Is this just a bad photo or is Mrs Lesnick not far off her hubby's size?(are they married idk?)

I feel genuinely bad for the pair of them but wtf is going on there that a. is seemingly encouraging their weight to balloon and b. stopping the others around them from saying 'Ben, I'm really worried about your health. How about we start going for a 20 minute walk every lunch hour?'.

I know there are a lot of fat people around but these two should absolutely be able to get back from the 'could die at any moment' place they're at now with the support of their employer, co-workers and, dare I say it, fans.


Unfortunately she too has been getting heavier since starting at CIG. Alexis was a heavy girl before, but she has been putting on a lot of weight since moving out to California. I am not sure if Ben is the bad influence or CIG. Either way, it's not healthy and I worry about them as people. They're posterchildren for heart disease and diabetes.

Honestly Derek the graphics are really bad, to the point where they detract from any possible gameplay appeal. The most glaring problem is the color palette; it's basically an endless selection of blue shades. The models themselves look dated and simplistic, as if this game was a decade out of place. Nothing about that video is compelling me to want to know more.

That's fine. I guess you won't be playing it then.

ps: We've seen how a spectacular looking game has turned out so far. Some of us do with what we have, knowing that we're never - ever - going to please everyone.

ok serious non shitpost here.

I've been wondering for a long while if this whole fiasco is going to really negatively impact the gaming industry. Look, CIG has managed to raise 105+ million dollars and barely produce a tech demo or anything really substantial. How many gaming executives are out there watching this and wondering to themselves, "hmm if we can create enough of a hype around a concept people fat nerd idiots will give us money and make all sorts of excuses for us."

CIG possibly has the worst development results in the history of gaming. That's pretty hard to do when you have Duke Nukem forever out there. They've produced almost nothing and there are STILL people fat nerd idiots giving them money. What are the long term consequences to gaming from this monumental clusterfuck? It can't possibly be good for those of us that enjoy real games for this to continue.

Probably none. Star Citizen is a fringe fluke that was based on perfect timing (dearth of AAA space combat games) and good salesmanship. There is no publisher on this planet - big or small - that would have $108M+ at their disposal and not have a "game" by now.

since derek has stopped his reveals as to avoid warning cig, keeps implying that there won't be s42 until 2017, what could he possibly be waiting for? 2017? what are we doing here brothers, sisters and non binary? we're dangerously close to cultivating all the lulz. lulz are a non renewable resource.

No need to start being a dick to the people in this thread Derek. I'm pretty sure Beer was actually providing constructive criticism. Would it kill you to hire a couple talented modellers/artists?

No one is saying you have to go full turbonerd sperglord-level SC "fidelity". There's a happy middle-ground between that and what your game has now.

Also, people do nice things for other people. Like record lines for someone else's project (even if you don't care about it) because you said you would for a goon in this thread who has done his fair share in the fight against CIG.

Indeed. I just want to make games, man. If I had the money to do everything I wanted to do, that would be a different story. Which is why, over the years, I stick to making sure that features in my game are solid, that the gameplay is solid and that those who buy and play my games, know that sacrifices have to be made. That's why people who buy my games, buy my games. I tend to be quite clear in my goals and there is nothing democratic about my process. My design. My game. My decisions.

Taking this Starguard carrier for example. There is no game. On the planet. That has ever done that. And it's just one more location in a massive game. Even Star Citizen with all their tech (lol!), money and stellar engineers, can't get a single location running at any decent frame rate. Let alone a multi-deck carrier in which over 256 players can exist in, at any one time.

Anyway, we have to keep working on the tone mapping. It was pretty dark before. Some people complained. We revised it. Now I think it's a bit too bright; though it is a ship and needs to be well lit at all times.

ps: Give me $50M and I will have the best graphics - and gameplay - ever.

pps: That Starguard cost about $25K to build. And that's considered cheap. Just an FYI.

Beer, don't take this the wrong way - but are you heading back into the SC fold? You've been pretty quiet in here recently, and when you do post you're not as scathing as you used to be. Also, that guy that did the promo machinima that was trying to get CIG to NOTICE ME SENPAI said you'd helped out.

I don't see how expressing my thought on his comment, amounts to being a dick. I'm not responsible for people's feelings.

Listen, I've done it twice. I didn't like the results. Why? Because I sound like a clown off his meds. For starters, I don't like singing. I'm more of a speaker.

Since it's going to be online, for eternity; even as parody, I'm not in the least bit interested in wasting time on something that's only going to cause me grief. I remember was happened the last time I was just goofing off at my beach apt, and which ended up being a YT fiasco.

Plus, I still fail to see the importance of my involvement in it. Maybe I missed something. I was only planning on doing it because Bootcha asked. It's not the sort of thing I like doing. It's just not my thing. So, if I don't like doing something, what makes you think I'm going to keep wasting time on it?

Anyway, I have been very busy with the recently launched .07 LOD update; in between the usual trolling and SA forum pass.

I will do it. I just need to perk up the courage to bypass the common sense programming in my head that keeps whispering "This is a goddamn waste of time. gently caress those guys. Go troll Star Citizen instead"

Seriously Derek? I'm assuming you're calling this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lItnJWPOScE a fiasco?
