I edited this Fleetwood Mac song to be about the whales. My changes are in bold

quote:

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
We're better off apart let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page

(Close my, close my, close my eyes)
But I couldn't find a way

Tell me lies

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

without a publisher or investors holding the purse strings, we are pretty much the only thing that can provide any meaningful pressure on them to get things done and avoid being sloppy-- otherwise they would all be in a bar right now spitballing ideas over hard cider and cheezeburgers, and the game would release in 2032 with a third of the promised features

It's funny people bash COD because there's a reason it's so popular, same with Counter-Strike. They're quick and easy enough to play for like twenty minutes and have a bit of fun here and there, with intuitive controls and all the right ways to tickle your tism like the famous COD "thwibt" X hit marker. Next they'll say Minecraft is poo poo because it's not hardcore enough (because they're totally the people who it is marketed towards, and not little kids).

These people are so spergy they might make decent enough programmers and could use their latent autism to better themselves, but instead they choose to create a fantasy in their head where a loving atrocious, impossible to pick up, tedious space sim will somehow change the world of video games forever

"The backers won't know."

The mind boggles to wonder how many purchases have been made by Chris or Sandi operating purely under that logic. "The backers won't know." It is a hidden tax buried in the ledger. People here post pics of Restoration hardware furniture and porsches and what not -- these things aren't all hidden from us. But it would be amazing to know what HAS been hidden.

This is the secret ingredient to this shitshow that makes it impossible to turn away. Ignorant narcissists in power is old news, but add in crowd sourced fun money and the mind races at how rigged this scheme is for abuse. With no risk of consequence in sight, and layers of sycophants to keep the fantasy alive.

I hope out of this mess comes a minimum requirement of financial transparency for all institutions using crowd funded money.

When a representative of a company speaking in an official capacity (in this case the CEO) advertises a feature, and then a consumer gives them consideration on the expectation of that feature being there, then it's better than a "promise" it is a contract.

It also violates US regulations and state regulations concerning advertising.

Entitled is exactly the word to describe it, just not in the asinine context you use it.

I like the reply one guy gave to when told "you don't know software development" in another thread- more or less, he is an engineer for Intel and helped build their enterprise/supercomputer processors, and $100 million was just loose change down the back of a couch compared to what they were spending

it's like when you drive by your old childhood home, and then one day you get the nerve and walk up and knock on the door. and the new owners open up and invite you in, but there's 5 gankers hiding behind the front entrance, next thing you know youre trapped inside the closet while they're ordering pizza with your stolen credit card. suddenly gas starts filling the closet, but it's actually a vaccuum cleaner turned to reverse, and the closet is all dusty and you feel like you have allergies

Isn't there a 40k PS2 thing coming down the pipe?

Also a 40k space sim would be fairly interesting. What kind of stats do you give to a floating cathedral? How does it stack up against a floating ball of derelict transport ships?

Does it have a mixmaster?
