understand where you're getting your information and the fact
• 6:52
  that you're calling the advocacy, our greatest
• 6:55
  intelligence service, liars is frankly offensive.
• 6:59
  So I'm going to skip over to you next question.
• 7:06
  Isn't, I mean isn't lying sort of part of the job though when
• 7:09
  you're an intelligence service? Excuse me now you're just
• 7:14
  outright accusing them of lying. Is that what you're saying?
• 7:17
  Is that is? You.
• 7:19
  From your publication of all places.
• 7:23
  Oh, we we never lie here on Open Cons Radio.
• 7:27
  Except when we when we do. No, no, your your, your entire
• 7:31
  newspaper, your little newsletter that you e-mail to
• 7:35
  everybody is just nothing but slander about Addison the entire
• 7:38
  time. So I don't really expect any
• 7:40
  serious questions from you in the 1st place next.
• 7:43
  Question Secretary, I have that whole article phrasing Addison's
• 7:46
  style in the way that his pants fit.
• 7:49
  So her pants. So I I really don't think that
• 7:51
  that's slander. Secretary Schmidt, given that
• 7:56
  impaired Addison cannot fit into her own pants in her history of
• 8:02
  claiming progressive policies with regard to migration into
• 8:07
  the state and system, why have the frontier fighters?
• 8:10
  You know, I just want to, I just want to interject here about
• 8:12
  this accusation about the pants. You know, I've, I've heard you
• 8:16
  in the media keep making this accusation that she can't fit
• 8:19
  into her pants, that she had to go to Mervyn's.
• 8:22
  She went over to several other places that don't exist anymore.
• 8:26
  Or. Try to find these pants, you
• 8:29
  know, and and and it's it's just non-stop.
• 8:32
  Find a new story. No.
• 8:34
  One wants to. I think she looks great.
• 8:36
  Leilani can lay it on me anytime she wants.
• 8:42
  Could someone escort him out? All right.
• 8:46
  Well, Secretary Schmidt impair impair to Addison's
• 8:52
  administration has recently okayed funding for more.
• 8:59
  I suppose you would call them contractors to attack these
• 9:04
  frontier fighters. What is the administration's
• 9:06
  stance on using private militaries rather than the UE ES
• 9:11
  very own professional military? I think that we have a lot of
• 9:17
  patriotic citizens willing to stand up, willing to put their
• 9:22
  own lives on the line, not for an oath, but for the duty for
• 9:25
  their country. And they are, you know,
• 9:29
  appropriately rewarded for their for their contributions.
• 9:34
  And I and I think that the slant you put on this like somehow
• 9:38
  hiring people who are willing to stand up when and and give our
• 9:43
  boys in in green in the Navy arrest.
• 9:48
  I, I think, I think, I think you really need to think about where
• 9:50
  you're coming from with that, with that question there.
• 9:53
  Next question. Secretary, do do you feel
• 9:59
  threatened by open comms? I mean, I, I thought that we
• 10:02
  were representative as as a voice of the people and you are
• 10:06
  a representative of the people. I mean, I don't think, you know,
• 10:10
  we're, we're not, we're, we're not here to tear down the UE.
• 10:14
  We're, we're just trying to better understand it and bring
• 10:18
  that sort of Fair balanced in. You know, and you call it open
• 10:21
  comms and, and, and I'm sorry, I just had to stop you right
• 10:25
  there. You call it open comms, but is
• 10:27
  it really that open you're not willing to take on, you know the
• 10:32
  the other side of the argument, you know the.
• 10:35
  Secretary, as we're having some some communications, some
• 10:40
  technical difficulties there. We will be back with Press
• 10:43
  Secretary Schmidt later in the show.
• 10:45
  Unfortunately, for now, I think I believe we have to continue
• 10:49
  with our regularly scheduled programming.
• 10:52
  We gotta we gotta open up these comms.
• 10:54
  We're gonna open up these comms. That is what's the scariest
• 10:58
  thing CIG could do in Star Citizen?
• 11:03
  Could engineer Sorry. Sorry, it's open my throat.
• 11:08
  All right, we're going to bring up our our next guest here,
• 11:10
  Cosmic Hobo. Cosmic Hobo.
• 11:15
  Thank you for joining us. I didn't like when Addison wore
• 11:20
  that tan. The tan suit.
• 11:23
  Killed her. It was an embarrassment to the
• 11:29
  Empire, no? Cosmic hobo Dang all what's?
• 11:36
  The scariest thing CIG could engineer and Star Citizen.
• 11:42
  Fan suits for everyone. Like Vandal, but scarier.
• 11:46
  Like imagine, imagine if you will Glory.
• 11:52
  You're exploring a broken down ship like the old investigation
• 11:56
  missions used to have, and you hear a bump and you're just by
• 12:01
  yourself. You're a bump on the ship.
• 12:04
  You're a scratching sound. You're just kind of floating
• 12:07
  around and then the jump scare hits here with the vandal when
• 12:11
  he's going to slice you. Hey, come on, hey, come on.
• 12:14
  That'd be great for the first stop and then it's and then you
• 12:20
  just know to shoot them because they're going to be around the
• 12:22
  corner in the left. Or.
• 12:23
  Whatever aren't the aren't the vandal very blady?
• 12:26
  Don't they walk around in knives and.
• 12:27
  Yeah, they're pretty stabby. Yeah, definitely.
• 12:29
  Stabby. Yeah, he's.
• 12:30
  Stabbing. He's going to stab you.
• 12:32
  You want to be sneaking around, like looking for something
• 12:34
  you're scratching. Sounds like.
• 12:35
  Oh, that could be a vandal. He might.
• 12:37
  He might stab me. I think it was Freud that said
• 12:40
  that that was probably indicative of some sexual
• 12:42
  frustration. I could see it.
• 12:46
  Yeah. OK, OK.
• 12:49
  Ask Chris Roberts. So I think I think the real
• 12:51
  answer here is sexy Vandool. That's the scariest thing, that.
• 12:55
  We haven't seen a female or have we?
• 12:58
  As we don't know, maybe they all look alike.
• 13:00
  And males can be sexy too, and I'm not there's.
• 13:02
  A Right. I thought it was a little
• 13:03
  sexist. I think I'd let it slide, but go
• 13:05
  ahead I. Think there's a lower reason for
• 13:07
  this? Is that spoilers for I don't
• 13:12
  know, The Regen Crisis and a bit of the background about the
• 13:15
  vandal, but they're all genetically modified, so I think
• 13:20
  they're at that point of an alien race where the concept of
• 13:25
  sex and gender are no longer applicable in any meaningful way
• 13:31
  because their sex is killed and their gender is murder.
• 13:36
  I just got, I got chills. That was good.
• 13:39
  That was good. So do you do you think they
• 13:41
  reproduce parthenogenically or just in test tubes?
• 13:45
  I think they're all test tubes by this point.
• 13:47
  Test tubes. They're all trying to
• 13:49
  genetically modify the best warrior.
• 13:52
  And as everyone knows, genetics is a bit of a dice roll.
• 13:56
  So they're just, they keep trying and.
• 14:02
  This is why they're so stabby. Yeah, they're so mad, like.
• 14:06
  They're so mad they have no Mamas.
• 14:09
  There, there's no there's no females in their speech.
• 14:12
  Well, the and the only movie they have is Edward
• 14:14
  Scissorhands. Yeah.
• 14:16
  If that's the only movie they've got, that's that's why didn't we
• 14:20
  send that out in the satellites. Anyway, I've seen the vandal
• 14:23
  crying. He just wants a hug.
• 14:25
  That's, that's what, that's how the vandal were created.
• 14:27
  We, they did we send it out on a Voyager 1 or whatever.
• 14:30
  Now it's too early. I don't think we sent out Edward
• 14:33
  Scissorhands, did we? It could have been an early
• 14:36
  draft. Wait, didn't we we send out some
• 14:40
  movie that'd be a kind of a crazy one to send it to space
• 14:44
  for aliens? And that would kind of explain
• 14:46
  the vandal, to be honest. I think any movie we sent into
• 14:49
  space would probably get us murdered by by aliens.
• 14:53
  Yeah. Probably, unless it was
• 14:57
  Bollywood, like one of those Bollywood action movies, and
• 14:59
  then they'd be like, we're not going to fuck with these people.
• 15:02
  Oh yeah. Oh.
• 15:03
  Yeah, they wouldn't. They would never come to Earth.
• 15:04
  They'd be too scared. Yeah.
• 15:07
  Yeah, well, Duke, I I didn't ask you before you bring in our next
• 15:11
  guest, what's the scariest thing CAG could engineer?
• 15:16
  Like, you know, legitimately scariest thing that could
• 15:18
  engineer game. I would say sentient elevators.
• 15:26
  That's just. Dangerous.
• 15:28
  What would that look like? Describe that to me.
• 15:31
  It would, you know, it you'd, you'd press a button, you'd call
• 15:35
  an elevator and it would show up.
• 15:37
  Everything's fine. You know, you, you do the peak
• 15:39
  before you jump in because you're seasoned.
• 15:42
  So you make sure it's not just a black hole first on your first
• 15:45
  radio, you get in, your buddy follows you in slowly so it
• 15:49
  doesn't bump you through the wall.
• 15:51
  And then you, you know, you press the button for, you know,
• 15:55
  Jar Jar's extra large hanger, obviously.
• 15:57
  And, and it starts going and it's and it's going and it's
• 16:02
  keeps going and it slowly gets smaller and smaller.
• 16:07
  That's exactly what I was about to say.
• 16:08
  It's just, it keeps moving. But then you all like the walls
• 16:11
  start closing in, and then you notice that the the little you
• 16:14
  know, a seal between the doors starts to turn into the teeth
• 16:18
  and then next thing you know, gobbled up.
• 16:22
  Damn JoJo, you're broke. Bro I yeah.
• 16:30
  I he says give him a second. I spent all.
• 16:33
  My money on oh you're targeting game.
• 16:37
  Yes, I spend all my money on a Saber Raven in real life it's
• 16:43
  someone took it from me as always.
• 16:47
  Fastest. All right, all right, well,
• 16:50
  we're going to continue on with Open Comms Radio, Lord Lord
• 16:55
  News, Cosmic Cobra, anything you want to say before we bring up
• 16:58
  our next guest? No, bring him up.
• 17:01
  We're going to bring him up. I don't know if he's there.
• 17:03
  We're going to bring up our next guest, Lord Anubis.
• 17:06
  Lord Anubis, welcome to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen
• 17:10
  call in show you're on with George, Richard, Barney, Duke,
• 17:12
  later the 2nd and Cosmic Hobo. And we were wondering from you,
• 17:17
  what's the scariest thing CIG could engineer and Star Citizen?
