What the hell is Tier 0 supposed to mean in this context? I know in reality it's just another crappy buzzword, but is this something they made up out of the blue or is it an actual term with meaning in development?

In a support context, Tier 0 means user self-help (using Google, automated help desk tools, or asking your "guru" co-worker).

Since this looks like something a layman hacked together by googling and using tutorials, I would say this qualifies as Tier 0 development.

I like that the guy trying to calm everybody down has an avatar from the Dune fever dream demo Chris had to have for a Gamescom one year, and all the stuff in it has never been seen again.

If I recall this was also the demo where they made the sad gamescom video afterwards about how they only needed like another week to get everything perfected, and then all those weeks came and went and well, you definitely don't have your Dune level anywhere!

I made a thing. Actually more than one. This isn't really it but I hope it proves amusing. It already has one down vote after being live for only a few minutes so I guess I'm doing something right...

(Actually, does anybody remember who made the 8 bit animated loop from Big MoMA's House? I need to credit them.)

It still blows my mind that a Star Citizen backer suggested a sexual assault / rape mechanic for the game and other backers took it seriously and agreed with it.

The target demographic are gamergaters, so it’s really not that surprising.

The thing about Reddit is you can see a users entire community history. Virtually every fanatic backer posts in alt-right, MRA or gamergater subs.

I think his rant was that we/derek were in fact the gamergaters, because harassment.

This is kind of an important point, and it's really hard to explain here, but I'll do my best.

If CIG is using a term that is used in actual game development, they're doing it to appear like a real game development studio. In these cases, they're using the term wrong. See: refactoring, pipeline, pre-alpha

If CIG is using a term that is NOT used in actual game development, they're doing it to appear like they're creating cutting edge technology. In reality, the technology has existed for years, if not decades, with a different name, and CIG's implementation is completely wrong and is full of errors that even the actual pioneers didn't make when they were first figuring it out. See: subsumption, tier 0, quantum linking

Oftentimes they will find a way to combine the two approaches, and use real game development terms in a way that makes them appear like they're the first people to figure out a long-solved problem. In every case, they're either using the term wrong, or mangling the underlying technology beyond recognition. See: network bind culling, serialized variables, object container streaming

Yep, this is exactly right.

And it works. We see it work. Sc fans even mix up CIG's BS and assume when they use some common industry term, that they're referring to what it means in the industry. But it often doesn't.

Its a house of misnomer'd cards.

That's what's killing me about this. People try to be edgy and call people "sheeple" and all that other silly horseshit.

Then you see this. You see this, and you think, if certain people aren't sheep, then what the gently caress else can they possibly be described as?

When I see some kid on YouTube look at a lovely ship and say in breathless tones "Oh my God the fidelity" even though he never uttered the word before in his life, that's a sheep.

When I see yet another Reddit post parroting CIG's latest bullshit term like "Tier 0" like they're loving experts, that's a sheep.

When I read another Tweet where someone mindlessly repeats some Subsumption AI fever dream, that's a sheep.

I've never seen a company so easily manipulate a subgroup of humanity before. Even religion has escapees, and that has thousands of years of refinement behind it. CIG has these people on an adamantium leash. There has to be someone at CIG in his 80s with a doctorate in this poo poo and a lifetime of studying cult behavior. CIG tells them what to do, what to donate, and what to say, and the backers obey 100% without question. They are controlled down to the atomic level. Hand puppets have more autonomy.
