Once again, can we stick to making fun of the game and its community, instead of petty and borderline weird stuff like going through her photos and asking why she wore the same shirt twice?

Borderline?

It would be weird and petty, Sir Lowtax, save for the fact that the person in question has earned a reputation for falsifying her workaholism through social media.

Finding proof to corrobate the claims of that Escapist expose is an ongoing project of the thread. While I'm not sure the photos above suggest too much, the recently unearthed Sandi Gardiner acting reel certainly was. It, too, would've been petty and weird, except that it featured the VP of Marketing using company resources (including personnel) to pad out her acting reel, a claim she forcefully denied.

Anyway-- that's my $0.02

Yes, but the tone is important. There is a small line between "Rational investigation and research" and "inquiry about a person hygiene". As an actress and public persona i think we are free to mock and question her choices but lets not go into stalking territory.

Let D_Smart PI do that for us.

I think there's an old rumour about photos being manipulated and posted to facebook to give the impression someone is in one place working hard on the game while they are really in another country, or working on a private job somewhere.

Also they filmed a bunch of different interviews in the Austin office months ago and they been making their way onto Around the Verse ever since, now they don't say "filmed this week in our busy Austin office", but that's the obvious impression that's going to form.

This is all just a different way of counting the money they've spent on furniture I think, it's not likely to prove anything, it's just interesting to see the amount of thought that might go into image presentation rather than the game (assuming they are intentionally trying to mislead).

Edit, actually Gorf said this better.

Avatar creation is a done deal in elite. It's been promised for this season (and will probably be in the game around march or so, going by past release timelines) what they mean there is "You'll be able to have hair but we haven't figured out how we want to do it yet"

That's even worse! Saying that it's not done yet when they're already experimenting with implementation. It's as if these guys don't understand game development at all: it's done when you first promise it! What's this whole figuring things out nonsense?!

"New York style" is, in reality, just a wide variety of styles at variable prices.

"Seattle style pizza" is the worst. Seriously how can a major city know so little about pizza?

loving oath.

The worst part about Seattle pizza is the people's insistence that it's both "New York style" and "good". It is neither. It's weird, puffy dough with bad sauce and sun-dried tomato basil pesto tofu on top. It is abomination.

When my friends try to take me to yet another pizza place, claiming that it's New York style, the other east coast native and I just sadly go along. It's easier than trying to explain why they're so wrong. What else are we supposed to do when a table full of people are eating sunchoke and sprout pizza with goat cheese and smoked salmon? Yes... of course it's good. Thank you for bringing us here. Yes, it's just like New York. Oh, I'm just... you know. Not that hungry.

Seattle pizza is horrible. I love New York pizza and Chicago pizza and Italian pizza and Detroit pizza. Seattle pizza is bad food.

Elite is both very well optimized and also has very low poly counts that should be inherent to any spacegame. Running a HD 6850 at 1920x1200 with all settings at ultra never go under 60fps. You should probably buy it the next time it goes on sale.

I played the Elite demo when it was out for free on my five year old laptop. The fact that it actually worked, when my laptop has trouble sometimes running dark souls and rocket league is incredible.

Needless to say, my desktop I built a few years ago can't run star citizen whatsoever.
