Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I see they're bringing in the new year, and reinvigorating the backers credulous natures with this incredible "progress" report.

Nothing says "WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO BUILD THIS GAME" like suddenly directing your pissed-off backers' attention to a completely vestigial feature, like the world's worst stage magician trying to distract the audience from his fumbling attempt at a card trick by making GBS threads his pants on stage.

What once was at attempt at game development has completed its evolution into an out-in-the-open, full-on scam.

Well. I wasn't expecting that for vandull because they are full of claws and points and sharp stuff. I'd of expected their written language to be more "claw mark-y" than with sensual curves everywhere. But I'm not a linguist. :shrug:

Honestly it looks exactly like what I'd expect "grey aliens" that have the big eyes and have ufos to write as. This is probably on purpose because they guy was probably told "make an alien language".

The other one is like Japanese, so I guess they are our Asian aliens?

I remember back in late 2014 I was at PAX Aus at a bar near the venue, sinking a few frothies and having a parma and I noticed these people to my right dressed kind of oddly, they had a section of the beer garden sectioned off for them.

They all seemed really happy and excited. I looked at the sign and it said Star Citizen. "I wonder what that is" I said, my mate (goon) told me about Star Citizen and how it was hosed. I felt I learned a lot that day but I never knew it would be the beginning of something wonderful.

Also, the 2 PAX's since I have noticed 0 people with SC poo poo, nor has there been a section of a bar consumed by them.

Makes ya think. Maybe Cymelion was there that day.

So yeah, they probably based it on Japanese.

diet is 60%, exercise is 20%

As the saying goes, "You can't out-exercise your mouth".

Upping protein levels in your diet is a great help. You don't need to go full-on Atkins ketosis levels (unless you a bodybuilder on the run up to a competition), just cut out as many superfluous simple carbs from your diet as possible (bread, pasta, pastries of any kind, and definitely no coke/pepsi style drinks) and up your protein intake a bit (tuna, chicken breasts, egss are all good options). I lost a ton of weight this way a few years ago and didn't even feel like I was on a diet at all, I was just eating slightly differently to normal.

That's why Skyrim will never be very good or immersive. It's just another reason why we should never play other lesser games. Thank heavens Chris Roberts is coming down to save pc gaming from substandard junk like that. :allears:

"Chinese name for" is somewhat redundant since the people of Taiwan speak Chinese.
