So I went to this nerdfest thing today with the boy and MY WIFE - It was good, because my son is still only 6 and was in his full Dart Vader outfit he gets all the 'awwww' factor stuff off the people there - all the dudes dressed as storm troopers and stuff that were walking around kept bowing and saluting him, all the ones dressed as Han Solo etc ran for cover, it was the most  day just for that, nerds have gone way up in my estimations, it was so fun.  There was also some good nerd models there, like this  And this  And it all kicked off in the  Anyway that was my day thanks for reading

I barely needed to change the Lyrics to this... [Foreclosure of BDSSE] Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of Spaceships and BDSSE for all Kickstarter breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end, ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Foreclosure of a dream Those Spaceships never seen Until all is lost, financial Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren promises that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a deed Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartland dies, loss of all pride To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide Foreclosure of a dream Those Spaceships never seen Until all is lost, financial Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream [Solo] "Read my latest blog. I'm going to burn their JPES 'No, let me loving finish, let me loving finish, let me loving finish' " Now with no hope, some still are proud This is a hoax, unfaithful pushed out Receive no reprieve and be left in tears Should have backed that game of frontier's New concepts will surely get by No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?" You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky [Solo] Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of Spaceships and BDSSE for all Kickstarter breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Foreclosure of a dream Those Spaceships never seen Until all is lost, financial Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream

tooterfish posted:Describing yourself as a creative genius gets you to at least an 8 or 9 on the insufferable oval office scale all by itself. I was thinking much the same. But I'm not sure what kind of resume they've ever written or "about me" blurb that wasn't run through a marketing group first. I'm looking forward to what a real fan site will look like, and how much legitimate traffic it gets with out somebody like Jake DiMare in the background fluffing things a bit. He may very well have made them feel like creative geniuses because he was ripping them off and making bank while they went on their ignorant little way.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:So the new Caterpillar looks interesting: So for all you guys and girls who bought this, even if you later refunded it... Is this what you were envisioning? Like outside of the cost of the ship and it was just free with the game that might come out. Is this the vision you saw and what you hoped it would be? I personally think it looks a bit silly, but I think this was supposed to be the "space train" everybody was sperging over back in the day? If so I think it looks very train-y.

Derek should post more updates where he corrects his mistakes. It is incompatible with the worldview they have constructed in that sub. Now if he apologises for incorrect information... it might trigger an ELE-like event.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:It's almost exactly like what I was envisioning I'm really not sure either. Partly why I was asking. I have no idea. I guess this is the modular one where you just keep adding modules in the middle and it gets longer and longer? I hope it still performs like a cig ship and just rotates comically at center mass. It could be like 2010 where they try to re-enter the Discovery but the outer parts are spinning too fast and there's too much gravity there for them to hang on. Except it's Chris-fidelity and the outer parts have normal gravity and everybody inside is not pancaked to the walls. Even 30-40 year old movies had better science to them than Chris Roberts has, and he's trying to claim the reality card somehow.

TheLightPurges posted:Yea I think they'll make it to 2018 in some form. But they have to release something for SQ42 next year and that will be the end of them when they can't hide behind "alpha" anymore. The dream balloon has to pop at some point. Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Nothing will shut down until the money stops rolling in, and backers have shown to be almost inconceivably resistent to failure on CIG's part Actually I don't think that is the case. I mean it's the common joke that backers are dumb enough to keep this trash fire going but something to consider is the cost of Squadron 42. It's a shift in consideration for what they are doing since it would be an actual release. If the leaks are true and SQlude has taken focus with other things being dependent on it that means they don't have enough money to develop Squadron 42 from the backers, and they were never actually developing Star Citizen to begin with. So if the project is dependent on SQlude and it does terribly that means they can't afford to finish Squadron 42 (since it will be more of the same terribly animated, terribly written, terribly received horse poo poo) and the only way they will ever make Star Citizen is if Squadron 42 generates them enough money to actually start developing it. I've included a finely crafted jpeg to highlight my point  Basically instead of backers being able to see both products released over enough time, it's independent of backer funds and a series of things have to happen which are dependent instead on Chris Robert's script writing and animation. Sqlude will make the money to finish SQ42 which will make the money to actually develop Star Citizen. If one of those steps fails the entire thing fails, and the SQlude will be the first actual step they have taken in 5 years.

I mean it's the common joke that backers are dumb enough to keep this trash fire going but something to consider is the cost of Squadron 42. It's a shift in consideration for what they are doing since it would be an actual release. I think another important factor is that Chris Roberts doesn't really care about Star Citizen. He cares about the movie(game). He's already outlined plans for multiple sequels to Sq42 after its mad success. I'm pretty sure Star Citizen is going to be slowly hobbling along like it is now, milked for everything with next to no development while the movies are made. It's possible that if Sq42 somehow makes enough money to keep going, there will be a Sq42 Part V before there is anything close to the dream of Star Citizen. This is not necessarily a bad idea from a business standpoint. A single player game with no server overhead that is comprised of animated cutscenes and different gameplay levels between them is hugely more possible and viable than an MMO at even 1/10 of what Star Citizen is promising. The backers aren't going to like it and eventually there will be more public outcries that people didn't back this game for a crappy single player experience, but so far the blinders are on and in full effect.

In honor of Chris Roberts and his upcoming epic series, Squadron 42. It's imperative that you prepare yourself for the story you're going to get. The multitude of characters and their many, varied personalities and exciting dialog. To properly prepare for this moment, here is a screen from the Wing Commander 3 I think of some of the characters. Please try to figure out which one is the bad guy. It will not be easy because they do not exactly make themselves obvious. Their dialog and bodily emotions convey acting and characterizations that haven't been before experienced in a mere video game medium.  Prepare yourself.
