And even then she winds up playing woman on the cutting room floor.

I live near the Airport.

Check out BrewPort in El Segundo.

40+ taps and good food.

As for inside the Airport Rock n Brews is ok? I dunno I hate this Airport ( I work here) soooo.

Biggest issue is going to be which terminal you have your layover in. They aren't all connected sooooo you'd have to go out through security and if you are going to do that you might as well get the gently caress out of the airport. Issue with that is the Uber surcharge they tack on so yeah.

Thanks, friend, my pants weren't going to piss themselves.

I am way older than Sandi and no oil painting, but I would be humiliated to have a photo of my 40-something self tagged as "youthful and beautiful." Sandi can certainly do "chic and striking" when she works at it, but "youthful" not so much.

And i can imagine the cries of whales if people can get the big ships within a few months. When everyone and their dog are flying top tier ships within months, the whales won't be happy with that, i'm pretty sure. But if those big ships do take a long time to get to, then you can be drat well sure the forums will be full of people saying it was P2W and that the game is a terrible grind.

This is something I always like to see brought up every so often. Only because for CIG it's a no-win scenario.

There is not a world that exists where people who spent $$$ will feel justified by the amount of time it takes a normal scrub to earn their purchase in game, and similarly there is no way anybody who didn't spend money will feel the amount of time needed to grind will justify them not being able to properly enjoy the game because they didn't shell out $$$.

CIG is steering, and continues to steer, far far away from these situations.

In fact, in the scenarios that have so far been released (correct me if I'm wrong), but the amount of money you get for a basic mission is far less than it seems worth it to even do that mission. That kind of leads me to believe that CIG has still put zero thought into the overall economy of the game. Despite claims like 5 years ago where they had a whole universe simulation running on some server where they were seeing how their economy ran for all their near human AI merchants.

If CIG can struggle so far as to actually put a price tag on peoples purchases (thereby killing their primary source of income also), there will be upheavals of amazing proportions. Both by long time backers, as well as all the silent majority who bought in for a starter pack.

A lot of the starter pack people are likely expecting something like Privateer, where you are stuck in the starter ship only for a little while, then can upgrade.

Meanwhile all the hardcore, LTI mongrels spending $$$ are envisioning a game where people permanently lose their ships if they are stupid (they are of course not stupid, and all the starter pack losers are stupid), and will inevitably lose to their amazing skills as Han Solo and become turret gunners aboard their ship for peanuts as they earn the right to walk amongst the rich and justified.

These two groups simply will not coexist peacefully because this is not how CIG has this far presented how their game will function. CIG has created a time-bomb for themselves joyfully, all in the name of making money hand over fist.

Of course if the game never comes out, none of this will ever materialize anyway so who cares. :shrug:

Yeah but they have to be like 4K x 4K cum stains. You can't just get some random photo off the internet of semen and slap it in your game and even pretend it's good enough and has sufficient fidelity.

And you know the next step is actually getting like 7 3D and shader guys to start building out your procedural cum technology.

And once you're at the Chris Roberts level, you need to keep track of how many sperm are in a strand and how much argon has been displaced by the sloshing of it through the air and then its effect on your visor when it hits you in the face. Does a thick wad blur your vision more or less than a thin wad? How many flexes does it take to eject a correctly proportioned level?

And then you have to be prepared to answer "yes, of course" when people ask you "but can I fill my sink in my spaceship barhroom with the liquid? How about my hot tub?" And then once you get those questions you need to be able to pull a Roberts and up the ante, by adding in that you can also get alien wildlife pregnant either on purpose or accidentally and these creatures will have babies who look slightly like your unique character. And yes, of course you can capture them and raise them to be NPCs but their stats won't be as good as a normal human, haha you silly goose. *waves hands frantically, fingers through "ok" sign on other hand while winking knowingly*

They way it was explained is Skadden hate losing and generally don't take cases where there's a chance of that happening.

No idea if that's actually true or not. I thought lawyers just liked getting paid.

also, RE: "ship grind theorycrafting" the geniuses at reddit cooked this thread up:

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/8ngxo8/speculation_on_ship_ingame_uec_prices_version_2/

I'm trying to follow their logic here, but it looks like they're assuming

A) $1 = 1000 UEC will still hold true
B) Ships will increase in price about threefold by launch
C) You will still be able to earn a Constellation in about 60 hours of playtime (per some loving thing Chris said three years ago)
D) Cameron Wilkie's speculation that the Polaris will be 20-30 million UEC was wrong

There's a bunch of flaws in this model, including assuming CIG's final "in-game" pricing model is going to be tied to reality in any way, so we might as well be throwing chicken bones around and trying to read them, but if we take those numbers at face value that means an Idris is going to cost you around 600 hours of play time lol. That's more than double the time I've put into MWO even when I used to play it every day and occasionally leave it running overnight by accident.

That might even be more than my total time put into WoW honestly.

Re: Miku's 27,000 dollar jpeg purchase, it seems insane (especially since he's hit something like 60 grand spent on the game already), but even that pales in comparison to what top spenders in free to play/games as a service whales are willing to drop. Having worked in the industry for many years now, I have seen some serious poo poo that makes the CIG whales look like chump change. This includes people that spend close to a grand a day, or drop a hundred dollars literally every time they log into their game of choice. 190 million dollars in 6-7 years isn't anything to scoff at, but successful free to play mobile and even some PC games would laugh at those numbers and start laying people off.

I think Time Clickers is the only one that has inflated hours, you could probably knock the hundred off the front and have the real value.

Though if you want to be sad, look up the stats of anyone who plays dota. Its always like 7,000-12,000 hours.

I have over 4 digits of Team Fortress 2 hours and it was all good multi play fun of which I made some new friends that have evolved past that game (still play it at times)

Team Fortress 2 has GAMEPLAY - Star Citizen does not but still asks for more money.

I payed $30 for the pack with Portal 2, Team Fortress 2 and a half life eposodie. And then another $10 at some stage for some more storage space. Worth it for 8 years of gaming.