• 17:23
  Well, it's very simple. What you do is all of your NPCS
• 17:30
  are powered by ChatGPT. If you look into your account
• 17:34
  and they're going to use your legal name to call you out.
• 17:37
  Sure. And they're going to look
• 17:40
  through your chat histories, all the things you're looking up,
• 17:42
  your search history, whatever. And they're going to use that to
• 17:45
  taunt you because they know your secrets.
• 17:48
  Know and what? If what if we don't have up?
• 17:52
  Grudging. Everybody's got secrets.
• 17:56
  Everyone has secrets, especially you.
• 18:01
  I'm clean as a whistle. What is what is strange
• 18:04
  expression? Yeah, clean as a whistle.
• 18:07
  Whistles are covered in spit. They are.
• 18:10
  They're not very clean. Yeah, it didn't.
• 18:13
  It it just didn't age well. This is a little digression, but
• 18:17
  I saw a clip today from Kindergarten Cop.
• 18:23
  Oh, such a good movie. Yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger, I
• 18:27
  don't know, 19861980, something like that, 1991 and he plays a
• 18:33
  kindergarten, He plays a cop who's being a pretending to be a
• 18:37
  kindergarten teacher for reasons.
• 18:39
  And all the ladies in the neighborhood are like single.
• 18:41
  All the moms are like single happenstance and Arnold
• 18:46
  Schwarzenegger, and this is like prime Schwarzenegger and he's
• 18:51
  teaching kindergarten and a mom comes in to talk about her kid
• 18:55
  and she says. Have a small problem?
• 19:00
  You see, Sylvester's father doesn't.
• 19:02
  Live with us. Anymore and and I've just been
• 19:06
  worried about Sylvester he's been acting a little strange
• 19:09
  lately you know, doing odd things like what?
• 19:13
  Well, it seems that he's. Becoming a little obsessed with
• 19:17
  playing with dolls. You know it's weird.
• 19:21
  I think I can help you with that.
• 19:23
  Really. He uses the dolls to look up
• 19:24
  girls skirts. I caught him doing it yesterday.
• 19:30
  Oh, Oh well, that's a relief. Wait, really?
• 19:36
  I don't, I do not remember this scene.
• 19:38
  Yeah, dude. And it it's just like, it's just
• 19:40
  like, I don't know. I don't remember that.
• 19:43
  I I thought I remembered that movie so well.
• 19:46
  I don't remember that that makes you that movie all the time.
• 19:53
  Honestly. I do.
• 19:55
  I do. Are these all of your lunches?
• 19:58
  Fuck all. Right.
• 20:03
  You hit the kid, I hit you. Oh, I can keep on, keep going.
• 20:08
  Yeah, 100. Percent, But now I have to
• 20:09
  rewatch it because I don't I don't remember the the yeah,
• 20:13
  anti the homosexual anti homosexuality, if you will.
• 20:18
  I mean, you know, who know, it's probably not like it's probably
• 20:21
  just there, you know? Jar Jar was probably watching
• 20:23
  some bootleg cut and he didn't even realize it.
• 20:27
  It was. Yeah, it was.
• 20:28
  It was Serbian Auld Schwarzenegger.
• 20:33
  I I also. The Turning Point USA version.
• 20:37
  As a public service announcement, I also do want to
• 20:40
  remind everybody who may be a fan of that movie and knows the
• 20:46
  the quotes from it that sometimes it is a tumor and make
• 20:50
  sure early detection. Should get that checked out, so
• 20:53
  go. Get that shit checked out.
• 20:56
  It's not a tumor. So having problems seeing.
• 21:01
  Having problems seeing, feeling numb?
• 21:03
  Get that shit checked out. Like fucking serious like so to
• 21:08
  bring it to bring. It to bring this back, to bring
• 21:10
  this back to Star Citizen before we bring our next guest.
• 21:13
  My last question is, is if this were a Halloween episode and
• 21:16
  they did have Arnold Schwarzenegger for the, for the
• 21:19
  game, you know, they have like 4 days, they have a week of Arnold
• 21:22
  Schwarzenegger that they could put into Star Citizen.
• 21:25
  What role would Arnold Schwarzenegger play?
• 21:28
  Let's start with Cosmic Hobo. He'd play a villain, I'm I'm
• 21:34
  sure they'd put him in some over the top villain role.
• 21:39
  It would be some sort of like they need to break the 4th wall
• 21:44
  every now and then. I, I, I say this about every IP
• 21:49
  every now and then needs to have a 4th wall breaking satire show.
• 21:55
  Like for Star Trek they had Lower Decks which took way too
• 21:58
  long for something like that to come around.
• 22:01
  Stargate had their two or three episodes like the 200th episode.
• 22:04
  Like every. Every IP needs something to poke
• 22:09
  fun at themselves at some point or another, and I think Arnold
• 22:14
  would be a wonderful addition for something like that.
• 22:18
  OK, OK, OK. Lord Anubis, if they put Arnold
• 22:22
  Schwarzenegger in Star Citizen, what role would he play?
• 22:27
  Rowena Dooley Listen everybody, we have to fight as you know
• 22:33
  that they are coming in. Michael One, Watch out.
• 22:38
  Watch out. Seriously.
• 22:39
  Honestly. I wouldn't.
• 22:41
  I wouldn't hate that. And Duke?
• 22:43
  What role would Arnold Schwarzenegger play?
• 22:45
  I can't even say Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• 22:47
  Schwarzenegger, I heard you didn't know how to pronounce
• 22:51
  Schmidt either, so. Oh, glad, glad to see you were
• 22:55
  listening. Thank.
• 22:56
  You thank you for listening. To open Comms Radio.
• 22:58
  Yeah, you rudely hung up on that guy.
• 23:00
  Wow, that was weird. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't
• 23:04
  like, you know, politics. But the tan suit like that was
• 23:10
  the tan pant suit. That was just a line too far,
• 23:13
  obviously. Yeah, it was too far.
• 23:16
  That was I, I, I I can't abide that stuff.
• 23:19
  Duke Arnold Schwarzenegger. What's he?
• 23:21
  What's he wrote Play. Barista in on your nuttage.
• 23:27
  Yes. OK, there's a random like in one
• 23:30
  of those shops where you get the little avocado sandwiches.
• 23:33
  Yeah, avocado. He's just doing all sorts of
• 23:37
  voice lines and like desperately trying to interact with the
• 23:40
  players who are just going in and out, hey, come back, throw
• 23:46
  that bottle in the trash, you know, things like that.
• 23:49
  And with the way the audio propagation works, it's going to
• 23:51
  sound like he's right next to you every time, right in your
• 23:55
  ears like Gets. Back here.
• 23:57
  Yeah, exactly what are you doing?
• 24:01
  All right, y'all, we got a, we got a guess.
• 24:02
  We're going to roll on up here. Duke, you want to introduce this
• 24:05
  guy and ask him a fair question. All right, I'll ask what?

  You did it. You're doing.
• 24:30
  You're doing great, Duke. You're doing.

  Now you've even got your callers, you know, basically
• 27:24
  showcasing just the the worst qualities of, of, of you know,
• 27:30
  what's what's clearly your side of all of this, that you just
• 27:34
  unfairly, you know, give time. To we can do worse.

  This is This isn't the worst. We can feel the icing bias

  stripping in his brain in. Brain, this is Ian and Dorian

• 27:57
  Hold. On hold on Mr. Schmidt.
• 27:59
  I I want to Secretary Schmidt, I want to apologize for the
• 28:01
  riffraff, the rabble rousers in the.
• 28:03
  Unbelievable. This is However, this is
• 28:06
  Opencoms radio. We are a platform for free
• 28:09
  speech with. Overcome from an Icy and Dorian
• 28:13
  chill right now. And sometimes we oh it it is is.
• 28:16
  That another big at at the fact that I'm an alien.
• 28:20
  UAE is for citizens. Are your antennae tweaked?
• 28:26
  You know, I knew this was a Zeno threat, Bastion.
• 28:28
  I I knew it. I knew it.
• 28:29
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no you. Can't really hide this anymore.
• 28:33
  Oh, there's a Zeno thing right on the couch.
• 28:35
  I had no, I had no idea, no. No, no, no, wicked, wicked this
• 28:39
  is. This is absolutely ridiculous.
• 28:40
  This is absolutely ridiculous. I want.
• 28:43
  To know I I want to talk to you, Secretary Arson, about the
• 28:46
  issues of the. Blues can't be trusted.
• 28:48
  Who the frontier fighters have been in the the Stanton system?
• 28:53
  Skin power. They've been in the pyro system
• 28:57
  and according to the Frontier fighters, they are just looking
• 28:59
  for peace and and to live freely outside corporate control.
• 29:04
  Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
• 29:08
  Yeah, he's looking at somewhere just outside Washington, DC
• 29:11
  Yeah. So look, you know, you know, you
• 29:15
  want to sell this narrative about the freedom fighters, but
• 29:17
  we all know and the advocacy is clearly shown exactly what their
• 29:21
  operations are up to. And, you know, frankly, the fact
• 29:24
  that you're being a mouthpiece for this organization is just
• 29:27
  appalling and, you know, anti empire.
• 29:31
  So, you know, I mean, I've been on here for the longest time and
• 29:36
  it's just been nothing but attacks at, you know, this is
• 29:38
  clearly how you operate. And you know, I, I don't know if
• 29:44
  I don't know. If your.
• 29:45
  Broadcast license should still stay up because clearly this
• 29:49
  isn't a news organization. You should reclassify yourself.
• 29:52
  I'm going to have someone look into that.
• 29:54
  Oh, what's that? Oh, I'm sorry, Secretary
• 29:56
  Schmidt. Well, we've lost you, Secretary
• 29:58
  Schmidt. I'm so sorry that.
• 30:00
  Kind of sounds familiar. That guy sounds familiar.
• 30:04
  Secretary Schmidt. Yeah.
• 30:05
  Well, yeah. Well, never mind.
• 30:10
  Something about his voice. Yeah, something about aliens and
• 30:13
  he's you. Know alien invasion?
• 30:17
  Listen, the open comes radio is open to all, no matter how many
• 30:20
  antennae, legs, arms or eyes. Real talk though.
• 30:23
  Real talk, pink skins and brown skins need to stick together.
• 30:28
  Look, Real talk though, blue skins.
• 30:30
  So how, how do you how are you guys surprised with these
• 30:33
  frontier fighters? I'm surprised they're not
• 30:36
  winning. That they got eroded into being
• 30:39
  the bad guys. Yeah, well, because I get Zeno
• 30:42
  threats. Why the bad guys?
