So that's what it feels like huh - the last day of a star citizen... lesnick must feel like this every single night when he goes to bed.


Also CrcleSqreSanchz - I would totally hire you as a screenplay writer, your prose is borderline poetic - you are a gifted man, keep those short stories coming.

I know it's an accusation that gets thrown around a lot but I'm starting to think EightAce is just Derek Smart :tinfoil:

There's absolutely no way that Derek could pull off a writing style so different from his own - also, have you really gotten the impression that Derek is ever anything but completely, bluntly sincere?

I mean the guy has many qualities and faults, but I couldn't imagine him trying to pull off anything like this

Glassdoor posted:

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor so if you want a challenge then this is a great place to grow. A truly triple-A project with a rich lore that has its own unique blend of emergent gameplay systems, high fidelity, deep immersion, galactic scale and scope, using cutting edge technology that's being worked on by a brilliantly talented melting pot of some of the industry's finest from around the world, and all within an indie development environment and backed by an incredibly loyal and passionate community that want to see this game continue to succeed and keep making something special in video game history!

Oh, I wonder what the Star Citizen thread has in store for me today?

My... god... it's beautiful.

So what's the story line to SQ42? Anyone read through the entire thing yet and able to give a summary?

Also how the gently caress does something like this even happen? How the hell is a text file containing the script ever going to get included in the game files? It doesn't even look like it's a subtitle package, it just looks like it's a random file containing the script! Is this intentional sabotage by someone on the inside?

My theory (pg 2824): The ELE is real, and some well meaning worker bee thinks this is the only way Chris-R's magnum opus sees the light of day.

On the director posting the "Your Fired" link, the speculation around the leavers centered on them leaving in spite of CIG's attempt to keep them and/or the leavers planning to make a message by their leaving. In that case, I could see this post as a passive aggressive warning that the leavers better keep quiet about star citizen.

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.

The next few pages should be good.

Most recently I have worked on the production of the upcoming computer game "Star Citizen: Squadron 42". The entire story and gameplay footage was shot with many A list actors including Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill and Mark Strong at the Imaginarium Studios in London using performance and motion capture, which was then edited in Avid Media Composer. As the Assistant Editor for this production my responsibilities included:
• Ingesting/syncing rushes
• Working with marked up scripts and shoot notes to prepare sequences for the editor
• Preparing and exporting over 100 hours of turnover for VFX, animation and audio
• Exporting over 1,000 uniquely named files for delivery
• Ensuring over 30TBs of media is securely backed up in various locations on multiple drives

This is a good read on the situation and the most likely explanation imo.

What reason would a person working a job possibly have to post this article, publicly, on their twitter? Must be butthurt AF.
