Holy tits 139gb. At that point you'd be better getting it on a USB stick in a box and download whatever patches were required.

Yes, I've been under the impression this whole time the PTU was being used as the means to an end for Concierge to have access to the newest assets as soon as possible and it was never intended that Concierge was expected to be testing at all. It's just the numbers have swollen to such an extent...

Avast, here be dragons!

Welcome aboard! For active players the Discord always has action going on so don't be shy hopping on there, but don't be a stranger here on the forum we have allll the highest quality posts and have been known to play SC occasionally too! :like:

Absolutely, there is referencing and thre is inspired by where new works are created, and there is reappropriation using the original in ways that don't make much new such as homage (recreating something great in your own style but still intentionally clearly a copy), remixing the original into...

The IP that is Starfield. If they've had it on the cards for 25 years and publishers said no to the SC pitch, and Field gets funding just after the SC crowdfunder success, it stands to logical interrogation Starfield was sat on a shelf waiting for a market to appear and importantly it matches...

Ducks like you, too!

It does make one wonder if AI is able to create anything actually new at this point... Even systems like Dhall-E take what exists and smash them together at the suggestion of the input. If I asked an AI machine to, for example, make up a new musical instrument... would it be able to...? Seeing...

Very cool indeed. I'd always thought the success of the SC crowdfunder would prompt existing studios to put competing IPs into production but I'd not guessed it could have been the spark to get things already in the pot which had languished unloved into the limelight. No wonder no publishers...

That's pretty cool, I'd love to read about that if you have a link to it?

I'd be surprised if there are any backers who have not sat at least one patch out. I know I have. I even say Spectrum out for the whole of 2020, the only new years resolution I managed to keep :-)

a giant amongst TESTies!

New variant of interest with high number of mutations spotted in several countries. Unclear if they mean more contagious or evades current Immunity: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/18/new-covid-variant-ba286-causing-concern-among-scientists-detected-in-london

Naa, I mean if they hadn't gone to a space IP but still wanted a game with multiple Skyrim sized maps you move between using an existing IP, so they could have you hop between the normal world and an underworld, a dream world, a shadow world etc.

Private sales of COVID vaccines appear to take a step closer to reality in UK: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/17/covid-booster-jabs-approved-for-sale-to-uk-public "Some employers might want to offer the vaccines to their staff" - that may well be the source of much private spend...

Don't think I have but to this point as far as I am aware they are very terrestrial and not very space based, so will wait to see how that's been implemented... I suppose if they'd made this game using their traditional IP's it'd be a magic mirror or some other kind of arcane portal taking...

Oooooh, or maybe not, just looked it up - I fall outside of the minimum system requirements. That's my decision made! :-D

I'm a big fan of space opera games but from what I've seen so far there's a bunch of on-foot and not much in-space and planet side isn't exactly my idea of a space game even if the planet has alien crabs and spoon-billed elephants. I'll wait for release and see if it's got more to it than has...

Aloha space cadets, As the months progress the part of the world I am in moves toward autumn and the prospect of COVID -19 once again comes in to focus, headlines this morning discussing vaccine drives and potential waves: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66502573...

I had to find another way of making guff sounds in lifts hence the efforts put in to learning my armpit skills. Little did I know a few short decades later technology would progress to a point we could all have a novelty electronic fart-box in our pockets to make the noises at will, and then...
