Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Since I'm going for the quad post, what the gently caress is a "stand"? I've heard people talk about it in regards to anime, but I've never been able to extract the meaning from any context I've found it in.

Final review, for the schedule, for the patch, that was supposed to be out last year. The schedule for the patch that was due 5 months ago.

:psyboom:

I can't wrap my head around how people keep eating this poo poo up like its totally normal/expected.

"WE WILL GIVE YOU 3.0 BY YEARS END!" *Six Months Later* "HERES THE ROAD MAP FOR THE 3.0 PATCH!"

The ELE was going to be no 3.0 schedule this week, but CIG seems to be delivering for once.

This at lest shows true open development. It's not that they where ever keeping the schedule from the Citizen, it's that they themselves never had one either.

I don't know you employ over 300 people, have 140 million plus in funding and don't have schedules.

I'm incapable of sufficiently lowering my expectations to meet reality when it comes to commandos. I have a concept of the dumbest a person can be and still be capable of operating a computer and dressing themselves that I keep adjusting lower and lower and SC cultists reliably blow past it.

Getting hyped for the release of a schedule.

Maybe the funding tracker is actually accurate and completely comprised of fuckwit funds. A few thousand absolute idiots getting second mortgages and blowing inheritances.

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.

in classic CGI fashion they are waiting until the 11th hour for this poo poo

the best time to get a CEO to review a schedule for a patch that was due 4 months ago is apparently 20 minutes before the end of the work day on the last day of the week you promised it on

most :smith: part is if you look at the replies to the tweet it's a bunch of folks in Europe saying things like "hey guys, it's 2am here already...you gonna...you gonna post soon or...?"

Imagine that Clark Kent is not Superman but that he can instead materialize Superman standing next to him, that's a stand. Also, only other people who have stands can see Superman. So you can give the superman-stand all his loving ridiculous powers and still have some sense of danger in your dumb comic because while Supes is almost invulnerable, Clark is not.

In my defense, I've followed JoJo since the early nineties.

In CRoberts constant lust for "realism" he constantly trips over what actually makes game immersive and just furthers makes things that would make his game impossible to work with things like VR.

Pressing E or whatever to vault and having your character fail at it is actually incredibly intrusive and will instantly pull you away from what you are doing, reminding you that you are playing a lovely game.

I think it's funny that you can direct your character to do a thing and instead of do a thing they slowly go "yeeeeaaaaahhhh... no."

Imagine a game where you give commands and if your avatar doesn't feel like it they don't do it. But I guess if it's a regenerating bar it won't be any different than like a mana bar or something.

But all this mocap can't go to waste. It's what makes games.

I can't believe they are making this big of a deal out of a schedule.

I guess they think if they schedule real hard the work will magic itself finished as well?

In the history of CIG, they met like one or two deadlines early on? Are people supposed to actually take this seriously?

Yes. Yes, friend. Of course they are. :allears:

Because don't you see CR looking at it? His magic touch is there.

I've noticed the bar being steadily lowered by fans over time. First it was delivering everything, then 100 systems (with stretch goals coming later), then an MVP with a handful of systems, then SQ42, and now I'm seeing some of them being satisfied with 3.0. When in reality we are going to be hearing more about rewrites and new technology buzzwords since CIG still has a long way to go after 3.0.

It is a weak show of faith when your fans don't have the courage to state that the completed game will come out and prove the doubters wrong. They don't even talk or dream about it anymore. Maybe if CIG completes enough milestones the resulting product will resemble a game, that's about all they can hope for at this point in time.

I still expect that whatever gets released as 3.0 will bear minimal resemblance to the featureset they've promised. So there will definitely be a lot of work to do, and if CIG can limp onward long enough they'll just kick the can down the road again, and a dwindling cadre of shitizens will pin all of their hopes on the magical 4.0 making all their dreams come true.

Evocati testing starting around June 5th, but backend won't be done until the 16th and networking by the 26th. What could possibly go wrong? June sounds nicer than July (or August).
