They're quite easy to avoid, so I wouldn't let that stop your flight from Blighty.

My favorite part is how all the devs are absolutely still and silent, as if by simply moving they might attract the attention of some kind of unspeakably evil saleswoman predator.

They definitely don't look at all guilty, nope.

hopefully just a taste of what the trial will provide.

Totally. It's a huge risk to do that much up-front design, because it could wind up being a tangled goat-gently caress. Or, it could all come together smooth and easy, and just not be fun. No matter how you do it, the project has to be run by very experienced people with clear vision, preternatural understanding of the market trends, and a history of being right.

Chris Roberts has none of these.

I will lord this over all the past believers forever: I had never, ever heard of Chris Roberts when SC buzz popped up in 2012. I'd never played any of his stupid games, and when I saw this picture:



I said this, out loud, to myself: "Who the gently caress is this stupid oval office? Some cult of personality bullshit goin on around here."

While that may be weird, I fuckin called it first. I love you all, but real talk, I can't loving BELIEVE any of you fell for this horse poo poo, at any point. It was a trainwreck from the word "pledge."

lol Toops. Dang spitting fire today.

I know some in here funded. I didn't as it doesn't interest me to begin with but I never even knew the kickstarter was a thing until years later and it was starting to turn into a big story. I knew of it because I play Eve Online a lot and some of the Eve news sites were starting to cover it. Now I'm here to see an un-American project fail because it deserves to. It goes against everything I thought I knew about economics and capitalism. So it needs to die.

Not a surprise though. Imagine if the PU was playable. Even just 1% of CiG's customer base would bankrupt them with server costs.

~1GB per hour * 20,000 players. 400 servers.

Guys, Chris is actually a genius. His staff want to make a game but he knows better than that.

What I've always wondered is what the hell is on his left monitor and why is it there. For what reason would Chris have a model open in a posing/animation program on one monitor and code on another? Did he just kick some random employee out of their chair for the photo-op? Pull up some random source code and start typing and deleting segments, since none of it works anyway?

0%. What really gets up my rear end about this image is how, after deleting what appears to be an argument, or a short comment, he immediately lets go of the keyboard, checks out the camera, and repositions himself in his chair. Because that's the world of coding - every time you type a character or two, you have to take a rest and get the blood moving again.

You can do better than this. I get you are a little embarrassed but this burn attempt was weak as gently caress.

There are apparently 3 trends in major sc backers. Impulse buying of bitcoins, digital spaceships, and pedophilia. The heartbreaking, sickening truth.

Bravely bold Sir Moma
Rode forth from basement dark.
He was not afraid to pledge,
Oh brave Sir Moma.
He was not at all afraid
To be robbed by phony devs.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Moma.

He was not in the least bit scared
To be ripped off by a thief.
Or to have his cash burned up,
And his wallet emptied.
To have his pledges spent
And his money pissed away,
By a fat austistic manchild
Brave Sir Moma.