• 30:43
  Like that makes a lot of sense. But the whole Frontier fighters,
• 30:46
  we work for them and then it's like, Oh no, it they're the bad
• 30:50
  guys. They were always obviously the
• 30:52
  bad guys. It was super.
• 30:54
  Not now. Now they're the good guys again.
• 30:56
  Nah. Yeah, apparently they're the
• 30:58
  good guys. Have you have you read the the
• 31:01
  tablets? Everybody here read the tablets.
• 31:05
  Corporate news the The 10 commandments or wait which?
• 31:09
  No, no, no, no, no, which not. The clay ones.
• 31:13
  Are those the only tablets you've ever read?
• 31:15
  When you when you do the the missions for see how the
• 31:19
  headhunters you have to go and get pick up tablets and if they
• 31:22
  if they're there and if they spawn, you can read them and
• 31:25
  there's like emails on them. And some of them are from,
• 31:29
  what's her name the the Asian. The only one I ever found was a
• 31:32
  grocery list. Really.
• 31:37
  Yeah. No, dude, I got some tablets and
• 31:40
  there's some emails and they're like, why?
• 31:42
  Like, it's kind of like. The biggest?
• 31:45
  Head on the grocery list I found was Cruz Lux.
• 31:50
  Wiki You've become basically like a tabloid.
• 31:57
  In in human form, in vaguely human.
• 31:59
  You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 32:01
  You, you come in here. You, you slander our guest.
• 32:05
  I don't know if first of all. He did that to.
• 32:08
  Say somebody was slandering, I said allegedly, first of all,
• 32:12
  secondly, secondly, secondly, I've not been proven wrong.
• 32:19
  Yeah. You know the Cruise Lux tablet?
• 32:21
  About the about that damn Andorian.
• 32:25
  Look wicked, you know, I mean, I heard, I heard your conversation
• 32:28
  with that guy and yeah, he was being a little ridiculous, but I
• 32:31
  don't think it's fair to just malign him because he's an
• 32:35
  alien. Well, he took blue blood to the
• 32:38
  NTH. And I mean, that's his biology.
• 32:41
  I mean, it's literally just blue because it processes oxygen in a
• 32:45
  different way. Yeah, we we can't support the
• 32:49
  Zeno attacks that we're we're currently hearing on the couch.
• 32:53
  The thing is, is frontier fighters, they're not even
• 32:55
  aliens. They're just like people, yeah.
• 32:57
  They are, and they're bad guys. This is what we're going to
• 32:59
  explain to me how they're not bad.
• 33:01
  Wait a minute. The the last thing I heard was
• 33:03
  that their whole shtick was we're going to go into Pyro and
• 33:07
  we're going to kill everyone. A couple of months ago I got
• 33:11
  hired by a couple of these freedom fighters.
• 33:13
  I did a couple of jobs for them and they gave me some sick
• 33:16
  looking paints for one of my spaceships.
• 33:19
  It was awesome. They were good guys.
• 33:21
  They paid on time. The check didn't bounce.
• 33:24
  It was great. But what were the missions?
• 33:26
  What were you doing? Were you killing people or were
• 33:27
  you all on cargo? What?
• 33:29
  Were you delivering food and medicine or?
• 33:32
  Need to know basis. I can't rule, I can't confirm.
• 33:34
  We're so he was murdering people.
• 33:35
  So so again, tell me about these tablets.
• 33:37
  What is? What is this about them being
• 33:39
  good now? I forget her name.
• 33:45
  The leader of the Freedom. Finders.
• 33:46
  Amelia Boy. Amelia boy, when you pick up the
• 33:49
  tablet, there's emails from Amelia and it's all just about
• 33:53
  like she says, like we want to live in peace, like why?
• 33:56
  And then when you finish the missions, if you do ACFP
• 33:59
  mission, I did, I did the the phase 21 where you destroy the
• 34:04
  health canisters. There's like these meta gel
• 34:07
  tanks, whatever. You basically go into a bunker,
• 34:09
  you shoot the meta gel tanks and then you get like it's kind of
• 34:14
  weird because you get the congratulations message from
• 34:16
  CFP, but then you get like a message from Amelia Boyd, which
• 34:20
  was like a little shocking. She's like, how could you do
• 34:23
  that? We're just trying to live free,
• 34:25
  blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Those were.
• 34:27
  Good people you killed. Those were good people you
• 34:30
  killed. Confirming he's had contact with
• 34:32
  her. He's had contact with her.
• 34:34
  Move in, move in. The fuck?
• 34:36
  Oh shit. Ladies and gentlemen, we got
• 34:38
  him. So wait, so you're, you're only
• 34:43
  proof that they're the good guys as her being like we're the
• 34:46
  we're the good guys. Also but like who am I fighting
• 34:52
  for? I'm fighting for headhunters
• 34:55
  which don't they eat people. No, no, I mean, I mean, I, I
• 35:02
  always got the impression that the freedom fighters were
• 35:06
  violent fanatics. I mean, their whole thing was
• 35:08
  they were going to go and clear out pyro, they were going to
• 35:11
  kill everybody. So what's you know?
• 35:17
  I'm just saying, where's the beef?
• 35:20
  There's no beef. There's no cows.
• 35:21
  Where do you think they're getting the meat from for those
• 35:23
  hot dogs? Everybody is eating everybody.
• 35:26
  You're my headhunters. They're giant rats just like
• 35:28
  today, man. That's disgusting.
• 35:30
  OK, so you either have at the very least Rat Munchers, which.
• 35:34
  Is lab grown beef man Come on, it's 20. 95 Munchers 9.
• 35:39
  Lab or lab grown beef, OK. And then CFP is just a
• 35:45
  greenwashed Hearston, right? It's like like the OK they're
• 35:50
  doing like charity with, Yeah, that's, that's, but that's the,
• 35:53
  the real life dilemma, you know? It's all that 67 beef 6767.
• 36:00
  I'm not buying it. I'll, I'll be, I'll be proven
• 36:02
  wrong eventually, but so far I'm not buying the are the good
• 36:09
  guys, Yeah. Anyway, when when I got in here
• 36:13
  earlier, somebody said there was a question I never got.
• 36:17
  Oh, all right. Duke.
• 36:19
  You, Duke. Don't Duke me don't Duke wicked
• 36:24
  insisted on talking his his anti anti blue nonsense.
• 36:31
  I said that and then we got dragged in when you know
• 36:34
  secretary secretary butt kisser came back in black yeah black
• 36:39
  hole or something let's move move down the couch.
• 36:41
  All right, so wicked the. Question is question.
• 36:44
  Question. How do you not get to his
• 36:46
  question? Hey, by the way, Unbelievable.
• 36:47
  What kind of host? Is it?
• 36:49
  The question is what are your What is the scariest thing that
• 36:53
  CIG could engineer? And then there's a secondary
• 36:56
  question about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• 36:58
  I know this is not in no way going to be controversial one
• 37:01
  way or another, but I think the scariest thing that CIG could do
• 37:05
  is release Star Citizen. That'd be the scariest thing.
• 37:09
  Interesting. The reason being it's so scary
• 37:13
  is because then no more excuses. Now we're going to have to live
• 37:17
  with whatever they gave us. And hopefully they they're
• 37:21
  really quick at iteration, unlike development, which if the
• 37:27
  development length is any, any indication of how long things
• 37:31
  will take to fix, that's even maybe even more scary.
• 37:34
  But I think that's that would be my scary thing release.
• 37:41
  OK. Yeah, go for it.
• 37:44
  What? What would you do if Star
• 37:48
  Citizen was released? And it's not.
• 37:52
  It's not what you wanted. Probably not much because that's
• 38:00
  kind of what I'm doing now. Still play the thing, still hope
• 38:05
  for the best. So right now the game is not
• 38:09
  what you want. Would you say is it already
• 38:12
  moving in a direction that you don't want like you were like
• 38:14
  this project? Well, I mean, it's hard to,
• 38:18
  it's, it's hard to say because anytime you, you have any kind
• 38:23
  of critical response to any changes or, or development
• 38:29
  direction, the, the, the canned response from a lot of people
• 38:33
  is, well, it's in development. You know, it's, it's under
• 38:36
  development, it's being, it's still in the process.
• 38:40
  It's not finally. Yet it's an alpha, exactly.
• 38:46
  You get all the well, actually, you know.
• 38:50
  Well, I. Understand, you get all that.
• 38:53
  So it's hard to say. It's a lot of times it's hard to
• 38:57
  have a conversation about things like this because, you know, I
• 39:02
  want to be critical, but I also want to be fair.
• 39:06
  And I want to be not not only critical and fair, but I, I like
• 39:10
  to offer constructive criticism, you know, and, and my
• 39:13
  constructive criticism may not, may fall on deaf ears.
• 39:17
  It may, it may be thought of as not constructive, but you know,
• 39:23
  everyone has everyone who's who's backed the game and
• 39:26
  everyone who plays the game, which in order to back the game,
• 39:30
  unless it's free week, everyone who plays the game has backed
• 39:36
  the game unless it's free week. So, you know, everyone who's
• 39:39
  backed should have the, should be afforded the opportunity to
• 39:43
  put in their two cents because you know, the, the bill of sale
• 39:46
  was, oh, we're developing this with you guys.
• 39:49
  We're it's open development. You're seeing all the warts,
• 39:51
  you're seeing everything happen. And then, you know, it seems
• 39:54
  like a lot of times criticism, whether it's constructive or not
• 39:59
  constructive, is constantly shot down and.
• 40:04
  You want to see I I want to see, see a, a challenging, harsh
• 40:09
  reality of the universe. You know, it's a lot of times it
• 40:13
  seems like the care Bears in the world have a very loud voice in,
• 40:20
  in the that is heard throughout the community anytime something
• 40:23
  is harsh or demanding or could possibly be seen as counter
• 40:30
  player or something like that. Yes, immediately squashed and
• 40:35
  it, Oh, we don't want that. That's not fun.
• 40:37
  You know, well, like I've, I've said it, a lot of times we need
• 40:41
  to have a play space that kind of suits different play styles
• 40:45
  and kind of if, if you, if you're going to be the, the
• 40:48
  soft, cuddly care bear guy that you know, Oh, I'm a I'm a space
• 40:51
  dad. I just got home.
• 40:53
  I just want to go out and mine in peace.
• 40:55
  You know, there's going to be areas for you, but for the
• 40:57
  people that want to that put in that engage with high risk, high
• 41:02
  reward activities, they're going to have their play spaces too.
