The Citizens always block those early days out of their mind with the mantra of “Chris was just building a company, development really didn’t start until 3 years ago.” They will never admit that a lot of work was being done by Chris’ early team of industry pros and even more was being outsourced to third party studios; most of which was never used. All the while millions of dollars were being blown.

Yeah I really struggle to understand those who get all excited about having to lie on the ground for 15 mintues or more waiting to get healed.

It is just awful.

The hill in the board makes my brain itch.

e: on closer examination I guess those are just tray handles on the side of the board. Glad my brain isn't itching any more. I agree the chess set is boring.

All 3 of those comments are absolutely perfect. I particularly like the one about if the judge were a "gamer" which carries in it two implications, which I suspect are being projected by the poster:

1) As a gamer, a US judge will render a judgement based on that fact and not based on the case, sacrificing her career in order to defend a cult. Because "game."
2) The comment about the "space connection" is dipping deep into the well the entire project springs from: if you keep saying it's a space game, it somehow becomes a space game, despite being pure poo poo and literally the worst "space game" ever devised by man, to the point where it's pretty much not even qualified to be called such.

This is the poo poo right here. This is where the years and years of Mirifibot are going to start paying off very heavy dividends, as the waveform collapses and the walls of reality are closing in on the cult, each thing that happens will come with a fully curated set of original backer defenses courtesy of Mirificus.

This thread made me curious and so I followed up to see what Dual Universe and Battlescape Infinity was like, but both look to be kinda just multiplayer games with a few other bells and whistles? B:I at least has some kind of offline exploratory mode. My dream game is one that combines the procgen base building poo poo and space legs with literally everything else in Elite: Dangerous.

Yeah yeah, you got baited by Chris's "dream" just like everybody. Procgen base building, space legs and an entire sandbox galaxy ? You don't get that in an indy game like I:B's. In fact you don't even get it with a $250M budget.

Go play and support real indies that make real games, even if they're less ambitious, than pledge into this black hole sucking your money and dreams that is called Star Citizen.

Okay, does anyone remember there was a dude who made a bunch of Twitter posts about how CI¿¿¿G??? had an obligation to make an "adult," "mature" game that was really just code for "my weird fetish" and had a gif of a woman tied to a chair getting hit by a bucket of water in all of his posts? Assuming this is something that actually happened or if I ate a bunch of expired meat and hallucinated in my fevered delirium, whatever happened to that guy? Is he still posting his weird nonsense? Did he get bored and move on to trying to get his rocks off to a different space game?

DID THIS ACTUALLY EVEN HAPPEN AT ALL??

They did that mobile map app tie-in a while back. Can't remember the name but it was pretty tenuous.

Here's a better quality:



It's not handles, it's some display thing, maybe for time control games? They seem differently curved at each side (mirrored, that is), so it's likely it's something like the left one is for you, the right one for your opponent.

I don't know why it upsets me so much, but I simply cannot handle 100k USD on outfits... They were not even that good.

At 50 USD an hour that's 2,000 man hours for a couple of single use outfits... I reckon you could get 30-35 top quality hand man's tailored suits for much.

Please bootcha you have to release an episode of sunk cost galaxy or show us some proof.

Unless is the appearance at pax, business / first class flights, nice hotels all expenses paid, the booth and several hemch men to boss around, and some cos play outfits. That I could believe.

The big reveal at CitCon will be a mobile game.

When the citizens get enraged, they will answer "Don't you all have phones?"

Why would CI!G do this?

Because Blizzard.

I just resigned myself to the fact I suck at disco. Old age and reflexes I guess combined with tv lag I blame it on. And I suck at mahjong too.

Gotta say, 0 was probably the most awesome/hilarious game I have ever played. The levels of absurdity are just astounding. Slowly working through 2.

But at the end of the day it cannot hold a candle to the AAAA+++ title known as Star Citizen.

To be fair, the same thing happened here. Did you forget the "Skadden will crush CIG ?" and "it's Skadden we're talking about here, not some amateurs" and "Skadden wouldn't touch a case they weren't 100% sure to win".

Result: Skadden got replaced and half of the claims are out of the picture.

AlbieQuirky posted:

True, and I was one of the “doubt Skadden would touch this unless it was super strong” but to be fair that was based on actually being familiar with Skadden’s reputation and its big win in the ZeniMax v. Oculus matter, not just fanfic about how some 60-year-old judge might secretly be “a gamer.”

If crappy 80s TV taught me anything it's that mundane poo poo needs to be floating or it isn't proper sci-fi.

Space Court isn't entirely boring. My favorite part was when the cult theorycrafted whether or not the judge would compromise her work ethic because her dad something something space, therefore she'd see the incredible things CIG was trying to do. The arrogance was staggering - the fact that they equate Chris Roberts's brain-fart with some kind of monumental advancement in our understanding and appreciation of space exploration - and that their failed-model viewer is so incredible that a US judge would literally sacrifice her job to defend it.
