Odd to be negative on the company culture itself yet positive on the CEO, anonymous ex-employee. Who exactly is to blame for that culture you�re rightly down on?

In the words of the boss�s wife as she attempted to redirect praise away from one of her best-loved former employees and towards herself instead, �Well, it filters from the top.�

As for a lack of upward mobility... Look closer, friend:

� The world�s biggest fanboy for a mediocre 90s space pew-pew game went from writing school newsletters to being the �Master of Spaceships� for a $160M budgeted game in just a few years...

� An actress so awkward she still ends up on the cutting room floor of a Malcolmn McDowell film went from low-rent Australian travelogue hosting gigs years back to making huge bucks shooting scenes with bonafide Hollywood talents like Gary Oldman and Gillian Anderson in the blink of an eye...

� A self-professed Lego game reskinner now leads the development efforts of a 400+ person studio creating �the world�s first quadruple A game�...

There�s all kinds of upward mobility at Cloud Imperium Games, provided you�ve got the right kind of talent; namely, being a worshipper or family member of Chris Roberts. Maybe you just didn�t have what he was looking for?

Thank you daylight savings snake woman. Financial accounting is a foreign world for me and I enjoy reading these explanations where CIG screws up on that front.

Just want to let you know i ate those things in China and they were delicious. The real sea louse, not the pillow.

I am tempted by the pillow though.

Mr Fronts: Jan 31, 2016; Yo! The Mafia supports you. But don't tell no one. Spread the word.

So much cynical attitude towards SC 3.0. You can't get 9 women to make a baby in one month.

Well, you could, if they all lived in different time zones, like, say, California, Texas, UK and Germany. Then one woman could gestate the baby for a while, then pass over the foetus to the next woman, who is just waking up. And so on. That way, the baby gets worked on 24/7.

Babies have never been done like this before - it's quite groundbreaking.

And remember, a late baby is eventually good, but ... ... ... no, sorry, this is where I draw the line.

I'd say I go through a "I'm gonna buy a giant isopod pillow" a couple times a year on average. I should just buy one and get it over with haha.

I like the idea they're thinking they're sticking it to the warlord with their little sub.

And not that Derek hasn't spent most of his adult life fighting on the internet and trolling for replies from the mentally unwell. They built a loving shrine to him.

If I were Derek it would just fill my ego ball knowing that I take up so much real estate in their heads. That�s what makes trolling so satisfying.

So let me start off by saying there is no bigger fan of SC than me. I am literally all in financially, emotionally and spiritually. This game is going to be the best game ever and quite honestly the one true game. That being said I have a slight concern and wonder if I am just being silly. The previous burn downs showed far less bugs/tasks than what we have now. If you sum the current list we are at 291 tasks/bugs. This is drastically higher than before. Like I said I'm not bitching, whining or anything of that nature and I believe in star citizen to the point that I think I might be a zealot.
What do you guys think about the task/bug numbers growing so drastically?

I personally love how the only way backers can ask development questions is with a paragraph of justification that they are, for real, insane for Star Citizen and love it and are the biggest defender

Somebody should help them out with a boilerplate question system, like a canned reply. Only it�s a canned question.

�I have devoted my life to SC, and polish my shrine to CR nightly, and believe more than any belief ever that Star Citizen really is the game that will end all games. I know I will play it until I die, because already i have bought all the ships and all the packages. I have sent CIG food and drinks and love the developers. I pray to CR for their health nightly. I just wonder one tiny thing though, what do you think about <insert your actual question here>? But even if nobody responds it�s ok because I love SC and believe in it no matter what.�

The bit where they built a dumpster fire shrine to archive evidence, then can't produce poo poo from their archive, has such a wonderful parallel to the game that inspired the whole shitpile.

It's like a little star citizen ARG!
