It looks a lot more like a British public toilet to me, same tiles (dark bloody piss colour to mask the splashes/pools), same wall coating (double thick textured el cheapo emulsion/fine pebble dash).

It's actually identical to the pisser that the drivers use at work, I can guarentee that my work pisser smells a darn sight better even after 15 burly truck drivers have just unloaded the previous nights donner kebab than the place that guy is posing in though. :D

Yo! The Mafia supports you. But don't tell no one. Spread the word.
So let me the this straight. In "Fantasy Schedule 2017", CIG say this:

Persistent universe content -> Mission Givers

ON April 14th, state DUE May 12th
ON May 12th, state DUE June 2nd
ON June 2nd, state DUE June 9th
On June 9th, state DUE June 30th


Or , to put it another way, assuming you are a lazy weekdays-only employee who doesn't understand game development,

The job is 20 working days from completion.
When the due date comes up, it's 15 working days from completion.
When that due date comes up, it's 5 working days from completion.
When that due date comes up, it's 15 working days from completion.


If any part of my own work projects ran like this, I'd be looking for another job. But then, I'm a lazy weekdays-only employee who doesn't understand project delivery.

I can understand the other guys we're trying to role play rabbit aliens and being bad at it.

But I never understood toilet man. I mean, why? Is there really a guy(s?) out there dying to sit on the space toilet? What do they think is going to happen? A push minigame or something?

If you look closely you'll see the spaceman doesn't have pants or underwear around his ankles, as one normally does when pooping. He's cosplaying as a guy who just wanders around the ship in socks and a t-shirt. Sounds like some sort of fetish to me. Especially if that's one of those big multicrew ships.

It was just yesterday that this patch was coming out in "June". Now it's coming out in "July".
If it gets to Gamescom and Chris says it is coming in two weeks, citizens will be forced to reconcile that Chris is never correct and the schedule being accurate. It will be a buttered cat paradox.

They've already reconciled that Chris is never right with the schedule. They've accepted that he's overly optimistic, and that it's just part of his charm. In doing so they've basically enabled him to do whatever he wants. It could not have possibly been a better outcome for Chris.

Those who get it get a refund and quit, leaving those who don't to continue to encourage Chris to do what he wants.

She gets her front half in the box and then just pees with her rear end hanging out lol. I told Kelly to get one of those cool spiral boxes or at least a way bigger litterbox, but she solved the problem by just taking the top off. So now there's no pee but I occasionally have to look at cat poo poo. Kinda reminds me of the Star Citizen pledge process a bit.

Yes, but if Chris says two weeks and the schedule says two weeks, then is Chris correct (he is never correct) or is the schedule wrong (it is always updated to be correct)?

The 2017 "schedule" is the same thing as the 2015 "game" that was released.

In late 2015, CIG had literally nothing to show except fake demos. Internally their attempts to make the game were catastrophic, but the rubber had hit the road and word was out that Chris Roberts was (still) a failure. So they released their internal experiment, "2.0", to the masses as "proof" that the game was in development. Of course this action hosed them even harder, because now instead of continuing to develop :lol: the game, they had to pretend the 2.0 release was the actual game and spent time and effort building on that, in order to keep up appearances.

The schedule we've been given is basically the exact same thing. It's completely made-up, from stem to stern, and every so often it's updated - things are pushed back, other things added/removed/renamed - just enough motion to make it look like they're keeping busy. Since the top, middle, and most of the bottom industry talent has left CIG, we're left with a group highly unlikely to release a sequel to Angry Birds, much less the BDSSE, schedule or not.

CIG is like a fake onion - no matter how many layers you peel, there's still nothing underneath.

That's one thing I've noticed consistently with these magical updates to the progress tracker. Plenty of art assets get completed, but if you look on that list, anything technical is continuously delayed over and over, or just set as TBD. Which, in itself is telling because if you look at the positions needed from their job board, it's nothing but tech design, engineers, and mid-tier management (You know, guys with actual experience and still able to fight in the trenches).

It makes you wonder if they are just trying to delay the inevitable until they get that unicorn developer(s) who can turn this all around for them.

Your right. Most delays are due to netcode which means that their only network programmer has broken his wrists in a segway accident or some bullshit like that. Which explains this:

#2: Don't need anymore marketing staff because we have Sandi and she is the best at marketing since she was 6 years old.
