TTerrible posted:Phone posting too so I can't link it - but he claimed there was going to be a congress of the damned led by Croberts in LA in two weeks. They were going to outline how they were going to cancel things and cut features going forward.  So now Chris and company are cutting and cancelling features from the game? What?

The real showpiece will be the shockingly bad cut scene nonsense showing shiny A lister's reading Chris appalling script . I've gone and found it. Witness.

There's that pic floating around of like 10+ dudes that apparently work CS for CIG? How little do they have to do to get such a huge ticket backlog? Or how many tens of thousands of tickets a month do they get to fall so far behind? The whole thing is mind boggling.

 The Chris Report From day one I never got this adulation for Chris Roberts. I mean, compare two games that came out in 1993, X-Wing and WC:Privateer. Both games were limited by the same hardware so the differences in cockpit views come from either terrible design choices or a terrible game engine. 1993 X-Wing  1993 X-Wing  1993 Wing Commander Privateer   1993 Wing Commander Privateer   Give Chris Roberts unlimited budget and time and, to the surprise of no one, this is what he delivers. TYOOL 2016 Star Citizen  TYOOL 2016 Star Citizen  If Chris Roberts is anything he is consistent.  There was never a time Chris Roberts was not a mediocre game designer, laughable writer, a terrible director and incapable of staying on budget or on schedule both in the games and in the movie industry. I mean, seriously... «Quick everybody, let's give this man $1xx million US American buckaroos and he'll make all our dreams come true!»  They gave unlimited cash and put no time constraints on the man that - in the imortal words of Ghostlight - brought us  FUKKEN CATTEBEASTS!  whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? And now it turns out that this man is also a terrible CEO?  No loving poo poo!smh, what the hell was everyone expecting? MeLKoR fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Jan 23, 2016 |

If this were true (or even if it weren't) I would have preferred them just using photoshop on a less full office to paste the same dude a few times in the background with sloppily colour-changed shirts and hats, kind of like the lonely kids on deviantart you put up photos of their room but with My Little Pony characters superimposed on their beds with a description that reads something like "Pony chilling on my bed." I mean there's a good reason I'll never get given a million dollars to make my ideas a reality let alone 100 million, and it's because there's always going to be a point during the inevitable collapse where I start doing things intentionally wrong to see if anyone notices how bad it's getting and save me from myself.

Fatkraken posted:All this "sticks" and "cups" bullshit it what's hosed. Civilised people use weights, preferably grams. A gram is a gram is a gram, no need to worry if a store has packaged something in an unusual way or if you've chopped something too finely or coarsely or left air pockets in your weird scoop. Plus no need to cram butter into a second container, just cut a bit off the block and weigh it. Actually, I do use a scale to measure flour, sugar, etc. by the gram since measuring by the cup can result in the amount being noticeably off. It was a tip I learned from Cooking for Geeks and showed to Bootcha in the course of our cooking lessons. In the US, butter almost always comes in sticks of 8 tablespoons each, or 113 grams. So use 226 grams if you decide to make my Thin Mints.

He pulled the charging handle on the Keckler-Parp Rotator 4Xf carbine jammed in his shoulder. The Pirates were on the ship, he could see the strobing glow of their weapons firing down the hall. The NPCs would be dead by now, no one left to manage the shields. XxXSnipA_trump16xXx, one of the boarders, appeared down the hall, weapon twinkling. The invader hit a glitch portion in the ship and warped outside the hull. His body was still in a T, lifeless outside the window. Soon, he would join XxXSnipA_trump16xXx in the void, arms out at a rigor mortis angle, his ship and boarders self destructing in a laggy fire of disconnecting player drops and server crashes. Another day in the verse.

Yes, they publicly announced the removal of the "Retaliator commercial" stretch goal, but since it was not from the holy mouth of Chris Himself, its not supposed to be "true" information.
