This guy is tragic. look at this poo poo quote:Then me and my bros said F it and went full bore and spent $100K+ on a really nice Downtown Officespace on the top floor, and a bunch of PC Gaming hardware for our battlestations, and virtual spaceships, and a LEGIT, REAL, Entity (LLC) in Cali. It was a for-profit company, but our goal was never to actually turn a profit with that venture.

I clicked that link Fidelitious had in his post and, just wow..... quote:Just some Tech Company(s) Co-Founder, Executive, System's Architect, who has Designed, Engineered, and Built over 2000 System's in the last few years and most of those were high-end Gaming and Workstations. While I do not claim to be the smartest or brightest on here, I do have more experience than most. I also work with and talk to and deal with the Engineers at companies like Intel, Nvidia, MSI, BenQ, Samsung, etc who design and make the parts we all use and love. I tend to get a lot of inside information that most average consumers do not ever have access to. I also happen to experience products in large samples. Where as you guys tend to experience one or two products, take for instance a single GPU, or MoBo, or Chipset, I experience that times 100 somtimes. It is a much easier for me to tell what products are really worth you hard-earned money and what are not. I also believe that Form is equal to function, and let's face it most of us Computer Nerds do not give a poo poo about looks. Though that is changing more and more every day. "I build computers sometimes and that means Intel engineers talk to me" Yeah sure they do mate, sure they do......

I love the invalid tag on this one. Computer is not powerful enough to run Star Citizen so it's perfectly acceptable for the oxygen system not to work.

I have prepared an evaluation scale for Star Citizens, to help you assess whether he is a good Citizen material or not. Most of the stuff comes from SomethingAwful's scale for webcomic fans however, I made some changes to make it cater more to older retired dudes. Most points are similar, but the scores have been reworked eighteen times. Positives: 1. Never posted on the refunds subreddit (+1 point) 2. Takes the game seriously and has at least 2 ships (+3 points) 3. Active poster on Spectrum (+3 points) 4. Gives away ship duplicates to friends / disabled people (+5 points) 5. Saves / invests money intelligently (+5 points) 6. Sometimes offers to pay for pizza at dev office (+5 points) 7. Tries to play with HOTAS or fork (+5 points) 8. Pledges every month without being asked (+5 points) 9. Would refuse to shave his neckbeard, even if you requested (+5 points) 10. Always returns for CITCON (+5 points) 11. Massages his Intel Optane without asking (+10 points) 12. Very loyal to Chris Roberts (+10 points) 13. Takes care of Org mates that are rude or mean without complaints (+15 points) 14. Still lives with his parents (+15 points) 15. Pledges weekly or monthly (+20 points) 16. Legatus Navium (+30 points) Negatives: 17. Ever ran away because of a fight with the Mod team (-2 points) 18. Watches or shows interest in leaked Evocatti videos (-3 points) 19. Didn't back before kickstarter (-3 points) 20. Has played other online games in the last 10 years (-5 points) 21. Ever had thoughts about refunding without any noticeable trigger (-5 points) 22. Doesn't have LTI on every ship (-10 points) 23. Ever had a one-night stand with another game (-10 points) 24. Uses a wheelchair (-15 points) 25. His Org leader hates him (-15 points) 26. Has ever been accused of spreading FUD (-15 points) 27. Doesn't have any referral points (-15 points) 28. Thinks it is okay to look into Freelancer's development (-15 points) 29. Gets into slapsfights when posting online (-20 points) 30. Sells physical backer rewards or swag (-20 points) 31. Cries loudly/fights in public after clipping through geometry (-25 points) 32. Cymelion (-25 points) 33. Has engaged in non-consensual pvp with more than 5 different partners (-25 points) 34.

Doesn't watch AtV (-50 points) 41. Feels grief even after clearing user folder (-70 points) 42. Ever worked as a Idris janitor or prostitute (-71 points) The calculation process is straightforward: Add all positives, subtract all the negatives. -50 and below: End the relationship immediately -49 to -25: You should run away, very little chance of working -24 to 0: Proceed with caution, possibly bad Citizen 1 to 25: Average Citizen, you can give it a try 26 to 49: Good faithful Citizen, possible ship crew 50 and above: Very special Citizen, take care of him

Hello thread I forgot about you until I saw a man who put swear words on a N64 making fun of this mess on Twitter. https://twitter.com/conkerhimself/status/1003953405109391367 https://twitter.com/conkerhimself/status/1003961334608941057 If you don't get the second one...  These two "mega-games" were intended to be push the boundaries of the hardware they were on to the point of having packed-in hardware add-ons and price-tags of ~£30 at a time when most games retailed at around £8... but Imagine Software famously imploded and went backrupt in front of the camera lens of a BBC Documentary crew, and the games never happened. Psyclapse ended up being "nothing more than a paper idea", but pieces of Bandersnatch were salvaged into a different game called Brataccas which got mediocre reviews due to controlling like poo poo.

He explained that unlike most foreigners who simply seek "promiscuous women in tourist areas," he had lived in the country since 2012. Moreover, he had attended a Thai language school, purchased property, and drove a Porsche Panamera because "Thai girls love supercars." According to The Globe and Mail, Cazes "described his native Quebec as a place where too many are on welfare and where Muslim refugees get in easily and ‘start breeding like bedbugs,’ while he had trouble getting a visa for his Thai relatives." It goes on; In another post, he wrote: "I am what we call a professional cheater. Despite having a live-in wife, I have a secondary residence that no one knows about—and that’s where I bring girls." Hell of an intersection between the dark triad, dark money and weird belief systems.

Is there any enemy AI? I know Star Marine or whatever is abandoned but can you in fact shoot at NPCs that shoot at you, since that’s been handled fairly decently since at least Half-Life? I assume that was probably a basic feature of the cryengine devkit they managed to break? And very early on I heard about one game mode just being Ender’s Game zero-G laser tag. Is that also on perpetual hiatus or is that just dead? Because that seems like it would be really hard even for a good company, and would likely be impossible outside of third person.

The enemies we've seen in the material they shown (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong) have either been faked by developers playing them, stationary and shooting wildly, or ambling around scripted paths waiting to be stealth killed.

They shoot in your general direction while flying mostly randomly. If we're talking about PU and not SM ( is there even AI in SM ? I'm not sure, I thought it was PvP only ? ), then it's worse than that. I've actually seen enemy AI ships simply stand still. That's right, not moving at all. Which gives some extremely innovative fidelitious gameplay moments when you too, stay motionless and aim at the enemy in your visor, hold fire and go AFK to drink a cup of 'wtf' until the enemy dies a minute later. I wish I was joking but I really am not. Not sure if I had bad luck with that encounter and it was bugged, but that was my experience not too long ago, in 3.1.

According to my co-worker, Star Citizen is past alpha, beta and "3.4.1 is the live release version". You gotta give it to  though, they can maintain a somewhat coherent narrative compared to this guy.

I am very confident there is no AI in Star Marine. This is part of the reason it's possible to wait 45 mins for a match to start.

When they say 100+ hours of gameplay they are including the time you spend in an empty lobby waiting for someone else to sign in.
