Beet Wagon posted:Yeah there was a little pause where he scrunched up his nose all funny and you could almost see him readjusting his worldview to allow for the existence of dudes like me. Admittedly he was super cool about it, I half expected him to call me a homo or something. Florida rednecks aren't exactly the most accepting type. gently caress the haters I love Shake it Off.

Every aspect of consumer spaceflight will be meticulously simulated via a series of minigames. The flight attendants will be playing DDR clones to give out flight safety instructions, change the laserdiscs in the entertainment center or blow the co-pilot in the space-lav. The cattle class will grind XP by doing endless crosswords to distract themselves from fantasising about killing themselves and/or the kid kicking the back of their moon-seat. The pilot will have to divert his attention between manning the ship controls keep the ship from crashing into the sun, and completing random, sudden QTEs in order to not pass out in agony after eating some bad seafood.

We all know that Full Burn is the greatest power ballad in the universe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toxh4i3ZEqQ But there are other power ballads that are not lovely. What's your favorite? My contribution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmWE9UBFwtY

Iron Tusk posted:In case anyone thinks that their arbitration clauses and no class action provisions won't hold, take a good read. It's interesting that this article just hit. We were having the same discussions with legal some time in Aug about the chances of a class action being shut down and shoved to arbitration and whether or not it was even worth wasting time on a class action suit. However, in the case of Star Citizen, since it involves some serious allegations that go beyond overcharges, not to mention the key issue being that it's crowd-funded, the attorneys feel that it has very good chances of surviving a class action challenge. And even if it didn't, going to arbitration will yield the same results we are seeking: financial accountability for over $94m in backer money. Plus, if nothing else, it will most definitely cause the FTC and FBI to speed up whatever it is they're supposed to be doing to help find out where all this money went.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Hahaha It's a big part of their success. They know what to release, how long it will take, and when to stop. Plus most of the asset based stretch stuff is in the parallel missions for things like more mercenary companies or a bigger book. I just upped my pledge to $50 now that they hit Multi-player.

Shouldn't they be in it if they're closing studios down? the WARN Act posted:A WARN notice is required when a business with more I believe that Austin was around 50? if their numbers dipped below that, they wouldn't have to give notice.

The craziest part about this mixing minigame is that so much of the full version of the game is required in place for it to serve any purpose -They have to build the ship that basically a passenger plane (it's just a jpg right now) -They have to make the ship flyable -They have to have multi-crew in for the many seats inside -They have to program NPCs that actually want a place to go -They have to program NPCs to have individual demands -They have to program ability to travel from star system to star system -They have to program places to land -They have to program a way to drop off and load NPCs -They have to have a working economy to insert pricing

I bet with 99% certainty that Chris Roberts was getting drunk on an upper-deck business class flight when he came up with that idea. Then fired off an email to MAKE IT HAPPEN immediately upon landing.

What is it about this 'game' that doing fake service jobs for fake in game currency is considered fun and interesting compared to real life service jobs that make you real life money.

Madcosby posted:The craziest part about this mixing minigame is that so much of the full version of the game is required in place for it to serve any purpose Ahh, but don't forget that the last time the passenger ship came up that in addition to the drink mixing minigame, you could also show your NPC passengers movies. Movies which are items that are found/bought/acquired in game. The quality and apparent varienty of said movies somehow ties into that last point in determining how much money you make for ferrying NPCs. So more stuff to code.

I believe Karl just emails her things that concern him, like the screenshot of that radio guy who's been flipping out about it ever since.
