 they're also planning to add coronavirus to the game and you have to take space showers to remove the spacerona before entering the medbay, after you've walked through the ship and infected everyone else. loving. what. or maybe it's just a mandatory shower room for goons

I had to look that up and Google translate does indeed translate a word that is non-existent in the German language.  Still, I am all for calling awkward and stupid moments gremlich from now on.

He showed me the email: full of the usual puffery selling the project as this big epic thing, a chance to make your name on a AAA project, huge budget, awesome team, etc. etc. the works. They didn't name the project or developer so he replied something along the lines of "if this is for star citizen don't ever contact me again". This couldn't have been Star Citizen though. Everybody knows that Star Citizen is the only AAAA of the world.

Taintrunner posted:DID ANYONE POST THE SPACE BILLARDS TABLE YET The Carrack is ultimate example of where this project is at going on 9 years and 300 million dollars. Literally everything inside it is just a static prop so you can LARP being a refined gentleman space explorer like Captain Picard. In one of CIG’s hype videos for it, Lando even talks about how the big bookcase in the captain’s office makes you looked smart and learned in front of your crew. Nothing works, can be interacted with and/or serves any gameplay function. But it’s all perfect for posing your spaceman in front of and snapping screenshots, so you can post them to Reddit along with your dreams.txt about exploration gameplay; which has no game mechanics even designed for it and the game currently has 3/4 of star system 1/100.

Lol, haven't they had in the range of 70-90 job openings for well over a year now? Super weird that they haven't filled any of those positions. Almost like they are a horrible company to work for with crap pay.

Their job listings, currently at 85. I don't know anything about corporate hiring practices or AAAA development, but is it normal to have 1/3 of the listings to cover senior or lead positions?

CIG needs to maintain the illusion that they're right on the edge of explosive growth. That explains the job posting numbers, and the positions being "leads." If they were advertising a hundred regular positions it would make it look like their foundation was weak. But with the huge growth happening any minute you guys, we're definitely gonna need a bunch of leads to handle all this new totally organic growth based purely on quality offerings and customer demand and not at all based on lies, deception, subterfuge, manipulation, and fraud.
