Why is starbound so different that everyone is getting their panties in a huge sweaty bunch over this? Press copys are not a new thing, and preordering is just preordering, early access or not.

Just switch to a less bunched up pair and move on, it's like only two days early. I expect this sorta thing from the official forums but this is literally the last place I thought I'd see complaints about people like TB or northernlion getting it first.

And yes they're still making changes. The other day when leth was streaming a patch was pushed out, and just yesterday someone noticed an oversight with the glitch being called robots in the character creation menu.

Yea, I'm going with Janet here. That is just how things go, would it be better to just not let reviewers do their job?

This is celebrity endorsement in a way. Get more people interested in the game. Starbound is relatively unknown and this is a great way to garner more attention.

Well I have a right to be annoyed...

I don't like celebrity.

I'm not entirely sure that the press people got "copies". From some of the streams, I could see they were using some sort of... remote desktop thing? Like, maybe the game is actually running in a computer at the Starbound company and not locally. That would explain if the thing was too unstable to release as a Beta, and that most of these sneak peeks have been hosted by Chucklefish.

I don't think we were bunching panties yet, were we? Mild wrinkling at most, if that. Maybe a crinkle or two. Because if I missed the actual panties bunching signal I think I need to go out and acquire a properly bunchable set.

I'm not quite sure what a properly bunchable set of panties would entail, exactly, but I'm fairly sure it involves tinfoil lining.

It's too bad there aren't bajillions of video games available elsewhere on the Internet, even for free, that we can play to tide us over until then.

Can we all dial it back a bit? I'm no theatre major; I can't handle dramatics of this magnitude!

Speaking as someone who wears panties: thin ones, usually cheap cotton but sometimes silk.  Thin material + static = goddamit where is my Starbound D:

Incidentally boxers, too, are called panties in Korea.

I don't wear them, but imagine they'd bunch up pretty badly.  Loose-fitting underwear and tight girl-jeans probably doesn't fit well together.

So wait what were we talking about?  Are we flying the stars to mine panties from the local pokemon?

Probably. The real question is whether they'll be leggings or a hat.

Or both, I guess. At some point they should totally make it so you can wear pant-things on your head, now that I think about it.
