Pff. Look at that visual (and especially lighting) design and those smooth animations. No fidelity at all. Just a bunch of detail and set dressing and lots of characters moving around. These people obviously do not know anything about game development. Also, what's with the unobtrusive and subtle UI? What hacks.

Yeah. You'd think that in a simulated universe that has a 1:1,000 1:1,000,000 1:500 1:whateverchrissaidlasttime ratio of player to NPCs, they would have shown up more by now. I suppose they count as gameplay and are therefore sensibly developed last…

Oh man. The lengths I'd go to to have the opportunity to “accidentally” drop a section on Citizenism into the next printing of DSM. I'd probably even consider giving money to CIG.

On a different, but old note, I wonder how much it costs to license Serious Engine… I mean, Second Encounter seems to have better localised gravity, and SS2 better vehicle gameplay than what CIG has produced so far.

Today I learned we should all know that this dude named bandit (maybe it was banditloaf) is some cyberstalker dude known by some other name a while ago that stalked/harassed someone named Dodger and Totalbiscuit. He's also apparently one of Derek's Twitter buddies.

Therefore, in their minds, if you didn't know any of this you're complicit with cyberstalking.

I'm shocked and dismayed I did not know who this random person on the internet was and that they did those things to people I don't know of (Dodger) or really follow (Totalbiscuit). You should be too Goons.

I was just cruising through that reddit thread (because I hate myself) and someone said FIVE people have been doxxed in our thread. Who are these mysterious people? What happened to them? Do their angry ghosts haunt the thread even now? :iiam:

Nobody has contacted Chris and Sandi's kids. Aren't they like really young in any case?

My guess is this all stemmed from a time when someone linked a pre-kickstarter video that showed Sandi, Chris and the kids... or linked to her IMDB page that also had a pic the same. Then in Karl's insane mind, this has developed into "OMG THEY HARASSED AND STALKED THEIR KIDS".

Someone linked the IMDB page of Chris and Sandi's kid ( a public page that Sandi or Chris had to make and update with photos), on that page was a photo of Sandi holding the child. The child had Chris last name, and could be seen in the kickstarter video.

Somewhat a little off topic but your link made me feel like an idiot. I use IMDB a few times a week when I see an actor and think "I know that guy from some other movie, but can't place a name" type of thing.

Guess I was taken off guard that ATV is now in IMDB lore. Unbelievable. Moments like these I feel so naive.

Fortunately Croberts saw this in advanced and hired an economist to handle the economy simulation.

I'll be curious if it is Keynesian or Austrian based.

I'm actually amazed he hasn't planned for different currencies in the game.
