I appreciate all the 'thanks' messages. It probably doesn't look like it but it often takes 1-2 hours to compile each post. I'll be adding and modifying links to show posts by user (me) so we can get the benefit of hiding "clutter" and less insane page loads; page 2 was getting absurd. If you're a regular reader looking expecting an update, why not check the All time greatest hits which I've been filling slowly.

January Set 6Beet Wagon posted:The last time OSC was posting heavily and backers were enraged I requested an alt check because there were enough discrepancies between the post styles I figured it was a pretty safe bet they weren't the same guy. Of course if I was wrong it would have been a blue on blue incident to rival that of Leonard Skinly, but that's just more lols for the thread. Anyway here's what I got back (I have no idea why Hogarth mentioned rules-breaking, since I specifically told him that the poster was abiding by the rules): Scruffpuff posted:The one glaring thing from all of these attempts at gameplay is this: even if the game worked flawlessly, it would suck beyond description. I never hear the streamers, for all their protestations of "It's in Alpha!", address this in any way. No amount of fidelity, no amount of bugfixing, and no amount of polish can hide it: there is no game here. It is a joyless romp through generic nothingness - go to this point, aim at a box, and push a button. Congratulations CIG, the best-case scenario of a 100% functioning game still can't save it from the dumpster - where it can sit next to Sandi's excised film debut. Scruffpuff posted:His rant at the end gloriously missed the point as well. He's obviously upset at the whole thing, and he's ranting at CIG about how the quality of Live is lower than the PTU etc. Just ranting and raving and not having any of the "It's just an Alpha" excuses slow him down. While I enjoy the salt, I'm still blown away - absolutely mind blown - how much he's missing the point. And it's not just him - every streamer, every backer, missing the procedurally-generated forest for the high-fidelity trees. SPERMCUBE.ORG posted:
Sillybones posted:What could sour the perception of this project for the remaining cultists? Is there any depths left to dredge besides them publicly running off with the money? Toops posted:No. Nothing will. There’s no word in the english language to describe their perfect blend of stupidity and delusion. Over the years, the process of Star Citizen has bled out all rational thought, all meaningful discourse, and like the slow meticulous pruning and root binding of the bonsai, so has Star Citizen painstakingly cultivated a perfectly impotent caricature of an adult human with free will. Enchanted Hat posted:Chris could make Derek the new ship design director today and the backers would start rationalising it tomorrow. SPERMCUBE.ORG posted:Finishing anything at all would probably do it. Remember the golf swing scanning incident? The backers think they were upset because a golf swing mechanic is bad and dumb but I'm pretty sure they were actually upset because it was a mechanic at all. It came dangerously close to pinning some design detail down and that cut off whole avenues of theory crafting. Suddenly Star Citizen was supposed to be a video game again rather than the cyber-rapture for hyper-suckers which they paid for. Virtual Captain posted:I think the tracker and perhaps even my posting have subconsciously been led by some desire to highlight how bad the foundation and current state of the game is. Thinking that at some point backers would start demanding real progress. Yesterday I saw a thread titled "Frame rate a “major” focus for 3.1! Check latest ATV." and that's when it hit me. The thing could crash instantly for the entire playerbase and they'd be absolutely fine as long as their belief session shows still air. Some people ITT tried to play last week and of the three people that got past the loadscreen, I think one managed to get in their ship, so by my count this has basically already happened. Many backers fully admit they do not install new patches, as they prefer dream crafting with their favorite streamer over playing what actual gets delivered. I finally got it, these people are absolutely in a belief cult. Loxbourne posted:I posted about this upthread, but something that unmistakeably without a shadow of a doubt destroys their faith in Chris Roberts personally. We're not talking " a dead girl or a live boy", something that demonstrates outright contempt for backers or backer funds and cannot be rationalised away. peter gabriel posted:You have to understand that we are dealing with people with either solid rubber brains or a single piece of sawdust in their inch thick skull where a brain usually resides. Aramoro posted:I'm not sure why people listen so closely to Leonard J Cr..French. He worked for 9 years as a Software Developer, picked up a Law Degree from a second tier University, did an internship at a Civil Law Clinic before striking out on his own. Which has proven so successful he panhandles for dollars giving out legal opinions on Youtube. MinorInconvenience posted:Just had to correct something really quickly. French went to Widener University Law School. That's a bottom of the barrel, "Tier 3 Toilet" school (in fact, that school's current ranking almost makes it a clown-college-worthy 4th tier law school). Not even second tier. And his masters degree in IT is from a loving for-profit online school (University of Phoenix). Pixelate posted:Nothing can stop this game.