• 41:05
  And sometimes there may be some convergence of both of those
• 41:08
  spaces and people will have to learn to deal with that.
• 41:12
  But you know, if you're a lot of times people say, oh, I want all
• 41:16
  these these systems and and components in a space game
• 41:20
  that's realistic. Well, in a realistic space
• 41:24
  environment, there's going to be people trying to shoot you in
• 41:26
  the face any chance they get. You know what, we got a comment,
• 41:32
  our first comment on Spotify kind of related to what you're
• 41:35
  talking about right now. Oh, really?
• 41:36
  Because we. Yeah, and you and all of us, we
• 41:40
  were talking last episode about crime stats and punishments.
• 41:44
  Yeah, if you recall and so our first our first ever comment on
• 41:48
  Spotify, if you listen on Spotify, you can totally
• 41:50
  comment. Learn that today Elko Feder,
• 41:56
  Elko Feder commented. So what you want is that when
• 42:00
  you catch a crime stat because of another stupid accident or a
• 42:03
  bug, you will be definitely stuck in jail for hours without
• 42:08
  the chance to escape or loot your way out of there.
• 42:11
  No thanks. So this is kind of talking about
• 42:14
  punishment and kind of what you're talking about here about,
• 42:18
  you know, hardcore gaming versus like relaxed chilling.
• 42:22
  Out gaming, that's true, but then you know, you have to
• 42:24
  obviously you have to weigh the balance because you know, that's
• 42:27
  that's always the argument again.
• 42:29
  Oh, we're in development where there's bugs, of course there's
• 42:32
  bugs. And guess what, sometimes the
• 42:36
  bugs are going to put you in jail because that, that needs to
• 42:40
  be fixed. I think I, I think the, the days
• 42:44
  of just ignoring everything and saying, oh, it's, we're in
• 42:47
  alpha, we're being developed. I think those bugs that caused
• 42:51
  something like a crime stat that put you in jail for hours and
• 42:54
  hours on end, I think that needs to be fixed.
• 42:57
  You know what happened? We're in the year of stability,
• 43:00
  quote UN quote, double Bunny ears.
• 43:05
  I think that should have been a high priority.
• 43:07
  If you're going to do stuff like that and, and you know it, it's
• 43:10
  always, Oh well, you're putting the cart before the horse or
• 43:13
  you're putting the cart 5 miles behind the horse.
• 43:16
  Look at the, the horse and the cart will never meet again.
• 43:18
  I don't, I don't know what the saying is, but you get what I'm
• 43:21
  saying. So.
• 43:23
  Wait, is there a boat right now where you end up in jail for no
• 43:25
  reason? Yeah, you're late for work
• 43:29
  because your cart left before the horse did and somehow
• 43:32
  there's a time space warp. You burn the bridge along the
• 43:35
  way. You shot the bullet and somebody
• 43:37
  stepped in front of the bullet. And.
• 43:40
  But you never even meant to shoot him, and now you're in
• 43:42
  jail. I, I mean, I mean, to, to, to
• 43:45
  the commenters, you know, point, you know, yeah, you can, you can
• 43:51
  mess up. And to quote Captain Mccarter,
• 43:54
  it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
• 43:58
  That is not failure. That is life, and that's exactly
• 44:01
  what this is. You know, this game, you bump
• 44:05
  into something just like in real life, if you're negligent, if
• 44:07
  you flew the wrong way, if you hit the gas the wrong way,
• 44:11
  sometimes you get thrown in jail for a couple hours.
• 44:13
  It's just how it is. So it's immersion.
• 44:16
  Or sometimes you do nothing wrong at all, like you said.
• 44:18
  I'll give you a perfect example. Yesterday I'm playing the the
• 44:21
  game We're we're you know, we're all doing the stupid missions,
• 44:24
  the to to to catch our Rep so we can get through stage 2.
• 44:28
  Was it that we did yesterday Hobo?
• 44:30
  Yeah, and. You know, we're all split apart,
• 44:34
  sharing the mission so everybody can get through this nonsense
• 44:37
  and get their skins or their shirt or their T-shirt, their.
• 44:40
  Pants or whatever. I got a comment about that.
• 44:43
  Go ahead. In any event, we're doing all
• 44:45
  that stuff right? And I got on a mission and I got
• 44:49
  killed in that mission three times in a row because my ship
• 44:52
  just stopped. It just stopped moving, stopped
• 44:55
  working. Some weird bug.
• 44:59
  OK, it sucked I had to go. It literally took me 3 trips
• 45:04
  back to Everest, three trip trips out of the respawn area,
• 45:09
  respawn my ship, go back out there.
• 45:10
  And this shit happened three times in a row.
• 45:13
  Or was it twice in a row? The third time I finally killed
• 45:15
  him. First of all, I was, I was so
• 45:19
  grateful that the mission just didn't despawn.
• 45:22
  And then even on top of all that, what took so long was
• 45:26
  after you left the mission area, it didn't give you a quantum
• 45:29
  marker to quantum back to the asteroid field where you're
• 45:33
  supposed to wait for the, you know, ambush the dude.
• 45:36
  So I had to fucking slow boat 300 miles to get to the thing.
• 45:42
  I mean, but I did it. I just wanted to finish it, you
• 45:45
  know, I felt like it was a challenge the same way with that
• 45:48
  guy getting locked up for accidentally shooting somebody
• 45:51
  in the face, you know, I think, I don't know.
• 45:55
  I think I think a lot of. Times nowadays.
• 46:00
  I think, I think you know, a lot of games nowadays, you go to
• 46:05
  play the game, you look up the guides on, on, on, on the
• 46:10
  Internet. You there's somebody has made a
• 46:12
  wiki for everything. The the.
• 46:16
  Wiki, somebody has come up with a guide how to do this or that.
• 46:21
  There's six or seven different content creators showing you how
• 46:25
  to do everything in the game. It seems almost
• 46:28
  counterintuitive. It's like some, it's not like
• 46:31
  we're not playing the games anymore.
• 46:33
  We're playing, you know, follow the dotted line, you know, paint
• 46:37
  by numbers, almost. Right, right.
• 46:39
  It's the Skyrim Skyrim compass marker.
• 46:42
  Yeah, it's, it's, you know, how many, how many different ways is
• 46:46
  there to, to finish this procedure?
• 46:48
  You know, it's just like this mission we're doing.
• 46:50
  It's, it's almost dumb. But then nobody, you know, it's,
• 46:53
  it's also so easy that it's like stupid not to do it.
• 46:56
  So you can get your T-shirt that you said, oh, I was there and I
• 46:59
  got my T-shirt. But I think a lot of that is, I
• 47:05
  don't know. I don't know what the answer is.
• 47:07
  Because if there's a guide to look up, everybody's going to
• 47:09
  look up the guide because you're going to be right.
• 47:11
  You want to be. I never do.
• 47:13
  I never looked up the guide. Yeah.
• 47:15
  I mean, I I'm being, I'm being serious.
• 47:17
  I'm not being. Yeah, but that guy.
• 47:18
  And you think that's? Because.
• 47:20
  You have everyone else showing you the.
• 47:22
  Ropes No, no, not even that no, and to my point, what I was
• 47:25
  going to say before, and this isn't this isn't just about you
• 47:28
  wicked just people in general. I, I always get annoyed with
• 47:33
  people who turn a game into a job and they're like grinding
• 47:38
  for things and they're, they're complaining about the grind and
• 47:41
  this and that. And I was like, well, what are
• 47:44
  you doing? You know, like, I'll go and do
• 47:47
  some missions and I'll grind them if I'm enjoying the
• 47:49
  process, even if it's got something really cool.
• 47:53
  I mean, I did the, what was the resource drive?
• 47:57
  I did the resource drive right Because I did really want the.
• 48:01
  That's my favorite mission. Of of but.
• 48:06
  I, I enjoyed it. Like some people were like
• 48:08
  complaining about it constantly. Like I've spent hours doing
• 48:11
  this. I don't even like, you know,
• 48:13
  cargo and there's all these bugs and I'm like, I don't know,
• 48:16
  like, you know, I just showed up.
• 48:18
  I would do like, you know, one or two a night, you know, this
• 48:20
  and that. And I enjoyed it.
• 48:23
  But I just I just think I it fascinates me and I this isn't
• 48:27
  like a it's not just a Star Citizen thing.
• 48:30
  People do this with all games nowadays.
• 48:32
  I feel like that's especially with Mmos, there's this drive to
• 48:37
  grind right? And I think a lot of what's been
• 48:41
  delivered this year from CIG is sort of just feeding into that.
• 48:44
  You know, it's these quote UN quote content drops and I'll ask
• 48:49
  organ mate. Sometimes I'm like, oh, like,
• 48:51
  you know, you're, you're going and and doing that mission
• 48:53
  again, like what's what's the point?
• 48:55
  Like, why do you do it again? Does something else open up?
• 48:58
  And they're like, no, no, you just, you know, you keep
• 49:00
  grinding it so that you get, you know, I gotta build.
• 49:02
  The bar you gotta fill the bucket.
• 49:04
  Yeah, and I'm like fuck why? And I, I'm a person.
• 49:08
  I mean, I'll grind. I've spent thousands of hours in
• 49:12
  in Ark fucking chopping at trees just to build a cool base with
• 49:17
  my friends or, you know, to go and tame an animal or something.
• 49:22
  And that's what I look forward to to doing in Star students in
• 49:24
  as well. Like I'll, I'll be out there
• 49:26
  mining, I don't know, iron deposits so that we have the OR
• 49:29
  to build a base. I'll do that, but I don't get
• 49:34
  the masochism of putting of putting yourself through
• 49:41
  something you don't enjoy for hours on end just to get the
• 49:47
  T-shirt like you said. Well, if you're not enjoying the
• 49:50
  grind, don't do the grind. That's that's my, that's my
• 49:52
  saying. Well this this recent one wasn't
• 49:55
  bad, it was just mind numbing like, you know, doing.
• 49:58
  These. That's bad.
• 49:59
  Mind numbing is bad. But it's that was so easy and it
• 50:02
  took so little time that it was almost like a no brainer not to
• 50:06
  do it, especially the way we did it.
• 50:09
  But about. Grinding.
• 50:10
  Thanks for the invite. I'm.
• 50:12
  I've never never shield away from grinding.
• 50:15
  I'm, I've been grinding in Mmos, you know, 25 plus years.
• 50:23
  The what was the mission? Anubis, I think you and I, we
• 50:26
  shared some of this, the, the, the resources when we were doing
• 50:29
  the ice and the tin. What was that one?
• 50:33
  And you had to turn it in for the big payouts.
