    I think being on Lemmy is part of the issue. The Venn diagram of people who left Reddit for Lemmy and the people who support pie in the sky games like SC doesn’t have a whole lot of overlap in the middle, I wouldn’t think.

    Anyway, any particular gameplay loop you’re excited for?

      My personal loop these days is singing along to my show-tunes paylist while delivering space cargo, which is (usually) super chill. But I’m excited about expansions to multicrew stuff. I’m a fly boy, a big aviation nerd irl. I want to fly, and I want a Chewbacca to help with the other stuff. It’s just a matter of tricking a player into swearing a life debt…

      Too true about the venn diagram. If SC was on Linux, I bet the Lemmy community would be thriving lol.

      As for what I’m excited for, honestly just new star systems. I’m getting really tired of the original Stanton system as I’ve done and seen pretty much everything it has. The new system Pyro is apparently supposed to release before the end of the year so that would be really cool to see.

      In the meantime we’ve been doing illegal bounty missions which has you destroying law abiding NPC ships and pirating their loot- it’s pretty fun and you can make a fortune doing it :)

        Instructions to run SC on Linux can be found here: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/knowledge-base/wiki

        The Linux User Group organization is one of the largest orgs (currently 13th) in Star Citizen.

        Edit - link to orgs sorted by size: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/orgs/listing?sort=size_desc

        Edit 2 - While SC can be run on Linux today, it’s not officially supported yet, but they do have plans to support it now that Vulkan can be used:

        Yes, because the problem is the OS it runs on and not that the devs can do nothing but lie.

        Squadron 42 was nearly complete and needed polish in 2023 and now we learn a year later it’s delayed till 2026.

        Just like the game itself started production in 2011 and has since missed date after date after date and produced an expensive and constantly broken tech demo mess.

        But yeah if only it were on Linux and has nothing to do with the misuse of funds and said broken promises
