XK: Jul 9, 2001; Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Due to some bizarre bug a guy spawned a Starfarer in AC and flew it around. So you get to see first hand the fov from the cockpit.

It kind of looked ok, if a little awkward, sitting in the hangar. Seeing it actually fly, it looks stupid as gently caress, embarrassingly so. Also, that FOV is completely outrageous.

I did a quick test with my onboard chip thats a realtek 887, which is basically the 892 thats in a lot of goon recommended boards and the cheapo SIIG I got 6 years ago. At 50% the siig sounds louder and has better bass than the realtek at 100% on my M50s. The difference is even more pronounced on my AD700s where it sounds completely anemic on the onboard vs the card.

Impedance mismatch most likely.
Or a lovely preamp.
Or both.

But don't pay attention to it, it's all in your mind.

I dug about and found a few things out about the original flight suit. The main thing is it was 100% custom made for the movie, and unique to it. So I can't wait for the "it's a coincidence!" defense.

Shes just stupidly thin and has been for a long time it seems. Woman needs to gain some weight.

It will help with getting work with your 'acting' btw. Not looking like a skeleton.

I mean, she is kind of... well, scary looking. However, Sandi's appearance is probably the least legitimate thing to attack her on. But I still can't stop myself;

She really looks like she must be chewing adderall or vyvanse. That keeps a lot of people skinny like they want, but isn't exactly good for you. She has so little fat in her face compared to a healthy person that you can see all her "work". Or what I hope is work, because otherwise it's worse. I bet you could sell her a 'fat teenth of that blue sky' from Breaking Bad. Not that that's necessarily true, she just LOOKS like a stimulant junkie.

My other theory is that she married this guy to share, or bilk him out of, his project money. He's a doughy nerd with a bunch of money who's all mooney over an aspiring actress, what's the logical course? See if you can cash that check. This may not have been the bargain she anticipated.

It's either that or he told her it was a con (which I don't really think is a 100% conclusion) and she thought he was a goddamned GENIUS and found that plus the money sexy as hell.

You'd think that someone who was one of the best business women in the world wouldn't be involved with a dinky little 100M hobby project, but would instead work somewhere where you'd have to add an extra zero at the end to actually make the project worth the company's time and where she would pull down 20M annually in salary and basic benefits, not counting bonuses�

She should really be able to fund her hubby's hobby out of her own pocket change, so what's with all this backer nonsense?

This is how analysts work. You make predictions/analysis based on information at hand, and forecast trends.

At the time, with the cash they were rumored to have, I put that at three months.

At the time, even though I predicted - and posted about it - I had no idea that they would be dumb enough to release 2.0 in the condition that they did in order to max sales over the Q4 (their best time of the year btw) period.

Then they did.

And from the money they raised, last I checked, it bought them like maybe two months of funding. Tops.

Which is why I continue to maintain that they ARE low on funds, rely on the on-going funding in order to keep funding this dream; and that they are already in crisis mode.

I am sticking to my story because I know with 100% certainty, that I'm right.

quote:
D_Smart posted:
Pay attention.

The money they raised during that period, bought them extra time (hence my two months of funding tops).

That was my point.

So are you now saying it's two months from this exact moment (tops) or that it's Oktober + 90 days + 2 months.

I mean just for the record.

Wait does this mean you will never be a runway model : (

I know math is hard. So once again, pay attention.

In Oct, based on the information I had, I said that I gave them 90 days of funding left

By the end of Q4/15, after the stunt they pulled, they made enough money, which in my estimation, bought them extra (maybe two months, tops) time

This is some audiophile nonsense. On-board sound in 2016 is more than enough for the average listener. If anything I have had problems with sound cards because they are prone to electrical interference from sharing the PCIe bus with the GPU. This is coming from someone who has an external DAC and headphone amp. What does 'tinny' and 'thin' even mean?

Yes, it is audiophile nonsense. I already told him basically the same thing.

Yeah I mean I'm stupid as a bag of bricks but (maybe) two months (tops) following the end of Q4/15 means they ran out of money last month.

On the basis that I'm basically a bag of poo poo with brains to match maybe you could just name the month that they ran/will run out of money probably. I can totes figure out what month you mean if you just say, like, February 2016 or May 2016. I can do that.

Tippis: Mar 21, 2008; It's yet another day in the wasteland.

The whole question of �n months of money left� is nonsensical anyway.

What matters is buffer/reserves. How big is it? Does the current month eat into or add onto that buffer? What is the status quo threshold? A two-month buffer can last a decade if the nibbles are small enough. It may also only last a week if some new massive expense is discovered.

So:
� Buffer size.
� Burn rate/status quo threshold.
� Expected monthly whale-fleecing over the next year or so.

All else is just pointless noise. And even that is simplified since it doesn't take available credits into reserve.

Boggles my mind they tossed out two patches (e/f) and then did a full push to live. I figured they'd do it, but was somewhat amazed the Austin staff probably hammered out a 20hr day to get it done all for the love of money.
