Hobold posted:Its strange looking in on It goes both ways though. We do the exact same thing here. Like the Photoshop with Sandi and the doughnuts. Once the people who remember it are gone is it now reality? Reddit makes up fantasies to believe something. SA makes up fantasies to disprove and mock something. The only reason the SA side is more logical here is that, at this time, belief apparently means also wanting to be scammed out of every last cent of your money by a multinational company that is built on lies by liars. Though that's why we're here to mock it, too. There's other games out there with just as insane concepts that are impossible; but it's not the impossibility of the task that makes this interesting and heated. It's the hostile method CIG endlessly employs to make sure everybody knows they just want money, and will do anything to get your money. Lie? Absolutely. Just ask Sandi and her marine biology degree and shoe line. Company was built from the start with lies. In your face marketing? Yes. Can't have a paragraph come out of CIG without mentioning the next sale. Dubious intentions? Yes. Nothing CIG has done to date gives off assurance and confidence they can pull off even half of the technical promises that Star Citizen was literally sold to people on. Hostile marketing? Sure. Go buy your "Private server manual" from the CIG webpage to discover just the tip of the iceberg (  ). It gets worse with literal $1000+ digital goods selling not even close to being in the game. Technical misrepresentation? They sold the game DLC pieces on technology that doesn't exist. That multi thousand dollar ship requires more crew than they can even get functioning in their game today. Time not on their side? The alpha is getting old, the promises keep stacking up, and at over 5 years there isn't even a functional vertical slice yet. They are looking at multiple decades just to catch up with what they've already promised. CEOs you love to hate? Chris Roberts can't talk about technology to save his life, and barely knows how to use a computer. He's gone on video and showed the world he doesn't even know how to play his own game. Sandi keeps showing up as bit actor in school movie projects, usually using CIG equipment. Both still collect ungodly pay checks, and even backpaid themselves after the Kickstarter. They are the embodiment of greed, ignorance, and have no empathy for the project outside of the money. Terrible community? It's so bad even CIG shut down their own forums because people and their opinions were getting in the way of making money. If you think CIG values you outside of your money, you're kidding yourself. All in all, CIG deserve everything they get for bad press instead of that indie studio that may be doing the same thing, only not raking in millions by lies and deceit. It's this fact that no matter how many times people attack Derek and his games; it doesn't loving matter. Derek never ran a campaign based on lies to collect millions for a game he may or may not be able to make. His games being poo poo, Mass Effect being poo poo, any other game you want being poo poo, does not make CIG good and Star Citizen possible.

at times. Its like one of them will make some biased assumption to twist poo poo in their favor, and then another comes along to build off that.They keep this poo poo up soo long, what they're propping up as some fact or example, is nothing remotely like what they started with. It would be fascinating if it wasn't so loving stupid.

Colostomy Bag posted:Another national nightmare over. But someone did invest $10 in CiG marketing. If you're fascinated by the cess-pool that is international finance, this might tickle your fancy. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-05-17/why-did-a-chinese-peroxide-company-pay-1-billion-for-a-talking-cat Long story short, Chinese money is flooding into games companies as a way to diversify their cash holdings from a bottoming out industrial and building market. quote:Last year she oversaw Zhongji’s £315 million ($400 million) acquisition of Jagex Ltd., a U.K. studio that created the popular multiplayer fantasy game RuneScape. In 2016, the last year for which public filings are available, Jagex had sales of £74.4 million and after-tax profit of £28.8 million. “It’s a cash cow,” Pan says. Other deals are in the works. Her March visit to London is for negotiations with another game studio, which she won’t name. quote:There’s no small amount of financial engineering at play, say bankers and lawyers involved in the purchases. Chinese companies are betting that by adding game studios that have better margins than a stodgy industrial business, their stock price will rise. Regulators and investors in China focus almost exclusively on a company’s bottom line. In Shanghai, a company must show three years of profitable operations before listing. And once a stock is trading, it suffers if a company doesn’t have new sources of profit. With games, Butt says, “you can buy profit.” Hobold posted:Needs to come up with better names though.

So it's Friday. I've got my pants off and Kleenex at the ready. What stupid mistake are we forcing CIG to produce today? We need something that will really piss in the face of everyone. Something that will have them waving hands for at least a day or two before finding a way to thank CIG for the golden shower they have blessed on us all. Amazon taking over would be the best case. That would cause some Cirque du Soleil level of mental gymnastics.

Hobold posted:I thought they said no more CCU on concept ships? That change already too? "Zyloh | CIG@Zyloh-CIG Yesterday at 12:28 pm To ease concerns, we're not ending $0 CCUs. Specifically this change will eliminate $0 CCUs for a ship during its limited sale because we want limited ships to be limited. Having the ability to hold a free token to upgrade to a limited ship outside of its sale dates is not our goal. Some ships are limited for specific reasons, but generally speaking, when a ship becomes flyable, there will be a $0 CCU made available for the ability to swap to that ship, in the same way that $0 CCUs are still available right now for swapping between flyable ships."

Homestead worked flawlessly during the presentation, apart from all the bugs and generally amateur shittyness style of it. I'm as glad as Cymelion that we all have it so we can play it for ourselves... ...wait no, we don't, it was just more smoke and mirrors again.

I had bought the saffron originally for some really basic saffron rice. Having done that, I was looking for something different, but I really do want to learn to make a good risotto. I'm going to do some practice risottos, then go with this one. Nice avatar, Toast.

With all the food talk I want to remind everyone to cook with care and love; handle food the way you would touch a woman. For risotto, patience and refrain are actual ingredients, the application of which will yield a magical result. Hate boners and cooking don't mix.
