Now that would be fun to watch. We just get smaller groups of Cedars in my area. They have an interesting way of just streaming from point to point as a group so I can usually recognize them by that movement. Overall a pretty good bird, way fancier than all those lame Robins

My pointless and ill informed speculation about Derek's ELE and possible timescales:

  • Banks are calling in loans that Chris foolishly ran up for some wild mocap spending splurge and no one else is extending credit. Tits up in a matter of months.
  • A whole gaggle leaver toxic dinks are running for a hills. Including everyone who knows how to hack StarEngine into something vaguely resembling functionality. Naturally it's completely undocumented and uncommented. They're hosed, but no more hosed than they've always been. They'll try to soldier on into 2017 to get Chris' gently caress you to Kevin Costner out the door. Eventually the money runs out and SQ42 is released as a series of YouTube shorts.
  • The scary federal government is taking an interest. They are mega hosed, but the wheels of justice turn exceedingly slowly. I know less about how American justice works than I do game development but I can't see them freezing assets or ordering CIG to cease trading before they've done a fine tooth investigation. We won't see a satisfying conclusion for many months to years.

I am on p2788.

When I get to the current last page (2798) that I am on now, for every loving Ryan Archer post that I see, I won't post for 1 day. e.g. if I see 10 posts after p2798, that's 10 days that I won't post.

And when I do come back, I will start reading from page count + number of days. Which means that every thing that came before, I will neither read, nor respond to.

So yeah, you loving idiots need to stop with this Ryan Archer poo poo and go create another thread for it.

That is all.

D_Smart posted:

In fairness to others, I have to re-think my position.

So new rules. For every loving Ryan Archer post, which means 1 day of my not posting AND skipping pages, I want to see at least 4 non-RA posts. So that's a good ratio and it means that I won't miss that many pages.

But seriously, unlike my reading every page religiously, if this RA bullshit continues, even with the above ratio, it just means a lot of skipped pages containing stuff directed at me; and which will never get replies.

Disco Lando interviewed BoredGamer recently. Assuming they chatted a bit before or after he might know about the depression, it must be obvious to CIG by now that the whales/streamers are much more likely to have issues than a random gamer. Not sure I could handle working at CIG in a community facing role knowing that.

So, I modeled the Stimpire Scout last night. Big warning, it's subdivided right now for looks and I'm going to add an edge to the fuselage to make it look a bit less sharp and have a distinct edge, but it has the crenelated "stealth" shape to it's hydrogen-scoop intake and it's vector thrust nozzles. However, the dart/spearhead look is the point :D



Since there was a discussion it didn't have enough studs, I changed the maneuver thruster globe to have it's thrusters look like studs.

I'm glad that Derek kept talking about how around 11 of the higher-ups at CIG would quit in 3 days, and 3 days later he was full of hot air as per usual. This thread is combination Star Citizen+Derek Smart schadenfreude. I'm glad of it™.
