You though I sounded offended? Which part was the trigger? 'poo poo' or 'nuggets' or the part when i did not ask him to kill himself?

I think I shat that term out accidentally and it is not in wide use yet. i hope you get the idea though. It is something like the PC BROs in the last South Park season. Check it out. It's not anime but you can build up tolerance to a certain type of jokes there

South Park stopped being funny a decade ago, much like your posting.

G0RF posted:

You are certainly consistent in your consequentialism.

If I understand your earlier comments correctly, your basic take on Star Citizen is-- "if the promised game gets delivered, I don't give a crap about what it took to deliver it."

A couple of additional hypothetical questions.

1) If it was discovered, after the launch of a decent-not-great Star Citizen PU, that Chris and Sandi had laundered $10M in backer funds in the course of the project, would you shrug it off and say, "Hey, the game got made- so what do I care?" Or would you say, "The game could've been better if they'd spent some of that $10M on better procedural generation or whatever-- I feel cheated."

2) If the game that is delivered is a fraction of what was promised (and thus sucks to play), and yet you invested time and money supporting the project because you were led by Chris Roberts to believe it would be the end-all-be-all-of-space-sims, would you be mad at all? Or would you just abstract away your own frustrations because you feel no empathy for your prior self?

1) So long as it is apparent that a reasonable amount of effort went to delivering the game as promised, who cares? There's a point of diminishing returns in development effort that, after a certain point, it doesn't matter how many more resources you throw at something, it's not going to change the core experience of that thing. If I'm not satisfied with the core experience and it's apparent that enough effort and resources were put into making something that could be enjoyed, well, there's not much that $10M in extra polish is going to do to change the fundamental issues I've got with it.

2) Well, I don't actually have any money invested, and I don't think it wil be the end-all-be-all of space sims, but I'd probably be disappointed at the loss of a potentially good game experience and move on. I mean, what, am I supposed to mope because a product didn't turn out the way I wanted it to? I follow the game and its development because I like doing so at the present time, not out of some banking of positive feelings that it will deliver later, so what would it gain me to spend time bemoaning it if it isn't good?

Also, why would SC of all games be a good fit for any of that? You might as well make it a module for the latest Codemasters GRiD game for the connection between game and reality it would offer.

It sounds like what he's really asking for is a KSP mod, and I'm sure there is one already (except for the commentary stuff).
