Since when is being "halfway to starting a prototype" something to feel accomplished about? How was Chris able to sit there and tell people that they had a demo of SQ42 when the tools needed to make it are not even developed yet. Why is nobody asking this?

They refuse to believe hes a liar. Hes just 'overly optimistic.' I did see a post blaming Sandi for forcing Chris to say things. They'll can her (as shes directly responsible for the BDSM marketing) and that'll buy Chris a year.

MoMa has been consistently trying and failing. He brings up poo poo thinking it is a slam dunk and gets shut down by DS. Over and over. Just a few pages ago the same thing happened. And MoMA reacted the same way as always; slinking away and pretending they never brought it up.

I think in his mind getting the rise out of DS is the goal, but you can tell he is really serious and committed given how much dirt he attempts to dig up.


But hey, DS was wrong about early access. You win, MoMA! Star Citizen is real now! By the way, if you have at all any online presence it is pretty certain DS knows exactly who you are. The ease of people to do this is the sort of poo poo that makes me dislike doxxing so much. Please be careful. His mind is kind of loose, dude.

It's stuff like this that confuses me

On the one hand Derek's just a big dumb sperg with an insatiable appetite for big-mouthed dumb meltdowns, tailored to exasperate even folks like me who try to make him fit in a decent e-society

On the other hand, people who've actually met the analogue Derek don't even claim to have good stories about him



I mean other than his expertise in making bad space games, there's just not much, well, interesting about him really. It's amazing how much nerdrage he can inspire in spite of that

Clearly, I'm just terrified of speaking out against Derek. Once you start riding the tiger, you can't get off.

Yeah, at this point it is fraudulent and a scam beyond levels that it already was.

Either Roberts is culpable, or has no clue of where things are at and his direct reports are such good bullshitters that he takes them for their word and truly believes everything is AAA-ok. Whatever the reason, it just demonstrates the state of absurdity this dumpster fire of a project is in. Given his clueless ability to play his own game and futzing with the chat window like a clueless meth head operating heavy machinery...I'm going with the latter.

No wonder why the CFO bailed. Who the hell wants fiduciary responsibility signing off on their financials. He was probably doing the Pepto and Vodka tonic routine in his final days.

"We tried to figure out how fast we can do things. So we can project out how long; say we have 108 different areas we need to make in this game; how long is that going to take us? Is that going to take us into 2018?"

[4 years to get one essential feature] x [5 remaining features] = 20 more years :toot:
alternatively
[4 years] / [35 flyable ships] = [1.37 months per ship] x [42 remaining ships*] = 4.8 years to convert all jpegs to 3D :science:
