The only reason this game doesn't make Duke Nukem Forever look good is because that game had a literally piece of poo poo as an item you could grab and throw.


And Chris is halfway there with his devotion to toilets.

When they say that a great weight eas lifted off their shoulders, backers are still confused as to whether that meant Ben Lesnick or Star Citizens development time.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Each and every week, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.

Star Citizen is poop

The backers have as much resolve as a paper bag. All they do is consume Star Citizen. Every so often their burning rage lands them at the doorstep of Cloud Imperium, waiting for an answer.

And Chris Roberts and co are there, ready and waiting to stamp it out all over their front porch.

Always a good sign, in a project with huge delays, in pre-alpha state with hop to beta supposedly coming out this year (:lol:, it's never reaching beta, come'on), 500 people working on it, and more than a quarter million dollars thrown at it.

Looking forward to a future progress update being just a smilie of :iiasb:

If you factor in tax credits, subscriptions, investments, and possible other sources of income (cross promotion deals), they are probably somewhere in the region of 400 million by now. This could very well become the first half billion pre-alpha.

Early days though, CIG can take their time to get it right :P

A list of Star Citizen White Knights tactics from someone on SC Reddit.

quote:

This calls for my list of white knight tactics. I’m up to 23



1 Attack the messengers. The easiest and most common tactic.

2 Claim an issue is exaggerated/overblown

3 Say they haven’t seen the issue so therefore it doesn’t exist

4 Claim the issue is a hoax/fake news

5 Says their community is the best and competing communities are terrible. Meanwhile fanboys of those competing communities are making the same claim of how their community is the best.

6 Says fanboys of another community, usually a competitor, are worse

7 Create top level posts praising the product for something unrelated to distract from the issue. Talk about how much they have enjoyed the product despite the “minor” issues the “naysayers” are reporting

8 Claim the people posting about the issue are from a competing product community

9 Claim people complaining are only doing it to get something free

10 Call everyone complaining armchair developers/designers/managers/other related profession even though they aren’t in the stated profession themselves so don’t know anything themself even though knowledge of the profession is not relevant to the criticism.

11 Gatekeep who should be allowed to report the issue. Saying that since a journalist doesn’t play the game that they don’t know what they are talking about when all they are doing is reporting on it and usage of the product has no relevance.

12 Downvote/report any criticism to silence it. Demand moderators ban the “trolls”

13 Grasp at straws. Misrepresent people’s arguments to distract from the actual issue.

14 If the company does eventually respond to and/or fix the issue, praise how great the company is for listening to the community. Commonly said by the people who claimed the issue was exaggerated or didn’t really exist in the first place.

15 Claim people reporting the issue just have hate boners for the game.

16 Over-exaggerate numbers reported to attempt to make the criticism sound ridiculous

17 Say that if you dont like it, just go away

18 Demands subreddit moderators blacklist Youtubers/websites/journalist that don’t give absolute praise for the product

19 Feign ignorance of how someone could possibly have problems with the product. Example “Is anyone else’s confused about the criticism of bugs?”

20 Use mental gymnastics to invent reasons why what a company did something stupid, bad, or anti-user is actually a good idea.

21 “Lets see you do better!” or claim that unless you are in a related profession then you have no right to complain.

22 When a change or new feature is said to be needed, they argue against it being added. Even when they use features happily every day that some other fanboy in the past also argued against before it was added.

23 Claim reviewers giving it a bad review use a competing product exclusively


quote:

Literally only seen a couple of these. Maybe you pay more attention than I do, but nothing is as bad as you say nor is the project as perfect as these apparent “white knights” say it is.

all I will add is that I hated the actual poo poo out of the protagonist no matter which of the three settings the personality meter clunked to. It actually soured me slightly on the idea of a named, relatively background-set protagonist... because what if they make them someone I despise?

They kinda did. Your entire family dies in Kirkwall and the protagonist was around to let it happen. The moral beats were leaden too.

Even better, Jurgen Prochnow probably knew a little about why it was dumb.

Edit: re 2.4Ghz. If your gaming is interrupted by the microwave being on, turn it off and throw it away. It shouldn’t be emitting outside of the enclosure.

Baby monitors and cameras are the biggest source of badly modulated 2.4Ghz, so generally stay off wifi unless you’re toilet-posting. Copper pipes are a great source of grounding and can make walls more wifi opaque, but again, don’t use wifi for gaming. It’s silly. Latency out the wazoo.
