I'm just a filthy console gamer, but I think most pre-release sales come within two months of the release date. Like, nobody at GameStop asked if I wanted to pre-order Fallout 4 last January.

I am just going to go out on a limb here and speculate that any money they make from the mocap studio will not be going into the game. Why should it? They already have enough money to finish the game, after all!

If I could look one year into the future, the two things I'd look at first are lottery numbers and the Star Citizen thread.

I can't imagine how the brown sea will still be excited and waiting for the game that's "content complete" and coming any day now, but I know they will be.

Unless our hero burns it all down first.

Getting your money's worth through theorycrafting?

When I drop $4 on Powerball tickets I get at least that much fun out of daydreaming about how I'd spend the jackpot. I bet I could have $15,000 worth of fun daydreaming about the One True Game To End All Games, so I'm off to order the Completionist package! I should have plenty of time forever to think about the game before it comes out!

I feel like the lighting in that picture just kinda sucks, and it probably looks way better in real life than it does in that. I'd probably try it, but I wish someone would do something with slaw that isn't "slather it in mayo or salad dressing and call it a day"

Primanti's slaw is pretty much just shredded cabbage with some vinegar. It's not that confetti drenched in mayo like KFC or other places.

When I get hungry for hot dogs, I try to dress them up a little bit.

Slightly toasted potato rolls, quality cheese (pepperjack or provolone), bacon, mustard, something just a little spicy (banana pepper rings, Texas Pete, sriracha). I also like to cook them on my Foreman grill so I get the nice marks.

A little bit of effort goes a long way toward deluding myself that I'm living a real life and I'm not going to die and have my cat eat my face before someone finds out I'm gone.

I'm watching someone else (BadNewsBaron) try to play this game on Twitch, my third streamer since last night.

Nobody has managed to keep the game running for more than 10 minutes. Jumping onto someone's "mutli-crew" ship causes a crash. Approaching a planet causes a crash. Blowing up space pirates causes a crash. Several times people haven't managed to get to the ship selector (which has one of the ship names bugged) before a crash. I haven't seen anyone do FPS yet, but some guy claims he played it for 15 minutes and will put it on Youtube. Everytime I see the game crash to desktop I keep hearing an airhorn in my head.

I have any number of games I could be playing right now or comedies I could be watching on Netflix, but this is the most hilarious gaming experience I've ever had.

Then his Star Citizen game crashes for the third time in 15 minutes.

It's like if everyday you sent your not-very-bright little brother to the store with $1 to bring back some gum. Day after day, week after week, month after month, he comes back empty-handed. No money, no gum, no explanations; just a big dumb smile.

Then one day, it happens. He comes back home with a handful of Bazooka gum that looks like it's been sitting in the sun since 1997. It's not even pink anymore, there's no flavor to it, and it chips two of your teeth the instant you bite down on it.

But he did it. He finally did it. He brought home some gum and he's just beaming like he won a Nobel Prize.

The 2.0 Experience, everyone.

Just out of curiosity.

If Robert's insane company goes backrupt, isn't it possible that some other company would just by the intellectual property and all the game assets, and just leave all the commitments behind?

In case of bankruptcies, don't the usually try and recover as much for the real creditors, not for idiots who bought JPEGs?

Out of all the bullshit this enterprise has spawned from "donations", which do you think failed Hollywood producer Chris Roberts would most likely hang onto:

- his generic sci-fi game that is drowning in scope-creep from the demands of autistic space-pirate-rapists
- his state-of-the-art MoCap studio

If ( :lol:

when) this whole thing goes tits-up and nobody buys the rights to "the game", you will probably find that every one of the umpteen corporations involved will be liquidated to pay debts except the one that owns that MoCap studio. Everyone will have contributed to Chris Roberts being Andy Serkis' bitch for C-list MoCap projects, but at least he's back in Hollywood, baby! And that'll mean a big role for his leather muppet wife in some god-awful movie!

What are we up to now, $96M?

BadNewsBaron is streaming and has this on his screen:

Crash count: 48
Time since last crash:
Longest playtime: 38:00

This definitely seems like a great way to spend an entire day.

Edit: just crashed again six minutes in. 49 now. :v:

BDSSE, saving PC gaming, etc

I haven't seen a Twitch stream on this game over 1100 viewers and The Wulge gave that dude $100 for crashing every ten minutes on the first day of whatever the gently caress this is.

I'm imagining someone several thousand dollars into SC who is also living off of Soylent. He thinks he's living in THE FUTURE but will die broke and alone from cadmium poisoning before the game ever comes out.

His tombstone will read SEE YOU IN THE 'VERSE.

Here are some questions about SC streamers.

What is the cost/specs of a PC that is able to "play" Star Citizen and stream the effort as well as a webcam/mic to commentate on it live? Have they ever released specs on "recommended machines"? I haven't bought a new PC in six years and my current one is a terrible shitbox that I can't even upgrade. What monstrosities are these Twitch streamers running, and why are people paying them for the privilege of watching them crash every six minutes? A rig capable of doing all this has to be over $1000, right?

Please note that I am ABSOLUTELY NOT asking these questions because I would like to start a Twitch channel of me playing drunk and bad Hearthstone to pay the bills while I go back to school yet again.
