They have an intern running around the office collecting tentative roadmaps from all teams. Then they can fail to deliver on most dates in 5 months, and switch everybody to CitizenCon mode to prepare all the BS marketing videos. Finally, it’s vacations until the end of the year

the most annoying thing about SC posted:is that it looks too drat good. i can’t play any other game without comparing it to SC’s fidelity :disappointed: quote:
quote:I actually learned about the No True Scotsman fallacy on Spectrum. quote:You don't have to get defensive because SC is not the best looking game out there. We know its a good looking game, but we also don't need to pretend other games cant match its fidelity and immersion. Im having more fun playing with 4 friends in Sons of the forest in a significantly small game with far less scope that looks a lot better than SC and plays better. It perfectly ok to be ok with that.

Fil5000 posted:Wait why are there two threads Well, it's a bit of a long story, but the jist of it is that in the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Jonny Shiloh posted:Quiet week in Star Citizen huh? https://h115.substack.com/p/star-citizen-cig-leaves-most-of-america quote:It’s no secret that 2023 was dire for the Star Citizen crowdfunding project, with a significant portion of the year plagued with poor sales compared to previous. However, towards the end of the year, CIG reportedly managed to stabilize its finances, as indicated by data from public trackers. According to Chris Roberts in internal communications, this had indeed been a ‘record breaking year’ for the company - however they still ended the year in a deficit. "It’s no secret that 2023 was dire" "While not denying the existence of layoffs" Yeah, things are fine. Definitely a quiet week

The Daymar Rally took place this past weekend, this a yearly event hosted by ATMO ESPORTS where players converge for a long janky race around Daymar. https://twitch.tv/videos/2038343434 It went about as well as you'd expect, took 4.5 hours to get all the players organized and start the race and I guess at one point some people showed up with ships and blew up a big chunk of racers. Server disconnects dropped a lot of players and it sounds like only a few of the 800+ contestants actually finished.

Virtual Captain posted:Haters will say it's the same Tyler "We're not selling land" Witkin That's actually true, though. CIG never sold land in Star Citizen, they sold land claim beacons that they said you would need in order to own land. Moreover, that was years ago and even today the game itself still has no land claim beacons in it, no ability to let players own land, nothing they could do with any land they might own, and no indication that any of that will ever change. What CIG was selling was not land, it was an empty promise, which turns out to be the one thing that their backers can never resist throwing money away on.

Was Star Citizen's decision to use Cryengine one of the worst in game development history? Like, good luck hiring developers and having to train them on your dead engine. Though I'm sure if they had used Unreal or Unity it wouldn't have saved them of course because of bad management, but still.