• 50:36
  I think that was one of the the early resource drives.
• 50:40
  Resource one of the early resource drives where you had,
• 50:43
  you know, you have to get those different, you had to bring, you
• 50:46
  had to, they had that one mission where you could make
• 50:49
  like 26,000,000 at a pop. And at first you could just buy
• 50:54
  it like Empire and, and you can buy a lot of it and in one area
• 50:57
  and move it to another. And then all of a sudden those
• 51:00
  resources dried up. And then it became a way of,
• 51:02
  well, yeah, you can still there. You can sit there and try to
• 51:06
  get, you know, snag a couple of pieces here or there, but
• 51:08
  there's like 50 people queued up in a line in front of the, in
• 51:11
  front of the, the, the resource terminals.
• 51:15
  So the way to get it was, oh, go mining, go mine the tin.
• 51:19
  Go mine. What was the other one?
• 51:20
  Corundum, I think it was, yeah. Corundum pressurized ice.
• 51:25
  Pressurized ice, you know, and like, I don't know about you,
• 51:30
  but I figured out where to find that stuff and where to eat, how
• 51:34
  to easily track it down. It took time it you had to
• 51:38
  actually go out in your ship, find the resources and mine,
• 51:42
  mine the resources. Then you had to take make get
• 51:46
  those resources back to the station.
• 51:48
  You had to refine the resources. Then once you had enough of it,
• 51:54
  then you had. To move it to where?
• 51:55
  You needed to be and turn in the mission.
• 51:58
  But guess what? I'm still reaping the rewards
• 52:00
  from that. Because when that was all said
• 52:03
  and done, I had over $220 million in my star system Kitty,
• 52:09
  you know? Yeah, there's nothing to play
• 52:11
  for anymore. Sometimes it's just about to go
• 52:14
  on a ride and that's it. And it's pretty souvenir.
• 52:17
  I disagree so much with the ride thing.
• 52:20
  It's just. When you're.
• 52:22
  Spending time with org mates? You're not I.
• 52:26
  I don't feel like I'm just on a ride.
• 52:29
  I'm spending time with people I'm want to spend time with.
• 52:33
  Well, but you're the most. Thing we're enjoying well.
• 52:35
  You're all going on the ride. It's awesome.
• 52:37
  The most satisfying parts of doing the stuff with org mates
• 52:40
  and with Guild mates is when, especially when there's somebody
• 52:44
  new along or someone that's not as experienced and you're able
• 52:48
  to show them the ropes, like, yeah, somebody that's new to the
• 52:51
  game and like, oh, they want to experience mining.
• 52:55
  Well, how do you do mining? And it's like, well, there's
• 52:57
  several different types. We're going to let's try doing
• 52:59
  the ship mining. I have a ship port and you know,
• 53:02
  I'll show you how to do it and you know, there's a risk to it
• 53:05
  and you know, there's a reward if you do it properly.
• 53:08
  And you know, that's awesome. I love doing that.
• 53:10
  And there's no big giant reward from that, except for the fact
• 53:13
  that you're helped some dude learn something in a game that
• 53:17
  otherwise he may have struggled to do.
• 53:22
  And the war was. Told him to get good and kicked.
• 53:26
  Him in the face. That sounds like Angorian.
• 53:31
  You know, I, I heard how you were talking to Schmidt, you
• 53:36
  know? And is that really an Andorian
• 53:38
  name? Schmidt why?
• 53:43
  You know, you know, I mean like there's like Andorian cities on
• 53:48
  like like like a tire like Andorian populations over in
• 53:53
  Antarctica. They all live there, you know,
• 53:56
  it's. Pretty real estate.
• 53:58
  But it's not an Andorian name. It's a human name.
• 54:01
  No, it's a human name that the Andorians adopted.
• 54:04
  Yeah, they just, they love their pink skins.
• 54:06
  I want to make an. Announcement now all.
• 54:10
  Right. I want to make an announcement
• 54:11
  before we bring up our next guest and I want to apologize to
• 54:13
  listeners. We often will go between Star
• 54:16
  Trek and Star Citizen, like in this episode quite often.
• 54:20
  If you don't know, the Andorians are a Star Trek alien species
• 54:24
  that Lord Anubis is. A member of.
• 54:29
  Obsessed. With Yeah.
• 54:31
  I, I kind of make my living doing this shit.
• 54:34
  So it's, it, it does sound geeky, but I actually make money
• 54:36
  doing it. So it's like, you know.
• 54:38
  Well, if you're throwing a party and you need an Andorian, write
• 54:41
  it down to the comments. We'll we'll reach out to you.
• 54:43
  We'll send a Lord Anubis your way.
• 54:45
  Lord Anubis, you'll travel. Half off of it stripping.
• 54:49
  There you go, he'll. Travel Andorian firefighters
• 54:51
  coming your way. About a blue paint.
• 54:55
  Not a lot of fires on Andoria. All right, I'm going to bring up
• 55:02
  his next guest, right for the end of the show here, we're
• 55:05
  going to bring up Broccoli Rob. You know him.
• 55:08
  Broccoli Rob. Welcome to Open Comms Radio,
• 55:12
  your Star Citizen Collins show. This week's question is what's
• 55:15
  the scariest thing CIG could engineer and Star Citizen?
• 55:20
  How's it going y'all? Happy to call in to open comms.
• 55:23
  My favorite Star Trek podcast. Thank you.
• 55:26
  Thank. You, thank you.
• 55:27
  Welcome. Live long and prosper.
• 55:30
  The scariest thing they can engineer.
• 55:36
  I don't know, I guess engineer a way to make multi crew not worth
• 55:42
  it which is what I'm a little bit worried about.
• 55:45
  That would be pretty scary. I think that was the moment we
• 55:49
  we talk about this, we talk about this.
• 55:53
  Have you? Have you played it?
• 55:55
  Broccoli. No.
• 55:57
  No, I'm not part of it. I am not.
• 56:00
  What? I know for certain I surprise
• 56:04
  you are. Well, it's.
• 56:06
  Crazy. Somebody's an evil.
• 56:07
  They're not allowed to talk about it, aren't they?
• 56:09
  Are they? A lot of talk about it, not a
• 56:11
  lot of stream. Yeah.
• 56:12
  Oh, you're allowed to talk, but not show.
• 56:14
  Show it. Yeah.
• 56:15
  Yeah. Well, what are we seeing
• 56:20
  regarding this broccoli, Rob? So it's early in, so a lot of
• 56:27
  the tuning isn't there, but it seems like it's still a lot of
• 56:30
  the same problems. Like engineering doesn't really
• 56:35
  make it more beneficial to have a larger ship yet, and I think
• 56:40
  that's partly because armor isn't in.
• 56:46
  They also just need to increase bullet speeds for all turrets.
• 56:50
  Yeah, that would do it. I think a lot of it has to.
• 56:54
  I think the only real benefit will benefit and in the sense
• 56:59
  that it's a good thing for having multi crew is the doing a
• 57:04
  way of full death and everything being soft death now or mostly
• 57:09
  everything being soft death. You can still full death your
• 57:11
  ship if you die the right way I guess, but.
• 57:17
  Does that apply to vehicles? Like if I take a PTV out or
• 57:20
  whatever? An STV out.
• 57:22
  I don't know, probably. That's very.
• 57:26
  Interesting. Engineering is supposed to be
• 57:28
  for everything with components then Yeah, it'll include
• 57:32
  vehicles. They'll work probably a lot like
• 57:34
  single seaters though. So the scorpion will get soft
• 57:39
  death before it gets before you die inside of it.
• 57:43
  Yeah, generally that's the idea. Now is that components, the
• 57:47
  thing that will break is components.
• 57:51
  When your components break, when enough of them break, and I
• 57:54
  don't know the exact calculus of how this works, is when enough
• 57:58
  of them break, your ship quote dies.
• 58:01
  It's soft deaths like soft death would be the the norm now
• 58:05
  instead of kabooming all the time.
• 58:08
  Right. You will still kaboom if your
• 58:13
  power plant goes critical, but that's I think that's one of
• 58:18
  those things that needs tweaking and some more features before
• 58:21
  that becomes the before. We know what that means I guess
• 58:27
  isn't the way to put it like we understand how soft death works.
• 58:32
  We don't right now understand exactly how full death works.
• 58:35
  Because full death in the game as it stands is your HP hits a
• 58:40
  certain amount and you go either big boom which is like savingly
• 58:44
  75% of the time or you the other 25% of the time you just solve
• 58:49
  death, which I don't like that dichotomy.
• 58:51
  I need to know what makes me die I guess.
• 58:57
  Don't you take that out of context?
• 58:59
  But. If I starve myself, I die.
• 59:04
  Die if I if I don't drink enough water.
• 59:06
  Or do I just? Pass out, you die, you get in
• 59:10
  capped and your timer goes down like that snap.
• 59:14
  That snap down probably didn't make it through.
• 59:17
  Right. I mean, that seems logical and
• 59:20
  fair. Then a lot of times you'll get
• 59:22
  shot and you'll have like a tier 3 or Tier 2 or something and
• 59:27
  then you get in capped and you're revive timers an hour and
• 59:32
  2030 minutes. You know?
• 59:35
  What's the calculus behind that? I've never understood what
• 59:38
  causes that to happen as opposed to just full deathing and
• 59:42
  waiting for the spawn cycle to happen.
• 59:45
  There's I want to give you. A damage, yeah.
• 59:48
  I think it's like in real life, so you have injured badly
• 59:51
  enough, people tend to pass out, so you're.
• 59:54
  Everything. You're bleeding out.
• 59:57
  You're, you know. Right.
• 59:59
  So I put I put some thought into this.
• 1:00:03
  Well, hold on. So 'cause that that guy had the
• 1:00:06
  comment of like, I don't want to be just like stuck in jail for
• 1:00:09
  hours. So this is this is my idea What
• 1:00:11
  you. Think leaves one comment.
• 1:00:13
  Now he's getting mocked constantly if.
• 1:00:15
  You're if you're. All open.
• 1:00:19
  Cons Radio. I'm not, I'm not mocking them.
• 1:00:22
  I'm not mocking them. Yeah, you, you're mocking them.
• 1:00:24
  We're all mocking them. Everybody goes like this Donald
• 1:00:27
  Trump voice, you know. We're shock radio now, buddy.
• 1:00:31
  That's just. I don't want to end up in
• 1:00:33
  prison, you know? No, you know, you, you're.
• 1:00:36
  An F off, yeah. He was wrong.
• 1:00:40
  He was dead wrong. OK, so you, you, you get knocked
• 1:00:44
  out or a soft death or even in prison, right?
