Yo, Sandi, let's kick it!
Tickle Tickle baby
Tickle Tickle baby
All right stop
Collaborate and listen
Chris is back with my brand new intervention
Something grabs a hold of whales tightly
Then I flow that a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, NO
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a jpeg like a vanduuuuuuuuuuul
Light up a stage and I turn a wax a chump like a candle

Break Down Sandi.

Ben rushes the speaker that booms
I'm killin' your wallet like a poisonous spoon
Deadly, when I play a dope Scam
Anything less that the best is a felony
Love it or leave it

You better hit bull's eye
The Roberts don't play
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll let Eric Solve it
Check out the jpeg while Sandi resells it

If this thread and the accompanying Discord channel plus tweets/blog represent Desktop Commander, than this game loving rocks.

In a way Desktop Commander is in Early Access right now. It will release when the game doesn't come out/is stripped down and then everyone else gets access to what will be an epic meltdown.

Pretty much. Imagine if SC looked like Rodina but had the same game mechanics it does right now. It's not even lone developer indie tier.

This is what I think.

I think it's been said before but perception is reality in a lot of cases.

It's how CIG can simultaneously be a "startup company" and also be a multinational mega corporation of superior production ability. In reality you can't have these two things together, but the narrative changes based on what people want to have.

On one hand Chris Roberts is the best developer breaking new ground, and then we have videos like Road to Gamescom or whatever it was telling a story of how they "tried real hard" and boohoo think of the people behind this game.

But none of this would be possible without graphics and production values like they have. If this looked like Rodina then it wouldn't be anywhere. People who download it load it up and it looks good, or even great, but it's very deceptive.

This game is breaking new ground that others haven't by really developing backwards. They started with graphics and are struggling to work backwards. Unfortunately though it's worked out great for them. If anything, they may start a new trend for Kickstarter games where graphics become more essential to gameplay and even technology that exists now.

Sure millions of dollars later you'll realize "Oh gee, I can't have 2,000,000 polygon characters everywhere, AI NPCs inside ships reacting to events as they perceive them, and all persistent with 1000s of players all doing different things in the same world. The guy running the Drink game can't actually look out his window and see another guy in another ship having a space battle wave at him while also turning to see a whole crew of players mining on a nearby asteroid."

But by the time that happens you'll be driving a Porsche with a mansion while collecting the salary of a Saudi Arabian oil minister. And to keep things going all you have to do is not admit that it's not going to happen. Just keep on going. :)

If you think Chris Roberts hasn't been told by his own people and many other people that his ideas just won't work, you're delusional. He chooses to ignore those warnings and just keeps on trucking. He knows right now without a shadow of a doubt Star Citizen is impossible as he promised it. That part is important because when SC does come out as an arena shooter with minimal content, that's the ballgame.

Star Citizens lack of "programmer art" is what made the Roberts millionaires. I fully expect other people to pick up on this and we'll see other early access or Kickstarter games pop up with amazing production values with no hope of becoming anything. People like pretty things. For a product, and I'm not saying awesome art is easy, but good/great artwork is probably the easiest component of a project to deliver. You can have an artist spend a month making something that looks as good as anything in other games. Unfortunately you can't have a programmer spend a month and connect that model to all of its associated gameplay events, especially if it has unique and custom sets. But that's the breaks.

CIG is an art house, pumping out great art. And they've made lots of people involved with it very rich. That train won't derail any time soon.

Looking forward to the moment he realizes that for as bad as Derek's games are, that Star Citizen isn't suddenly everything CIG promises.

I get a little annoyed when I see people ask this; Grabby hands have been in the game since the fund raising went passed $20 million and Roberts could not stop, since then his grabby hands has not stopped grabbing more out of spergs wallets.

(The earlier version was tickling hands 0.8 but he has developed them into grabby hands 1.7 since then.)

This is the typical dogpit stance when the roast is being sliced.

Middle doggo is my parents, named Benny

I thought these people obsessively watch this thread and catalogue everything? Do they not see us talking down Derek and some of the things he does? They just happen to forget these times? loving weirdos.

Get a god drat refund you stupid motherfuckers. Just because someone is an rear end in a top hat doesn't mean they aren't right. Do you only take truths in when there is a handie on the side and they call you a pretty boy?

If it is not about Star Citizen and the money you sunk into the scam, then what the gently caress is it about? Social justice? Of all the ills in this world this is what you are spending your time on? And to do it you are doing the very thing you decry, doxing and harassing. Worse, you do it in a hate subreddit. Sometimes I wonder if they are actually just racists.
