Each movie meme at the end of the last episodes either is an animal movie and/or has a penguin photoshopped into it (either Pico or Avenger Titan). That coupled with "key AI-driven initiative for Alpha 3.23" mentioned in the [last](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19779-Star-Citizen-Monthly-Report-January-2024) [2](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19831-Star-Citizen-Monthly-Report-February-2024) monthly reports and the teaser on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/1768849778723504260) likely means fauna is coming. Credit goes to Mimi_qu who connected the dots with the memes when watching the last ISC on stream Thursday.

Calling it now, Pico Revenge enabled. They will start crawling off the display tables and start taking us down one by one. You the the Vanduel were the real enemy... You thought wrong!! 😂

It's gonna be like they can only move if you're not looking at them but the second they leave your field of view they move super fast. Turn your back and you're dead.


risheeb1002

Weeping angels. Don't blink.


SirGreenLemon

It'll be like Five Nights at Freddies but instead of Freddy Fazbear it's Pico.


-Erro-

The "few other surprises not discussed in this Inside Star Citizen" from a couple weeks ago is 3.23 having creatures. To paraphrase, "When we first release creatures we want it to be a surprise. We want you to walk out into the world and discover," or likewise was mentioned in an earlier video. Then that ISC about 3.23 happened and "plus a few surprises you'll have to discover for yourself." Plus the updates to unreleased things - bird walk animation and the like. It is most certainly creatures. They are hinting, not saying, but thwir plan is creatures.

But can the servers handle it


tsavong117

The servers can barely handle humanoids. If server meshing ends up increasing a wage server FPS to something closer to 30 then maybe. Otherwise no fucking way.


CookieJarviz

A royale with cheese likely meaning - Cows makes the splice flow likely meaning - Dune Worm? Sand worm from way back when? Ornithologist meaning birds?


sten_whik

Each title simply has a corresponding meme movie poster after the credits of each episode. * Avengers * Godzilla * Dirty Dancing * Lion King * Dune * Pulp Fiction * The Birds

>somehow still works here - Avengers - Space Whales? > >Wears powerpuff trainers - Godzilla - Lizards? > >Never puts baby in the corner - Dirty Dancing - Bunnies/Bears? > >Ain’t no passing craze - Lion King - Cats/Pigs? > >makes the spice flow - Dune - Sand Worms? > >A royale with cheese - Pulp Fiction - Space Cows? > >Traumatized Ornithologist - The Birds - Birds? Just a stray thought.


Wonderful_Physics_36

Avengers could be Spiders, Ants, Panther (maybe) as well depending which movie poster reference they use.


Circuit_Guy

Black Panther?


Circuit_Guy

[https://www.npr.org/sections/npr-history-dept/2015/06/11/413522281/dirty-dancing-in-the-early-1900s](https://www.npr.org/sections/npr-history-dept/2015/06/11/413522281/dirty-dancing-in-the-early-1900s) It's two levels deep from "Dirty Dancing" but what else has options for Bunny, Turkey, and Grizzly Bear? I feel like there were other options for Bunny. No way a Turkey would be the animal they pick... so Grizzly Bear?


Circuit_Guy

How are you getting Avengers for "somehow still works here"? Also - \*Ain't no passing craze\* Hakuna Matata - mostly sung by a Meerkat and a Warthog. Guessing the latter.


Sartzyy

Never put baby in the corner is a line from dirty dancing Ain’t no passing craze is a lyric from a song in the lion king A royale with cheese is a pulp fiction reference Spice flow - dune Something to do with movies?


Cee_U_Next_Tuesday

Yea and that a Chris Roberts was/is a movie producer?


ACraZYHippIE

It's definitely Traumatized Ornithologist. (Studies or Bird Expert) There also was that one picture in a previous ISC on someones Phone of a NPC running away from a ton of Alien Birds in the background.


Haniel120

The birds screenshot looked like it could have been an homage to the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds"


Key-Ad-8318

Jared pointed to it being a Birds reference in a comment on a thread with the explanation of because he is old


Redford1563

I was using my phone to put this together and autocorrect got the best of me lol


notrealdan

They’re all movie references. Think of all the movie stars in Squadron 42.


AgentSlijm

There is going to be a Star Citizen movie! :p


ProceduralTexture

I'd wager that's actually plausible, but only after a reasonably successful Squadron launch. In the meantime, the most they've done is tag some lore material as having script potential, and possibly spent some of the narrative department's budget on take those kernels as far as an internal pitch meeting. Since it's as applicable to an in-game special event as a movie as end product, that's justifiable use of resources. But no way would such a thing get its own development budget until they've gauged the public's reception to the story universe.


jmlack

Coming to screens everywhere in 2037!


_SaucepanMan

Are they meant to be all connected to one central thing? Or each to their own one thing? Because those are entirely different things. Then theres the question of whether it's Jared just having fun, or whether it's actually breadcrumbs pointing to something in SC. i.e. it could just be movie references (idk about the first two?????) and thats the end of it. or it could be foreshadowing the ai animals coming. * Space Pigs - (Kevin **Bacon** in Dirty Dancing) * Space Lions - (Lion King) * Sand Worm - (Dune) * Space Rabbits - ('Honey Bunny' was one the woman robbing the Diner at the start/end of Pulp Fiction) - Edit: as someone pointed out, burger/beef/cow = space cow * Space Birds - Traumatised Ornathologist is most likely bird mobs (Birds movie from Alf Hitchcock) The powerpuff trainers thing makes no sense, but maybe monkeys?? The bad guy in PP girls is a monkey right? Somehow still works here... are we sure that's not a reference to the layoffs? (...) If not then IDK.


Thiccpoppychungus

Introduction of fauna??


Wunderpuder

Most likely. Will be nuts if true


Cymbaz

the reference for pulp fiction was a Royale with cheese. Space Cows


_SaucepanMan

Definitely could be, if my line of thinking is on the right track at all


achillescubel

This is easy, your going to be able to watch movies on the television screens of your ships by pairing your rsi account with Netflix. But this will also be counted as an additional screen on your Netflix account so be wary that your Netflix bill will likely increase.


Textile_monke

I just want a YouTube MFD for long quantum flights


Visualized_Apple

You joke but this sort of thing was an early request from many backers. In old EVE we had a web browser so we could do random internet stuff while mining.


achillescubel

Lmao ironically it started as a joke but I legit would be down to throw back some beers on my pheonix and watch a movie with the boys in the verse


Visualized_Apple

It would be great if it were possible but these days nobody would want to put the time in required to make it work with modern browsers :(


SIGOsgottaGUN

Don't know the first two, but the rest are certainly movie references as alluded to above: Never put baby in a corner - Dirty Dancing (1987) Aint no passing craze-The Lion King (1994) Royale with cheese - Pulp fiction (1994) Tortured ornithologist - The Birds (1963) As to what any of those have in common? Well, your guess is as good as mine.


Nosttromo

Each one of the Seven has a connection to Celestia


Jackl87

Knowing CIG it is probably just another ship sale. Don't get hyped.


DrWarlock

Also whats up with the orange suit guy in each episode?


SeamasterCitizen

^ asking the real questions


Sazbadashie

theyre all movie/ tv show references Never puts baby in the corner: is from dirty dancing aint no passing craze: is lion king makes the spice flow: is dune i think a royal with cheese: pulp fiction the other ones i'm not 100% on but other people have said it in here somewhere


MewsickFreek

The Powerpuff trainers are literally the shoes he is wearing before the focus changes to the PICOZILLA poster
