I finally got around to playing FTL-ish game Crying Suns, and one of the factions are non-ironically stimpire-ing themselves to death because they think it will wake up all the shut-down robots who used to do everything for everyone.  No word on if they're using the worst kind of electricity, though.

You know it's funny, Metro Last Light went through the trouble of doing a 'good enough' fake cloth algorithm too for use in a single scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06CxFI1tjTQ&t=82s So it's not *totally* unheard of, but lol SC.

So I finally got around to finishing Chorus, a space game made with about 1/hojilionth the budget of Star Citizen. It's pretty clear they used a lot of unity store bought assets but the core gameplay with its arcadey as hell flight model, complete with rad drift ability and an insanely low time to kill make it a transcendentally good space combat game. Interesting vibes too as you fight a powerful space cult. I can't help but guess that any meaningful level of combat in star citizen can't help but be a goddamn mess by contrast. Just absolute jank. But I suppose none of the cultists in SC are playing for the combat.

I'm sure others have already put this together, but there's about 0% chance those fundraising numbers aren't hilariously inflated. Their social media engagement is absolutely pathetic, and they almost certainly artificially fudged the numbers to get the headline. Gonna lol if they're doing stupid poo poo like counting uncollected 'future' pledge money. You just know some of these losers would put Star Citizen in their will if CIG asked though.

Scruffpuff posted:The very existence of Star Citizen as a project is a measurable contributor to my struggles with derealization. In a vacuum it is an anomaly, but grouped with all the other things going on in the world, my daily mantra for the past few years has been, "Is anybody else seeing this poo poo?" This forum, and the posters within, are a tether to sanity that I'm thankful for. I hear this in a big way. It's a pretty illustrative example. Not a big leap from 'Star Citizen is a grift!' to 'Wait a minute, loving everything is a grift!'

shrach posted:I doubt it is a share split, but instead sub classes of shares. Now it's been a while since I was in graduate business school, and I'm just assuming UK bankruptcy law is similar to the US', but I can't help but wonder if they're setting up some new preferred stock for certain people to shift their ownership to, such that they get paid out before any common Of course, I'd be pretty surprised if any shareholders got much of anything if CIG went bankrupt, it would have to go to the creditors first, but one can't help but wonder. Maybe their crowdfunding cashflow lets their operation run with relatively low amounts of debt.

Ok, so, admittedly this was like a decade ago, in what must have been the first incarnation of the thread, but does anybody remember some kind of corporate filing CIG did where the associated lawyer's email address was something like 'Bettercallsaul@aol.com'? I just finished the series (excellent, would recommend) and somehow recalled something like that. Somewhat fitting that the email that was just a breaking bad reference at the time has now run its entire course as a show. Saul probably could have made a better Star Citizen too, at least he would have delivered something on time

The Titanic posted:I think the best thing so far is the hope that cig is about to roll out an auto-mod system that will inevitably backfire and ban heavy backers and let everybody know even more that all cig really wants is your money, not your words or opinions or you even playing the game. I'd laugh if they implemented a $10 ban repeal option, but I suppose gatekeeping posting like that would make their pathetic community yet smaller.

4th Stimpire Queen posted:Their latest ISC has their Lead Environment Artist showing how his teams organize their work and predict how long tasks will take by using...Microsoft Excel? There are a variety of different software options for project management. Jira, Trello, Smartsheet, etc that all offer a variety of different workflows and tools. The desktop version of Excel is basically the dumbest possible project management. If they were using excel in a shared way through office online or whatever at least that would be easily accessible to multiple people in the cloud.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Sharepoint/Onedrive/Office365 is absolutely a business-class product that's meant for large teams like this. Oh for sure. I just wouldn't have any faith in them at all to use them in a sane enterprise way. Their entire company is a governance clusterfuck. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if stuff was just haphazardly backed up on random employees' personal OneDrives.

Nothing has or will be added, it's all just announcements of intentions of intermediate steps towards plans for adding things; actually doing things is honestly more than the engine can support at this point. In Star Citizen's case we can call this a (lack of) Xenos Paradox.

100% they ripped the idea of the modular interiors for the Galaxy from the No Man's Sky Freighter mechanics. Not to get all 'Simpsons did it' but... it's pretty striking. Not that they even remotely have the manpower or ability to pull it off, of course.

Ok I made the mistake of actually reading some of that, what the gently caress is he talking about? Is CIG claiming to have invented some kind of new form of normal map that has multiple color gradients? loving what? Even if that is real what the gently caress would that even buy them? Big lol at crowing over physically based rendering too as if that hasn't been a normal feature on game engines for years now, I remember when it was added to unity.

colonelwest posted:Piss Cat has to be the absolute last believer in the “millions of life-like NPCs” promise. CIG itself has been walking that back for years, and the dream pretty much died among citizens years ago when they put Hurston in the game and Loreville turned out to be a tiny area with a dozen NPCs t-posing and standing on chairs. The NPCs in Oblivion are light years beyond what CIG currently has in SC. Even CIG not stupid enough to promise "The Valley of the Heads" from the abandoned game studio in Disco Elysium

This dumb bastard has 8.5K posts of this poo poo. Like, how do you just keep posting through, continually being wrong about essentially everything you post, how do you not just slink away? Do the community just not tell him how utterly wrong about this poo poo he is? Does nobody left in there have even the slightest idea about any of this poo poo? The mind boggles. E: loving hell, I'm closing in on two decades on SA and I don't even have that many posts.
