Why did I look at his Twitter. Jesus christ, I'm uncomfortable for them. Look at their faces, pure fear.

I made the mistake of looking at his twitter once, only once, convinced myself the guy probably isn't allowed within 500 metres of a school.

Just wanted to say that you usualy lose me around the 3rd paragrath but for the first time I read an entire blog post of yours (I lie, I skipped the preamble). The turd on top of this poo poo cake would be if, for some stupid reason, Squadron 42 also required a connection to the CIG servers and the whales lost even the single player Prelude when CIG folds.

quote:

At the end of the day, Star Citizen isn’t about a game anymore. It’s a rags to riches story of a group of people who struck Gold in the middle of a space sim drought.

*drops mic*


As someone suggested once this is over you should go into political reporting. I'd love to read a proper Cato the Elder rant on Putin or Wall Street or whatever. :sherman:

The best thing is that CIG already confirmed that none of that is coming at least until 2018 going by the optimistic CIG predictions for when 4.0 will be coming out. That's when jumpgates are going to be introduced so no flying to other systems before then.

All they have are separate maps and gameplay elements that they're desperately trying to stitch into an unholy quilt as it tears itself apart. At this point I also believe that at most the whales will get Squadron 42: The Preamble: The Movie, some lovely thing called Star Marine and that's it. They won't even be able to cobble together an MVP with anything much more relevant than what is already in 2.5.

I may be jaded, but I'd be pretty upset at a guy like that. I feel like there is an unsaid ritual where you sort of need to help a boy become a man if they're young.

Some older guys are good though, but midlife crisis can probably be expensive. A $60,000 corvette or $2,000 on a computer game? Both are fads, but one is going to hurt more than the other.

For the guys wrecking their lives, just stupid. Probably won't get laid anyhow.

I think a lot of women want McDreamy from Greys Anatomy but end up with guys from Scrubs. You just kind of go with it at some point.
PSA: When your midlife crisis comes along the three urges seem to be quit your job, leave your wife, and/or buy a sportscar. For those not in the know--buy the sportscar. The sportscar is by far the least expensive of the options.

As bad as that was, that loving gif background creeped me out more. I'm no woman, but pretty sure if I was wearing my shorts/underwear that far down it would be uncomfortable at best.

That background is a pre-established piece of SC community content that has been making the rounds for a year or two. My original introduction to it was in a post fantasizing about playing SC with their sister, that girl being represented as the sister. Spending long trips, with lots of downtime, lazily cruising across the galaxy, but look at this really hot girl next to me. Hey, let's go have a little fun on the side. Yeah, so what if you're my sister.

Sister's viewpoint: "Is Josh still obsessed with that stupid space game? God, I hope he doesn't try to talk to me about it again. Now, where the gently caress did that pair of panties go?"

How can they claim all Squadron 42 missions are complete when they: 1- don't have AI; 2- can't dock ships? How did they play the missions? Are the missions nothing more than walking around and triggering cutscenes?

The idea of selling ships is never the most ideal situation, in a perfect world we would make ships and give them to everybody and that would be the entire THING, but, we ABSOLUTELY NEED to bring in money to fund the game, so we do things like POLARIS pre-sale, or the PACKS were you get a DISCOUNT... we try to at least give you the tools so you can melt your ships and move things around and... get what you want... but ah... yeah

but chris said that if funding stopped they had enough money to finish the game

I think Citizens will happily watch a 3+ hour INN presentation of 3 poor nerds sitting in a coronation street house on a cheap sofa and a 80 minute talk show of rich developer nerds bullshitting while sitting on expensive sofas because either option is miles better than playing the game.

Ok i tried to read this. (Good layout by the way) But i've got a little lost at the second quote. So let me write a bit


TL;DR: I bought a $750 piece of crap and now I am feeling kind of guilty about it. Wouldn't it be great if it was just like *I* want it to be?


645 comments, with around fifty essays. All discussing the pros and cons about a ship that not only does not exist, but it won't be out when the game is finally release (best estimate they have: mid 2018) because it is not a priority.

These people do need a game to consume their lives.


:lol: if you read all that crap.

They are so close yet so far from figuring out that CIG doesn't give a poo poo about old ships because the whales already have one.

You don't understand game development.

They are talking about Squadron 42 1.0. It is not supposed to have AI, docked ships or textured maps. Textured maps will be in with 2.0, AI with 3.5, cover mechanics with 4.2.

Once they reach 13.7, they will think about pre-alpha.

The plan is to release version 37.8 Service Pack 4.
