I still cannot get over the leap between "thing CRoberts insists will happen someday" and "thing that actually exists today" that shitizens routinely make.

Some gifs of the ATV(From reddit obviously):

ATV - Preview of 3.0 moons

"From Plant to Planet" (But that's Yela so is a moon)
https://gfycat.com/DimpledCelebratedAsiansmallclawedotter

Everything looks great in the CryEngine editor; and we've seen stuff like this (who remembers Nyx?) before. Once they get it running in the client; and it's not #justanotherlevel, I'd be impressed.

Also, it's easy to see why they chose to do moons first, instead of planets. Based on the amount of work, not to mention performance issues, moons don't require that much. So basically, six years later, they are where ED and all my games were - years ago.

One is where you are aiming, the other is where your gun is pointing at this moment.
If you turn your gun lags behind you or something.

Whatever sense that makes?

This Fyre Festival disaster going down right now seems like a fast forward version of Star Citizen.

http://ibankcoin.com/zeropointnow/2...-rule-involved/

quote:

What was set to be the opening weekend of trust-fund millennial debauchery in the Bahamas has turned into nothing short of Lord of the Flies. The Fyre Festival – organized by Ja Rule and some guy who’s scammed millennials in the past was hyped by models and advertised as a boutique luxury music festival held in Exumas, Bahamas. All inclusive tickets ranging from $4,000 – $12,000 were supposed to include a chartered private flight from Miami, private luxury tents, yacht rides, and performances from Blink-182 and about two dozen other artists.

It seems the US embassy is involved in rescue operations now, ie getting people flights back to the US. At least Star Citizen won't leave people stranded in foreign countries, unless a Citizencon goes really badly.

There's clearly exaggeration going on with some of the more concerning reports, but it's still fun to watch people blow tons of money only to get completely stiffed when reality rolls around.

I'm not sure where the legalese is, but the prize description only technically says "airfare". It doesn't specify round trip. It's also my general experience that prizes of trips include arrangements for two. This reward is specifically stated as being for one person. Taking a trip by yourself often kind of sucks. I wouldn't really want to take a trip by myself anywhere unless it was a business trip. I also wonder where they intend to book the hotel stay. Almost certainly coach class and the cheapest place that isn't a backpacking hostel.

It doesn't really matter in the end, as nobody is going to hit the goal. The lead person is still 1429 referrals away from the 2942 goal. That's lifetime referrals ever since the referral program started, what, 2-3 years ago? There's only a little over 3 months to go. I've never even heard of any of the people on the top 5. It's stunningly impressive they've gotten as many referrals as they have.

The game starts with "A CHRIS ROBERTS GAME" and fades into the dumb speech opening except because of Gary Oldman's refusal to do more mocap work the entire time he's wearing a helmet so you can't see his face, standing in a T-pose as an aide emotes for him due to injuries sustained at the hands of the creatures they could not mo-cap, the Vanduul. Then as the speech goes on it pans back to show it's you watching it, from across the room, still lying in your bed. With a series of grunts and farts you clamber out of bed as "FROM THE MAKER OF WING COMMANDER THE MOVIE" fades into view, then out against quickly then in again as your climbing out animation accidentally loops a few times. As you leave your room and walk down the hallway, a man carrying a box phases through a wall in front of you, then comes back with another box with "SQUADRON" written on the side, but as he turns it reveals "42" on another side of the box. Finishing walking down the hall, you step into the cafeteria, where NPCs are already dead all over the place, having all attempted to sit in the one space and killed each other with physics. Alone in this room with you is a black dude with a mop, the head of which has been shoved through the floor. He looks up at you and his bucket begins projecting violently around the room.

At this point it crashes to a dos prompt with "TO BE CONTINUED" printed as an exit error message.

Not salty though, infractions are like Purple Hearts on Fdev and there's no point in worrying about it when at the end of all this we might have a few infractions for getting a bit off-topic, but shills won't have a game to play. :D
