how about a monocle cat statement tracker? it would be enjoyable to track his many "How do you know SQ42 won't release this year?" posts over the years. also  at  trying to defend how yet another vaporware feature will allow swastikas but that's cool and good and you ought to just grow up and be a thick skinned yacht captain like me.e: oh drat, taxxe: https://i.imgur.com/kd9mgId.mp4

History Comes Inside! posted:Wait so it just so happens that in the language of the space aliens who love to be merchants, the words for “Merchant” and “Man” developed to be basically “Machando” and “Mano”? It's just like how the Mitsubishi Pajero is called the Montero in Latin America (Pajero = Wanker) the Banu LolNoRefunds is known as the Merchantman among the humans.

insane ramblings from monocle cat posted:we know they have worked on Nyx Doing some theorycrafting of my own, but... Aren't many of their devs Germans, located in Frankfurt? Nix in German is an informal way of saying nichts, nothing. I can picture it as an inside-joke of devs doing whatever they feel like in this non-sensical venture, that would fly under the radar of the American management, "what have you been working on?", "I have been working very hard on Nyx" "ahahahah"

The most money I've spent on a game would be Warframe which I've been playing with friends since 2014. Grand total by now is probably around $500 which I feel is a solid investment. All the fun and years of enjoyment have been worth every penny! By now I've got so much plat I haven't actually spent money for some time but I will still throw twenty bucks at them on occasion because it's a drat fun game and I love the community! Plus, we're all holding the line against the Stimpire.

Banu, Xi'an, Vanduul. Granted, it is a guy who loves the stuff and being able to create fake languages must be quite a joy to him (not that he ain't getting paid real well). Here is the Xi'an dictionary https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/16202-Xian-Dictionary And here some resources you can use to learn Xi'an https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/88012/thread/xi-an-language-learning-resources

I finally got around to playing FTL-ish game Crying Suns, and one of the factions are non-ironically stimpire-ing themselves to death because they think it will wake up all the shut-down robots who used to do everything for everyone.  No word on if they're using the worst kind of electricity, though.

cmdrk posted:of course they love karaoke... they're lovable, generalized asian caricatures. They're all greedy merchants who love karaoke, with no exceptions. Just like how humans have no diversity in cultures, jobs, and interests at all while on our one feeble planet. Now imagine a multi-system civilization. Crobert's alien civilization generator is very simple. It's a 3-panel slot machine that rolls a random animal or plant from Earth in the first slot, a cultural group from Earth in the second slot, and a random nation (from Earth again) in the third. Then you take the most stereotypical traits for the last two. For Banu the spin just said: Tree, Arab, Japan. So obviously you get greedy merchants and karaoke. Also per the Star Citizen wiki, "Xi'an Empire is located along the border of UEE's eastern Systems". So you can guess some of their traits as they're literally in the far east side of space. Their cultural trait is meditation Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Mar 28, 2022 |

Mirificus posted:Chris Roberts will be aiming to have toys in the stores - and many other things - it will fund the future development of the franchise, but those injection molded toys take huge investments a single mold can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars - JR Fabrications only investment is in the plastic filament and man hours to 3D print the models. CR won't actually sell toys. He will just have cardboard pledge tickets in toy stores and if a kid pays $200 they may receive the actual toy some day. As long as they have enough hope and ignore the FUD.

I can't believe they just named an alien race Xi'an. It's like if Elder Scrolls named a race Paris or London.

Armitag3 posted:What does east even mean in space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_coordinate_system Basically the same thing as on Earth. Our galaxy is more or less a two dimensional plane, so it does make sense, even if "north" is pretty arbitrary.

I suspect as long as the money doesn't run dry they won't shut down any studios. They probably need that many studios to tap into the regional hiring pools for the huge amount of game developers they require to keep the beast lumbering on.
