The true shitzen has convinced himself that the alpha is not "the game".

He waits for the game to be released, but until then, this is "good progress for an alpha" and somehow not related to the final product.

And yes he has always convinced himself, or been convinced by reddit posts and the other members of the cult, that this is a normal way to think. People who think otherwise are doing 'mental gymnastics' because they can't see what CIG is building.

You're forgetting that this alpha is simultaneously only an alpha AND better than every game ever released.

This is literally crazy then. I figured they had a sale and things were... you know.. on sale. Not just literally saying “guess what, uh... buy stuff at our store!! Full price sale!”

In fact, every year they mark ships up over the previous year prices when the time comes round to sell them again. And by a significant amount too, not like $5 or something. So really it's like a reverse sale.

Are there even any examples of VR successfully integrated into a 'walking around and doing quests' type of MMO? Locomotion is VR shooters seems to be a pretty big unsolved problem - with either teleport tricks or expensive and space-hogging equipment required to move a character through even a tunnel map.

There is an early-access wow-style game coming out for the Vive this month. It's being made by a team of about 2 people and looks like cash grab garbage in my opinion, but it does at least address the question of locomotion and might be fun with 20+ people playing. It allows smooth movement or teleporting. The devs have basically just copy-pasted everquest mechanics which really don't work well when you have to physically nock every arrow or swing your sword every time you want to do 5% damage to the enemy.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

Is it even allowed to begin working for CIG and just keep your mouth shut about it? Or is it a condition that if you're hired, you have to start making social media posts? "Just started working a completely professional and valid job at this GREAT and totally real game company! I can't wait to start doing the top-notch work that CIG, a real game company that is not at all a scam that is leveraging this social media post to bolster its own credibility, demands!"

Well, bad news. CIG didn't remove any spinlocks or sleep(1) calls in the latest patch. hence the continued hangs, crashes and performance issues. there are still 600+ spinlocks and 400+ sleep(1) calls still in this patch.

They lied. Shocking, I know.

Using IDA disassembler and Hex-Rays Decompiler, you can see this a clear as day in the current and previous versions.

There is NO fixing bad architecture and design; so I don't expect ANYTHING they do to yield ANY positive results in the short term. There will be crashes, hangs, and even worse performance issues if they ever survive (they won't) long enough to progress beyond 3 barren moons.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
Imagine they had invested all the money they collected for this scam into Bitcoin - they might actually have the resources to hire someone to make the game for them while Chris and Sandy are filming their Space Opera.

My cousin, a dyed-in-the-wool progressive, refers to himself as a “male feminist,” rabidly anti-Trump, (99% of his social media posts are Trump related. Quite sad really.) and will never refund. Whenever we talk about SC it’s always “Derek Smart this” “Derek Smart that,” and I always have to remind him I never mentioned DS to begin with.

The problem with that is now he is not wanting States to decide anything anymore. Just look at what ol Jeff "Keebler Cracker" Sessions is cooking up with regards to MMJ and abortion or medical insurance. I can do this all day.
