What makes me straight up mad to the bones about CIG was that Chris got the money. I actually want to make a great space game, I was raised on Freespace and Homeworld, I built the flight model for the original BSG total conversion, I know how to make a great space game. gently caress, ask to see the Kickstarter trailer I made. But no. Chris Mc. Bumblefuck made all that money and squandered the hell out of the dream opportunity to make the best drat space game ever. Instead what we're getting is a mediocre FPS that's janked to poo poo and a flight model that sucks more rear end than an enema.

Depends on your legal jurisdiction, some places you're straight up boned, whereas others have laws that extend your consent over the content in question. So, apparently I missed my chance to hit up FYAD, tell them they were all terrible and they should call their moms? Buggeration.

saddest thing was the one backer in 2015 that sold his farm to fund some JPEG's  funniest thing was the holiday live stream. Especially the moment when sandi facepalming flashes on screen after a gently caress up that i cant remember.

Highlight of the decade surely has to be when Crobber did the live stream where he played the game and it was clear, between the tech issues, he'd never played it before in his loving life.

Your wants and desires don't matter and have no market value. You need to check with what the law says in your specific situation to determine the best course of action. (beaten by Hav...)

Bumble He posted:yeah it feels like that and i am afraid it will end like this. no big bang, no grand finale. after i declared the end of star citizen i stumbled across an article from everyone's favorite game magazine, german gamestar. the article is from today and its content is based on nothing more then tony z's talk during citcon. here are some snippets: "incredible tech-demo: star citizen's economy will even simulate envy!" "the economy will simulate human desires" "npc pirates will not only exists but actively make the decision to become pirates." "these simulated npcs are called 'quantas'. you will not be able to see them in-game BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARY" "each and every quanta will have it's desires and character traits. cleverness, ambition and happyness will decide how this quanta will live." "Quantas will decide where they want to work or if they become pirates" "but according to tony the quantas will not be implemented into the game anytime soon." So what we are seeing here is an INVISIBLE feature, which can easily be faked, but which nevertheless will not be implemented into the game soon. I imagine playing a new racing game, which is in fact a bog standard racing game BUT: the spectators around the track are "quantas" which actively decided to visit the race i am in. while another million "quantas" (which are also simulated in the background) are not at the race but do something else.

The Citizens have this fantasy that Crobberts is some kind of secret coding genius gamer, that he is behind the scenes personally coding the back end between gaming sessions but the truth is he's never touched a game since the 90's, maybe before that.

Hyperlight Drifter was a very successful Kickstarter game. We will see about Dual Universe Space Cossack game completely vapor'd, that was sad. Phoenix Point has had a....mediocre reception on release. It may turn out well in the long run.

Hav posted:Quanta is a dumb name for an 'Agent'. i just watched tony's presentation. there is a lot of funny stuff in there. one time he talks about a quanta that opens a factory and treats his workers badly. (because of the quantas personality mix) then he places a mine on some planet with millions of unemployed quantas. nothing happens. they are still unemployed. tony: “well thats because there is no refinery here hehe“ applause from the audience. he places a refinary and the quantas now all have a job. applause from the audience. tony, why did non of your million fully simulated quantas open a goddam refinary? beforehand you told us they are basically completely simulated human beings (which are not visible to the human player by the way.) when chris annnounced the 10 to 1 human/npc ratio it was advertised as completely rendered npcs which you could follow through their daily routine if you wished. in 2019 tony says that its much better to simulate them in the background. it really is doublethink a la george orwell. the comments beneath are full of praise like “this will revolutionize how npcs act in videogames“ totally ignoring the fact that these are NOT npcs but quantas (which is another hype term for nothing) BumbleOne fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Dec 11, 2019 |

Also everyone kept saying "he's applying quantum physics to SC's economy!!!!" because he used that term which is lol Quanta is just the plural of quantum which just means an entity involved in an interaction, using that term means nothing more than using the term NPC or "interacting NPCs".

quote:I can tell him as someone who only have the Aurora, you should be happy cause you will play EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the game without skipping any part. To me personally i think having more ships means you are skipping some chapters "grinding to others" of the SC game. I want to earn every ship, armor and weapon with in game money. so much im willing to completely destroy my Aurora at day one of the live patch and wire all my money to a random player just to start from ABSOLUTE ZERO UEC and grind "play" my way up to a Javelin.. But hey thats just me So how does he manage that, or will the SC servers be online for the next 30 years = confirmed? Thats developement time included.

