Pretty sure when we hit 2030 there will still be people arguing on the internet that star citizen will be good until the rising seas reach their desktop

gently caress this is a terrible snipe

Is "23 weeks of trek" a threat? Sure seems so

"23 weeks of Trek"? Might as well just come right out and say, "Amber Alert incoming."

Wait I thought lando used his twitter account only for personal stuff or is tjat the lie he yells at people when he's feeling a little down and doesn't want to deal with angry backers on that particular day/month?

I really wonder what kind of system the Producers in SC use to manage their deliverables.

Kanban? Some juggernaught of an excel sheet? MS Project?

Or do they just do their hand wavium thing that CR does all the time pretending milestones are met and functionality is delivered?

Judging by their twitter job ads - they don't have any producers.

So nope, not even hand wavium.

Unless you paid for unexpected hilarity, and I guess most of us here at SA did that at some point.

The sharp change in the exchange rate at the time meant that even after inflation and fees I ended up with a little more money when I got a refund than I started, accidentally making gains off starcitizen is my proudest achievement.

Probably coincidence, but it did happen a few times in their vid.

Maybe he's emitting wind?

I wouldn't be too surprised if certain ship physics only kick in if there's a player within a certain radius to reduce server load.

Other than Chris being totally lost on the subject matter, what I like the most about this video is the part where Chris talks with absolute confidence about the laser grapples they definitely have in their game in March of 2015.

Here is my theory on the current situation.

The S42 video is just a pure fuckup. I don�t have much else to say about that. They said it would happen and not only did it never happen but the communication was complete crap. The reason: marketing team. The Marketing team likely wants to build up hype and likely believes it can achieved better when the content is presented at a �better� time.

This also goes for the features of Q4. The people that keep track of leaks will know that Q4 is big, like really big, if it all goes to plan. I�m certain that the marketing team is holding back information because they know that a sudden surge of info is much more effective at building hype than small bits of it. They have also learned that the roadmap changes a lot during development, therefore announcing the features a long time before completion is sure to make hype die down.

Expect an explosion of info in Q4 of 2020 if my theory is correct.

This has been my thought as well. CR wants to put a cork in the bottle so that when gets to pop it open in Q4, all that jizz will splash all over us and we can all moan in harmony together.

Nah, they put more effort in their responses than CIG in their game, those responses are hand made each time.
