Hey let's talk about Star Citizen!

I skimmed both of these looking for new shots or footage from Alpha 2.0. Credit where it is due- the ship UI update video is pretty cool and a lot closer to what I thought they should work like. Can't help but note that it doesn't appear to be actually integrated into a functioning version of the engine though.

Everything else is the usual "We're very busy on this thing, no release dates" and all the shots/videos are from the Con. It's really very hard to tell if any progress has actually been made at all or if we're still half a year from seeing a PU demo.

I was never much a Wing Commander guy so I hadn't really paid any attention to Star Citizen despite many goons praising it but when I saw this video I knew something beautiful was pupating.

I'm listening to this on my monitor's lovely built in speakers and Chris Roberts sounds just like Lumpy Space Princess.

Okay so I haven't been paying attention to this GG stuff aside from occasionally cruising by the slap-fight on /r/KIA but I kind of assumed the Vox Day stuff was the usual exaggerated bashing of a person who disagrees about video games. I decided to read some of these for myself rather than just take your word for it- wow. Those are his actual opinions.

Derek you probably should not go on his show.

Same here, I haven't followed GG at all but I'd sooner go to the David Duke Radio Show than be associated with this guy in any way. This guy is scum and you should know it Derek. This was some serious self-ownage.

What is King Derek doing with this vox day character? I must have skipped a few pages, because I missed Derek's post and just started seeing people scold him. Given his ethnic heritage :smuggo:, I'm sure he wouldn't knowingly associate with a notorious racist.

The whole GamerGate idea is just another flies on poo poo analogy. You've got insufferably depraved idiots from two extremes fighting over a charred banana. I know DS has been on board with this business before so I can understand if he has some kind of tie-in to the GG thought camp but it is also worth noting, DS if you're reading this, that you're giving your adversaries ammunition by supporting this guy. He's literally doing a cause I know you're keen on a disservice and you are better telling him to gently caress off. Could have at least found a GGer that isn't morally bankrupt.

its been two weeks since ive produced some good poop. I hope the poop director doesn't give me a new poop project. I just need another two days to get this really moving. Who am I kidding, he probably is going to arbitrarily reject my poo poo for no good reason. I wish I could poop as much as Ben. He's been promoted five times.

I mean if it was me I wouldn't give anyone who mentioned GG the loving time of day.

Dsmizzle tho wants to try and be that guy who rights the wrong that doesn't need righting.

He's fighting for our abilities to maybe be able to explain GG to our kids one day when they eventually find ED. You know this is gonna be awkward.

That does seem to be the common thread with everyone involved in it, from the SJWs to the GGers themselves. And both are loving disgusting in how they go about it.

So if he wants to bring the discourse down to that level of poo poo-slinging, then yeah - this would deffo be the quickest way to go about it!

While we're giving credit where it's due, the ship fly-by audio sounds incredible. :jeb: The video though sounds like "this is my demo reel for when I go to work at a real video game company."

Seriously though, the audio team has always seemed to have their poo poo together, possibly because it's such an inscrutable field that even Chris Roberts can't micro-manage it to death. I hope those guys and girls get hired by someone competent as soon as possible.

The new UI stuff is pretty decent. It's a shame the cockpit designs are nearly all loving stupid. "Hey we want this game to have top of the line graphics. BTW we'll be obscuring half your screen (or more) with bullshit so you'll barely be able to see these awesome graphics."

I hate it when corporations monetize me for 59.99 and then a further 29.99 on top and let me apply a 30% discount.

I would much rather make my own financial decisions, thank you. For instance, this $2,500 ship is a STEAL at $2,000 and it's mine for life!

These statements don't need picking apart; they unravel by themselves. Much like their authors.
