Just throwing it out there, but has anyone considered Frogbear as a chat NPC for lonely nerds?

Or does that just comically speed up the ‘months to skynet’ counter in some laboratory somewhere?

This can't possibly be overstated. Chris believed, from the very start, that because he told other developers to change the color of a pixel nearly 3 decades ago, that the only reason games weren't infinitely better today is because he wasn't making them.

The fact that he isn't a game developer didn't faze him. The fact that he doesn't understand gaming didn't faze him. Getting sued and forcibly removed from two industries didn't faze him. Having every single publisher tell him to go gently caress himself didn't faze him. Zero lessons were learned. He would, with no knowledge and no ability, make an incredibly complex game and beat actual game developers at their own game in every area and in every genre simultaneously. Not because he knew how, or because he had an idea, but because he was Chris Roberts.

The funny thing is, people who saw this coming knew it would fail for the exact same reason he knew it would succeed. Chris Roberts isn't just a Fraud Elemental - he's the Avatar of Failure.

That gives me an idea for a new Ultima game.

I'm still going to stand by my assumption that to CR, the graphics made the game. He very much believed that complex systems just go together like legos, and you can build super complex little chunks of something and they all work perfectly when you put them together.

He never respected the code part of the product. He'd look at something like Uncharted and just take for granted the tremendous level of expertise that went into making that game actually function. He only saw the graphics, and assumed everything else was easy and you can just layer in programming on top of great assets and a game is born.

Unfortunately for me though, what I didn't expect was that a lot of other people also felt this was true too. And now he's a millionaire for being an ignoramus and totally failing to understand what he's doing. And since he's hit it big, he never has to learn.

All the stuff we're bitching about and his followers are bitching about I doubt he cares anymore. This show is a car going down an infinite hill with a brick on the gas and the car is empty.

Nobody will care when the car crashes. Nobody who owns the car will get hurt. The car will just get destroyed. But every inch the car goes it wins like $50,000 just for rolling and not hitting a tree and exploding.

CR is sometimes moving the road in front of the car so it will roll further and faster, but he's stopped caring about it. Unfortunately there are people all along the walls throwing money at it. Eventually it's going to crash into some of them.

I can see CR getting out of the project and maybe helping other ventures to "fund their Dreams" while taking profits. His whole platform will be "lie to them. Tell them everything they want to hear. Make it look real pretty."

A lot of people can't do this because they have emotions and can't willingly screw other people over. Other people have fear of reprisals. But there are still people out there like CR who will break your car window because they see $5 on your console and feel like they need to have it and not care a bit.

It was pretty joyless, it's odd. Sanitised and over complicated now and not another commando to be seen pretty much anywhere.
It used to be a real poo poo game but it had this DIY feel about it, it had this certain charm like fun could be round any corner and that's been stripped out now.

It doesn’t help that they’ve well... not fixed the bugs, but have kind of walled a bunch of them off behind immersion switches and other intrusive poo poo.

At least the bugs were entertaining, you know? Now the slog through the grey nonsense to find that same kind of fun is so arduous that the payoff isn’t worth it. I’ve tried like three or four times now to make a video where I go gently caress around on one of the planets but god drat if I don’t get there and just give up. Star Citizen is like... aggressively dull

Oh yeah there it is. I'm pretty sure the rotating arms in the despawned/teleported model also correspond to the ship model's commando turning the steering wheel while on the other side of the star system. The genius of Croberts has recreated quantum entanglement in Star Engine.

I feel like 75% of the work they've done on SC over the past 4 years has been desperately, frantically trying to find some way, any way, God help us, to keep pgabz from getting through that window

Like I can imagine them having tense, depressing meetings about this video

"Johnson, God, Johnson you swore to us! The loving window Johnson! You said the walk zone would - but he - He got through the -" Chris cuts off, forcing down tears. He collects himself as the 48 employees in the room nervously look elsewhere. Finally, he whispers, raggedly. "H-he got. Through the window again."