• 1:00:47
  And you have like served the time all those like arcade games
• 1:00:52
  and stuff. Let me kill the time with the
• 1:00:55
  arcade. Game.
• 1:00:56
  Oh, that'd be cool if they had that in prison, yeah.
• 1:00:59
  You know we have arcade. Games in prison It's over the.
• 1:01:02
  Animation, right? Do you, do you get the do you
• 1:01:05
  get the idea of prison how, how it's supposed to work?
• 1:01:10
  Yeah, but you know what I mean. Like we there should be an
• 1:01:14
  alternative. Like you can play arena
• 1:01:16
  commander while you're in prison, you could play arcade
• 1:01:18
  games, you could do whatever, economy stuff from whatever,
• 1:01:22
  like management stuff you need to do you could still do.
• 1:01:27
  I think the prison should be way harsher like.
• 1:01:29
  You could be stuck in there for a month.
• 1:01:32
  You could be stuck in prison for a month for doing some kind of
• 1:01:36
  horrific crime. Now, obviously you can't do that
• 1:01:39
  now because we're in alpha double Bunny ears.
• 1:01:43
  But, you know, once it's released, I think there should
• 1:01:46
  be crimes that yes, you're going to be in prison a long freaking
• 1:01:51
  time and. I absolutely agree that we need
• 1:01:53
  a high SEC prison of some kind. And then on top of and on top of
• 1:01:57
  all that, you still will have the opportunity to maybe escape,
• 1:02:01
  but escaping will be horrendously hard.
• 1:02:05
  And not only that, if you're caught getting escaped, you'll
• 1:02:07
  add to your prison sentence. I say.
• 1:02:10
  They respond me with one less leg.
• 1:02:14
  They just chop a leg off. Yep, just every time you try to
• 1:02:17
  escape one more limb. Hammurabi's prison.
• 1:02:21
  There's a lot of a lot of games that have have some kind of
• 1:02:24
  justice system where you're incarcerated somehow.
• 1:02:27
  They're a joke most of the time, in my mind anyway.
• 1:02:30
  It's it's, it's, it's nothing. It's like a slap on the wrist.
• 1:02:33
  Right. In actual punishment, you know,
• 1:02:38
  like maybe a month or two months long, but maybe several days.
• 1:02:43
  You know, actual time where every time you log in you're
• 1:02:48
  either breaking rocks. Lower your time or.
• 1:02:52
  Right. It's going to make you think
• 1:02:54
  twice about shooting that poor Care Bear space dad in the face
• 1:02:57
  who was just trying to break a rock after work and stamp.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah. Poor guy.
• 1:03:03
  Yeah, I. Feel like the way it's balanced
• 1:03:06
  right now, it's like perfect. I, I wouldn't want to punish
• 1:03:09
  people anymore. I mean, I, I don't as much as I
• 1:03:13
  want the game to be hardcore and it is.
• 1:03:15
  I mean maybe everyone in in this chat right now has been playing
• 1:03:19
  the game for quite a while and you might lose sight of this.
• 1:03:22
  But when you do help someone brand new to the game, it's
• 1:03:27
  complex. I mean this it's it's not a a
• 1:03:31
  total SIM obviously, but it's much closer to a SIM than it is
• 1:03:35
  to being something like Call of Duty.
• 1:03:38
  And then they're adding this engineering, which is going to
• 1:03:42
  add a lot more complexity to that.
• 1:03:45
  I, I don't I don't want to I don't want to make the, the the
• 1:03:50
  cost of entry to be higher than it already is.
• 1:03:54
  I feel like that's just going to lead to needlessly reducing the
• 1:03:59
  population of the game, the potential players, and that that
• 1:04:02
  is just going to hurt the project.
• 1:04:04
  I disagree. Total.
• 1:04:06
  But you, you can that's that's a great thing.
• 1:04:09
  Hear hear me out though. The beauty of the game so far is
• 1:04:13
  the complexity. Remember now we we don't have a
• 1:04:17
  skill based system. We don't get XP, we learn how to
• 1:04:22
  fly our ships better or not and get killed a lot.
• 1:04:25
  We learn how to mine or not and you know, waste a lot of.
• 1:04:29
  Time. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that
• 1:04:31
  it should be increased from what it currently is, is what I'm
• 1:04:34
  saying. I mean, the great thing about
• 1:04:36
  coffee is the caffeine. You, you said it yourself, If
• 1:04:39
  you drank a cup of pure caffeine, you're going to die.
• 1:04:42
  You said it yourself earlier. You said it yourself earlier.
• 1:04:46
  You don't need to go in and and do it all at once.
• 1:04:49
  You know there's some grinding to do, there's some learning to
• 1:04:52
  do you don't have. To be a.
• 1:04:54
  One and be perfect at the game. It's going to even even on the
• 1:04:59
  like, even World of Warcraft, something that's so on rails,
• 1:05:02
  you still have to learn stuff. And that's what I said is I, I
• 1:05:06
  think it's good the way it is with this complexity with, with
• 1:05:09
  the balance with prison and stuff.
• 1:05:10
  I would not want them to make that any easier.
• 1:05:13
  It should be harder, especially once we have a high SEC, you
• 1:05:16
  know, high security zone. But I don't want to see people,
• 1:05:20
  you know, some Joe Schmo schmuck who you know, he does shoot
• 1:05:24
  another player because it's it's a fucking video game, right?
• 1:05:27
  And the next thing you know, he he's in prison for a month.
• 1:05:31
  It's just that's just going to be an instant refund that.
• 1:05:34
  Was one of our that was. One of our maybe they put him on
• 1:05:37
  a chain gang first first offense.
• 1:05:40
  You, you, you know, you know that that's a ridiculous idea.
• 1:05:44
  Well, maybe maybe it is, but you know, maybe that's over the top.
• 1:05:48
  But maybe what if? What if you know you worked your
• 1:05:51
  way up to you being a murder hobo?
• 1:05:53
  No offense, hobo. I'm used to it.
• 1:05:57
  You're a murder hobo that constantly shoots people.
• 1:06:00
  The first time you shoot somebody, it's like a day or
• 1:06:02
  two. The next time you shoot somebody
• 1:06:04
  within a time frame, it just adds up.
• 1:06:07
  And then you know what, once once you have a cool down, you
• 1:06:10
  go back to the base of just one day.
• 1:06:13
  But if you're constantly murder hoboing everybody, eventually
• 1:06:16
  you, maybe you, you work your way up to that really long
• 1:06:19
  prison sentence, you know? That makes sense.
• 1:06:24
  I think that's like spot on, Wicked.
• 1:06:27
  Yeah, yeah. It's just like real life.
• 1:06:29
  I mean, you're, you know, you're, if you're someone
• 1:06:31
  walking around with, you know, 20 freaking murders on your
• 1:06:35
  record. Well, if it if it's like real
• 1:06:36
  life, then you you'd be like you'd, you'd have like 6 or 7
• 1:06:40
  felonies and slap on the wrist and they put you back on the
• 1:06:44
  street. Yeah, it depends how much.
• 1:06:46
  Money. You have felonies or something?
• 1:06:48
  No, it doesn't matter. If you can, hire Secretary
• 1:06:52
  Schmidt to represent you well. Then you go on today.
• 1:06:57
  Secretary, What's his name? Johnny Hancock.
• 1:07:00
  What's his name? Justin Schwitz, he was saying.
• 1:07:04
  No Hancock. What's his name?
• 1:07:07
  The guy if you if the glove don't fit, you must acquit
• 1:07:11
  Cochran. Johnny Cochran.
• 1:07:12
  Johnny Cochran. OJ Simpson.
• 1:07:15
  'S yeah, if you can get. This is Johnny.
• 1:07:18
  Cochran, You can get OJ Simpson off.
• 1:07:20
  You can get anybody off. I can I can get them off.
• 1:07:23
  Get over here. How?
• 1:07:24
  How? How many?
• 1:07:30
  Back to engineering though, guys, you know everything that
• 1:07:33
  we're seeing out of this evil coddy thing I've seen a lot of
• 1:07:37
  you know, I was calling it bitching earlier, but I'll be
• 1:07:39
  nicer. I'll just say, you know, some
• 1:07:40
  concern about the the amount of problems, like, you know, the
• 1:07:48
  amount of systems overheating and things blowing up and
• 1:07:51
  Catching Fire. And I I kind of just want to
• 1:07:54
  like take people, you know, take them by by their cheeks, you
• 1:07:58
  know, bring them real close and just whispers like it, it's evil
• 1:08:02
  codding, like it's a limited time.
• 1:08:06
  They need to test this shit. They're not just going to set it
• 1:08:09
  up. You know, let's, let's say their
• 1:08:10
  baseline is, oh, you know, we're this, this piece of equipment
• 1:08:14
  will, will degrade and break, you know, every, you know, every
• 1:08:19
  60 game hours or something like that.
• 1:08:22
  They, they need it to break now they need everything to break.
• 1:08:24
  They need shit to catch fire so that they can get people to test
• 1:08:28
  running around fixing things, putting out fires like this.
• 1:08:32
  This is this seems really obvious to me, but it it does
• 1:08:34
  apparently is not obvious to everybody else.
• 1:08:36
  We have a lot of Chicken Littles.
• 1:08:38
  Yeah. Broccoli, Broccoli.
• 1:08:43
  Oh, I was just saying that's what I was saying earlier.
• 1:08:45
  Is this This is a build that is not allowed.
• 1:08:49
  Not allowed to be seen? Really, it's allowed to be.
• 1:08:51
  Talking about it. But you're not, you're not
• 1:08:54
  supposed to see it because it is not good.
• 1:08:57
  And I was saying this earlier, we've all gotten very used to
• 1:09:01
  really stable Evocadis where there's like a mission story
• 1:09:05
  that Evocadi is testing and then they're like, oh, perfect wave
• 1:09:08
  124 hours later. We're not.
• 1:09:10
  We are already forgetting the days of Evocati, and they're
• 1:09:14
  like, yeah, what was Evocati like?
• 1:09:16
  It's like, oh, I couldn't really leave the landing zone.
• 1:09:19
  I you. Know my bed.
• 1:09:21
  Yeah. The door wouldn't open.
• 1:09:24
  It's that like we're. In my room with me, they stabbed
• 1:09:27
  me. We're going to have more of
• 1:09:30
  those and that's OK because. We need to see.
• 1:09:32
  I miss it. Well, yeah.
• 1:09:36
  Features coming back, you know, the year of stability was good.
• 1:09:38
  I think it was great. I mean my my rig was sort of
• 1:09:41
  like. String back the instability.
