It also, in true CIG fashion, passively lies about the state of the project. Reading those controls and taking them at face value you might not be blamed for thinking there's a game here and those controls work and do the things they say they do.

Coffee chat: My workplace has a starbucks in the lunch cafe (that you pay for), some good espresso machines in various buildings (free), and the standard office coffee everyone has everywhere. There are other game companies that do have coffee baristas, Riot comes to mind which is located pretty close to CiG, maybe the Crobear got jealous of them and had to have his own coffee employee?

Not quite 90 days tops, but definitely heading for a negative position within the next year. Makes you wonder how much they actually had to pay for that investment to save their bacon.

Blue On Blue posted:Why are they pretending this is all good when all their expenses keep going up year over year with no direct return in product release Because of The Perception. If they were to admit that they are basically running it hard into the ground, the money they do get currently will slow, once that happens the old "sensitive dependancies on initial conditions" kicks in and it's lights out and chains on gates faster than CR can fumble for his Porsche key. The only way to keep it going now is by basically painting bad news as positive news. quote:
Bravo Chris, bravo.

Makes you wonder how much they actually had to pay for that investment to save their bacon. The best bit is, that bacon saver, that'll need repaying at some undetermined point plus interest. All the owed money is begining to build up quickly, how CR can walk more than one step without constantly crapping himself in grim terror of the realisation of the situation is beyond me.

Well, he's really dumb and he thinks people will buy his poo poo. Also Ortwin is probably going to offer him as a sacrificial lamb. There will be a video of Chris jazz-handsing while saying "I did crimes. I did all the crimes. I am the crime mastermind of CIG." and then when he tries to shaky hands wild gesturing explain that video isn't real no jury on Earth will be able to tell the difference. Even a jury of citizens will be like "but the video had such fidelity!!!"

Sedisp posted:You laugh but people with Silicon Valley start up brain will gleefully do this. In my college town there were a bunch of fly-by-night tech startups with dubious products. They were always trying to poach recent grads, one even tried to hire me when I was a senior. I was an international politics major and they offered to “teach me how to code”. They always had some really dumb and gimmicky fringe benefit they tried to peddle in lieu of a decent salary. I remember the one that contacted me was like “yeah we only pay $30,000 a year in an expensive college town, but our freezer is always full of freeze pops! Aren’t we zany and cool!? Come work for us please.” But now I work for a private defense contractor and all of them are like “we’ll pay you well, but you’ll work in a drab, grey and windowless building; oh and bring your own coffee because our one Keurig broke 3 years ago.” colonelwest fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Dec 21, 2019 |

Unless it’s near a particularly hot object, it will stand out like a Christmas Tree in deep space.

Hi guys back from running shitton of missions in Warframe's Empyrean. Apparently some developers really love their fanbase and want them to have fun or some poo poo so they're fixing problems. Can you believe it? Current fun changes include: -GREATLY increased material rewards for missions, since repair costs are currently too hard to fix. I'm talking about like x2 and x3 times as much, straight up. -insta-repair drones for salvage will be added to rewards list -lots of mechanical changes to ship repairs -The two unique weapon blueprints will now be shared across all party members. -No more endless boarding parties, each Crewship has a maximum of 4 ramsleds now -item vacuum's been improved -No seeking missiles for Archwings to stop big ships from one-shotting players And tons of other things. There are still plenty of bugs and connection issues can be a bit iffy, but the mode is really starting to take shape. Also they apparently had time for a spooky new tileset jesus christ what the gently caress DE this is sick: https://i.imgur.com/kyQPP6N.png Some bugs and hiccups include: -Balancing, balancing, balancing -The fighters in the Veil Proxima, especially outriders recover HP way too quickly -Still a lot of collision issues, particularly that one loving grineer destroyer Future updates include: -Archwing has now been shown to be in need of rebalancing. -Modular Archwing -More expansion of the overall model -Squadlink Here is DE playing their own game on stream, warts and all. I really recommend y'all watch it, the gang has a really good energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j42WJXL8O_Y Skip to about the halfway to see Reb fly around Saturn Proxima and Veil Proxima.
