that was actually him being a huge loving liar which apparently worked since that's how people remember it now.

Originally, during all the backlash when the ship actually came out he went and came back with a response about how an artist had decided to make changes to the model without telling anyone so of course he didn't know.

We roasted that as him obviously not knowing what's going on, and them selling a two seat ship that spent months in development as a single seat with nobody apparently noticing or caring it wasn't the concept ship they sold everyone.

Then, months later, he came and said "the guy in charge quit a long time ago and nobody can answer the question" which is apparently all anyone remembers anymore, absolving Ben of his blame at being a clueless "Master of Ships"

It's that kind of poo poo that makes it hard to feel bad for that guy. He knows he is not being honest with people with that nonsense. I wonder what his perception of Chris is now since he has been able to actually work with him. I would be curious to know if Chris has ever gone off on him or if they treat Ben like the shop pet mascot. What is the saying? "Burn your idols early"?

A Note to Literary Critics Everywhere (Intelligent Readers Can Skip This Part)

Xanthippe is not a play about a shrew, or a taming of a shrew. It is, in fact, a comic dialog, an anti-dialog--a parody of Plato's Symposium and Plato's dialogs in general.

Didn't he also say he played through all of SQ42?

When I read that I assumed they meant loading the levels from the console, and traversing each map. The levels exist, but they are in varying states of completion. You don't need final art, mission scripting, or AI to walk across a map.

I never forgot he said that. And what I find alarming and probably shouldn't is that we all know SQ42 in demo as well as full release, was due in 2016. Didn't happen. So here we are 2017 and that TZ dirty hippy guy comes out in front of the camera and says they are halfway through finalizing ideas for the tool to make the AI. No tool, no AI development. Right? I hope I am not missing anything so far. Because you guys here that know this poo poo do a really great job of teaching someone like me that knows nothing about development to be able to understand the concept and practices really well. So here is where I need some clarification, does AI come before content creation or is it something that can run independently during development and dropped in later on the assets that are needed?

Seems oddly similar to the "Illfonic spent 12 months and many millions of dollars making an FPS and then we realized none of it would work with the poo poo we had."

Whoops! Sorry!

Makes me think about paying taxes. I like to think that all my taxes go to providing down on their luck families with enough food to feed their children. Other people might like to think all their taxes go to buying 1/47th of a cruise missile to keep our country safe.

I like to think that my SC pledge went to paying 1/10,000th of the Illfonic bill for which CIG received nearly nothing useful since CIG are incompetent morons.

This grizzled old geologist I used to work with would give me poo poo for drinking cadillac margs while he was drinking Budweiser. I'd start explaining to him that his beer was like 3.2% alcohol and my marg was at least 15%. He would happily ignore me while trying to shove one of those little umbrellas that he pulled out of the bar service caddy into my drink.

He actually just died a month ago. RIP Clint. I will pour out Budweiser piss water in your name forever after.

What if Derek was never brought up, ever?

Just had a thought. What if Derek didn't get the ban and refund treatment, and these idiots at CIG weren't so stupid aggressive by basically banning people for just asking people questions, forcing their own indie underdog narrative bullshit image, and maybe not hiring socially maladjusted, desperate, petty, completely unqualified people like Ben Lesnick...

It would still be the great scam, but holy poo poo, all the negative posters here would've been reported and banned.
