Star Citizen: Casual Citizen S3E5

Welcome to Casual Citizen Season 2, Episode 5. I'm your host, Alysianah from AlysianahsWorld.com. Casual Citizen is an ongoing series about the upcoming first-person MMO, Star Citizen, by Cloud Imperium Games. My show is a mixture of game commentary, lore discussions, tales of my adventures in the game's persistent universe, and fan-fiction I write set within the Star Citizen IP.

Episode 5 topics include Price of a Seamless World, Gamer's Musing discussion of playing Star Citizen, returning to New World, The Sims 4, and the daunting task of intelligent AI CIG is expected to deliver.

Our lives are still focused on my daughter's health crisis. She had surgery on Friday to remove a cyst. It will be a couple of weeks before the pathology report is completed. Until then, I work and endure by finding joy wherever I'm able. Unfortunately, recording and editing audio aren't in the cards, but I did want to release the next story in my Pod City, The Fallen series. As a result, the whole show uses an AI voice. I hope you can enjoy all the same.

Casual Citizen Episode 27 - Origin 890 Jump

Casual Citizen EP 27 featuring the Origin 890 Jump luxury touring ship. A ship that's been on my radar for two years and it took a year before I was able to pledge for it. I'm super excited about the RP aspects it will provide to my future gaming adventures in Star Citizen.

Resuming Star Citizen Coverage

I'm back from a 3-month hiatus owed to work demands and major home renovation project I've been planning for the past year. OMG it was hectic making huge changes all at once but I'm totally in love with the outcome. A primary reason was to create a private living space upstairs that included a dedicated recording room for myself. Now that I'm almost an empty-nester, I can finally change things around to suit myself and my needs. Trying to record reliable from the ground floor just didn't work.  Outside noises, appliances, etc., were always an issue but no more. :-)

I'm back with another episode of Casual Citizen, covering the luxury touring ship from Origin, the 890 Jump. You can find the show here on my YouTube channel.

Star Citizen Lore Collaboration: Mining Rocks

A couple of months ago, I was asked to collaborate on producing lore narrations with SCLoreCast. SCLC is a group dedicated to bringing SC lore to life by narrating the official dispatches and fiction from Cloud Imperium Games. I'm looking forward on-going relationship with this very talented group, all of whom are members of the SC community.

You can listen to the episode here and help them out by subscribing to their YouTube channel, where they're also running a contest.

New Star Citizen Series, The Nightbus

The Nightbus is an idea that just wouldn't go away. It's been on the back burner for several months. Whereas Casual Citizen attempt to prepare and inform players about the game itself, NightBus is focused on OpEd style articles. What I think about things going on in the community, Cloud Imperium Games' events, official fiction, lore, fanfiction, etc. A melting pot of whatever is on my mind.

You can watch episode 1 on my YouTube Channel.  I hope you enjoy.

The Planned Slavery Mechanic in Star Citizen

I just published an article on [REDACTED] about an upcoming topic for Casual Citizen. It discusses what we know so far about the planned slavery mechanic. I was a bit "Yikes!" when I discovered the theme was being included in an MMO where realism is the name of the game. No smoke and mirror content, meaning we're likely to see this play out in living color. Yowza!

I personally don't get the appeal and have to wonder about players who were hoping they'd actually get to detain another player long term for their own amusement. Based on what we know so far, I think CIG's plan to support the capture without long term impact to the captive player is a good one, IF this must exist at all.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the persistent universe during alpha.

What do you think? Is it really necessary to support such themes in MMOs?

Big Ole Update

I just finished publishing a catch-all update on Alysianah's World of Star Citizen. It talks about what I'm doing in the SC space as well as a couple of other games I've been dabbling in. With most of my free-time still being allocated to Aly's World, there's not a whole lot left over for much else. However, I have managed to tiptoe around in World of Warcraft Legion and The Sims City Living expansion pack.  Hop on over here if you'd like to read more.

Alysianah's World of Star Citizen 2.0 Live

Insert massive sigh of relief!! I'm a bit exhausted and brain twisted from the last two days of pushing this release over the goal line. It's 2 weeks earlier than I originally planned but I already have content I'm working on to fill that gap. :-)

I would really LOVE to get my full vision in before the Christmas holiday. Then I can let the site soak for a bit and actively acquire feedback. Most importantly on usability and clarity of the information.

Lower level details of the release are on the Star Citizen Reddit Sub
