This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner.

Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.

Those schemes are more fly by night and don't last long.

Websites that sell illegal products are almost always based in a place where the product isn't illegal or enforced.

Your comment basically assumes that everyone lives in poverty.

Which, granted, isn't that far off from the truth, but the reality is that it takes an extremely poor person to think like you - to the extent that someone dropping $25 bucks on mac and cheese for a kid probably doesn't share your sentiments.

If your post is hidden within seconds, it's automod getting it most likely. Being hid from a channel by the creator means your comment just never shows up, even in their notification feed.

What you're talking about has absolutely nothing to do with any of the points I've made.

Please stop typing.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I've just described.

Again, this isn't YouTube removing his comments. His comments are not being deleted. OP was simply "hid from channel" by the creator. I don't know how else I can explain this, short of recording a video of my YouTube channel as I shadowban a commenter.

YouTube does delete comments. But this isn't that. When YT deletes your comments you can no longer see it in even on your account.

This was a hard post to read.

You're not shadowbanned from YouTube. The creator you're commenting on has simply "hid" you from their channel. Which ironically is a shadowban, just on a creator level.

The level of panic and outrage you've displayed here despite not having a clue as to how the mechanic you're discussing works is remarkable.

Most excellent.

Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it's here?

Mission Specialists.

They were given trivial tasks to perform to justify the title. It was in bad faith and should have rung alarm bells. But I anticipate for the luxury thrill-seeker, they may be accustomed to fancy titles for their trips, and didn't even really think about it.

Trans people are cool. Love em. Full human rights for everyone, end discrimination. This post, though, is obnoxious though.

Sending edicts out to the public is never the play. Use your sidebar. Moderate stuff. Make it cool to not be a bigot. But the second you start doing goofy shit like this, you're painting a target on your back and coming across way more fragile than you must actually be.

I personally have a policy about blocking any community that has admins who feel it necessary to try to police people's thoughts. As much as bigots piss me off, this isn't how people conduct themselves in a place that purports to be a safe haven. You don't patronize and denigrate the general public out of frustration, unless you want them as an enemy for some reason. The idea you needed you adjust your terminology in retrospect confirms how poorly you wrote your initial message.

Also, I have to say, "We allowed 196 to be here" is a curious statement. What exactly did you allow? Is opening a community a big endeavor? I've opened up a bunch, and never have I felt like I was owed someone for doing it.

Ban bad behavior. Don't try to tell people how to think. We have a word for the latter and it's not pretty.

There is no set of raw data that cannot be laundered into a new system.

They removed the messages because they wanted to.

But that's the thing. She isn't taking the L on this. That's my point. She seems to just be chillin', doing fuck all. Everyone knows it's Musk running it.

This isn't a case where he needed to bring in a fall guy CEO for a difficult business choice. This is a case where he brought in a new CEO to literally save the corporation, and she's doing nothing and nobody is blaming her. It's surreal.
