Had my doubts with Fargo/Inxile but they sort of earned my trust back even though they can't hit a release date worth a drat.

There's no real need to preorder it now. You can do so like a week before hand and still get all the goodies and be good to go on launch day. I used to preorder games to ensure that I got a copy on release, but there's no real reason to do that now what with digital distribution.

What's a family trip to Japan and those crappy memories compared to life long memories of a jpeg? I want to tell my children how amazing my virtual space ship is, not historical landmarks or actually spending time with people.

Asmodai_00 posted:okay but Alpha, friend. Anytime you come up against the (seemingly infinite) glass walls of "can't do this yet" - just shriek 'alpha!' and carry on. The only fully implemented feature CI has managed to push out is payment processing. ----- I remain forever blown away by the fact that this has eaten alive the work and money of so many people and looks to keep going until it bursts at the seams all at once like some undead golem held together by Lich Robert's undying will. I hope it happens all at once. No announcements and sad buildup. Just offline one day. Offices locked. Websites 404'd. Porsches stolen. Just think: It took 8ish people (and some contractors offsite) and about a million bucks for our little indy dev to make Darkest of Days - a game most of you have probably never heard of or played. But it was built from scratch by a room of nerds (two insanely dedicated code monkeys made the engine) funded by a rich dude that really wanted a civil war video game. The end result is a dorky time travel shooter with no shortage of flaws... But it's playable and fun and you get to take a microwave cannon to town on Roman Legionnaires so I'm going to call it a success. And we managed it without mocap, too.

Beet Wagon posted:Instead of doing it the way every single space game ever does it (smaller ships are faster but with less range and cargo, and larger ships can go farther and carry more but move slower) CIG has decided to take a novel approach by making smaller ships worse in every measurable way, in the hopes that it will force players to live out Chris Roberts's "WWII Aircraft Carrier In Space" fantasy. They expect owners of smaller ships to be hitching rides on carriers (not implemented) and transports (not implemented) any time they want to go somewhere. This could work if they made smalls ships quicker on short hops but made the large ships have some quicker method of system to system travel or jumpgates between central hub systems or something that would encourage people to fly the small ships but hire on to a carrier for a long haul flight. Of course you would need at least 50 times as many locations to make it work and have a game that works but why get caught up in the details?

My wife works for some bigwigs in the financial sector in Manhattan. She gets those fancy shoes and bags gifted to her on a regular basis. Her nieces love her since she tends to regift half of the stuff to them.

If you need an 800 dollar pair of shoes or a spaceship for a dopamine hit and it's within your budget, why are we still talking? If owning them enables a fantasy for you that you'll some day be in the perfect position to use them, and that makes you happy, then great. We all need to recognize what it is we want and need at the core of ourselves and try to fulfill it. Maybe that's the dream of being fabulous at a big event, maybe it's the dream of finally being important and successful in a video game- maybe it's the dream of being an anime girl online. Own it, and in owning it, let go of the deep fear of rejection and judgement that keeps you loudly mocking others because you're scared of what you want. Is this the same thing as an endorsement of Star Citizen? I don't think so- it's an endorsement of the motivations of whales, though I think they've been lied to about this particular product. I don't hate Clifford for spending 60,000 bucks on this while dressing like an anime girl online- seriously, I admire that he lacks whatever shame or fear of social rejection holds the rest of us back from waving our freak flags to the same degree. I just wish he'd picked a product whose owners deserved his money.

I guess I'm saying that there was a point where I was really into internet spaceships and I'd get extremely excited to theorycraft about them and the ways we were all going to fly them later and why not throw money at them? And then I got burned by like five mmo's in a row and I decided that all video games are trash and it's better to sit back and yell angrily at everyone else because they're stupid for liking things that will fail. But that didn't really feel as good and honestly was kind of a bummer. So I took some time and looked in myself and now I've realized that all video games are trash, but that it's okay if people get excited about them, because the world is trash and we should cherish every little thing that sparks joy without hurting anyone else in this endless holocaust hellscape of a civilization.
