cool new Polack jokes posted:What is this crap? Four weeks… four long weeks since Cal Mason rescued the kidnapped Xi’An diplomat and he was just getting cleared from Medical. He had that itch, that itch that came from being grounded too long. Pilots always got it. Almost like they didn’t trust their limbs to carry them, they needed to move through this universe with wings and thrusters, not arms and legs. Cal’s ribs still stung from that blast he took back on Vega but he didn’t care. He had to get out of there. Cal made his way back to his quarters, nursing his side. The last shift of patrols just landed. They passed him on their way for a debriefing. “Hey there, Mason. They finally let you out?” Cal turned. Penny looked tired but chipper as always. If there was something in this universe that could bring her mood down, Cal hadn’t seen it. “Not officially. How is it out there, kiddo?” “Danger at every turn. You know how it is.” She said with a wink. “Have you checked in with Grandpa yet?” “Heading there now.” Penny jogged to catch up with the rest of her wing. She loosened the band to unleash her flame-red hair and turned. “Oh Cal,” she said backing up, “stop calling me kiddo.”

Hopefully they’ll think twice about hitting this system anytime soon. “Alright, pilots. Back home.” The wing peeled away from pursuit and headed back to the Gemini, which had stabilized but still working its way free of the pull. Penny looked over the remnants of her wing. She ran down the list of the pilots who wouldn’t be reporting. Where was… “Cal, copy?” “Hey Penny. The Vanduuls still in the system?” “Barely. They’re eighty-sixing at a clip.” “Something’s not right, Penny. This wasn’t a raid.” “What are you talking about Cal?” “I need a favor.” “I never like sentences that start out that way.” “I need you to cover for me with Grandpa.” “You gotta be joking, Cal.” “I’ll check in when I have more. There’s something else going on here, Penny.” Silence for a few moments. “You know, Cal, one of these days I’m going to collect on all these favors.” On the bridge of the Gemini, Admiral Showalter watched Penny and the other pilots return, a lot fewer than he would have liked. Then he saw Cal’s ship bust free from Yar. He was headed after the Vanduul flagship. “Cal, you stupid son of a-“ . . . TO BE CONTINUED

I can't resist, one more: The hum of a ship’s quantum drive against my cheek woke me. Lying on my side, I pressed my palms against my eye sockets and rubbed until I could see again. Whatever had knocked me out left me groggy, like every thought had to be routed through a bucket of mud. When I sat up, the restraints rattled against the door panel. Wire loops had been fastened around my wrists. The other ends were screwed to the floor. I had enough play to reach my face, but nothing more. The pilot seat swiveled around, revealing the brute who’d stolen my MobiGlas. He wore a navy blue pressure suit, minus the gloves and helmet. He steepled his fingertips together, narrowing his gaze at me, and I felt like chicken in a coop being sized up for slaughter. “You don’t want to kill me,” I blurted out. His eyebrow raised. “I don’t? Educate me, little scrum.” I couldn’t help but shake my head in a double-take. That erudite voice coming from that brutish body was a contradiction. It also occurred to me that it was an error on my part to have spoken before I knew the score. Behind the brute was the black emptiness of space through the view screen, except for a little reddish dot, dead center on the screen. It looked like a planet by the thin nimbus around it. Probably a gas giant. “What’s your name?” I asked, stalling. He licked his lips. “Burnett.” He said the first part of his name like burr and the second part he rolled over his tongue. “Well, Burnett,” I replied, glancing around the cockpit, “I’m Sorri, but not sorry.” At my joke, his upper lip curled back, showing his teeth. “I know who you are.”

Sappo569 posted:Can Sandi play the part of a 20 something with fire red hair ? The only time I've ever seen actual footage of Sandi doing motion capture, she was faced with the demanding "acting" task of walking across a room. What followed could only be described as a bipedal alien doing his best impression of a "hyuu-monn" walk. It was so stilted and awkward that Peter Weller took notes in case he gets a chance to go back in time and refilm RoboCop. I can only pray that some form of SQ42 releases. Even 60 seconds of Sandi's "acting" will fuel this thread for months. Scruffpuff fucked around with this message at 19:50 on May 24, 2017 |

A lot of what we're seeing in terms of "progress" is easily produced fluff. It's easy to hire an artist to make a picture, have an amateur bang out a piece of terrible fiction, or to have two people sit in front of a camera and awkwardly talk about nothing. CIG does these things because they can occur in a vacuum and deliver a lot of "content" for little in the way of time or talent. It's all a giant farce while the actual developers struggle to produce anything while drowning in over half a decade of lovely code and half-assed implementation all while dealing with Chris constantly changing direction and demanding they drop everything to produce a demo. The actual hard stuff like networking, gameplay, optimization, and physics are constantly pushed back or hacked together so that the backers have something to play with. In the context of developing an actual product it seems insane, but in the context of trying to keep a struggling project afloat while hiding the truth from the backers it makes perfect sense. Don't look at the terrible videos, lovely writing, or constant deluge of new ship sales and concept art in the context of game development. Look at it in the context of a company desperate to present the image of success while dealing with the reality of failure.

"Alright so we've been hard at work over these last 6 years to create the most immersive video game of all time. Unfortunately, we've come across some pretty big hurdles and, as a result, we've dropped the game portion until further notice. Work on the video side of things will continue as normal."
