Sarsapariller posted:I love pointing out to people who say the travel times are "Fine" that it is literally faster to ride a Starfarer from Port O to either of the planets, and then file an insurance claim for your small ship and wait out the timer, than it is to actually fly there. For some reason it is 100% fine with citizens that the travel times stay enormous "because realism" but also that the insurance timers stay in the ~10 minute range "because gameplay." This will offer exciting new insurance investigator gameplay loops. You are filing a claim on your Aurora? I'll be lurking in the shadows, lust on my mind, and report to the mods what's really happening.

I mean I don't actually know anything about game development, but I'm pretty sure most other places don't motion capture the entire game including background animations, right? Have they not already mocapped some guy mopping the floors? At this point, I don't think Chris is going to accept anything that can't be said to be at least partially mocapped.

The standard definition is someone who has the innate vision to see things far off, what's coming, introspection on what is here, or some kind of ideal state they strive for. This is incorrect. "Visionary" for Chris Roberts means he has eyes through which, via his sense of sight, or vision, he can watch television, games, or movies and then steal from them. So everything is actually fine and Star Citizen is good.

Looking back with what we know now about Sandi now, I wonder what happened way back when Lisa Ohanian left. She seemed to be one of the more intelligent people around and she probably saw the project for what it was in 2015, but I heavily suspect that Sandi hated her and that it played a role in her getting out. And hey, she got to produce on God of War instead of being stuck on the CIG poo poo-train, so great move for her in the end.

Supposedly (accordingly to the angry dev sources for the original Escapist article) Sandi refused to hire a particular candidate for a marketing position because she "looked like she didn't shave down there". Sandi's marketing department was one of the first warning signs back when goons supported the project. Anyone young, female, or more popular with the backers than her tended to disappear overnight.

I wonder how much of the momentum left in this poo poo-train was originally infused into this project by the actual industry professionals that signed on early with CIG before they figured out what Chris and Sandi really were.

I really want Bootcha's series to reach the Great Mole Hunt episode, because I want to know the final version of what went down with Travis and Chelsea Day. Chelsea seemed to get Sandi'd and left after rolling her eyes too obviously on a livestream, but Travis (a seasoned ex-Blizzard producer) was apparently investigated by private detectives as part of a hunt for Derek Smart's Secret Internal Spy Network when he first appeared. Oh those heady days gone by.

She was visibly not into it. Correct. This was when cig was very interested in their personal public image over the public image of their product. It was very routine for some goon to spot something or say something, and then inexplicably CIG would react to that in some fashion. Hence why it was believed CR and Sandi had people here on the forums literally giving them reports about what we found or were talking about. CIG was very fun during that era. Now they are effectively acting like an EA except without any successful games and all of the loot boxes. I don't understand why people can support them.

Well obviously because EA and other publishers are releasing reheated microwave meals while CI minus G is painstakingly handcrafting exquisite Crobbertsian gourmét. Who cares about some extremely suspect ten-dollar lootbox stuff, a real man buys a loving $750 spaceship, which doesn't work, but may some day, and anyway the more it costs the more valuable it automatically is and also not purchases but pledges. (my brain experiences neural degeneration every time I think about the people and their reasons for supporting Star Citizen at this point)

Nah I don’t really give a poo poo to be honest. People can wear whatever they want. I just thought he looked dumb because he’s going for the whole mil sim bro thing, but his beret doesn’t make sense. I’m not really a gatekeeper for the military, I’m just some intel weenie who joined for the most selfish reasons possible and is getting out after a grand total of 4 years to mooch off the American taxpayer in even more obnoxious ways. Now, if his UEE naval uniform was incorrect or had stolen space valor, I would hunt him to ends of the ‘Verse. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 19:25 on May 17, 2019 |

Fidelitious posted:Looking back with what we know now about Sandi now, I wonder what happened way back when Lisa Ohanian left. Here’s the deets on that, for those who’ve forgotten... Lisa put in her two weeks notice the day of the Sandi Monica bloodbath. Ben assured the community the day after that she got a job offer she couldn’t refuse. It had absolutely nothing to do with the firing of her real-life close friend Alyssa, nor with James’ instant termination for defending her, nor of Paul’s on-the-spot resignation after witnessing a screaming Bosswife meltdown in the workplace. It was therefore just a total coincidence that Lisa was moving on from the joyous fellowship there at CIG LA... Between June and October of 2015, CIG LA lost Travis, Chelsea, Jenvar, Lisa, Alyssa, James and Paul. 4 females fled or were fired from one office, all of them technically working for the best saleswoman since she was a little girl. Knowing what we now know about Sandi’s temper (it has a police record), there can hardly be any doubt that the stories about how it all went down in September were accurate. But for Derek Smart already having claimed the stories as his own during his summertime kickoff of his blog war, the Polygons and Kotakus probably would’ve been all over the story right alongside the Escapist. Hostile workplace stories are their favorite sort, but they just couldn’t bring themselves to give aid and comfort to the notorious Derek Smart and his scumbag crew of trolls and goons. As later reported by Level Magazine: quote:I spoke to two people whilst researching this article who are ex-employees of Cloud Imperium Games. A third source with a good deal of insight into the project didn't want us to reveal what kind of relationship he or she has to CIG. One of these people claims: “As you know, many ex-employees (and I can tell you they were all for real) contributed to the Escapist article written last year. Many came forward and told the truth in an effort to expose what was going on… That article was met with a wall of scorn and denial that none of us could have predicted from the fans. This was very disappointing to all of us that felt that the article could have served as a warning to the many backers who have invested so much of their money and gotten so little. But the fans didn’t want to hear it.” (Derek Smart ruins everything not already ruined by goons. How lucky for Chris and Sandi to have had such enemies!) It wasn’t too much later the Stacie left CIG LA, too. Unhappily, if that old Facebook post that popped up here was accurate. Apparently, she did a lot of thankless work as Building Manager but had credit taken for too much of it by some unnamed superior. Can’t imagine who that might’ve been. It’s kind of amazing, really. For as little as Sandi actually worked, she still managed to screwup an entire workplace. Especially for the women working there. She’s been a real managerial treasure, that gal!

It took off into a which hunt for a while and even led to some commands like the 82nd Airborne offering awards to guys finding it. Hilarious when it back fires they run into a 1st Sergeant whose unit doesn't wear unit patches. However it does get a little concerning that people would take it too far. I understand that some peeps lost friends in combat so it feels like an affront to them; that's a totally different discussion. For a lot of other people it always seemed like an act of classism that is growing dangerously apparent these days. Least you were smart enough to stop after four. I kept getting baited by sweet assignments. LostMy2010Accnt fucked around with this message at 20:02 on May 17, 2019 |
