I think cig should take a page from your book

Instead of selling the best and biggest new ships all the time , why can't they sell a reasonable and economical space ship

Introducing the aegis Taris

OR now with lti , the 1995 Londa Fivic (tachometer extra)

It would really resonate with the backers , since that's all they can afford in real life after dumping all their money into CIG

The picture does look weird, now that you mention it.

However, I think they modified it to make Chris and Erin look younger, but that's it. I would pity the pudgy intern that had to dress as Chris for a fake picture.

If I was a big shot of a company with zero accountability and unlimited money and time, I would fly around my multiple offices all the time. I love traveling as often as possible, so I totally see value in that meeting.

Looking closer again: the pictures behind Chris are hung cock-eyed, and the scale of him and Erin against everyone else just looks off. There's nothing to indicate this was taken with a fisheye or other distorting lens. To me it does look like a bad photoshop.

e: perspective was the other word I was looking for. Especially with the pictures on the wall.

To be quite honest, even if Chris took all $141 mil, he would not have enough to own a private jet with the cost of a full time staff and maintenance and it would swallow him alive. I am surprised he hasn't tried to buy into one of those shared ownership jets though, just because I want to see how the backers would try and justify it.

http://www.pjsgroup.com/aviation-news/charter-vs-fractional-jet-ownership/

Agreed , owning a private jet costs way more than the initial outlay of 10s of millions, monthly costs can be between 20-100k easily , just to have the plane sitting in a hanger. And that's using an FBO'S existing support services

But I bet dollars to donuts Chris has chartered a private jet at least 3 times in the past year (which depending on where he was flying and for how long he stayed could easily be 20-30k a flight

Follow the photographic evidence sandi keeps tweeting , her pictures hold the clues to it all and she doesn't even realize it

(Hint always remember not to leave things lying around in plain sight)

Weird.

:krust:

Senior generally just means 5+ years of experience for most IT/FinTech/GameDev jobs. It's pretty normal for companies to have more senior than junior/vanilla/associate openings. Take a look at Blizzard (https://careers.blizzard.com/en-us/openings) or Atlassian (https://www.atlassian.com/company/careers/all-jobs).

What I do find weird is the '3D Vehicle Artist' position. That's an oddly specific way to put it. And the second-from-top responsibility bullet point is hilarious:

Responsibilities

  • Working from concept models and images turn them in fully functioning and flyable works of art – the work is both exteriors and mainly interiors.
  • Collaborate with designers, technical artists, and partner studios to understand and implement correct file naming, and directory structure requirements within the engine’s and game’s limitations.
  • As part of a team, maintain the high standards of modelling, texturing, PBR material creation and manufacturer design cues to provide consistent and high quality models.
  • Work with technical artists and animators to deliver ‘animation’ ready solutions, landing gear, cockpits, cargo doors, ejection seats.
