Okay, does anyone remember there was a dude who made a bunch of Twitter posts about how CI¿¿¿G??? had an obligation to make an "adult," "mature" game that was really just code for "my weird fetish" and had a gif of a woman tied to a chair getting hit by a bucket of water in all of his posts? Assuming this is something that actually happened or if I ate a bunch of expired meat and hallucinated in my fevered delirium, whatever happened to that guy? Is he still posting his weird nonsense? Did he get bored and move on to trying to get his rocks off to a different space game?

DID THIS ACTUALLY EVEN HAPPEN AT ALL??

Oh yeah, for sure, see a show. It sounds cliche but they are good as hell. Most of the Cirques are great, and of course there's Penn & Teller.

I seriously couldn't have given a single poo poo about Cirque du Soliel when I went to Las Vegas back in 2016 for EVO, but my wife humored my stupid hobby, so I figured it was only fair she pick the activities for the day-and-two-halves we were there and they weren't any tournaments I was interested in, and she wanted to go to a Cirque du Soliel show.

drat, dude. I thought I was going to suffer through it, but I think I ended up enjoying it even more than her. I'm not sure what the name of the show was. The one with the swimming pool in the middle. It was one of those things that I never would've done if it weren't for my wife, and that's one of the things that I love about her.

The tickets were pretty drat expensive, if I remember right, but you deffo get your money's worth.

When I went to Vegas in 2012 with some other friends, we ended up going to Penn and Teller. They were very good, of course. My only complaint is that, at least for the show I went, I had seen most of the tricks they did on TV, YouTube, etc. already. If you're not super into their shows or don't watch a lot of magic trick stuff on YouTube, I think you're actually more likely to feel like you got your money's worth than if you're a big fan who has seen most of the stuff they've done outside of their stage show.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and echo the sentiment that these shows are both worth your time and money and are way, way more fun and better entertainment than gambling.

I think we're going to see more and more backlash against SQ42 as backers who either never really cared about it or stopped caring about it to focus on the PU start expressing this kind of opinion:


:reddit: Squadron 42 was always part of the deal, but over the last couple of months, it's been pissing me off more an more that they redirect ever more resources from SC to SQ42, to the point where it feels that only a skeleton crew is left to work on SC.

I mean, SQ42, okay, I'll play it. Maybe it's even going to be good, I dunno. But even if it is the best single player game of all times (and I very much doubt that since gameplay seems to have a pretty low priority) , I won't be playing it for longer than a couple of weeks, or months at best. Because single player. Star Citizen, on the other hand, I'll be playing for years, and probably on an almost daily basis.

So yeah, I'd very much prefer if the manpower and resources went into SC instead of SQ42, but I understand they want SQ42 out of the door.

However, I feel like I'm getting reeeeally close to the point where I'll go "gently caress Squadron 42!".



Bolded emphasis mine - it'd be hilarious, but I think the opposite is true. SQ42 clearly has a skeleton crew on it at this point, unless CIG is mismanaging the project even more than we think. But they've used SQ42 as an excuse for PU delays in the past so they can't walk that back now, and it's taken root in backers' minds, creating anger at SQ42.

Again, this is why I think CIG will eventually move to cancel or fold SQ42 into the PU. Very few people who are current contributors actually care about SQ42, and those that are probably have paid for it already. They've focused so much on creating and selling things to that group that they have no hope of appealing to anyone outside it - if SQ42 released tomorrow, and was good, it would STILL fight an uphill battle of "Oh, that game that's insanely late and sold thousand-dollar ships? Who even cares about that anymore" with the general public.

If anything, I think the opposite would be a better option. The words "Star Citizen" are poison in the minds of anyone but the most fanatical devotees to the Cult of Roberts. I think it would be better to roll Star Citizen into Squadron 42--a game that has barely any press at all surrounding it--to try and re-brand if they ever actually release a game (they won't, so ignore everything I said).

“Well you see Cyber Witcher IV has really been in development for 15 years, because one of the CDPR devs once mentioned in passing in 2005 that it would be cool to make an 80’s Cyberpunk styled game. So SC being a broken pre-alpha after 8 years is normal and good. Buy an Idris.”

This is correct except the comparison to SC. Because, you see, SC has actally only been in development since 2018. Late 2018. Really late 2018. Almost mid-2019, honestly, when you factor in the holidays and weekends and commute time and lunch breaks. Can you believe everything everything they've done completely from scratch in just 6 short months??

The procedurally generated planet is changed. I feel it in the water in space. I feel it as I clip through the earth. I smell it in the argon. Much that once worked is lost, for none now work at CIG who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Code StarEngine. Three DLLs were given to the Original Devs, immortal, wisest and closest to normal of all beings. Seven DLLs to the poo poo lords, great dataminers and craftsmen of the spaceship hallways. And nine, nine DLLs were gifted to the race of recent college grads, who, above all else, desire recognition. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another DLL was made. In the land of Santa Monica, in the bowels of a rented mansion, the Dark Lord Chris Roberts forged in secret a master DLL, to control all others. And into this DLL he poured his fidelity, his vision and his will to render shoelaces and eyelids. One DLL to break them all.
