Links & The Like
Elite: Dangerous
Elite Dangerous will release the Gutamaya Corsair the same day you get this podcast. Early reports from research badgers say that she flies tight, has tight weapons convergence, and looks tight in the sky. But there’s only four utility slots and no fighter bay, so she’s not the Krait Killer that we were looking for. Also, Tony was WRONG again, as he completely wussed out and hauled cargo to complete Guard Frequency’s space outpost in the Proteus system. He’s really on a losing streak these days.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen released Early Access Pre-Alpha Release Candidate Prototype Experimental Test Build 4.1 LIVE 9650658 to the Live server. Ummm, well, actually it could also be 9659838 and 9661546 OR it’s still on 9650658 depending on whether or not you rename a file in your SC folder [DEEP BREATH] to test the Hotfixes which are not official releases yet but which address a number of issues outside of the normal patch cycle. Also, according to the patch notes there are no more Known Issues, but if you click on a link to the splashy web page they are there WAAAAY at the bottom. Also, Tony was right, thus ending his losing streak of wrongness, because Citizen Con 2025 is going virtual and looking for some Bar Citizen help. Finally, we regret to inform you that, as announced during the intro, CIG has finally released their 2023 financials. Which means that Tony has a litany of hot takes which we will all be subjected to in short order. May God have mercy on our souls.

- Is Nintendo raising the price floor for video games for the entire industry or are they just charging the Zelda/Mario premium that they’ve earned?
