The goons who created Slenderman need to expand the mythos to include The Lesnick as his arch-nemesis. Expand it a LOT. Ben fat edit: great minds

Pope Corky the IX posted:Do you think Ben just needs a hug? No. Ben is a good egg, he's just a misunderstood super nerd This is what he believes The truth is he is a lovely person who tries to power over that with robotic human pleasantries His Twitter is full of offering his ear or shoulder to cry on when people tell him of their hardships "Yeah cancer sucks, rear end cancer ? HM yeah probably not as bad as going blind .... did you see my wing commander tattoo ?" And joke answer , you'd need 3 people holding hands in a circle to hug him Blue On Blue fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jan 24, 2017 |

Next we're going to meet a man who never wipes his rear end. There's nothing wrong with him- he's just so rich, he doesn't have to!

Those people all look defeated. I know that even in a successful enterprise, people will often look downtrodden and disengaged in a meeting, because corporate meetings often suck, but why post a picture of people looking like that?

If they play around in a live stream or photo, they get chastised for acting like retards and not paying attention to developing a game. If they get serious, focused and look like they're actually concerned in a meeting, they get chastised for doing so.

No, it's the transparent attempts to show there's some life in the office even in the absence of tangible progress. This entire charade is the equivalent of keeping a spreadsheet open on your computer to convince the boss you're working. Also they don't look serious or concerned - the guy in the front right is surreptitiously dicking around on his phone.

MARKETING GURU - "We've done some deep diving on this, Chris. We've found there's a lot of talk of a "stimpire" around the net and we think it may help you to re-capture the gaming zeitgeist if you included it in the lore of the 'verse. " SANDI - "Oh wow, that'd be so meta" CHRIBS - "JUST DO IT"

The utter lack of professionalism from him is proof that he is WAY over his head and has no idea about how to lead his company that was given to him on a silver platter by turbo nerds that had their heart strings pulled.

Glad we have qualified psychologists to make such deductive reasoning. I mean, it could be Mario Run or it could be a schedule or agenda update, but yeah - immediately peg the negative.

TrustmeImLegit posted:Well we know that most of the people funding the game don't play it. Only about 1000 people have played Star Marine for more than 2 hours as of a few weeks ago. Most backers don't give a rat's rear end about Star Marine. They are only interested int he Persistent Universe game.

If they get serious, focused and look like they're actually concerned in a meeting, they get chastised for doing so. I would never say "gently caress them for trying" because "trying" is all they can accomplish. I, like you, disagree with putting them in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" dilemma because CIG is incapable of "doing" which unfairly damns them by default. Of course they're concerned in a meeting. They're also concerned at their desks, concerned when they drive home, and in a year or so, their biggest backers will be concerned with the right way to tie a noose. Everything and everyone tied to CIG will eventually be moved to concern.

How about we see zero pictures of people at work and more actual results of that work such as a single design document for promised features, a vertical slice or a single piece of loving gameplay from this single player campaign? Ask yourself why this photo is the only evidence of work being done.

Imagine if CIG hired a competent, professional marketer, with the instructions to show their backers all the progress and work going toward Star Citizen. Then think how long it would take this professional marketer to realize that CIG is not making any progress worth reporting, and that it's not actually a real game development company, but rather a large group of industry wannabes given over $140 million to enact a multinational piece of wish-fulfillment performance theater. Enter The Dragon, the "best marketer since she was a very small girl" who equates tweeting with work, meetings with progress, and attention with success. It's to the point where I'm half-expecting a tweet of a turd floating in a toilet bowl with the caption "Network engineer getting ready to flush this morning's donuts!" Sandi was given an impossible task: keep backers aware of our progress. It takes someone this incompetent to do the impossible; she's too dumb to fail. Hence we get regularly scheduled humor nuggets. I, for one, am glad of it.
