Pearl Harbor isn't a state...not even an island or city...it's a harbor in Hawaii.
Geez...I thought it was just Americans that were lousy at grography.
Thinking Pearl Harbor is a state would be like thinking Big Ben was a nation.



Umm, I'm referring to the punchline saying the Japs left in '40 when the attack actually occurred in '41. (geez I thought Americans were bad at history...)


Don't give up your day job, you'll never make it as a comedian.

Well, at least I'll have Historian as a fall back

RE Pearl Harbour isn't a State sonny, he guffawed.
I said it was a state after the Japanese left it in 1940.

Bearing in mind that not everyone here has English (or even American!) as their first language, maybe someone should explain that the phrase "in a state" can be used in English to mean 'In a very bad condition' e.g. battered and bruised, wrecked etc.

I agree, though, it was a poor joke

The CM team might have a scheduled stream tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be brought up then. I expect bad news though if they do have the stream.

In before CM's be like: "sorry we broke the FSD's we promised. Everyone's getting credits instead."

No, no, no. They will announce that they fixed every problem increased the performance of odyssey and added a bunch of new content including ship interiors. As a surprise update for the community.

I'm actually anticipating DOOM here. "Due to the losses last period as a direct result of ED:O's failed release that didn't meet expectations, the board has decided to discontinue development of further additions to the game, will concentrate solely on getting ED:O working to a bare minimal standard sufficient to be eligible for the console cash grab and be done with it. Additionally, we have no choice but to lay off 50% of the staff yet bonuses for the COs will ofc be doubled regardless" ... something bs like that. I'm hearing rumours that we lost another CM, hence the silence, so I have little hope at this point as to me this all looks like abandoning a sinking ship.

Do you have any source about this rumor ? and who is it supposed to be ?

Just speculation among friends regarding FDev posting an ad for CM 3 weeks ago on LinkedIN. I also read a discussion on this in the FDev forums but I can't find it anymore.

They may need additional CMs for their upcoming Warhammer game.

True, which is why I called it rumours and speculation. It's one of the good sides to being a pessimist. You're rarely disappointed

Saka who's there with you, are you being held hostage?
