Like, isn't that the point? Everything is obfuscated and if you squint you can pretend you saw that SSOCSS with Item 2.0 and a maraschino cherry on top made progress, ergo we'll get the game. If you're not a skeptic it might look like things are happening but you're deterred from looking too closely. If you're a skeptic you can't quite parse it well enough to say anything, and if you're a cultist then you don't need "evidence" in the first place.

Goons, I seek your wisdom. In the near-future time I will find myself localised entirely, if temporarily, within the city limits of Las Vegas. What, praytell can or must one do or perform while in that geolocational biome?

It was a rip off anyway. Caesars is honestly kind of a dump now, there are much better more impressive casinos. Fremont Street is more fun than the strip, although you should explore a few casinos with cool architecture on the strip like the Venician. There's a bunch of fun non-gambling stuff to do, like the pinball museum, mob museum, and other similar stuff - look around. The food is amazing, have at least one night where you pick a nice restaurant and treat yourself. Look for the hidden pizza parlor at the Cosmopolitan!

Oh boy, finally caught up to the thread. Glad to see citconned was a smashing success! I'm now 100% convinced the funding tracker is bullshit. There is no way that  performance resulted in their largest monthly take to date. No. loving. Way. And the Calder money, I'm wondering if that wasn't some backdoor, money laundering, financial fuckery where there is a benefit to Calder even if he never sees a return on investment. Also I'm really happy to see that SQ54 has Honestly though, if they could get an arched Battlefield game playable for PC and consoles, releasing it would probably be the smartest strategy decision this project has ever had.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Goons, I seek your wisdom. Ditto the Fremont street recommendation. I didn’t know whether I’d like Vegas, but I’m a sucker for neon / city light overload ambiance and it definitely delivers in spades. If you like “bright lights big city” then a rooftop bar along the Strip can be a feast for the eyes. Also ditto Scruff’s note about the street talent. The walkabout magicians and musicians are next level. Last time I was there I caught a string quartet of unassuming looking college kids. They punched above their weight class and we’re a thrill to listen to. Last time my wife and I went, went with no particular plans and just picked restaurants and shows at random, and pretty much everything was great. I think the only thing I was kinda disappointed by was “The Beatles - Love” Cirque de Soleil show, and that only kinda. (It was less acrobatic/thrilling than other Cirque shows we’d seen. It sounded fantastic, but mostly I just didn’t enjoy how arbitrary it all felt conceptually. Which is probably more me being fuddy-duddy than a shortcoming of the show...) I haven’t experienced much outside the old and new Strips though, and even then, I just hit the obvious spots on the few occasions I’ve visited. Knowing your affection for weaponry, Jobbo, you might want to check out Battlefield Vegas. It might be too touristy, I don’t know, but they’ve apparently got a massive variety of gear for rent and the reviews are very good. There’s an over-the-top Vegasness to so much about the city — it seems like the same is true for the range experience, if you’re in the mood for that. Might be a chance to plink with something you’d not easily come across at the typical joint.

I seriously couldn't have given a single poo poo about Cirque du Soliel when I went to Las Vegas back in 2016 for EVO, but my wife humored my stupid hobby, so I figured it was only fair she pick the activities for the day-and-two-halves we were there and they weren't any tournaments I was interested in, and she wanted to go to a Cirque du Soliel show. drat, dude. I thought I was going to suffer through it, but I think I ended up enjoying it even more than her. I'm not sure what the name of the show was. The one with the swimming pool in the middle. It was one of those things that I never would've done if it weren't for my wife, and that's one of the things that I love about her. The tickets were pretty drat expensive, if I remember right, but you deffo get your money's worth. When I went to Vegas in 2012 with some other friends, we ended up going to Penn and Teller. They were very good, of course. My only complaint is that, at least for the show I went, I had seen most of the tricks they did on TV, YouTube, etc. already. If you're not super into their shows or don't watch a lot of magic trick stuff on YouTube, I think you're actually more likely to feel like you got your money's worth than if you're a big fan who has seen most of the stuff they've done outside of their stage show. Anyway, I'll go ahead and echo the sentiment that these shows are both worth your time and money and are way, way more fun and better entertainment than gambling.

