anyways thank you very much sir! i rest my case

on a serious note: i was aware that watermelons (and i friggin love matermelons) grow ON THE GROUND. but a watermelon-tree is just way cooler that a watermelon-bush or somethin. and SC thrives on coolness right?

on a even seriouser note: when this threat was discussing pizzas i did not have an account so i could not chime in. but pizza is a very important topic to me as well. so as a european i would have to say a bit about this as well!

It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuA-zV6B4vQ&t=7885s

quote:

Game design by decree. Which really was the way Chris Roberts operated, in many respects. The good part about Chris Roberts was when he had the vision for what a Wing Commander was going to be, and he came and sat down and pitched it to us all, we all went “drat he’s right.” It’s gonna work. He could describe it in a way that you just knew he was right, and it was going to work. And so we invested in it. And he was right, it did work. The downside of that was, when you went to work with Chris Roberts, you did everything EXACTLY the way he said to do it, period. Or you were fired almost immediately. No second chances. He was very explicit with what he wanted, and you either did it that way, or you were not part of his team.” I literally heard him say “make that pixel blue, not green” So it was a place where only certain individuals could survive it. And they had to be very talented, but on the other hand, they also had to be very subservient in their demeanor.

Finally could watch this.

I guess good job? I mean the main character didn't die on any doors at least.

I'm glad nobody at CIG ever understood why when people develop this stuff they do it with boxes, or minimal characters and such. Having all these fidelity warriors dying like Minecraft zombie waves except with less motion is embarrassing.

I seriously think the only way to save this is to have more sales. The art department gets to work overtime from now until citcon to compensate for the lack of actual development with pretend development.

Also looking like this is just the setup for when Chris Roberts plays this level. He's not uh "good with games" so the enemies need to move just a little bit not much, and they need to be ready to die if the big boss kind of points at them and fires a gun in the general direction. They must die as if headshot from team ninja.

There are about 10-20k people who still tune in and lap this bullshit up, like it will all be in the game within the next few months when CIG can't even create a working flight model. Most of them seem to be whales and so delusional that they have resigned themselves to defend this mess to the bitter end. They also are the second lifers, all of the old school space sim enthusiasts have long moved on, now its just people dreaming of emancipation from their mom's basement into an exciting and fulfilling life in space. The actual mechanics and state of the game mean almost nothing to them, as long as "development" continues, they can continue to dream. No amount of incompetence or greed from CIG or reasoned arguments from any of us will ever save them. Like Starloop, they have to eventually reach a personal internal breaking point in which the light of reality and self-awareness comes crashing into their literal and figurative basements.

Hey I've been out of the Star Citizen news mix for awhile. I seem to remember looking at the thread some few hundred pages ago and seeing some post quoting Chris Roberts getting really indignant and defending the decision to charge money for the convention, but now I can't find it. Did I dream that or was it real? Can someone link me? Thanks.

Backers care enough to still apparently fund a multinational EA-type studio. Instead of games full of loot boxes though, the game is a loot box.

"Hacking" and "scanning" in this context mean exactly the same thing.

'Offensive' use of electronic warfare (aside from scrambling their transmissions) would mean using the enemies trusted frequencies and codes to send bogus messages to sow chaos or lead them into a trap, or trick them into entering their SSN.

But it's not something that lends itself to a real-time, fun activity.

So yeah, I can definitely see CIG wasting lots of time trying to implement it.
