So who is the upsettingly fat dude that can't do anything with his arms other than rest them on his stomach?

That's High Star Citizen Pope Lesnick, founder of the Church of Christ Roberts who's grace returnethed Lesnick's sight from diabetic blindness so he could read the next thrilling installment of the Wing Commander novel franchise.

Only part of that is a joke, you decide which.

Here are some procedurally generated space cats I commissioned Ryan Archer to draw (not bad cats, these are good cats)

Giant watercolour space cat


Space cat not looking at Earth, because that was where Star Citizen was made, and Star Citizen sucks. Cats cannot look at bad things.


Kawaii as gently caress space cat with kawaii space fish and kawaii space yarn


Another artsy watercolour space cat. This must be a series

Everything is steam-powered in the retro-future now. Maybe Chris should promise steampunk elements? It's a big thing among terrible nerds with bad taste.

Space cat enjoys some space pizza


Space cat and space mouse's jpg just despawned! :(


This is not a cat! This is an alien!


I do not think this space cat's helmet is up to standards!


Unicorn space cat, the rarest space cat. Also these are not actually part of a series. Multiple artists independently decided to paint watercolour space cats.


Space cats always enjoy playing with space yarn. It's not an offensive stereotype if it's true.

This explains a lot about why Star Citizen backers have such trouble understanding the severity of the technical difficulties the game faces. They simply lack the ability to think things through.

Everything is easily solved if all your ideas are stupid and won't work!

This is a great post, I remember back in 2014 wondering why CIG never featured the networking team considering how important it was going to be for the core features of the game. They'd do lots of features on the other teams, now we know why.

networking doesn't sell ships. jpgs and hundreds of jpgs shown at 30fps in a ship commercial sell ships. always be selling.

Also on the topic of the Star Citizen PR Firm idea.

Of course they would be in this thread, this is the only real source of criticism that they have. I've read almost every Star Citizen article, news piece and blog for the past few years and if the article isn't a glowing review written by a cultist, it's entire comments section is filled with the extremely faithful that would die for Star Citizen. Sometimes going so far as to give out free game packages or ships to anyone who complains.

And that's not even the worst part. Even unrelated articles. Articles about space or even things on the economy, if anyone makes a crack about Star Citizen anywhere someone shows up like some kind of autistic genie to spew out the major talking points. Oh what's that someone joked in a NASA funding article that Star Citizen would pay for a mission to the moon? Here's a cultist with a referral code and a pamphlet of talking points.

You see how they moderate their own forums. Most of their internet presence is being vehemently defended for free by people trying to justify their own poor decisions.

Someone who has time really needs to compile screenshots of all the major cultist talking points and compile them into collages.

I don't know how many times I've read the exact same points from so many different people in so many different places. One instance of each point like "Open Development" or "You don't understand Game Development" or "It's in Alpha." The best one would probably be the 100+ different times development has supposedly started. The worst one would be the sad one where people try to justify it as a hobby and you read 100 people talking about how other people play golf or buy cars or get coin collections.
