Beet Wagon posted:

Posting from the past to point out that Prometheus was set 28 years prior to alien and that even within alien canon most of the stuff doesn't look anywhere near as slick as the Prometheus. It really is incongruous and there was a theory that perhaps it's due to some kind of massive wide-scale technological setback, but the timing doesn't really support that because it would mean within 28 years we lost things like flatscreen monitors but still managed to bounce back enough to be doing spacefaring stuff that we hadn't previously achieved.

The look of Prometheus is rad and cool, but definitely doesn't jive with the universe it was set in.

That line only works if you assume the prometheus was built before the nostromo. I always read it as the Nostromo being an unsafe, ancient piece of poo poo that's being held together with duct tape and hope, and should have been decommissioned decades ago, even before Prometheus was a movie.

slow news day apparently

MoMA somehow, in some world, thinks that pointing out that a scripted in game cutscene is a bad thing for Elite Dangerous. Which is an actual game, with gameplay, that anyone can play. With build up, ARGs, puzzles and community involvement leading up to this scripted reveal cutscene after years of development to show off a new aspect of the game. But nope, gonna keep smugly doubling down on the technical classification of what to call the specific type of game event this was. Making this the stupidest hill to die on in the history of written language.

Then samizdata goes full retard and starts harassing ben in a crusade literally nobody but samizdata gives a poo poo about.

With timeframes required for interstellar travel and possible relativistic effects, 28 years might not mean much. I have no idea if Aliens universe has some form of FTL travel and how that would affect things.

You know, if the mouthpiece of a company is a scammer, then it might lead people to examine said company for scamming. Of course, we are talking about the Citizenry.

nobody actually gives a poo poo what ben does, he hasn't even done anything with star citizen in forever, calling him a "spokesman and a mouthpiece" is just you trying to backpedal and justify something you thought we would all be highfiving you over.

I look forward to the day NASA builds a new star ship to colonize Mars or the moon or something , and all the astronauts are brought to the space ship under torchlight like it's some kind of Wiccan festival from 2000 years ago.

More engineering debt for new previously unannounced ships that they don't need, yay :toot:

Also, the motherboard lights in my tower pulse in exactly the same way as that ships lights do, only my pc has good quality leds so it actually lights stuff up.

Nope, the Prometheus was built by Weyland Corp before the merger with the Yutani Corporation. Nostromo was built afterwards. Besides that, Gateway Station (from Aliens) is cramped and lovely and built out of garbage, and that didn't even begin construction until after Ripley left Earth for the last time.

EDIT: You know, if you don't want people criticizing you, then don't get on a public forum soliciting money for a project, then go back on that public forum AFTER getting the money, talking about neat new stuff you own and ways you waste time while NOT showing any activity on the project you got the money for.

Anyone doing that's no better than Karl trying to get people to contact Derek's family and should knock it the gently caress off or at least stop trying to seek approval for it here.

Like if you want to be the Derek Smart stalking subreddit maintained by damaged people and frequented by damaged manchildren go right ahead but don't come here expecting anyone to slap you on the back and congratulate you for sinking to the level of the very people we laugh at daily.

A mobile refinery and a military space carrier are not going to look like a top of the line luxury research vessel just like the interior of a Tesla is not going to look like the interior of a UPS truck. Yet both those things co-exist side by side in our world and it doesn't break our minds trying to comprehend how we could have electric cars with high tech computers and have gasoline powered mail trucks on the same roads at the same time.
