Dear M'Lady

I am writing to inform you that your husband Dr Derek Smart has been very rude about an unreleased video game that I like very much. Not only that, but he also implied that his own video games are good despite the fact that I disagree. He is also guilty of redirecting me to his blog on several occasions.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

So… do any of the more public people at CIG do anything that's actually related to their job title?

The CEO doesn't seem to do a lot of executive-level managing, instead focusing on minutiae like directing mocap sessions, directing art, wiring media-bashing posts, and failing to deliver long-term planning documents.

The VP of marketing seems to do a lot of community relations stuff, acting in mocap sessions, appearing in community-cheering videos, and failing to actually generate any marketing — you know, outreach to new potential customers — for the game.

We two instances of some kind of community manager. One whose biggest claim to fame is to “run” a minute fan website, where ”managing” meant ”my way or the highway” and who has kept it up in his new position; who keeps lying to the community, but who, to his defence, appears in the aforementioned community cheering videos, which is at least somewhat related to his role. And one that doesn't seem to do much “managing” at all…

We have a video editor who keeps appearing in front of the camera as opposed to, as one might expect, in the editing booth that prepares those videos for public consumption.


The only one I can think of that seems to at least appear to be in the right place is Erin, although he's been roped in to waste time on community cheering as well, when it doesn't seem to be what he wants to do (or is any good at). At least here is someone who has a history of getting poo poo done and producing games.

There you go. It's fairly obvious that there's people that simply copy something that looks right without knowing 'why' they're sticking aerodynamic surfaces on a spaceship, or resting several hundred tonnes on little sticky legs, or that a rotating section needs a bloody good reason.

Nah, it's spinning bcuz COOL. All the SC ships have some sort of artificial gravity, I think. Either way if you feel like being a math nerd, right now the Orion is listed at 170 meters in length.

I'm having trouble comprehending this melting/unmelting garbage. As far as I can tell you can take a jpg you've paid for with money and "melt" it by turning it into store credit, but to "unmelt" it you have to buy it again with cash? I don't really want to dig into this so if any one here knows what any of this gibberish actually means then i'd be grateful to hear about it

Also, it's lovely that the new narrative on reddit is that "DS doxxed their children" when it wasn't even DS that linked Sandi's IMDB public profile and that now that's the justification for going after his children.


Serious, burn it all to the ground. This is the most toxic community I've even trawled and in my "internet career" I've done Stormfront and religious fundamentalist groups. Jesus Christ this unholy combination of delusion and nastiness is just the worst, you usually get one or the other.

I think that is it. You can unmelt things you've previously owned but can't currently purchase, too. I think.

some artist tasked with making spaceship assets got bored, decided to take a walkabout, noticed someone left the server room door open, wandered in, saw some 40u racks, and was like "yeah... this is what would be in space"

Don't laugh, someone had to do it. The Starliner specifically has hot swappable servers for in-flight entertainment. During flight they might fail and you or a hired NPC has to swap them out. I wonder how long that animation is. It's sad but true.

Yeah I mean you pretty much nailed it. The "unmelt" feature doesn't enable a user to spend their saved up store credit on the unmelted ship. So if I have a $110 Freelancer, but then melt it and buy a $180 Super Hornet (you know, ADDING $70 to my pledge total) if I decide I hate my Super Hornet and really wanted the LTI Freelancer all along, the only way I can get it back is by paying ANOTHER $110.

I'd just like to say that Naval Action is out on steam early access some time in the next 2 days. It has an open world, up to 25v25 ship battles, lots of ports to capture, ultra violence realism and boring PvE missions. Plus, it's fairly expensive at 40 bucks.

Basically, everything SC ever advertised, but set in the Caribbean.
