Space shirt with space fasteners. It's nice that the only time we can imagine CIG is being creative is when they likely hosed something up.

Ben is more ridiculous.

Sandi has produced content in the form of commercials and tickle porn. So the title fits somewhat.

Bootcha was silent for months while fuzzknot was in her manic phase. He'd pop in maybe once a month, say he doesn't care about SC poo poo anymore, and leave. So not *quite* entirely true.

This is true.

She got more and more vicious/weird about protecting Bootcha from Sandi because... reasons.

Bootcha was making a final Goon de yada thing that I don't believe ever happened. I hope they are both happy though! Moving on from Star Citizen isn't a bad thing, and hockey is a fun sport (I've never played, but I've ice skated some)!

Of all the people we have lost, I miss G0RF the most. That guy was absolutely terrific at delivering serious, in-depth, thoughtful and balanced articles on Star Citizen, especially among the greater context of other large, massively-delayed and over-hyped projects.

I hope he went on to a successful career in journalism.

Yeah, G0RF was in his own category of awesome. I'd like to see him back, but there's only so many ways you can write the same stuff.

Unlike Chris Roberts and the infinite refactoring machine, the people criticizing it get tired of it long before CR finds himself bored with it. There is some irony there to be had though.

I think this has been pointed out before but it just struck me how badly done that shirt is. Even if there were button holes, you still couldn't button it up like that.

Edit: and of course this was pointed out many times right below Lladre's post.

I didn't bother to add in other photo's because :effort: but basically on the wider angle shots you can clearly see stress on some of the lower buttons in a manner that does not convey "spacage fastners with no visual clue to having a place to fasten to"

The shirt itself looks disgustingly filthy. Like a super bad case of ring around the collar only on the outside of it.

Maybe he's doing the reddit underpants method of saving on laundry. Front, back, inside out front, inside out back.

I hadn't even noticed that. In this high-fidelity everything-sim, they've forgotten how a shirt works.

Guys, buttons on the right side go through holes on the left side (or the other way around for classic woman's outfit) — you don't glue the thing together, and if you do, there's no need to have buttons sewed in to begin with.

:cawg:

Truthfully, I was thinking they were more snaps... Oh! WAIT! Magseals! They are magnetic seals. Yeah, that's why there's no holes. Buttons are too 2000's!

Set up a booth or computer that replays Chris Roberts playing Star Citizen. Have your flyer be a picture of the chat system then and the chat system now, and a tag line "at least you got a pirate base a few years later, huh? 20 more until there's at least three places to visit! GET A REFUND CITIZEN"

And that's my creativity for a day. :)

It's been a ongoing debate/assumption on the RSI forums for years, there's always a thread going that can be summed up with:

"I'm buying lots of ships now so I can skip the grind and save money in the long run. CIG is going to make all these super expensive ships badass and unbeatable, and take literally years to earn in game. But its totally not pay to win."

I'm not sure what would be more hilarious: CIG just up and closing their doors one day and the whales lose their minds, or the game actually comes out and it takes just a couple weeks of play to earn the $1000+ ships, and the whales lose their minds.

But he doesn't appear to be showing up anywhere anymore except as a community manager.
And even in that role, he seems to only show up very rarely.

They wheeled him in and deployed him for the anniversary stream, and that's about it.

The Jensen trenchcoat from Deus Ex: MD that Hugh Errolson (ACRONYM) designed specifically for the game does this - the coat has two strips of magnets down the front *

So even if this was unironically Chris' intentional design, it's yet again an archerism.


* The in-game coat model was modelled after a real life prototype, which was completely functional. Not sure if the real one actually had magnetic closures - entirely possible it did.

I like this one further down because I love it when shitizens start trying to wrap their head around game mechanics which CIG has obviously given no thought to whatsoever.



So yeah, multicrew ships. What happens when the owner of the ship has to log off? The ship disappears and leaves the other 5 10 25 commandos floating in space? Or, the ship stays and the captains pride and joy gets smashed into an asteroid while he's logged off? Or all the crew get magically teleported back to a friendly station (totally not exploitable).

Don't worry though, I'm sure CIG has this all worked out with a system that will keep all players happy.
