Spiderdrake posted:Yeah one of my close friends is a huge, huge Hux fan and loved TLJ, and when we discussed it she was quick to point out (paraphrasing) "Remember when we watched Fringe together and Abrams gonna Abrams?" and I was like right TFA was NEVER GOING to do anything with its supposed plot threads. Been a while since I watched it but I thought Fringe ended on a satisfactory note and tied up most of the major plots. It was certainly handled better than Lost.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdHbZr1bH6o Some choice quotes, Archer'd from his Reddit transcript  quote:With the discussion getting heated and many perspectives being projected out into many social media platforms, I felt it was time to take a look at what all the fuss is about. quote:Ultimately, we, the backers, have supported the development thus far, but we need the help of new citizens with fresh funding, to keep going. quote:So, what's more important to you, A Bankrupt game project that never broke the rules, or a successful game project that took some liberties with an outdated document from 2013. quote:Is it time to let the marketing team do what they are supposed to? To come up with creative ways to fund the game and is it time to relax the rules from 2013. It’s quite clear that we would all choose to entice new money from new citizens, rather than tp hold onto what was said in the past and risk failure to complete the project.  quote:I now fully understand that the faith around 2013 and what was stated, is why backers funded the project... Faith is why the funding is at 180 plus million; people believe in Chris Roberts and back in 2013, were easily reassured by a simple post... The faith from 2013 has been tested more and more... In 2018, it might be time to look at the bigger picture and have faith once again... I feel the faith from 2013 is still there, just a bit dimmer and quicker to be cynical... It's easy to lose faith when the rules are changed after the game has started... There was a clear boost in funding and we should all see it as a marketing success at the cost of some faith... I’m still salty by the sale, but they are willing to trade a bit of our faith from 2013 to ensure the project is healthy.  Of course, his "it's time to move on" video completely fails in its objective

Do these people just not realize that what they claim to be the new "order of things" is worse than the old one?

Not consciously. They probably chose the lesser of the two evils. The alternative is to admit that the project has failed, and that just isn't possible for pride reasons.

You can always tell what the Citizens are most worried about in Star Citizen by what they're accusing Elite Dangerous of doing. Always, always, always.

So, it seems like somehow, in the middle of the night, the reddit narrative has shifted to "CIG doesn't have enough money to finish the game" which is uh... exactly what they've been threatening to kill Derek Smart for saying for like three years now, is that right?

Aeka 2.0 posted:Ok, so lay it on me, what the gently caress are the "SJW" problems that these people have with the movie? I'm assuming they are seeing a current social norm as an attack to their delicate senses, because the only issue i see with the movie is a bad script of b movies strung together, a lovely episode 1 style casino planet, and luke doing dumb poo poo for "comedy." See, people should read the front page more. The Jordan Peterson interview contains everything you need to know about the great unwashed. ‘Because a girl’ is 90% of it. 10% is because they can.

Now you have an entire generation for which those movies are fetishized high art and they’ve never heard of Harry Harrison. My tie fighter collection is entirely a side issue. Imperial design had a weirdly attractive neo-brutalist feel to it.

It’s pretty surreal that bankruptcy talk isn’t being treated like  anymore. Everybody still talking about the game (and there aren’t many) is talking about or around this subject. “Warbonds? S’more like Pandora’s Bucks, am I right?” — Joe Borscht, Space Sim Comedian. (Sorry I’m still trying to make this work, btw...) It’s also weird to see people calling for Chris to openly address CIG finances. I guess FUD is cool and good now? The solution is obvious. Chris should just host a special “10 for the Chairman” livestream event to allay any uncertainties about finances. And make it a $20 Pay Per View. I know I’d throw down for that.

Bootcha posted:Honestly, it felt like that whole setting and sequence was such a throw-away. It has such neat visual potential, with reds and whites and grays. But the failed lemming rush kinda fell flat as narrative. Considering they telegraphed at least four deaths, then veered away make me think Disney might have said something. All four of those points are entirely valid, although the starfucker chick taking out Finn could be explained because she lost her sister in a suicide run. Suicide runs are SW staples. Thing is you can drive holes through literally anything in star wars because they’re movies. How the gently caress do you blockade a planet with three star destroyers? Scene 1. Every generation gets to do this. It’s kinda funny, but this SJW stuff is just sad. A single label for everything they hate is just drat lazy.

Lots of businesses operate on an assumption of projected income. Most of the smart backers have realised that the game won't get made if those projections don't materialise. If the game must be made at all costs, by extension, money must be made at all costs. They have enough money to finish the game, but only if they have carte blanche on fundraising. Citizens are debating whether it is ok for CIG to drop the 'do no evil' clause in the pursuit of meeting projected income.

Then again, it's J.J. Abrams so,...my expectations weren't high to begin with given his past track record. Star Wars sucks now. Hard to believe but they actually managed to ruin one of the most popular film franchises ever. Thank Hollywood and the left for that.

People forget that Harry Markopolos warned the SEC about Madoff in 2000, 2001 and 2005 before they finally acted in 2008, and that frequently financial criminal behaviour simply shackles the doors one day and puts up a notice saying 'sorry, we tried, plz forward mail to Belize'. http://www.ossic.com for example. I'm now really, really interested in the split of what the day to day work is at CiG between development and marketing. I'm willing to be that it's curiously close to that of a publisher.
