I think I'll take this opportunity to let everyone know that The Slow Motion Train Wreck that is our X-Com 2 campaign is about to go live again. A quick recap of the current situation for any commandos who are late to the party:
  • We've lost a few rookies, but so far casualties have been pretty minimal.
  • Kosumo bit the dust in our last mission for the night. I don't remember what happened, but it was probably very heroic.
  • If you believe the stories, I might have a potential future as a fetish cam whore.

So, Commander "40z" Meridian left us with quite the mess. It's now up to me, Commander "Sober" Meridian to pick up the pieces and lead our rag tag group to victory. Kosumo, you may be lost, but you'll never be forgotten. Whoever bought me this avatar, it's hilarious but I hate you. Come hang out!

It's fine. The problem with semi-related personal "drama" posts is they tend to start a weird shame spiral for the thread where posters go digging into peoples' personal lives and stuff, and it basically just ends with everyone here covered in poo poo. I guess where I'm sitting here is if it were me I'd probably remove the link to the imgur album and /refunds post - anybody who wants to find it still will, I'm sure - but I can also see why it's semi-related, even if it doesn't really offer up any shocking revelations about CIG staff.

Uh, two articles came out saying the game is great and real with no actual evidence. Multiple delays announced, no real gameplay has been shown. Basically just keeping on. Beet perfectly predicted that their next sale would be a stealth truck with combat capabilities, based solely on the name "Tumbril," which was pretty amazing.

Ah, the well known CIG holding pattern. Looking forward to some heavily scripted demo at a trade show and a promise of an update in 2 weeks that'll arrive 3 weeks late and have one of 17 promised features.

Star Citizen community was rather strongly divided between PvP players and anti PvPers (i purposley dont say PvE since the discussion wasnt about "whats cooler" but rather about outright banning or otherwise disallowing actions of player versus player content outside of Arena Commander)

that siege mentality over the years lead to the pro/active PVP vommunity quietly segregating from the rest.

But don't they know Chris is building a PVP slider that will allow both sides to play in harmony?

hahaha yes i remember that one... we used to call it "Schrödingers Slider" because depending on which CIG guy you asked it either existed or it didnt.

My suggestion always was to just implement a random slider in a menu with the label "PVP Slider" that has no function whatsoever. it would actually do the best Job.

The one thing we should have learned by now is that time and Star Citizen makes fools of us all. The SC faithful have been so sure that total success is just around the corner for so long. And the SC skeptics have been so sure that total collapse has been just around the corner for so long. And everyone has been wrong.

Star Citizen continues to defy expectations in all directions. It lumbers along blatantly defying the laws of physics, finances, and project management and it just can't die. But it can't live either. And everyone involved, with each passing month, finds themselves thinking "surely it can't continue". Surely they have to release something. Surely there has to be progress. Surely they'll have to come clean. Surely it can't go on like this. But it goes on.

This is purgatory. We are caught in purgatory--in the limbo between dreams and disaster. The people who have forgotten Star Citizen are the only ones who are free. We who choose to watch this slow collapse are just as trapped as those who hope they are watching a slow assembly. Time has no meaning here for us. We repeat actions and complaints and sick burns and pizza fights endlessly. We will do this for eternity. All of us, together, in these grey stimperial wastes.

Just to clarify what i mean; on the schedule, each individual task (e.g. 'Entity owner manager' or 'inventory system support') keeps getting delayed, but the overall dates for evocati/ptu remain unchanged. This leads me to believe that it will all be thrown 'out the door' as soon as the last task is complete with minimal evocati/ptu testing as soon as the last task is done and the whole patch will be a broken mess just like 2.3.2 was earlier this year. I don't think they they're going to push back the release date later than gamescom because i don't think even CR is shameless enough to walk on stage after the utter disaster that 3.0's dev cycle has been with a straight face, shrug his shoulders and say "welp, it's still not done!".

Hence my prediction: last minute broken 3.0 shat out just before gamescom, CR inexplicably proud, fans lap it up and ask for more, this thread continues to laugh at them.

Also apologies for my lovely grammar/typing, i'm currently bed-bound on heavy painkillers for 2 weeks in recovery from not-minor surgery with nothing but an ipad (and it's unfamiliar virtual keyboard) to type with. :(

Anything new since the loan?

I figured out how to make AFAC/spotting-for-AI mission in DCS.

It's almost as difficult as making a working door in CryEngine (since AI units have exactly zero need for, absolutely do not care about AFAC or buddy spotting), which is probably why I succeeded in doing that, whereas doors in SC are still broken.

I like how nobody sees this as a huge problem, since the last time the guy promising the loving matrix was popular games were 1,000,000 times less advanced.

"Don't worry, in terms of modern technology these are cave paintings being discovered but this means that the transition to humanity's finest advancement in technology since the transistor is at hand. Chris Roberts can tell us all about how his experience informed literal magical science fiction technology ingeniously waiting until he had received an unspecified amount of money at his nobel prize acceptance ceremony for single handedly creating the singularity with the promised complexity of his video game project"

The more I play the more I'm thinking it's inappropriate to keep making GBS threads up this thread with links to my twitch channel so I'll probably migrate any announcements about it over to a thread in the LP forum. I do want to say that I really appreciate everyone coming to hang out because it makes it a lot more fun for me. Good work commandos!
