Hello Commandos

Sperglord posted:

The problem with Batgirl, Scott Manley, and the rest of the streamers is that they present an image of Star Citizen which is highly selective. Star Citizen exists in a reality-denying field, everyone talks about what will happen, how ship X or mechanic Y will work. Very few people talk about what exists today and it's relation to other games. The shitizens exist in this happy world of dreams and make-believe. CIG raises money in this happy world too.

As long as the streamers persist in dreaming about the future of Star Citizen, they will continue helping CIG fleece nerds everywhere.

You could show a picture of godzilla taking a massive poo poo on the burning remains of the CIG offices and some people would say 'meh, a small setback' and empty their college funds into CIGs pockets.

I'd like to see a statistics breakdown of someone trying to play Star Citizen for 4 hours. What fraction of the time has the game running, not running, crashing, etc.

But, that'd be more QA work than CIG does, so...

You see, computer games code is a lot like modeling clay. First you have to mix it with water and let it get to the right consistency, but then you can basically shape it into whatever you want.

It's also diabolically stupid - all the money made after the release of a game is profit apparently? I guess the development of these games is paid for with magical fun bucks that spawned out of nothing, rather than from investments and loans that are expected to be paid back from sales revenue.

Ben Lesnick is a giant idiot child.

Also it's insane to think Star Citizen doesn't have any profits. What the gently caress are those ship sales and whatnot, just to keep the lights on? If that's the case (and it seems they are saying as much with the denial of refunds now) how can cultists not see this as a problem? CIG is essentially making just enough money to pay bills, and they're one unforeseen expense away from a disaster?

Maybe they shouldn't have spent insane amounts of money on:

Moving to LA
mo-cap studio time
mo-cap studio itself in LA
Buying that tacky airplane furniture
Super expensive spaceship door thing
Ridiculous coffee maker(s)
Trips to Monaco
Etc. etc.

Just that poo poo alone could have saved them more money than I'll probably see in my lifetime. But oh well, they couldn't possibly refund me my $35 dollars, no that money is long gone! :jerkbag:

Pretty much, but generally there is a lot of hassle getting in game (infinite loads / server full / other bullshit errors) and once you are in you are in for a while

Unless you do something crazy like warp / go through a door, then it's anything goes

Star Citizen is the only game I own that I have to hard reset my PC sometimes

I don't get that "drat Americans" thing because I haven't been on here for too long...

Regarding the recipe: I'll do, gonna get some ribs tomorrow and do it over the next couple of days. (pure text recipe is boring IMHO). Haven't made them this year anyway. It's actually very easy, and in the US you also get the basic ingredients more easily. Try to find a butcher here who knows what "baby back rips" are and who doesn't immidiately call the police if you say you "need them, by tomorrow".

Guys it takes years to develop a good joke, let alone the best joke of all time.

You just don't understand joke development. Give this man more money!
