TTerrible posted:Beer, don't take this the wrong way - but are you heading back into the SC fold? You've been pretty quiet in here recently, and when you do post you're not as scathing as you used to be. Also, that guy that did the promo machinima that was trying to get CIG to NOTICE ME SENPAI said you'd helped out. LOL gently caress no. This thread is going insanely fast and believe or not I do have a life. Work has really spun up and we're nearing the end of the build season for a high school robotics team that I volunteer for (FIRST Robotics Competition). As for Parias, he put in a fuckload of work into that and deserves kudos for it. I gladly helped him because that is an awesome project and I remain impressed with what he's done with CIG's assets. I feel he did a remarkable job of capturing the essence of what SC could have potentially been had CR not gotten in his own way. It made me fondly remember the early days. Personally there's not much to say. CIG isn't going to change, we haven't seen any meaningful progress from them since December, and the spergs are too loving stupid to consider the possibility that things are hosed. My own involvement is largely tangential at this point as I have burned all bridges.

I love the pretense that this is for people who have injuries or just don't like touching toilet paper, but halfway through we get the real target market with "There are advantages to being a big guy." What advantages, fatass? Not having to get up for more cake because anything weighing less than twenty pounds anywhere near you is pulled into gravitational orbit?

I have legit been eating less food due to reading this thread. That .gif of Lesnik hauling himself up off the couch? Horrendous. That's negligence and then some. Thanks Star Citizen. I guess dreams can come true? Also Derek, just out interest, who might actually be worthy of the title, 'visionary' in games development? I'm wondering if it's almost always a red flag to see that adjective for a developer or game designer etc, or if it used to be a compliment with less connotations? Granted with so called 'journalists' out there in the games industry playing fast and loose with facts, let alone exaggeration, it can be difficult to discern who was the first to coin a moniker, or hang a lofty title or expectation, but I was just wondering how you felt about that description, 'visionary' and if anyone has actually earned the title in the field you work in.

Romes128 posted:im the sugar free redbull The pictures posted here always show him drinking something like a Diet Coke or that Redbull. Like holy poo poo, someone tell Ben to stop drinking that poo poo and drink nothing but water. Go do some walks. If RSI has any sort of good insurance, they'd also cover most of the cost of weight-loss surgery for him because I'm sure that would qualify as needed for his health. If that company cared about their employees at all they would get this guy the help he needs to lose that weight. At my job I've seen people who have been very overweight, not to that level but still pretty bad, and our insurance let them get surgery and also take short-term disability to recover from it. They both have lost a ton of weight and look much better because of it. But we already know that company doesn't give a poo poo about their employees.

To some extent I do feel sorry for Ben. Initially at least, it must have felt like a dream job to work for CIG, getting regular access and attention from his hero, and being at the very heart of the action. Over time, with the endless delays and buggy releases, it must have started to become a very depressing situation to be in, with no easy way to get out. I know he wasn't exactly a svelt figure to begin with, but seeing his weight balloon until he's sure to be in the medical category of 'morbidly obese', I think it must be a symtom of the stress he's under, with only comfort eating as an outlet. I suspect nowadays he's viewed as a 'useful idiot' by the senior management, and wouldn't be surprised if Sandi, Ortwin el al treat him as an object of ridicule (behind his back probably). For his own sake he should get out before this shambles of a project implodes, start taking care of his health, and begin to re-establish his sense of self-worth.

If this stupid rear end game has idiots who proclaim themselves millionaires throwing over 30k at it, then one of them should offer to pay for Ben's weight-loss surgery. At least then you'd actually be helping a human being and not buying worthless jpgs.

I know folks have said it before, but never mind the 100 million dollars which have gone up in smoke, the real tragedy here is that we are watching an episodic documentary of a man killing himself in slow motion.

I'm sure he's paid handsomely to do pretty much gently caress all but sit around with Santa eating and bore everyone about Wing Commander. His health though is a disaster and he'll probably be the first SC death the way it's going. Sort your poo poo out Ben.

Being that fat I think he has few opportunities to be anything other than a subject of ridicule I sometimes think we should drop the fat jokes a bit because it detracts from other more legitimate criticism of him, but then I see some gif I've never seen anything like him outside freak shows on TV

Darkpriest667 posted:ok serious non shitpost here. I wouldn't imagine any significant consequences. The huge publishers have to at least consider their long-term reputation so that they can sell you FIFA 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Indie devs will continue making smaller games which may be good or terrible. There will probably be some people trying to recreate the golden goose that is Star Citizen by making outrageous promises, but I don't see the entire game industry turning to dream-based business plans.

D_Smart posted:Indeed. I just want to make games, man. If I had the money to do everything I wanted to do, that would be a different story. Which is why, over the years, I stick to making sure that features in my game are solid, that the gameplay is solid and that those who buy and play my games, know that sacrifices have to be made. That's why people who buy my games, buy my games. I tend to be quite clear in my goals and there is nothing democratic about my process. My design. My game. My decisions. No I get it, and it's a good thing that you've maintained your scope of vision. I don't really care about how you say something, you wouldn't be you if you weren't bombastic, I just care about what you're saying. Perhaps a big part of the problem is that I simply haven't seen anything about your gameplay that sets it apart. Much of what you've shown, such as with the flight model, hasn't really struck me as terribly fun or engaging. But as you say it's your design and your game and clearly there's an audience there that you've captured. I wouldn't expect you to change your vision any more than you would expect me to change what appeals to me as a gamer. With respect to your financial scope I suspect that's another reason for the negativity. People look at how you are attacking Star Citizen and assume you're competing with it. Clearly, given your budget, that's not the case. I suspect your target market segment is closer to Angels Fall First?
