Oh, I think I've bought access to this thing many many years ago. Can I install something and/or play it?

It's basically unplayable. You can certainly install something though and your trip report will be welcomed.

Reinventing basic industry stuff nobody else bothers to make any fuss about, plus burning through a ton of money to deliver underwhelming and poorly finished goods that are designed to look nice from the outside despite production being rotten?

CIG isn't Chevrolet in this analogy. They're Tesla.

Cataclysm has this weird system where the main thing that matters is caloric intake. How much your character has 'actually' eaten is independent of your stomach size, so if you keep cramming stuff in your gob to get to the 'full' state almost every other roguelike has primed you to think of as the target, you'll never know your character has gotten obese until you check your stats and skills screen and look in a weird corner of it.

Also by default there's a nutrition system that will ding you for not eating a balanced diet. The game is full of "fidelity" that makes the game actively more of a pain.

Have you heard of zero hour contracts?

In 2018 I was working on a contract job that initially guaranteed 20 hours for the eight or so months I was to be involved. I think I only spent a few days on the original scope of the contract before basically blowing expectations out of the water and doing Actual Data Migration stuff instead of manually copying stuff out.

My reward halfway through after a brief stretch of full-time work was being taken into a meeting room with the company lawyer and asked to sign a zero-hour amendment to my contract, plus giving assurances I've not retained any company data. And once the contract was over, being sent a marketing email for their investment product where the minimum buy-in was more than what I earned throughout the entire contract, which was my only job that year. :cripes:

I honestly would not have picked up that it was Star Citizen without prompting :cripes:

The angular faceplates kinda remind me of the box art for EVE Valkyrie (which, while it wasn't a great game, at least had some aesthetic direction), and the exposed side barrel on the space P90 plus the orange furniture make me think of like Destiny and Warframe's space pewpew.

The shoulderpads kinda remind me of the Halo armour having lights on it, but then there's that box on the helmet's side which maybe are meant to be lights?? Just bolting a gopro to it would have looked better.

I have no idea why there's a couple bike seats on the sternum.

Also, I'd say pull up thread in this case but seeing as mods are here...

If it's in the context of talking about trans or gender nonconforming people etc, yeah. It's not hard to not punch down like that, thread, and if we can recognise that it's unhealthy to name the reddit posters getting quoted, then we can have a little empathy for other people too.

The computer in the first prison video said 2h:55m remaining on your sentence. Near the end of a ten minute video. :cripes:

If CIG had the faintest hint of self awareness or irony then the AI blathering on about how great it is that your sentence has been slightly reduced for your labour would be 1) part of a dystopia comedy thing because of how on the nose it is, and 2) a lie

I begged a friend to not try and play the new version of Star Citizen after his employment ended today, but he went ahead and did it anyway. After getting through the weird character generator, it hung for about 20 minutes on the loading screen and CTD'd without ever actually entering the PU.
