As embarrassing as that exchange is, I'd believe those two rubes would do that to any streamer that expressed an interest in "playing games".

Micro, mini, teacup, etc pigs are not real and are the result of animal abuse in the form of malnutrition by breeders. Properly fed they will grow anywhere between ~70 to 200+ lbs depending on the actual breed of the pig.

Its funny how Star Citizens who want EVE Online in their game without 90% of the work. I still find it baffling how many discord servers have Star Citizen chat rooms with nerds in the echo chamber just daydreaming of how things would be, and how "epic space battles" will be a thing.

EVE fights even with good FC's are messy as hell. Now imagine everything is realtime with 20 players in ships trying to play realtime FTL, with pilots and gunners and turrets. Don't these kids realize that, it just won't happen?

I don't think it matters to them that it won't happen. It's not about playing a game for them, it's about reinforcing their self-image as a person who would play a game, and deliberately choosing to hang that self-image on a project that isn't actually going to require them to play a game. As long as Star Citizen promises to be a high-fidelity space simulator with infinite detail at all scales where a good player will excel and win the respect, adulation, and deference of everyone else, they can imagine that, yes, this is the game they've been waiting for, this is the reason they don't play other games -- they're waiting for Star Citizen, which is the only game with the ambition and detail that they crave. They'll spend money every year to buy ships that demonstrate their commitment to the dream and lay the groundwork for their triumphant career in the BDSSE, but deep down they're also quietly grateful that the game is nowhere near delivering anything like that dream, because if it ever released, they would have to confront the sad facts that they don't like it, they don't want to play it, they especially don't want to play it with other people, and they don't want to run the risk that they might be bad at playing it.

And boy, does CIG go the extra mile catering to these guys, from empty patches that encourage their customers to wait for the next patch instead of playing this one, to gameplay features that are always waiting on invisible back-end improvements that never seem to improve anything, to friendly echo chambers where they can theorycraft and dream to their heart's content.

Nearly 10 years on and Squadron 42, the only part of this goddamned shitshow I was ever actually interested in, is still nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, the TIE Fighter Total Conversion for X-Wing Alliance just came out and it's actually pretty good.

My first real job was doing QA on government-contracted software for the FAA and USAF. The software's purpose was to design more efficient take-off and landing routes at airports now that many airports and air bases had more advanced tech for helping planes position themselves on approach etc. This was particularly big for the USAF since saving fighter-jet fuel is a big cost savings.
QA was a very big thing because computers can be very bad at floating point math and getting the wrong digit in the hundreds place could be the difference between flying smoothly between a gap and smashing into the side of a mountain and killing everyone on board.

I guess my point is that this was a partially military funded project with basically infinite money and our testing procedure was not anywhere near 150 pages. In keeping with tradition though, it was poorly managed and I believe shut down after blowing through millions of dollars with no usable result.

Thanks for this :)

It's both. The original was with an Aussi flag, from her old working days.
That's a recolour of the flag to get rid of the stars and Union Jack, and with a stencil slapped on top with a random blend mode and a mesh warp that doesn't actually match the folds of the flag.

This is one of the more normal photoshops. Anyone know the OG source?

Makes sense that the actual pic with Mrs Roberts is legit and AdzAdama photoshopped the SC logo. Although I always thought this was a legit component of CIG's marketing.
