I wanted to do this so many times but thought I'd look like a creepy stalker
Right?!?!
I was going to bake cupcakes.
Cupcake-ruining fandom drama aside, in case you do decide to send them something in the future: last I heard, they can't accept homemade goodies.

Well, I just finished reading the Kotaku article on the protest cupcakes of 2012 and all the comments. *sigh* I think it was a particularly orlesian play, sending something sweet but with bitter messages.
I can understand it might seem like that now, but, at least back then, I had the impression that this was a way to communicate the dissatisfaction in a friendlier and more respectful manner. Keep in mind that a lot of posts at the time were demanding all kinds of outrageous things, like them remaking the endings from scratch or seeing people fired. It was an ugly mess... In all that, this seemed like an effort to show that not everyone had lost their minds.
Then again, maybe it's exactly this contrast that made the cupcake initiative seem less offensive than maybe it really was. I just remember it being a bit of a positive light in those stormy months 
(Just a different perspective, not saying you're wrong.)

Oh, that's actually nice to know!
I was considering sending them Tim Tams (apparently Cameron Lee got people hooked on them) at some point this year, not sure if they'd survive the shipping time though :/
Cupcakes and Bioware have a... troubled history.
Do tell. 
Thank you Hrungr. Twitter became confusing to me so I like how you aggregate all the good stuff here.
You're welcome!
(Though I'm not checking Twitter as much I used to... I think Lady Sif and PCThug are doing the lion's share of the work here. 
)
To have 5 devs standing there looking over your shoulder, it had better be something as important as...
Animating a romance culmination on Andromeda isn't as easy as I'd imagine.

Is that Aaryn Flynn standing on the top left? Looks like him a bit.
Today has been a super productive day and I finished a ton of tasking I had on me. FEELS GOOD.
I almost burned down the studio trying to make toast...
Thanks for confirming I wasn't having a stroke!

Yeah, that's gotta be him...

No. They'd spend all their time having Tim Tam Slamming competitions and not do any work.

Ooh, I can already picture the board full of romance threads with people arguing over who's the better romance, why all women are ugly, why x or y isn't bisexual, why you can't romance the toaster, and pretty much everything else! It's going to be so fun!! Somebody should start baking cookies and preparing the popcorn.

I just hope not all romances force that kind of culmination to be part of it.

Random thought: what if the reason we haven't been shown any [official] footage from the game yet is because it's taking a long while to make it look similar to the final product. They said it was going to look supposedly even better than the E3 2015 trailer, so maybe they're getting to that point before they start marketing?

Apparently it was real space. They were watching the SpaceX launch.

I'd prefer they show Pre-Alpha stuff and then say this isn't the final product rather than wait for it to be on par with the final product personally. The feel is better than the paintjob, and the feel will be there in any state of the game.