He's more or less making an impassioned defense of emotionally manipulative agitprop, seemingly without a touch of self-awareness. I always thought Lando was a bit more of a pusher than an abuser but it seems like he's been saving a few punch bowls of kool-aid for personal use. Virtual Captain posted:
Toops posted:This is classic cargo cult nonsense. Lando, in his obvious inexperience, doesn't understand what iteration means. He doesn't know what planning looks like. He's never been a part of the design process. He's repeating words he's heard and/or read a blog about, and the way he mis-uses them belies his absolute rookie status in game development. no_recall posted:Hmm some other interesting stats Salt n Reba McEntire posted:Quick reminder that they think grey boxing is not creating and testing gameplay loops with primitives as placeholders, but is instead not texturing models in a scene that does not do anything. Moxxis Endowment posted:Star Citizen: If you pretend to build it, they will come. FailureToReport posted:Chris & Co are like "Oh man, this concept is really cool so it's going to be like this!' and then "Oh this other mechanic is really cool, so its going to be like this!" and they just keep spitting out "really cool ideas" to every person who asks a question, and eventually you have this loving mountain of concepts and ideas that completely clash and will not work together........but Chris has been on "the record" as saying "We are totally doing this" about a dozen times already. So when they finally get to that point (assuming they ever do) that implementing core mechanics comes due, everyone is going to be really pissed when they start realizing how much of "The Promise" isn't going to work, or that THEIR version of Star Citizen they were pitched by CIG isn't going to happen. It's going to be awesome. VictorianQueerLit posted:

G0RF Interlude 1 Read the first post in its entirety, skim the rest as needed. GORFisTYPING posted:
G0RF posted:One thing I didn’t notice until now is that Pioneer owners are granted materials to build 1 (and only 1) structure for their $850. G0RF posted:Just listen to Lando pre-hype the “brand new game mechanic that’s taken the Star Citizen community by storm” on a video with 1000 downvoted. Then later to the Roberts Brothers and Haddock talking through it all. It’s worth watching it all as preamble to what is surely aimed to be their biggest revenue diversification pivot. G0RF posted:There are probably artists and modelers at CIG LA and elsewhere working up the next great monetizable pixeldream - player housing. Hideouts for pirates, mansions for the 890 Jump types, and a wide variety in between. Chris can’t grow the revenues outward right now — the market too small and brand damage to dire. But he can count on the Errises and Mikus and other Concierge Level whales, even if they’re cash strapped, to be ready, willing and eager to buy themselves a little plot of land, a place to park their ship, a dwelling to call home. G0RF posted:STATE OF THE GAME - Q1 2018 G0RF posted:YOUTUBE: Redacted - 1/31/2018 - Highlight Reel G0RF posted:Lando has clawed his way to the upper ranks of the “Most Annoying People at CIG” — I find him insufferable to listen to at this point. G0RF posted:YOUTUBE: Batgirl’s State of the Game - MFDs, Are They Useful? GORFisTYPING posted:The scope that was described in general terms in the Kickstarter has changed quite often, and the absence of anything resembling a hard design document that defines the more specific vision for gameplay mechanics was never set in stone. The architecture itself changed radically midway through the work necessitating the wholesale purge of a prior vision of the Verse itself.

spectrum posted:It's been one month after the premature disaster launch of 3.0. Ignoring that most of what 3.0 was supposed to be was pushed to 3.1, it is simply unacceptable on all levels that nothing has been done about it. That there is no visible effort to address it. You may say; 3.1 will fix it. And I say; when? This should have been fixed yesterday. And why should I believe that 3.1 will help? They have never delivered in the past. Not one single deadline has ever been met. And most releases have been lacking compared to what they said they would have. So why is 3.1 any different? quote:Guard Frequency Episode 199 monkeytek posted:The one thing that really makes me laugh is the response "no one is making you spend the money they aren't forcing you" thus that means it can not be a scam. Scams are predicated on fooling or otherwise taking advantage of a person to gain something of value from them willingly. Taking something from a person against their will is theft\robbery not a scam.

February 9th Anticipation Station ==CIG Responds to Crytek's Response== Very boring document: https://www.scribd.com/document/370105345/031127439162 kw0134 posted:Annoying effort legal post incoming! kw0134 posted:The preliminary injunction will certainly be denied. There's no irreparable harm that cannot be remedied by a liquidated judgment (i.e., cash money) at the end if Crytek prevails. AP posted:I just hope Chris Roberts is watching the French videos going, "yes, um exactly, he's er, ummm, he sees it too, I can win a multi million dollar court case this time". Colostomy Bag posted:Feb 9th will be a day of infamy, where us goons feel grief. Scruffpuff posted:The answer lies in Chris Roberts irredeemable garbage soul, and Ortwin's blind greed. It's really that simple, and no more complicated than it needs to be. Chris Roberts thinks - no, he knows - that he's making a game. Similarly, Ortwin knows he's a mighty untouchable lawyer who equates making a demand on a conference call with unilateral acquiescence of said demands. Neither cares about anything else - they don't see anything else, and they don't understand anything else. Chris has been instructed to act as if the lawsuit is a foregone conclusion, and Ortwin is prepared to save his own skin if the game doesn't go his way. Discovery is "irrelevant" for similar reasons - Chris doesn't think he did anything wrong, and Ortwin won't be the guy directly responsible for the undead horde of financial skeletons discovery will reveal. Scruffpuff posted:Watching all this poo poo with CIG is like watching the helicopter footage of a police chase. You know it's a foregone conclusion, but it's not only impossible to tell how the chase will end, but it's impossible to tell moment to moment what will happen. Will the criminal get on the highway? Off? Will he speed through a school zone? Will he stop the car and run on foot through an abandoned building? Zzr posted:Judge : "So where is the so-called video game Star Citizen and all its progress ?" D_Smart posted:It's all pure arrogance and hubris. Those have been the guiding principles of this poo poo-show for as long as anyone can recall. And as been proven time and time again, it's going to continue being their undoing. Loxbourne posted:With goons expecting a huge feast of hilarity from discovery (and some already warning that we're going to be disappointed), I think it's worth pumping the brakes a little and realistically considering what we might see in the disclosure process.
