Beer4TheBeerGod posted:What good does getting mad do me? I've already invested enough emotional and mental energy into this farce, and at this point nothing CIG does surprises or particularly bothers me. If they gently caress me over and don't refund the money then yeah, I'll get mad and do everything in my power to make them return what I'm owed, but outside of that what does it matter? The bottom line is that I've finally accepted that CIG is hosed, Star Citizen is a scam, and that there's nothing that can be done to save it. Given how far down the rabbit hole I went that's a pretty significant thing for me. This. This anger that has been growing. That's the healing happening. Embrace that poo poo. Then let it go.

TheAgent posted:because gently caress why not Here's from my earlier prediction: 1: There will be a Sq42 cutscene, this will prove without a shadow of a doubt the game nobody wants is real and is nearly done 2: 2.6 will be released, but it won't have Star Marine, only the usual refactors you know and love 3: we will see more high detail actor models, possibly one of them animated and speaking. This may be part of the Sq42 cutscene 4: We won't see Gillian or Gary, not even as CGI 5: there will be no live play demo of Sq42 gameplay

They will pretend that something they show is in the real game but something will go wrong revealing it to be scripted/a video 4. Something will get cut off early and Ben will fill in as best he can. 5. They will forget about anything they promised earlier, ignore previous release dates and repackage their old promises as new ones all coming next year.

Also I kind of realized that they still have a lot of stuff in their bag to fleece whales for when the times start to get really hard. All they have to do is finally drop a 15 second CGI clip of the Vanduul and that'll get them through at least a fiscal quarter. They really have mastered the art of not releasing content. Honestly I see the funding going up to at least 180-200 million before release. Even if you manage to fool only 0.01% of nerds there are just so many people in the world.

Beet Wagon posted:loving lmbo at the future space marine drill instructor they're clearly gonna have in their Star Marine ad. If there's one thing that members of the various armed services enjoy, it's being confused for a member of another service branch. They certainly don't feel an identity that's unique to their branch and would totally welcome having patches that look like all the other patches, except the pointy bits are in different directions.

TheLightPurges posted:The only way I can see CIG getting a "win" here is if they release 2.6 to live (only moderately poo poo) and showing a fancy fixed sq42 demo. - Ship sale. - Promises of pushing Star Marine to the PTU soon. - Best drat (well not really) WipeOut Remake Because Real Gameplay Mechanics Are Hard (BDWRBRGMAH--just rolls off the tongue.) - Bonus: no Chris and Sandi because they are already in Hawaii.

Beet Wagon posted:I'd loving bet dollars to pesos the SPACE MARINE DRILL INSTRUCTOR either sounds like or is played by R. Lee Ermey because why the gently caress wouldn't he be. Stole my thunder son, was just thinking that. I want a Roberts screenplay* for the first half of that movie. Money playing Snowball Who knows who would be Joker Pvt. Pyle...take a guess with a jelly donut. *From what I read Kubrick just basically let Ermey go off and ran with it.

While watching the White Rabbit Project on Scam artists, the covered The Dale. I was reminded of a single passenger car on display at the mall some time ago; "Early pre-orders get it for $1000" seemed like an appealing deal for a whole car. Didn't go for it but today I went and figured out the name of that company: Elio Motorsquote:the vehicle, which was initially slated for 2014. The date has once been pushed back to 2015, and again moved to 2016. They are now saying that production will begin in 2017.

wait i want to change my five: 1 - 2.6 is released as a "treat" at the start of the show - it's also the launch of the new official cig patcher, which is really cool and inventive 2 - derek smart and chris have an arm-wrestling match to settle things once and for all. toast is asked to officiate. it's a draw but everyone laughingly agrees that no matter what, the future of space games is bright 3 - a full and comprehensive breakdown of expenditures is made, and they show us entertaining photos of the team working hard in overalls on the space door. sandi grins and says "working hard, or hardly working?" and winks at the camera 4 - lesnick is revealed to have been a performance art piece, demonstrating new animatronic technology developed for the project. each lesnick unit requires three men to properly operate 5 - in the post-credits scene, lando's dad pulls his son close and says "thank you, son, thank you for what you gave us"

gonna basically cheat here: 1) Stream starts late 2) No sound/image at some point and chat gets rowdy 3) Adverts for ships that don't exist yet and won't be out next patch 4) At some points the "banter" pauses and everyone seems extremely awkward. 5) Chris (if he's on it) tries to start managing expectations then immediately fucks that up by promising some new wonder.
