Wow, that actually made me a bit dumber... I'm sure, with reddit getting the pitchforks out over the lack of progress, that CIG would keep quiet about an "amazing breakthrough".

Initial 10 minutes The acting isnt that bad. I've seen much worse The plot is extremely contrived however The parallels between the real life sandi and the movie character are hilarious She does nothing but goto movie auditions all day Her husband stays at home and works on his novel , his masterpiece which he can never finish because of his deep rooted mental issues I gotta keep going

"Family style" Meaning you have to share with the other 20 nerds crammed at the table. How much did they pay for this again?

That's the Achille's Heel of this entire scam. There is no loving way, needing goodwill like they do, and needing money like they do, and increased confidence in the product, that CIG would hide anything that would prove significant advancement. To show real, quantifiable progress, like a working flight model, fun dogfighting, functioning physics, anything really, wouldn't just bolster confidence but also suck back in some of the more recenty disillusioned. In short, it would be a financial windfall they'd never, ever pass up. To me, that's the strongest evidence we have that CIG has nothing. So we get more JPEGs, more imagination, more what-ifs, and more dreams.

As you said, as desperate for money and good press as they are, they’re not going to hold anything back. Also, aside from Lando going “there are some things we can’t show you. *wink tehehe” once in a while there is absolutely no evidence for it. CIG doesn’t even make scripted demos anymore since sandworm-gate. Plus, it torpedos the whole “most open game development ever” nonsense. It’s funny that CIG has actual become much more honest over the past year or two, especially since the Calder investment. All they show anymore is exactly what they have, more art assets and vague promises. The cultists just want to believe that all of the crazy promises from the heady and expansionary early days of CIG are still being secretly worked on, even when CIG itself is constantly walking them back and implying that none of it will ever be in the game.

In 2023, John Carreyrou's book about Star Citizen comes out. On page 202: Q: As the project started to decline, were you goons really plugged in to what was happening? Some say you were out of touch by that point. A: Dude. They did a concierge (author's note: these were backers who ultimately lost more than $1,000 on the project) event in Cologne, and we had a loving image of their menu in like two days!

CIG doesn’t even make scripted demos anymore since sandworm-gate. Plus, it torpedos the whole “most open game development ever” nonsense. That's mostly true, but there is this: there is a "secret dev build," out in plain sight. It's Squadron 42. It is completely secret, because of course Chris' brilliant plot strokes must not be exposed before their time. It is not dependent on having a bunch of college kids concoct an MMO from CryEngine. It is the hope and salvation of this entire multiyear enterprise. A day or so ago, I posted something suggesting that the lulz might be ending, with the scent of failure in the wind. I was wrong. Squadron 42 is coming, and the whole crowd, from the largest whale to the smallest that Kazan, are utterly unprepared for it to suck so badly that Crobberts entire aura will lose its luster. That will be a moment to treasure. Or a moment to eat crow, if Squadron 42 does not suck. If that happens, I will apologize to all of the above here.

So CIG charged $275 for a meal that I could get at my local German restaurant in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, for 30 bucks; and I actually could sit at my own table instead of being packed in like cattle. Then the Crobbler and company sat them down for a hard sell pitch for a $675 JPEG, and ran off with a six figure haul like thieves into the night. The poor dumb scammed bastards then tweeted and posted all over the place with pictures chronicling their shame, convinced that they are truly privileged and that their new life in space is just around the corner. What a magical evening. Nigerian scammers should start holding conventions and bar meetups.

I'm almost done. I found myself skipping through 5 - 10 minute chunks because the plot pacing was so slow a tedious trying to establish the end result , the flash backs/forwards were painful The biggest annoyance so far is they spelled it prozack for some reason , instead of prozac

The drinks are in there, I hope they got at least completely wasted for that price. (And then bought 3 Nautilii while drunk, ofc.)

 "Attention will be paid to the character model, animations and voice recordings coming from an actor. Thereby the character should look more real. Hideo Kojima was mentioned as a counterexample. He uses three different characters for the character model, the animations and the voice recordings." Chris Roberts > Hideo Kojima
