I'm sure Roberts puts on his pants one leg at time as the rest of us. Mocapped, clipped through, etc.

Posting itt to remind everyone that Chris Roberts' vision of a game where different zones have different physics applied to them, something never done in gaming before, may have actually first seen the light of day in a little-known sleeper series called Dead Space by indie publisher EA, where there are zones in the game that can have zero gravity or vacuum or both, where it's possible to nipple ankle jet around at will and stick to walls/ceilings in any orientation, and you can fire physics objects from inside of one of these areas to the outside and vice versa.

Not completely. Its the egg in the cake mix.

Earlier cake mix recipes in the 60's had everything needed in powder form, just add water, mix, bake and voila, delicious cake. Guess what ? They did not sell, like, at all, untill some psychomarketer genius told the industry to let the buyer add a single egg to the mix. Just adding water made the cake some kind of "not good for you, machine made slurry" in the buyer mind. But by having to crack an egg it turn into a quick cooking a home desert.

Picking your mission from a drop down menu availabe anywhere make you feel like a cog in a machine. Having to walk a little, see the sight, spot the npc and press <use> turn it into an adventure. You just have to find the right spot between making the player walk all over the map for no good reasons and giving all the quests from a single billboard right beside the savepoint.

What an interesting discussion that whole thread produced! Forgive my rambling, I found the whole thread incredibly interesting.

Discussions were considerably more coherent than discussions about the chart on /dereksmart, who conspicuously chose to archive the ugly inverted chart, not the lovely original. (That's hardly good faith documenting, DS friends, I really did endeavor to make it a lovely to look at...)

MMORPG forum discussions about Star Citizen fit the future-facing, past-revising positivity bias originally modeled at RSI forums. Permnanent embeds like Max Bacon and Erillion have 10,000+ posts between them yet I've never seen one demanding accountability from CIG, for 'tis Heresy. The "9 Voices of Star Citizen Debate" discussion produced lots of engagement and views yet is the only MMORPG forum post closed from the first page of threads. Why? ("Goons!" )

Self-appointed, totally non-biased forum mayor Erillion rushed straight to ad hominem. Only a few weeks ago, when the Alpha 3.0 Infographic hit his jurisdiction, he countered with sawed-off shotgun blasts stereotyping the source and defending Chris Roberts against the implications of the work:



I can hardly vouch for my own trustworthiness, of course, but the irony isn't lost that Erillion is one of the most energetic, full-throated defenders of Chris Roberts, a person who has indisputably lied brazenly and repeatedly over a 5 year span. he has done it before live audiences numbering in the five digits and raised $156 million doing it, yet Erillion is not only untroubled by all of that, he's eager to stereotype criticism from SA because not a single participant here can be trusted. We are all uniformly evil, hellbent on chaos, lacking constructive motives, etcetera while Chris Roberts is cool and good and furthermore...

So, in light of his take on the Alpha 3.0 chart, it's really rich that only a few weeks later, when the 9 Voices chart hit MMORPG and the OP asked people to identify where they fit on the chart, Erillion immediately identified himself as a "Believer."

This is a guy who has written 7,600+ posts in that forum alone, hundreds of which include broadside attacks on critics ("goons!" ), yet he considers himself only mildly-positively biased, not engaged in Evangelism and certainly not attacking perceived threats on moralistic grounds.

Are you sure we're the ones engaged in a propaganda war, Erillion?

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about Star Marine - January 2016 - a tour de force thread starring Erillion as paladin defender of Chris Roberts, Derek Smart as the firebomb thrower, justagamemode, Sunny's Diner, Lando Santa and the special edition Porsche PLUS a very special guest appearance by Lethality as the "Jason Hutchins is not gone. I welcome proof that he is." guy.

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about the Star Citizen tracker - April 2017 - Max Bacon and Erillion sing another stirring rendition of "Goons! " (Max Bacon wanting to host the tracker to make sure it's honest is though.)

So I've been a long time lurker but had to grit my teeth and pay up just to explain....well gloat on all you clowns,

Like how does it taste? The biggest event of the year where you guys were sourly clenching your fingers in anticipation of mocking something better than yourselves.

But Chris delivered. Showing Dereek Farts and you idiots what is possible in gaming.

You guys are pretty much silent, trying anything in your power to smear this accomplishment and its ugly. You have nothing solid to point at and say this is bad. Its all supposition and honestly, lies.

See you in the loving Verse friends.

I lol every time I see that "Wulf Knight" has a sub-101 command of Latin, and that an hour's perusal of Wheelock's Latin would show him the correct way to actually say "big bad wolf". But that wouldn't be quite as funny. Him and Gremlich must have the same instructor.

I like that idea as a distinct information layer. “Asset in game, Mechanic TBD.” Source pic is telling for what it leaves out — the layers that represent future work / technical debt.

Alright Goons, I'm on the hunt for a new time killer. Kind of want something single player / comp stompy like I do in CoH2, but I'd also be interested in a good scifi isometric rpg like the old Baldurs Gates.

Any recommendations?
