Nothing says "I can make a cutting edge 3D MMO!" quite like making a 2D single player isometric shooter game in the 1995.

Followed up by nothing else.

It looks like the base on the ceiling is a magnet.

But is your ceiling magnetic? No? So how is the base up there?

Probably screwed in, or using some sort of adhesive. The pipe part probably disconnects.

But who knows! I don't know anything about magnetic ceiling iPhone holder development.

Can I remove the plates?
The double-sided tape is very strong. Yes, you can remove it, but it may leave some marks. If you use the screws it will be easier to do so.

Can I permanently affix it to the ceiling?
Absolutely. With only two screws.

Impossible to tell. i have no doubt they pay shills, but there doesn't appear to be any company policy on employees posting. Some self identify, but i doubt they all do. I mean why pay shills if you have delusional devs who will defend themselves.

Me neither, and I've tried to directly engage him a few times, hoping he'd respond and engage in genuine, non-ridiculous arguments to tell me why he feels the way he does.

He's targeting Derek and it looks like people he sees as Derek's cronies. The rest of us are invisible.

With years of development CIG has been able to create about 20 minutes worth of content but I'm sure once that pipeline has been refactored with the cloud and power of the machines everything will be fine.

The best part is that the 20 minutes involves stuff nobody asked for.

Grounded to your wank pod? Which stretch goal was that?

A ship respawn timer complete with mobile game-level "use coins to reduce time" mechanic? Is this the vaunted insurance system that sounded nothing like this?

Even now, something like trading isn't in. This could literally be a number that goes up and down and doesn't go lower than zero or exceed some maximum, isn't even near ready or on the horizon. What's promised for cargo management is absolutely loving insane though, much like everything else.

I'm also sure everybody remembers the "fight a giant Dune sandworm" goal, because working on that is top priority over getting the basics going.

It'll be fine though. This Christmas everybody will be playing Star Citizen (except us, because we're Forever Banned as disbelievers). :smuggo:

Nope. I am on my phone pretty much constantly. Like now. I don't think this scheme is going to roll in backer millions.

Maybe they need to remove the pole, and sell the dream of someday having a pole.

It is lumpy uneven metal.

It is a great reflection on how the company operates.

Why use an easily cleanable hygienic table when an overpriced lumpy thing that the workers (even in the picture you take) don't use because it sucks eating off a table when your plate wobbles all over the effing place.

Not to mention its a treat to clean and they have multiples of them. For a room that barely sees four bodies at a time. And only when its free cake or fan food delivery hour.

I was wondering this.

I know they like to be extravagant, but shouldn't you still make your food area hygienic at the cost of not looking like the wing of a WW2 era airplane?

That's got to be gross to clean. And a pain to eat off of, while also being useless to write on.

It's effectively the worlds worst table. So I guess it's logical that CIG must have all of them. :)
