Don't forget about the night club scene. They're putting the finishing touches on that too. I just imagine a dark room with an awkward disco ball, a FUTURISTIC jukebox playing the same lovely song on loop and a barman that just scrubs the same glass over and over again while furries cyber-bang in the corner.

Don't forget the 16(MAX) identical male characters standing motionlessly around the room.

I guess the showroom is the stupid thing EvilAce said was coming, since it has no purpose or even practical use, and was clearly never intended based off stretch goals and necessary to throw into the game. at this point or any

seems the next thing they're working on is to add the showroom to that terrible cart racer social module. They prioritized a place to sell more ships. Shocker

REALTALK: A ship showroom is not a big deal in and of itself since everything is first person and naturally you'd go to a place like that to buy a ship, but there is a staggering amount of content to be done for Star Citizen that it's almost insulting to hear THAT's the priority. And I swear I'm experiencing Déjà vu right now.

I understand for some people its a great thing. It helped my mother kick cigarettes as well so i think they are awesome in that sense.

But, its those fuckwit douchebags who use them in INSIDE stores/public locations/businesses etc that drive me nuts. Sorry for the rant, dealt with a co-worker who thought it was A-OK to use his marijuana-smell vape stuff inside our retail store in front of customers and staff.

Back to Star Citizen: The Scammening!

It never ceases to surprise me that the followers have put so much trust in these devs no matter how much they get poo poo on. The very idea that they are working on the Showroom for sales before the game is even loving released perturbs me to no end. They are preying on the mentally challenged and its disgusting.

I know a little bit about game development and i fully understand that animators/etc get moved to different things when they are done with their primary job but working on a god drat sales room while most of the game still isnt complete is just... I cant even comprehend the level of shitbrained crap going on in those offices.

"One of our primary blockers are animations for X, Y, and Z! Hey, get the animation team to just stop working on that poo poo, have them mocap and make a sales floor. We can offset the costs of the animation blocker by selling more jpegs."

It's a prebuilt, functional, non-intrusive device that's about the size of a thumb drive. Not one of those bizarre dick-sticks I see people waving around.

Edit: I also make sure to use a flavor, like mint, that doesn't bother anyone. And I only use it in my office. Seems the dickhead behavior stems more from an "AHA LOOK AT ME I CAN DO THIS WHEREVER I WANT" instead of just a bit of loving common courtesy.

It might be the same process but it's not industry standard to wait 2 years before dealing with credit card fraud. There's gotta be a reason for that but like gently caress will Ben have any clue about it he's a forum moderator with a sticker on his shirt that reads "Developer"

I'd guess the reason is the only fraud is on the part of CIG. I'm not sure, but I'd guess the chargeback was done as a last resort by someone who had their legitimate refund request denied. CIG has no excuse for denying the refund in the first place, and trying to squeeze more money out of that whale comes of as extremely desperate. The worst part is he will probably pay up rather than lose some/all of his ships.

Has it occurred to these people that somebody will have to be programming the interfaces and connections for the in-game cash jpg shop? This isn't like, the artists are working on this because they don't have anything else to do. This is the only stated development priority. With this, they have obviously crossed into a territory that's scummy even by AAA publisher game standards.

And i can tell you the sales module will work perfectly on day one. Smooth shopping experience all the time and even just visiting will spawn a few random ship brochures in your (soon to be coded in, two weeks tops) inventory.

I can even bet they will put in a system to teleport a sales rep from CIG CS team in when a concierge level backer cross the door.

It's not Tutti Frutti. It's new radical x-treme flavors like "froot", "choko", and "churrios".

quote:

I’ve heard all the hype about Churrios, so I finally decided to try a bottle. MAN! It is so drat yummy I just bought another 2 bottles! Anyone who says otherwise clearly hasn’t tried it, or has no working taste buds left. To me it’s like biting into a hot fluffy churro at Disneyworld. You get that very specific taste of freshly fried dough with powdered sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top, finished off with a nice bit of creaminess. BAM… thats churrios. Love it, love it, love it!


I really don't mind smokers but the combination of smoking (which is indeed cool) and nerdo-gadgets is pretty funny.

quote:

Gangbanged my mouth so hard I cried. I like sweet dessert juices. This juice tastes best warm. Exhale through the mouth and you get a strawberry twinky flavor. Exhale through the nose and you get more of a strawberry grahamcracker type flavor. I believe if something deserves recognition, I should give it. 10 out of 10, I would get gangbanged in the mouth again by Mother’s Milk!
