When CIG had to do with non-restoration hardware

They've had some of those tables since early 2013, you can see them in the early LA studio videos. I'm sure they didn't have as many of them though.

To go back to this, it's a real thing that they have referred to Around the Verse as having season 1 and then talked about season 2.

Considering anyone interested in an actual game would have been happy with a bloke with a camcorder, the whole attention paid to sets and professional production standards given in LA to what, when you break it down is just nerds sperging over a game is something I find hilarious.

Is he seriously suggesting that they bought dozens of uber chic kitch designer furniture at a yard sale for pennies on the dollar or something?

And what the gently caress does he mean "remaindered"? Is he suggesting they saved money because they bought desks that were once part of a plane, so they're technically recycling or something? :psyduck:

I think he means either close out pricing or left over stuff from failed companies sold at liquidation prices.

I don't know why they think he can do it when as far as I can tell his list of accomplishments begins and ends at "made Wing Commander,"

This mystifies me as well. The development world has grown since then. Consider back when he made his last even semi-successful game, and how different the PC technology was. There are small indie developers who, today, have made more complex and engrossing games than anything Chris has ever made. The fact that he's been out of the industry as long as he has means a lot in a field that evolves and grows as quickly as this one. It's like giving a guy a job building a nuclear submarine because 20 years earlier he made one out of Legos, but nothing since. He's uniquely unqualified to do this. You could almost randomly pick another developer who actually has recently made and shipped a game and have the likelihood of success increase.

Holy poo poo!
[quote from the article]
I’ve thought about the psychology of financial domination, and what drives guys to just give away money.
Some feel like they earn money and don’t deserve it. They see themselves as inadequate and believe that somebody better than them should be taking it.
It turns them on to not be in control of their finances; I’ve had people ask me to blackmail them, but I don’t do it -- I’d rather not wind up going to jail and have no interest in digging up dirt or pulling off extortion scams.
Whatever the case, though, the more they give up, the hotter they get. They masturbate as they send me money. It’s like other guys looking for porn online.
A guy watches his money shipping out and his horniness escalates. He sends the 10th tribute of $100, realizes that he has never before given $1,000 in a single session, and it makes him crazy.
He gets into that submissive space where he just can’t control himself. It’s like any guy who gets super horny and is feeling instead of thinking.

I'm looking forward to the always-effective "petition" to bring back Star Citizen once this things finally collapses into rubble. No matter what the "MMO" (:lol:), and no matter how unpopular, there's always a small contingent of people who put boundless energy into bringing it back. The only thing funnier than Chris trying to make a game is his followers doing the same.

Actually thats the only chance Star Citizen has; if enough cultspergs get the assets and poo poo and full-on dwarf fortresses their dreams into buggy programmer-art life, for free, for years

You know that old adage about "act with what you know"? Those words, used by Sandi in that recorded talent tape, were used on someone within CS dead in front of the Santa Monica HR person. The CS person was not fired that day. The CS person left.

Chelsea did come from a hospitality background. Sandi could learn something from the hospitality industry.

Like work ethic, and teamwork, and responsibility, and service...

And humility.

I have yet to encounter one redeeming quality about this woman.

Sure looks nice!

Yeah that's really top notch work. It's also a perfect example of how much of a clusterfuck CIG's art direction is, particularly when you compare it to how the interiors of other space stations are. It's hard to understand exactly what the aesthetic in SC is supposed to be. So once again we see a ton of really awesome work thrown out the door because CIG is incompetently managed.
