Being a producer on a movie can mean as little as "put up some money/convinced people to put up some money" Doesn't mean they have anything at all to do with actually making it.

Hav posted:Oldest joke on record was a butt joke. 1900 BC, Sumerian. http://www.stoa.org/diotima/anthology/quinn_jokes.shtml #115. An Abderite saw a eunuch talking with a woman and asked him if she was his wife. When he replied that eunuchs can't have wives, the Abderite asked: "So is she your daughter?" (An Abderite was someone from Abdera, apparently they were the butt of quite a few jokes.) #201. A man, just back from a trip abroad, went to an incompetent fortune-teller. He asked about his family, and the fortune-teller replied: "Everyone is fine, especially your father." When the man objected that his father had been dead for ten years, the reply came: "You have no clue who your real father is." #202. An incompetent astrologer cast a boy's horoscope and said: "He will be a lawyer, then a city-official, then a governor." But when this child died, the mother confronted the astrologer: "He's dead -- the one you said was going to be a lawyer and an official and a governor." "By his holy memory," he replied, "if he had lived, he would have been all of those things!" #204. An incompetent astrologer cast a man's horoscope and said: "You are unable to father children." When the man objected that he had seven kids, the astrologer replied: "Look after them well." #219. A glutton betrothed his daughter to another glutton. Asked what he was giving her as a dowry, he replied: "A house whose windows face the bakery." That last joke could easily be a thread joke about Ben Lesnick, with only minimal re-wording required.

This is a sad state of affairs. Hopefully Citizen Con won't suffer too much because the people who crowdfunded the game weren't willing to crowdfund the promotional event for the game they crowdfunded. crowdfund.

Being a producer usually means your company put up money. It can mean you help organize the people and companies that all come together to make a movie. It can confer creative control but most producers just put up money and take a cut of the box office. Knowing Chris's great skill at creating movies when he has full control, his magnum opus WC: the movie, we can easily determine which of these he was.

Looks like AdzAdama is received with benign indifference by his fellow citizens; mostly nobody engages with him at all, and if anyone does, it's just one pleasant and low-key exchange. That's a healthier atmosphere than I expected from their community, to be honest.

Aqua Seafoam Shame posted:It took me like five minutes to get the Abderite joke. I might be an Abderite. You are an intellectual: #43. When an intellectual was told by someone, "Your beard is now coming in," he went to the rear-entrance and waited for it. Another intellectual asked what he was doing. Once he heard the whole story, he said: "I'm not surprised that people say we lack common sense. How do you know that it's not coming in by the other gate?"

nawledgelambo posted:what a god damned boring, abysmal waste this is The first several questions are dull, and one had already be answered on a prior show. The last one though is probably one of the most important ones asked on the show. “What is the next Star System after Stanton?” Papy pretty much kills any theorycrafter fantasies about there being multiple Star Systems in simultaneous development right there. He then mentions that Nyx might get added next, even though it’s not adjacent to Stanton, since at least Delamar & Levski are done. It’s all up to Chris. Lando, Sean Tracy and Chris in particular have all been guilty at various times of the “Star Citizen has hundreds of Star Systems” whopper. Papy’s just like “Nope.”

Yeah, that’s the question Luke Pressley answered awhile back. Having Haddock answer it a second time, and say, “Well, we only captured her audio so we’re not sure yet if we’ll do it again with facial capture, or someone else, or what?” just reminds viewers how ad hoc it all is. Twice. The best part of that segment was Lando’s call dump. I  ’d.

It’s the same Lando that does Mr. Roper audience mugging after Chris explains why he should be excused for lying to backers for years. Outside of the CIG LA bubble, I think lots of folks in the company wince and cringe at the overt jerkiness. But what can they gonna do? It’s a CIG LA thang! In unrelated news since it involves badassfun looking space games, the new Rebel Galaxy Outlaw gameplay trailer kicks rear end.
