That would mean that, originally, they were trying to hide that they were married. Now, they're hiding that they're separated. Which isn't material in either case, but it's like they have to compulsively mislead people whenever possible.

So I'm going to believe it's true that they're separated because it's the most amusing possibility. Sort of a comedy version of Occam's Razor.

Well, if we are allowed to believe whatever we want, I'm going to believe she left CR for Ben Lesnick and now living in a 3 way with Ben and Alexis(?), where she dresses up as Misty from Pokemen for Ben's pleasure and is the meat in a Ben/Alexis sandwich.

PS: Hope nobody was eating as they read that.

Is it me or is SC getting uglier? Maybe it's just because of most of the new footage is focused on player characters and interiors.

All the interiors also look like places I'd hate to spend any time in. Generic scifi modular hallways. This game is supposed to be the ultimate escapism for middle-aged office drones, but they insist on making everything look and feel like the dullest places possible.

Even Euro Truck Simulator has nice scenery to look at.

I hope MSFS2020 adds prison gameplay. If you make an airspace violation FAA revokes your pilot's license and you will need to wait several weeks in real time until you can get a new one. You can speed the process by working in a West Virginia coal mine.

Never been done before! Microsoft are knocking it out the park fidelity wise! More gameplay in a single mountain than in the whole of Skyrim!!!!

4 million allows CIG to stay above their expenses i think. I seem to recall estimates put them at around 3 million a month worst case expenses .. i could be wrong.

This is good for Star Citizen.

Instead, what will happen if you violate airspace in MSF2020 will range from the NTSB interrogating you in real life to DEVGRU storming your personal residence and pumping you full of bullets in "self-defense" while you conveniently reach for a throw down gun. Just like everything else, MSF2020 is taking fidelity to places SC can only dream of.

It's amazing to me that they didn't think through one single consequence of adding this mechanic to the game. I mean it's CIG so it shouldn't be amazing, but still- they did not investigate a single edge case before they dumped that poo poo and walked away. Do they even have project management? Is it literally just developers kind of noodling around in the code and if something sticks for more than a minute they just call it a feature and ship it?

They probably had some project management back in 2013 or so. Now, though, I doubt they have much more than project mismanagement.

I've been replaying the original Mass Effect with some fan-made graphics mod and the Citadel hub where you run around in small parts of a giant space station are just completely putting anything CIG has done to shame. It feels so much more alive with little details here and there than a thumb bear and his cohorts will ever manage, and this is a game that came out 5 years before the SC Kickstarter even finished.

I just look at those faces and wonder what the hell happened to all that time and research CIG claim to have put into making realistic looking faces, and instead we see these plastic featureless things instead.

It's been a while since I've looked closely at their character models and yeah, what is going on there? If I try to cast my mind back 5+ years I seem to recall them looking at least decent, so I don't know what happened since then.

Every shopkeep image I see in this thread, the character looks horrendous.

One of the saddest pics I've seen posted here (besides the Humility one) is some backer that took a pic of his notepad in front of his workstation stating he was going to document bugs. And I can't remember the details, but he made it sound so self-deflating.