Kikas posted:so tell me thread, what is your favourite Star Citizen moment of the decade? Can be a high point in anything, legit hype, actual progress or uh, you know, the most scummy move or the stupidest decision ever. There are so many it's difficult to choose. But I'll pick up the one that made me laugh so much I thought I could pass out. In fact, every time I watch it I burst out laughing. The infamous "ramp" incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCtdyNFwQWo&t=6189s This is absolute perfection. The desperation in the voice when she says "noooooo". The glitches and flickering happening on screen at the same time. Only to reveal the disaster. It's priceless and a perfect summary of what Star Citizen is, still today.

The was also the moment that "Derek Smart was right" about .... Sandi Gardiner was Chris Roberts wife, which they had never openly admitted and when he proceeded to prove it, they did a 180 and where all "What do you mean, we have always been honest and open about that" having, never for 3 years of taking pledges, made that public. Was Sandi in the SQ42 cast before they where open about their relationship?

Bumble He posted:i just watched tony's presentation. there is a lot of funny stuff in there. It was always my impression that SC had the intention to follow the true and tested Mario Kart approach: When a player is not around the NPCs just follow some basic AI of the kind citizens are currently creaming themselves over. Only when a player is close would they switch to subsumption or whatever to be indistinguishable from a real person who drops a banana peel just in front of you.

Bumble He posted:yeah i read that to. everyone agreed that he must be a genius because “he applies quantum physics to something“ This. There are real whales swimming in real oceans getting confused by propeller noises and beaching themselves on real shorelines that are less stupid than the idiots who suck up what Tony Z says as something profound and meaningful, and not just the crazed ramblings of some burned out winging it stoner dude with a back story in game production who Chris brought in because no one else would work with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t36=&v=8dL3nrrj2ZA I would urge you to check the above video out if you haven't already seen it. In it, 2014 Chris chats to Tony Z by basically not letting him get a word in edgeways, talks about "Loose Cannon" ("everything that GTA3 and above was, long before they were, looking better than it was...") and so much more. It is just loving hilarious - the absolute pinnacle of Crobbers' hubris, and a sharp sharp contrast to the subdued figure who closed out CitizenCon 2019. What a difference five years makes, friends.

 Some of us are more fortunate than others...some in the community need to realise that fact.I'll preface this by saying on the whole the SC community is amazing, I always see people in global/spectrum and reddit eager to help, share info and time with those new to the game. I fully acknowledge probably 90% of people reading this aren't part of this problem and i'm glad we have you. BUT I will say there have been a few moments lately where I've really become shocked at how others are treated or spoken to and here's an example. I was flying around the other day and see a new guy in global, he's asking where he is,, how to call his ship, all's going well until a random guy jumped in and then it went from great to, awful Heres how it went: RG - Random Guy NG - New Guy NG upon getting to his hangar " There she is! I can actually see my ship, she's a beauty? How do i get in?" RG: "What ship is it? NG: " I think Aurora something, it is BIG" RG: "Lol you're calling an Aurora beautiful? it's probably the ugliest ship in the game" NG: "I like it, how can I make some good Money?" RG:" In that thing? No chance, get a better ship" NG :"Oh my ship is not good then?  it is cheapest i could afford, I bought wrong thing?"....and that is where my heart just broke, no ship is poo poo, no one should be feel their purchase wasn't enough to enjoy this game we all love so much. There is never a need to poo poo on someone's ship choice and especially so when they're new and in awe of the SC universe. Just NO. I did what I could and made a up mission for him (Hey NG I need someone with a small ship on a highly covert mission who wont attract attention) and we had a good time, i sent him 100k and showed him the ropes, he didn't seem too put off after I explained what he could do (delivery. bounties etc) Not everyone can buy themselves into all gameplay loops or get the best ships, and the vast majority of you i KNOW understand that. If you are someone who's previously spoken like this please consider how off putting it could be to a game we love and how it is never appropriate. And if you're someone who has seen this kind of talk but don't instigate, then maybe pipe up in chat, help the guy out, tell him the benefits of his new ship and make them feel welcome. Thanks!
