So MMOs are a dead genre, then? Pretty depressing, since it's my favorite even with its many, many... many problems.

There are at least four Derek Smarts in the US, according to the ten-second Intelius search I could be bothered to do. Star Citizens are terrible at searching the Internet.

Hovering around zero issues and are having daily go/no-go meetings, but they can't release it because it is too unstable. They were so close, but now they are back up to five issues. What new excuses will they come up with next week?

"You have five or six people and it crashes every five or ten minutes... and if 3.0 crashes is relative or proportional to the amount of people playing there will be a lot more, you'll be having crashes every minute or two, because you are going to fill up these instances pretty quickly... They'll download it, then they'll be getting kicked out to the desktop" - Chris Roberts

If you were to lock all the staff currently working on star citizen in any way, shape or form into a contained location, how long would it take for them to complete the game? (All features included)


In this scenario they still sleep, are fed, and have other life support. They can spend as much time goofing off or socializing as they want, so they aren't forced to work on the game, but they cannot contact friends or family, or spend any of their hard-earned money until they complete the game and leave.


All of the staff have been injected with anti-aging serum. Additionally, sleeping gas and tasers, straight jackets and more are used to prevent them from committing suicide or killing each other.

In the last 6 years, RSI has infected four offices, which it has united into one nonstop agile waterfall, CIG. RSI has origins from the Kickstarter Sham in which a bunch of hopefuls and has-beens rode the nostalgia train to riches. All studios except for RSI swore reasonable development time upon their citizens. There are no exit doors in an RSI studio, and all communication with the outside world has been cut off and drinking coffee 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 the developers and artists. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a espresso machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with donuts and garage door openers. After the painful, 2 week surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps anti-aging serum 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 RSI is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their space jet nipples will be subjected parping around in space without a space suit. Offenders would also be forced to show their parps on youtube to soothing tunes and dulcet tones, and furthermore.

Otherwise, backers would be dazed with the worst type of development in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness all over the Reddit. The development time would also triple every second, but no 3.0 would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all whale unit forces must buy more ships to block this effect.

However, entertainment is also questionable in RSI offices. Sporting events end with the losing team being forced to stick weapons through their heads, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands stretching out like rubber, flight races would end with the losers having to play the actual module, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves waiting for RSI to gently caress up, which also causes madness if the content isn't fed to the locusts. 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.

Weekly reports are broadcast, and actors are actually murdering their lines 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 meetings and waved hands at haphazardly. Any film that does not feature some kind of a fuckup will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - subsumption.

All go, no-go meetings are also broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will not miss much. All citizens must boo at the presenters and try to spot flaws in the green screen, 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 stop watching, but they will also feel pretty bored.

Forums by this RSI will be razed, and all the posts archived in the same way as their release dates are. The records are then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from reddit minds. Promises are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Ship Artists undergo years of relentless and endless refactoring, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the wear another jacket. All employees are placed into cubicles and closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some employees are also subjected sleeping gas and tasers, straight jackets to prevent them from committing suicide or killing each other. Employees sentenced to Wing Commander archiving are locked up 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.

All employees can spend as much time goofing off or socializing as they want, but they must all share one grotesque looking cement counter for food preparation. They are stuck in RSI until they complete the game and can leave. RSI orders at least 1 million MoCap sessions every day, as they are afraid the artists and developers may overthrow them. But only one studio is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching walls, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Commandos are in every office, and they ensure that netcode is never improved.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything but loving RSI 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 office space of this sickening company.

No

'Listen' and 'reveal' are both verbs for completely different actions therefore the adverb 'exclusive' works in conjunction with them to give you the meaning. The adverb tells you how the verb is happening.

'Exclusively listen' implies you listen exclusively to, at the exclusion of other things you could listen to

'Exclusively reveal' implies you have something exclusive to reveal, and with reveal being a verb that can mean to uncover or publish or show that implies that what is being revealed is therefore known only to you at the exclusion of others

This isn't my opinion, this is how it works, I'm not defending it I'm doing my best to explain it.

Adverbs and verbs, how the gently caress do they work
