I made a touch sensitive nightlight for my little daughter today with an arduino uno and some LEDs. As I typed out my sketch the whole VOID { some loving function } line dawned on me. I don't know how I was so dense before, but it just made sense all of a sudden that of course we use VOID, we don't need a return from this function....anyway, I'm applying at CIG.

Edit: gonna make it big time

You're probably overqualified. Maybe you can control the video editing suite instead?

So how much money is Sandi wearing? The outfit, the watch, the jewelry? That's like 6,000 bucks probably.




I like that I get to hear Sandi whispering in my ear while Ben gesticulates.

I didn't read the thread today and just finished watching the livestream and I'm blown away. I'm sure everything I want to say has already been said but I've been following this poo poo-show since the Kickstarter and I sincerely think that today has been one of the worst things that has ever happened to CIG.

This is nothing more than the classic case of them both rising above their station in life. Without the luck of KS and crowdsourcing, this project would never have gotten off the ground. There is a very real reason he has created the anti-publisher view that you see the faithful repeating across internet. It is because none of the banks and major publishers wanted to do business with him. After he got chased out of Hollywood and had to resort to hocking used cars making $90k and living in L.A. is not a real luxurious lifestyle. Chris would never have risen to the level of CEO anywhere. He had no business even trying. He should have hired one and elevated his station to "Visioneering". The CEO would have been the buffer between the work and the idiot and gotten poo poo delivered. Sandi has no business anywhere near being the forward face of the company. She has a visibly negative countenance that I find irritable.

This is pretty much the first time a CIG release has just extended and amplified the backers anger. Pure disappointment and rioting in response to a release is new ground.

I think the discontent has been growing each time, and the time for backers to get there has been shorter and shorter. This is the release where the discontent wasn't reversed into smug optimism and a funding spike, and instead is just now unchecked for ??? time.

They finally ran out of poo poo to convincingly lie about and just can not deliver. This is going to be interesting in terms of funding if CIG was already going to be downsizing and was in trouble.

Sandi is low key, for her. Dress looks like a Yisgal Azrouel from a couple of years ago, maybe $800. If the necklace is Roberto Coin, it's around $1200, but if it's something else in a similar style, maybe $500. Rings are likely not too crazy, maybe $300 per. The watch I couldn't guess. Not a watch person.

So with the $1200 bag, again from a few years ago, she's certainly wearing a few months' rent for most people, but the backers will never know.

I am starting to wonder if she buys stuff used. She is certainly short and slender enough to have her pick at fancy consignment stores (always easier to take things in or hem them shorter, not easy to let them out or take the hems down).

Today was an amazing day. I was home to watch the Holiday Live Stream. Jarred and Tyler's 2.6 gameplay video was amazing. Laugh out Loud funny. CIG gave us an amazing live event. The flaws in the audio were amazing. They poured gasoline on the troll fire burning beneath the bridge. The flaws in the presentation sieved out the rubble leaving only rocks beholden. It left behind believers. The Citizens that know what this project really means. The Citizens with families. The still human beings. Thank you Sandy. Thank you Chris. Thanks you all...for all of this.

gently caress this piece of poo poo cult. Toying with my feelings for wing commander.

I had a huge respect for Wing Commander and how it tried to convey story. I really liked Freelancer. But right now? It's a hundred times worse than DLCs.

gently caress you Chris Roberts. Your foolish ambitious vision resulted in ruining everything involving crowdfunding.

Will it capture the elusive title of most disappointing game of all time? For me, it would have to be worse than SimCity 5. But if anyone can beat EA, it is the crobbler.
