Maybe my thread-click filter is finely honed, but GBS isn't that bad. It's been far loving worse over the years. GBS has always been an evolving sub-forum, and will always ever be.

i remember years ago, well before i got my account, i was warned to stay out of GBS and FYAD. I wander into them on accident every now and then and it usually ends up the same way. :stare:

Re:SQ42. No way can they get it out this year,

That won't stop them releasing SQ42 on the 31st December as a pre-alpha-beta-pre-alpha-test-demo-alpha v 1.2.1.

By that time, Star Citizen will be on release 543.31.312 and will be 15 petabytes of doors.

e: Please post more if you are able to. I love your insight into all of this.

Re:SQ42. No way can they get it out this year, if they went into permanent tag team crunch they couldn't do it. The arrogance of the top brass means they simply are not worried. If they just break every promise on everything they said they would do (which they pretty much are doing ) the horde would just give them more cash.
You are looking at early 2018 for a playable , almost there version of sq42 IF it was somehow streamlined. And between 2019 and never for all the other shite Chris has promised.
This is my opinion backed up by what I have seen behind closed doors and what I have been told by those that would definitely know.

honestly there is probably a lot of overlap between star citizens and trump supporters

i have no way to back that claim up but it seems like a match made in heaven

Socially marginalized group desperate for former glory + a "powerful" guy promises easily understood solutions to complex problems + plotting enemies to focus anger as a group and avoid doubt/personal responsibility + cash tithe

I think the anti-intellectual part of trump might be the intractable difference between the groups. SC whales are probably high IQ IT specialists and pretty comfortable in their own brilliance - which they then apply to literally every other domain and then we get brony Dolphin blogs about Hitler and Octopode's legal opinions. On the trump side I am convinced his popularity is due to American's white hot hatred of people who seem smarter than them.

Actually this could be pretty funny to merge the communities, is there any way we can plan a trump rally at the next citcon?

It's great that we get a +3 paranoia aura for absolutely free just for being goons. If this game was ever close to release we could gently caress everything up just with rumours that we started buying accounts but would only join up in an ORG of our own once we had established ourselves within other ORGs. Instant hit on everyone and we start with a bunch of stolen goods.

Does anyone have a link to that meltdown in the early days where the pubbie leader started a countdown to nuclear missile launch and everything?

I love how the idea of nothing getting done because Early Days has even spread to the programming of the web-site, to the point where implementing store credit for basic features takes weeks because they need to make an intricate development pipeline for it first. I've even seen people explain away the "token" system Lesnick mentioned last week as being a "test phase" so that they can more fully implement store credit in the future. They don't even wait for Huckaby to make this stuff up for them before using it as a defense.

There's a AtV episode where they interview the animators, and they say flat out they basically spend most of their time writing scripts to matchify different disparate mo-cap data, and schmear it all onto the moving target that is the skeletal rig. As of that update, they were on v9 of the rig.

So yes, there's plenty of truth to it. It's why the animations have been hosed for always.

I'll dig up the link.

I have never seen so many people so eager to get rear end hosed by a company in my entire life, let alone for thousands of dollars. You can't even feel sorry for them at this point, the vast majority of people have seen the writing on the wall. There is no accountability whatsoever. Holy gently caress, these are some of the dumbest, most mentally challenged people out there.

Chris can keep milking this well for at least another two years at this rate.

Today we have 10 for the Chairman, where Chris covers a number of topics including a minor update to the current philosophy and status of Star Marine. Wednesday brings us a Special Subscriber Edition of Reverse the Verse with special guest Sean Tracy. Be sure to have your technical questions ready, and pass them on to a subscriber if you aren't one already. Around the Verse on Thursday has both an interview with Mark Skelton and a roundtable with the Flight Team (Pete Mackay, John Pritchett, and Calix Reneau) discussing continuing updates to the flight model, while Friday brings us our regularly scheduled version of Reverse the Verse, hopefully with more energy and flu virus.

Also of note: The Saitek HOTAS Pre-Order that we thought might begin this week is not, in fact, beginning this week. We're as anxious as many of you to get our hands on these and we hope to have more info to share with you in the coming weeks.

Are these people unaware that people can lie to them? Maybe not everything they say on these 'open development' videos might actually be true. I can't even work out how they get into this mindset considering just how many times CIG has failed to meet up with their statements. Double-think layered on double-think.

Hey I'd take a consistent lack of ability in a manager over one with marginal ability in a creative domain. The former might be insecure enough to listen to the experts they hire and be desperate to deliver results. CR shows us how the wunderkind visionary genius handles experts (there to gratify his ego) and delivers results (the vision cannot fail, only be failed).

My uninformed take is Erin seems to be a more competent manager than CR. He just has to be. If their organizational roles were reversed I believe the project would have a better chance of success.
