My favourite pizza topping is chicken, pepperoni, pineapple, anchovies and olives. And sometimes capers too if I'm feeling extra salty.

Looks like Sandi believes once the game is out, it will literally be everything promised and people will buy ships left and right for hundreds of dollars because they want to skip playing the game.

I think she is blissfully unaware that there is no way it will be, and the more if the game that actually comes out is exposed, the less it's going to look like the fabricated bullshit they wrote 10 page essays of the mechanics for.

Star Citizen is going to kill Star Citizens revenue stream.

Sq42 will kill Star Citizens revenue stream as well. Nobody is paying hundreds of dollars so they can endure a Chris Roberts movie. They want to be Captain Reynolds.

But that would require somebody at CIG to understand their own audience, and the marketing department seems more interested in hurting people and lying than it does in seeing how they can properly maneuver their manpower to maximize profits.

Sq42 is not the profit maximization unit. It's the sinker you want to add to Star Citizen as an expansion pack, or extra missions pack. Their focus is broken, but it's ok. It'll just make everything more exciting as time goes.

I think that you are right. She probably doesn't understand this "nerd stuff" and therefore has no clue what the ship appeal seems to have been, and why or when it would ever dry up. Of course, I get why space ships can be cool, but have trouble understanding the appeal of these hyper expensive ships that don't exist yet, so who knows.

You don't eat a whole anchovy, you bite off only a small part of it or break it into little pieces and spread it over the main dish. It's basically a seasoning in and of itself.

It's also a key ingredient in worchestershire sauce, fish sauce, and the good brands of caesar salad.

It wasn't a life simulator and it was sort of shallow, but it wasn't a "bad game" by any stretch. Plus the devs hyped up the hype with things that weren't in the game or barely above surface level in the game.

I found it A Bad Game. The basic mechanics are either crap (shooting) or highly irritating in some way (lovely flying - no cool stunts through ravines for you - and the dumb stamina bar and stupid tiny inventory) which makes the very shallow core gameplay loop incredibly tedious. Also, gently caress any resource/survival type game that forces you to manually craft lower level items or resources in order to build higher level resources or items, rather than automating the extra steps to save pointless busy work.

Considering that most of the guys who invested heavily into SC are either loners are hiding the fact they spent thousands on a game from their family.

I would say people who die will just have their email returned as deliverable when the eventual law suit tries to contact everyone involved.

Cause you know. There is never going to be a game.

Some guy says: "it's not a tech demo, we're actually showing off what this system that we built and that foundation is going to support. "

So nothing. Their system supports nothing. No evidence was "shown" of SQ42.

Am I misreading what he said?

Nope. They literally have nothing.

They're making demo cutscenes of things they will eventually maybe build, instead of building a playable demo featuring things actually developed.

So these demos have no progress besides maybe animations, models and set pieces they can reuse. This is continuing the CIG motto of graphics and movies first, gameplay- eh maybe someday.

But hey, movies!

And this is perfectly ok with the backers because

It's a bad game that was overhyped and sold as the be all end all and the second coming, has a developer literally hiding from the internet over how much bullshit he spouted about the game before release and it's hyper glitchy and crash-prone, even on the PS4

It is itself the best case scenario for Star Citizen barring some manner of miracle

Not too big on fish in general (except tuna... mmmm, meeercuuuryyyy), even less so on freshwater fish.
But people around me do like catfish and pike. My grandma used to fish and fry pike a lot, maybe why i don't like em now.

They're often used in stews here too.
