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


The suspense while waiting for it to come back, then the comedy when it was does arrive, is a sign of truly great writing. Chris Roberts has done it again.

Cat taxed again. Here's my two current cats, they're both rescues. The one on the left is The Stig, the one on the right is Mozart.

Woke up this AM and Kitsa was in visible pain, wouldn't move from his laying down position and wouldn't even eat his favorite treats. He was making a low growling sound every time he exhaled so we decided to take him in today.

Rest in peace Kitsa. My fuzzy bobble head friend. I'm a loving wreck right now.



Friend, you did a good thing. Kitsa took care of you and you took care of him. He just wanted to hold off on those treats for later, when you see him again on the Rainbow Road.

I guess that Infinite Warfare did hit CIG hard, they had to deploy MoMA to mock IW here.

Not CIG, no, but Chris certainly does. It's just that he couldn't care less about the workings of some old ship that has no bearing on his current mocapvaganza, so ensuring that the process follows any kind of sensible production standard is assigned a priority level of fuckoffandbothersomeoneelse–nowaitactuallydontbotheranyone.

It's just another side of the same coin: underlings aren't trusted with managing these processes, no matter how much it is their actual job and field of expertise.

Yeah, and goes back to the hilarious post of "if Chris didn't say it, then it isn't fact."

That's cool and all, except Chris hasn't posted something written for the past couple of years besides the tirade on the Escapist article.

Sorry about your cat. Mine died last year while I was at work; I opened the door and didn't see him there or hear him meowing from wherever he had been chilling and knew I had to go find him.

I got another cat a month later, but I still miss my old buddy.

MR. DOG WITH BEES IN HIS MOUTH AND WHEN HE BARKS HE SHOOTS BEES AT YOU
by Roger Hargreaves


quote:

Star Citizen right now delivers more than many AAA games do. For example, it has as much replayability as any CoD game provided you like space battles as much as infantry battles.

quote:

As for me being bias. No. Not at all. To be clear,I haven't played Star Citizen for months. I didnt boot it up for 2.0 and I don't plan on playing 2.4 either because I know how my experience can be diluted by playing throughout the entire development. I'd rather wait for the finished product and be blown away at that point.

Totally not biased guys but this game I haven't played definitely has more replayability then most AAA games
