Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Marching Powder, are you drunk posting? Are you the guy who gets drunk and starts yelling at everyone and trying to pick fights? It's Saturday night and you're angrily critiquing posters in the Star Citizen thread.

At this point I think the first crow's dead, a second crow's started on the other eye, maggots are hatching and attracting fish which are in turn attracting gulls and the whole shebang is most of the way through the Bay of Bengal and well on its way to the Indian ocean by now.

Chris is a techno-visionary like Steve Jobs and if you can't handle his exacting perfectionism at every level of design than you don't belong at CIG.

But also some intern can just take over and crap out a golf-swing mechanic as a core feature of the game and Chris probably just didn't notice, and then that feature was shown to the public. Again without Chris knowing about it. This happened all the time at Apple.

Ships lose seats, game loses modules, ultra fun, engaging and innovative scanning mechanics got replaced with a golf swing. Someone needs to warn Chris of what is going on right under his nose. He is too trusting.

There's a difference between simplification and accessibility. One's making sure your tutorial is comprehensive, your mechanics well explained, your controls generally intuitive. The other involves golf club-styled mechanics.

I'm highly amused that after this obvious shitshow of a hilariously broken game and all of the consistently lovely actions by the highest level people in the company, that the ELE is coming in the form of a golf-swing meter and two fairly innocuous words that came from Chris's doughy jowls.

Can someone explain to me why Croberts uses the term MVP at all, and why this is seen as a good thing?

Minimum viable product. Minimum. Why would I loudly proclaim that I will give you the least that I can get away with?

because idiots believe that 'minimum' includes everything that they consider important but leaving out the things they don't. this thought process is the same and true for 500k different people with different social problems. it is soon going to become a massive loving deal.

Because he's not good with regular words so everything has to be made to sound special, even when the actual meaning of the special term would sensibly interpreted completely differently from what he intends.

Compare “refactoring” (meaning, not actual refactoring, but trashing work and starting over), or “never been done before” (meaning, he wasn't the one doing it when it was all the rage, 10 or 20 years ago), or “unique” (meaning, it's been done, but found to be a bad idea so no-one does it that way any more).

MVP is just another term he's latched on to because it lets him say that they won't deliver the game they sold, but without saying that they won't deliver the game they've sold.
