There’s no purer distillation of this game’s lovely design than “you must use your inner thoughts menu to use a god drat chair”. Never been done before motherfucker.

Clicking on something and having menu popup with a bunch of verbs was a common design in old pc adventure games.

Every single one of the responders to my post in this thread are members of the Refunds sub and the SA forums. Coincedence? I bet you didn't want that to be mentioned, right?

Players may crash when changing hair back to original when using the character customizer.
Ships may display as rented if the player exits to title while a claim is in progress.
If the player unequips the undersuit in Star Marine the body will have various graphical issues.
The reformation distortion scattergun currently has a blue light texture issue.

There's also no iconography, which would save your mental processing time and possibly screen space.. And they literally spell out Press 'Right Bracket' to accept | Press 'Left Bracket' to decline. For something that you'd need to decide in seconds.
Also, really minor thing but a 4 character abbreviation is at least one too many for a common universal currency, if you're going to attach that in quick-response requests. I know alpha space bux are different from planned future space bux, but can they not simply use a symbol either way?

These are extra good bonus decisions because the BDSSE that will change gaming forever will definitely never need to be localized.

Because CI is incompetent.

With all the drama happening in US of A politics, I have fallen back on my Star Citizen reading/shitposting. I am happy to say I haven't missed anything. :)


This is insane even by the standards of the faithful.

I feel like in 100 years this will be in textbooks as an example of the failure of contemporary society and how it led to X. Something like learning about WW1-WW2. A story of how degenerate commercialism led to the 21st century equivalent of WW 1/2.

I love how there's all these issues with the character customization, because it's such a CI!G problem to have. You know how you fix all these problems in one fell swoop? Get rid of character customization, or at least heavily scale it back. Boom, problem solved.

poo poo like this is a textbook example of why you do the "grey boxes" approach first and then add all the fancy-looking, gameplay-irrelevant stuff like character customization later on.

Also I have to lol forever that GTA: San Andreas had character customization that's basically on-par with (if not better than) CI!G, and San Andreas is now a 15 year old game. Yeah the game was way ahead of its time when it came out, but that just means Chris should have told everyone to Archer borrow how San Andreas did it.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I think the most damning evidence of Star Citizen's lack of quality is the fact that it's so aggressively unfun and bad that goons won't log on to play it even to grief one of the worst and most grief-deserving communities in the history of gaming.

That's a bad game.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

I get the distinct feeling that Vertisce suffers from a severe lack of imagination. It's the only explanation I can see for his inability to envision just how huge his downvote count would actually be if he really was as brigaded as he always claims. It would also explain why he can't quite grasp just how far game development has evolved since the early '90s, and why SC is so thoroughly antiquated in relation to all actual modern games…

Vertisce is an old. Early 90's you say, try early 70's.

To be fair Wing Commander is quite the jump from Computer Space, so maybe he thinks SC will be something similar.

White/lithium grease on the guide-bars helped the stiction with mine. Same stuff they use on printers.



Lithium grease is not ideal for input devices, it doesn't take long for vital elements to evaporate and leave the mechanism feeling ratchet-y and honestly isn't even that smooth when fresh and has very poor damping properties. Use a real deal damping grease for joysticks/throttles/input devices operated by (shaky) human muscles. Nyogel 767a has no equals and makes simple mechanical devices feel like they have complex hydraulic damping. It's super high viscosity but because it's engineered for this has far less stiction tendencies (especially with age... this poo poo last practically forever) than anything else I've come across in years of searching. A small tube is a lifetime supply and a worthwhile investment.

Imagine, just imagine, if Game of thrones, Star Citizen, and the Trump presidency all imploded in the same year. Imagine it, it's really soothing to do I promise.

So many parallels can be drawn between these things I think they are all a symptom of the same human-conditional failure. A combination of toxic individualism, being unable to admit that one is wrong, insecurity and wanting to feel like a part of a group or cause, all set against a backdrop of genuine and justified - but misdirected when it comes to identifying the causes - feelings of having been left behind by society.

Then as a result of all of these factors coming together, imagine instead of just, y'know, coping with it and getting on with your poo poo, diving insanely into a ridiculous thing that exists only to use and exploit, defending and lionising it every step of the way as it becomes part of your false-yet-core identity.

Just imagine that.

It could also explain why some people are so obsessed with graphics or excessive detail and won't touch something that might have been their dream game but has more reasonable and cost effective visuals or abstracts away certain tedious elements. Maybe their brains just can't paint over any gaps with imagination?