LOL AiDungeon is so good You are Chris Roberts, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see that it's indeed a ruined city. The walls surrounding it were destroyed years ago by an unknown force. There is no sign of life within the ruins though > look for signs of a game You walk through the ruins and find nothing but rubble and dust. You don't see any signs of life either. You begin to wonder if there was ever a game here. You go back to your room and take out your book. You read about how games work and what they do > try to understand how games work Games are created using magic. Magic is used to create things such as spells or potions. These items can be used to help the player in some way. For example, a potion could heal the player. Another potion might give them extra strength. A spell could make them invisible > mix a cryengine spell You pour yourself a glass of water and begin to mix a cryengine spell. It takes you a few minutes but eventually you finish it. You then drink the potion. You feel better now than when you were before. You also notice that you no longer feel tired > wave hands around in a haphazard fashion You continue to play with your new found powers. You attempt to use your new abilities to help you on your quest. You start waving your arms around wildly. This causes you to trip over your own feet several times. You quickly realize this isn't working so well > go back to the drawing board and change engine You think you've finally figured out how to use your powers properly. You decide to test out your new found skills by creating a new engine. You spend a few hours trying to come up with something. Finally you manage to create an engine which works perfectly > make the best darn space sim ever You spend another day making sure everything is perfect. You even add a little more to the engine. You call it "The Space Sim Engine" (or something similar) > think to yourself "that name sounds mighty familiar" You suddenly hear a voice in your head. It's the voice of someone who has played your game before. He says "I know what you did, I just didn't know where you got it from". You turn around and see a young man dressed in black robes standing nearby > Ask Derek if he wants a drink Derek looks at you strangely. He asks why you're asking him if he knows anything about your game. You explain that you heard his voice while playing and thought you should tell him since he must have had a hand in its creation. Derek nods and tells you to follow him > follow Derek You follow Derek into a small cave. Inside you see a large table covered with various objects. On top of the table sits a human skull. The rest of the cave is filled with bookshelves and other reading material. Derek explains that he came across the skull while exploring the area > ask derek if it is a tier 0 skull You ask Derek if it is a tier 0 skull. Derek confirms that it is and gives you a small piece of parchment. He reads from the parchment: This is a letter from my master. I am sorry for not writing sooner, but I have been busy with other things lately > AND? AAND? What does that mean? Derek looks confused. > AAND it is automated assumption of New Data AAND it is automated assumption of New Data. You look at Derek again. He seems to be struggling to comprehend what you said. > tell Derek he just doesn't understand game development You tell Derek that he just doesn't understand game development. Derek seems surprised by this statement.

And the funny thing is from what was posted above, they dumped off the Con Air plane close to the tour place and we rode by it. 2) Try to make it to Hoover dam and take the dam tour. I'm sure there are tons of shuttles that will get you there. 3) And yeah, treat yourself to a good steak. The city holds its own with them. I'm not quite sure what the current situation on the best buffet (not sure you like them, but it is a Vegas thing). 4) If you walk by someone that are slapping cards handing them out, take it.

Scruffpuff posted:I think the saddest thing here is that Chris, who can't make a game, siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from any other studio that could have delivered the equivalent of Star Citizen. Had he not presumed himself to be the manifest destiny of PC developers, we'd be on the second content expansion by now. Your point, and the point of ethical vs. legal scams, rests on this. Chris thinking he's something he's not is what sparked this; the backers swallowing the same delusion cemented it. I frankly doubt this is the case. Sure, it siphoned away some money from other games but it mostly created its own demand. What I am trying to say is that, if SC never existed, the backers would have spent some amount of money in some other games but they most certainly wouldn't have spent as much. In other words: Chris, who can't make a game, siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from insurance, alimony, mortgage and other payments, as well as regular bank accounts.

No, it could easily be in hundreds of millions of dollars. It wouldn't be into a single game, sure, but many titles fill in niches that SC promises to "one day" fill completely. Be it EVE, Elite, NMS or KSP, all of those would profit tens of millions of dollars easily, some more, some less, of course. There are new space games being made right now that are completely ignored by SC whales and new players alike as they continue to pour money into the never materializing dream of BDSSE.