• 1:09:43
  Yeah, but not really. I'm like my, you know, my rig is
• 1:09:46
  on the on the edge of of like, you know, being able to play
• 1:09:49
  star system pretty well. But nowadays it's it's buttery
• 1:09:53
  smooth. It's good.
• 1:09:54
  I I don't get many bugs. I don't get hiccups or slowdowns
• 1:09:59
  or anything. It, it feels like a game and I
• 1:10:02
  enjoy that and it's good. I'm glad we got that base level.
• 1:10:05
  Now throw me back in the shit, OK?
• 1:10:09
  Fuck my shit up. Throw some features at me.
• 1:10:12
  And yeah. That hurting me to your.
• 1:10:15
  Life with that mouth is. I sure do.
• 1:10:18
  She likes it. Is this next patch is going to
• 1:10:21
  be 4.4 right? Next.
• 1:10:25
  And it's this is the last patch of the year or is there going to
• 1:10:28
  be one more after that? I think it's got to be one more
• 1:10:32
  right? Sure one is 1 is Invictus and
• 1:10:34
  stuff. I can't remember the.
• 1:10:35
  Count 'cause there is a count. Like they counted like 10
• 1:10:39
  patches or something this year so we're on feet. 444, which is
• 1:10:43
  the next one that just went to Evocadi.
• 1:10:46
  It has the engineering that has the fire.
• 1:10:48
  What's everybody's like? Is that different?
• 1:10:51
  That's a tech preview. The actual EVO for 4.4 hasn't
• 1:10:55
  gone to Evo yet. So what was this what they
• 1:10:59
  showed with the fire and. Tech Preview.
• 1:11:02
  That was tech preview. What's the difference between
• 1:11:04
  that and? Tech preview is just, it's
• 1:11:08
  separate from patches. It's a separate loop.
• 1:11:11
  It's just a chance for them to show.
• 1:11:13
  Yeah, it's a chance for them to test something outside of the
• 1:11:16
  normal patch cycle to just be like, this is what we're
• 1:11:18
  testing. Let's see how it's going.
• 1:11:20
  Maybe we can get in the patch? We're talking about like the in
• 1:11:24
  my YouTube feed that's not coming in the next 4.4.
• 1:11:28
  Unlikely. Yeah, highly.
• 1:11:31
  Unlikely. Yeah, it.
• 1:11:32
  Will it will be a lot of confused.
• 1:11:34
  OK, I'm I'm highly disappointed now because I was so, so, so
• 1:11:38
  looking forward to ripping that fire extinguisher off the wall,
• 1:11:41
  jumping out into space and turning the.
• 1:11:43
  Fire. Extinguisher on and flying
• 1:11:45
  around. Wow.
• 1:11:48
  Yep, 100. Percent.
• 1:11:49
  No, wait, now Disney's lawyers are going to come after us.
• 1:11:50
  Great. 4.4 is the 10th patch of 2025.
• 1:11:55
  Oh, OK. And if that, if we can't use the
• 1:11:59
  if we can't use the fire extinguisher as a jetpack in
• 1:12:01
  space, that is game breaking. Say that again.
• 1:12:07
  Say that again. So I'm going to, I'm going to
• 1:12:09
  make a short of that say that again.
• 1:12:12
  If we don't get 4.4 or whatever patch comes up when the fire
• 1:12:16
  extinguisher, when we can finally tear the fire
• 1:12:18
  extinguisher off the wall. If we can't use that thing in
• 1:12:21
  space as a jetpack. Game broken.
• 1:12:25
  You heard it here, Sig. You heard it here.
• 1:12:27
  Chris Roberts, John Crew. That's the best idea since
• 1:12:30
  toilets. I'm not joking, I mean.
• 1:12:35
  That's that's kind of crazy there Jar, jar that that's
• 1:12:38
  that's putting it pretty high up there.
• 1:12:40
  If I'm in space and I shoot the fire extinguisher and it doesn't
• 1:12:43
  push me in the opposite direction with equal force as
• 1:12:47
  Newton's laws would command. Oh boy.
• 1:12:51
  Now see if if had you not said that.
• 1:12:53
  Wicked. Another six months of
• 1:12:54
  development. Had you not said that?
• 1:12:57
  Six years. Oh dude, if they're I'm going to
• 1:13:01
  be so upset for probably a decade.
• 1:13:04
  They'll they'll probably get that working right away, but
• 1:13:06
  then Chris Roberts will not want to release it because the little
• 1:13:10
  CO2 particles that are emanating from the exhaust nozzle of the
• 1:13:14
  fire extinguisher. Right they're.
• 1:13:16
  Just not cinematic enough. So until we get that right,
• 1:13:19
  yeah, that's going to stay. On the.
• 1:13:22
  Audio guys going to have to look at it.
• 1:13:24
  Mr. Jajar. Yeah.
• 1:13:30
  Whenever I just want to tell you.
• 1:13:31
  Willy's my assistant wicket. Hold on.
• 1:13:33
  Let Willy speak. Yes, Willy.
• 1:13:34
  No, no, no. This is this is, this is Flores.
• 1:13:39
  Oh, Jens Flores. Jens Flores, you.
• 1:13:41
  How'd you pop in here? Jens Florence is a fantastic.
• 1:13:44
  For those of you don't know, he's a developer from CIG.
• 1:13:46
  He's fantastic with computers. Sometimes he sneaks on in here
• 1:13:50
  onto the couch. I don't even know how he does
• 1:13:52
  it. Jens Flores from CIG Frankfurt,
• 1:13:56
  thank you for joining us. Hello, thank you.
• 1:13:59
  Yes, I just wanted to make the announcement that yes, we are
• 1:14:04
  working on that, but we have to physicalize each CO2 particle
• 1:14:10
  and in order to generate the G forces needed with the advanced
• 1:14:15
  calculation. Currently we're slated for 2029.
• 1:14:18
  We're. Going to need new the new Vulcan
• 1:14:21
  effects too for all the bubbles right?
• 1:14:25
  The ray tracing ray tray bubble, that's 19.
• 1:14:30
  Wow, you guys are forward thinking.
• 1:14:32
  Yes. Now Yens, given the realism of
• 1:14:35
  the game, and now that you have fire extinguishers in the game,
• 1:14:39
  you're saying you need to physicalize each CO2 particle.
• 1:14:42
  Do fire extinguishers contain CO2?
• 1:14:48
  Both Google right now. Yes, of course.
• 1:14:51
  Or Halon. Or you could have something
• 1:14:55
  where it is a chemical reaction where it still uses CO2 but also
• 1:15:00
  has water, like a bicarbonate solution.
• 1:15:06
  I was just checking. The 4th wall is coming down.
• 1:15:09
  I did not Google that some developers you can work.
• 1:15:15
  Could you imagine working at CIG?
• 1:15:18
  You're like, you're a fucking computer guy.
• 1:15:20
  You want to just make games? And Christopher was just like, I
• 1:15:23
  need you to become an expert on fire extinguishers.
• 1:15:26
  Well, who did the geology stuff for like the refining like that
• 1:15:29
  was that was. Are any of those Randy Marsh?
• 1:15:31
  Yeah. I mean, I assume they hired some
• 1:15:37
  sort of geologist consultant. I, I doubt they did just
• 1:15:41
  because, I mean, when we recently didn't have a chance to
• 1:15:46
  talk to anyone, CIG and I didn't ask them if they got any
• 1:15:51
  training on public speaking, you know, for these massive events
• 1:15:54
  and stuff. And they were like, no, that
• 1:15:55
  would like, I was surprised because some of them have done
• 1:15:59
  really well, just like their first time out and have come a
• 1:16:01
  long way, you know, over the years.
• 1:16:04
  And they're like, no, you know, CIG didn't, they didn't offer
• 1:16:07
  any, any kind of help or training for that.
• 1:16:10
  So I I think these guys are just out there raw dog in the
• 1:16:12
  Internet and learning as much as they can.
• 1:16:15
  Well, believe me or not, you may not know from listen to the
• 1:16:18
  show, but I used to train people in public speaking not not too
• 1:16:21
  long ago, two or three years ago.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah, yeah. Was this in prison?
• 1:16:26
  No, this is not, although I would.
• 1:16:28
  I would be happy to. I don't know why they would need
• 1:16:31
  to, but I'd be happy to. I think.
• 1:16:35
  The guy all Yeah, the one trained him.
• 1:16:36
  Rehabilitation. Rob Rock and Rob Rob like it.
• 1:16:43
  You were saying something. I think the.
• 1:16:45
  Jared was training him to speak. I'm sure he coached.
• 1:16:52
  I'm sure he coached them. Yeah, because they but but they
• 1:16:54
  said no but. Yeah, I'm sure they didn't get
• 1:16:57
  any formal training, but I'm sure you, you know.
• 1:17:01
  Some of them, yeah. Some of them I.
• 1:17:03
  Mean look how many times. They basically said they shit
• 1:17:05
  themselves on stage. Look how many times those guys
• 1:17:09
  have now been in front of people and in front of the camera.
• 1:17:12
  A lot of them have been, you know, it's just you muscle, the
• 1:17:15
  more you work or you're going to build up some some resistance,
• 1:17:19
  some tolerance. Yeah, I'm sure Jared Feedback
• 1:17:22
  wasn't the best. Well, Jared, feedback, John,
• 1:17:25
  Crew be more like the puppet. I think they do fine.
• 1:17:32
  I mean, some of the stuff they say, they say, I think just
• 1:17:35
  sounds like a lot of marketing speak, but.
• 1:17:38
  How dare you. I think it would be interesting
• 1:17:41
  to be in an interview. Like they said, you know, some
• 1:17:44
  people, they have people show up who don't necessarily know.
• 1:17:49
  Yeah. Like you're, you, you.
• 1:17:50
  We might ask you to go on stage in front of 2000 people and be
• 1:17:55
  simultaneously live. I'm I sit behind.
• 1:17:58
  The screen all day. Yeah, but but they do, you know
• 1:18:01
  what I mean? Obviously, right.
• 1:18:02
  It's in your contract. No, no, you, you totally did
• 1:18:04
  sign up for this. You've got to see someone in an
• 1:18:07
  interview who showed up and just didn't know, you know, that that
• 1:18:11
  was the deal. Oh, somebody.
• 1:18:12
  Yeah. Poor guys on stage
• 1:18:14
  hyperventilating. Right.
• 1:18:17
  How many, how many sitcoms have there been and no one's passed
• 1:18:20
  out yet? It's impressive.
• 1:18:23
  It's pretty good. To be honest, those cons are
• 1:18:26
  very tiny. Wow, listen to this guy.
• 1:18:31
  This guy. Over here.
• 1:18:32
  This guy's swinging some big cons over here.
• 1:18:36
  This guy's. Look at the cons on this kid.
• 1:18:41
  They're a cons on. Do you, do you carry those
• 1:18:43
  around yourself or do you need like a wheelbarrow or something?
• 1:18:45
  So so. So.
• 1:18:47
  So I'll put it this way. I'll put it this way.
• 1:18:49
  So. Put it any way you want man, no
• 1:18:50
  one's going to argue with the guy who's cons of that big.
• 1:18:53
  So when it was in LA it was it was the vendor room plus or
• 1:18:58
  vendor ish room with exhibits and the pyro area, right?
• 1:19:03
  Plus the seating area for for for the big, you know,
• 1:19:08
  presentations and everything like that.
• 1:19:09
  It was like 1500 people. You could sit seat there or
• 1:19:12
  something. That was only half of the vendor
• 1:19:16
  room or like LA Comic Con, like just that's just half the vendor
• 1:19:21
  room. But like the whole sit con was
• 1:19:25
  was was not even just like, it was just artist alley.
• 1:19:28
  Yeah, but comic. Con is like.
• 1:19:30
  DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Pokémon. That's the franchises that are
• 1:19:35
  being represented were right. Citizen Con is a single thing.
• 1:19:40
  Yeah, and yeah, and you're and you're a dude that just got
• 1:19:43
  hired to make you're. A con chamber.
• 1:19:46
  You know, you got you got hired to make water look pretty and
• 1:19:49
  now you've got to talk in front of, you know, 2000 people and
• 1:19:52
  also you know it. No one.
• 1:19:56
  I mean, I mean, I guess maybe I'm wrong on this.
• 1:19:57
  I don't, I don't go for the Comic Con stuff, But I mean, are
• 1:20:00
  they also live streaming, You know, every interview at Comic
• 1:20:04
  Con with people? Really.
• 1:20:07
  Yeah. Most of them.
• 1:20:11
  Because people, people you know, can't be there.
• 1:20:13
  They'll tend, they'll tend from from outside.
• 1:20:15
  But my, my, my thing thing is, is like the reason why you
• 1:20:18
  haven't seen people faint or you haven't seen like medical
• 1:20:21
  emergencies or some of the hiccups is because it, you know,
• 1:20:24
  it is, it is rather small, but they make a big production to
• 1:20:27
  each of it, which is impressive, honestly.
• 1:20:30
  I. Don't think that's the reason.
• 1:20:31
  I mean, the reason is because those guys have done pretty
• 1:20:33
  well. I mean, some people will pass
• 1:20:35
  out, you know, talking to a room full of like 10 people.
• 1:20:40
  No, he means like the audience, the attendees.
• 1:20:44
  Oh, I wasn't talking about the attend.
• 1:20:45
  No, the attendees passing out, that's what we were talking
• 1:20:47
  about. I thought that's what we were
• 1:20:50
  talking about. No, no, it's about the dude.
• 1:20:53
  Does anyone? Know what the fuck we're talking
• 1:20:55
  about? Who who gives?
• 1:20:56
  Who gives a shit if any of the Pete the schlubs sitting in the
• 1:20:58
  seats pass out? Wow.
• 1:21:00
  Oh my God, that's you. That's me.
• 1:21:04
  That's us. There's someone.
• 1:21:06
  That's what I'm. Saying.
• 1:21:10
  That's what I'm saying. If George passes out, I'm going
• 1:21:12
  to roll his bloated corpse to the side and take his seat.
• 1:21:16
  If it's a better spot, that's it.
• 1:21:18
  I'm going to rifle through his bag, take some of those stickers
• 1:21:21
  and move on with my life. I don't care.
• 1:21:23
  If he passed. Out if.
• 1:21:25
  John Crew passes out in the middle of the presentation.
• 1:21:28
  I'm going to be OK. I'm going to be up there giving
• 1:21:31
  him CPR. Not not because I care for the
• 1:21:33
  man, which I do, that's something separate, but because
• 1:21:36
  I want my presentation. OK, Duke wants to give John Crew
• 1:21:39
  mouth to mouth. You've heard it here first.
• 1:21:42
  Are you at least going to maybe like put your phone onto 911 and
• 1:21:46
  then just leave their phone there before you steal their
• 1:21:48
  wallet too? No, 911 doesn't like that.
• 1:21:53
  Damn that's wild. You see, cosmic dudes would
• 1:21:56
  leave you there in the bar, just slumped over.
• 1:21:59
  Damn, no, he. Wouldn't with that?
• 1:22:01
  He wouldn't leave you there, he would first loot you and then
• 1:22:03
  leave you there. He wouldn't leave all of me
• 1:22:07
  there. Oh, he's.
• 1:22:08
  Dude, you're gonna open inventory and see see what's
• 1:22:11
  everything you need first. Yeah, he's got to get past.
• 1:22:14
  He's protecting your valuables. That's what they call.
• 1:22:17
  It Yeah, it has. Hold on for you.
• 1:22:19
  As an example, Duke has left Jar Jar slumped over at a bar.
• 1:22:23
  So that mean that that you know. I've never.
• 1:22:26
  I don't. First of all, I don't slump in.
• 1:22:28
  Public, I don't slump. He he lays down gracefully.
• 1:22:32
  Yeah, I'm actually, I'll have you know, and I'll put it out
• 1:22:35
  there on the Internet. I I am very good.
• 1:22:38
  I'm a very good party animal. He survived some.
• 1:22:41
  Gun. I will Keep it together, baby, I
• 1:22:44
  will. Keep it here folks together
• 1:22:45
  until until I get the the gauntlet has been thrown.
• 1:22:48
  If you'd like to take Jar Jar out for a party and test, just
• 1:22:52
  send a message to by Omens Radio.
• 1:22:55
  By my drinks. Wait, wait, are you, are you
• 1:22:57
  soliciting people to to to solicit jar jar at a party?
• 1:23:04
  Yes. Are you paying for the service?
• 1:23:06
  Can I tell you something, given, given the current climate in the
• 1:23:10
  economic climate in the United States, I have a lot of free
• 1:23:12
  time. And if somebody did want to be
• 1:23:17
  like, hey, dude, I'll go out and get you drunk, dude.
• 1:23:20
  I'd be like, yeah, like, of course.
• 1:23:21
  Let's to go baby, you know you and me.
• 1:23:25
  Didn't drink, you didn't drink. You didn't drink meat dry during
• 1:23:28
  citizen con SO and I had free flowing liquor.
• 1:23:32
  That's true. You had like you.
• 1:23:33
  Had a lot of that's 'cause we were, we were tired, we were all
• 1:23:36
  tired. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:23:37
  We were like running it. It was like it was a lot.
• 1:23:41
  Yeah, I'm tired of cooking with broccoli.
• 1:23:43
  Yeah, y'all did an amazing job. Broccoli.
• 1:23:47
  Whoa, we're we're cooking alright, We cooked.
• 1:23:49
  Broccoli. Actually it it was brothel
• 1:23:51
  sprouts but. Speaking of, I gotta tell
• 1:23:52
  Broccoli I'm gonna be visiting where he lives.
• 1:23:57
  It's the run. I'm gonna be like a few blocks
• 1:23:58
  from him very soon. So I yeah, tell him either to go
• 1:24:00

• 1:24:10
  anyway. Nobody fucking cares.
• 1:24:14
  Who cares? All right, look, we got all
• 1:24:17
  right. I'll give you guys an option
• 1:24:18

• 1:24:24
  I got to go. So let's just end it.
• 1:24:27
  Let's end it. Let's end.
• 1:24:28
  It keep them wanting more jar jar you know.
• 1:24:30
  I might still cut. Oh, we want to keep them wanting

  more. Here's what I'm going to do.
• 1:24:34
  I don't know. We'll see.
• 1:24:35
  We'll see how it I don't know if next week it's going to be worth
• 1:24:41
  having a show. Plus, are you saying our voices
• 1:24:45
  aren't worth it? No, our voices are worth it.
• 1:24:48
  But in terms of the development and CIG and the content and the
• 1:24:51
  patch, you know what, what do we foresee happening next week?
• 1:24:59
  It. It there could be feedback from
• 1:25:02
  the engineering tech preview, there could be, you know, more
• 1:25:07
  waves of that with with yeah, the. 4.4 Evo is supposed to hit
• 1:25:10
  this week. You see?
• 1:25:14
  Jar jar. 20. Five.
• 1:25:15
  No, it did not, right. It's 2025, and Star Citizen is
• 1:25:21
  growing by leaps and bounds. If you miss a week, you miss a
• 1:25:25
  world. I hops and skips anyway.
• 1:25:28
  Also, we haven't gotten a word from our sponsor.

  Politically, it's not a good look for us.
• 1:27:34
  To Are they prison abolitionists?

  end the show. Duke, Duke, How do we usually
• 1:28:00
  end the show? Let's say you actually.
• 1:28:02
  We we usually ask if anyone has something they want to say for
• 1:28:05
  Chris Roberts or anyone at CIG or, you know, the the universe
• 1:28:09
  in general is is usually what we say yeah, the.
• 1:28:11
  Internet usually. So we're going to go, we're
• 1:28:14
  going to go, we should go backwards, we're going to go
• 1:28:17
  backwards. We're going to start with
• 1:28:18
  wicket. Wicket.
• 1:28:19
  Is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris Roberts, or
• 1:28:21
  the people on the Internet? Fire extinguisher jet packs make
• 1:28:26
  it happen. Fuck yeah dude.
• 1:28:29
  Fuck yeah dude. Cosmic Cobo.
• 1:28:33
  Is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris Roberts, or

  Lord Anubis, is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris
• 1:28:49
  Roberts, or the people on the Internet?
• 1:28:53
  Yes. I would like to say that you

  Are you talking to the Internet? Well, that's not really easy.
• 1:29:12
  To say to. Me.
• 1:29:13
  Yeah, it's COG. Chris Roberts.
• 1:29:15
  Yeah, it wasn't even supposed to be.
• 1:29:19
  I think I speak for everybody. Yeah, but.
• 1:29:22
  Who? Everybody.
• 1:29:24
  I think he's taking the other. One, he's doing the Internet.
• 1:29:26
  He was. Treating him unfairly.
• 1:29:29
  You treated him unfairly, I'm just saying.
• 1:29:32
  We it cut out the. Signal.
• 1:29:37
  Anyways, I had nothing so I don't know.
• 1:29:39
  I figured. I'd well, Duke, Duke, We did it.
• 1:29:42
