Am I the only NC resident who doesn't give two shits about NC vinegar? I just don't like vinegar. Even pork bbq vinegar and I don't like sweet sauces either. Give me something with a bit of kick that's not too sweet and not vinegar and I'm happy. If only I could remember the name of the place we stopped at in Memphis. Anyway, you motherfuckers drummed up another 140+ posts while I was in a meeting. Anything good happen? Where are all of these new sidebar tags coming from?

wyoak posted:and my point is that unless you're involved with the day to day operations at CIG how the hell do you know I don't need to work at CIG to have an opinion on their marketing, I am a video game player in their target demographic, and the only time I ever hear anything about Star Citizen is reading about people talking about it on the internet since the begining, and that is understandable, why would you have a large marketing budget for a game that at this point doesn't exist, and won't for years. The game shouldn't have the same marketing budget as a game that is about to release though, and even if/when that time comes won't need a typical marketing budget because of how much press and word of mouth it has gotten from space ship fanboys. My problem isn't that Sandi hasn't sold more games, but that she isn't qualified for the role of VP of Marketing, and only has the job because of who her husband is, and that really a game at this point in development shouldn't even need a marketing team.

Had Ghost Peppers and some other poo poo in it, no vinegar, and it tasted loving awesome. Can't find it online though, but if you see it you should buy it.

SirPhoebos posted:I've mostly been lurking in this thread, so I'll let goons that have been involved with SC respond to your points. But one thing I'm curious about : as someone that still believes SC will be released, what do you think the game is going to be? I'll answer this one from my perspective. I'd like to see a take on commercial aviation in a space genre. I'm an edge-case, as I come from the Flight Simulator world and what I like to do is commercial flight (transporting passengers from location to location). For awhile I was on VATSIM, but eventually lost interest as further developments post 2004 (when FSX launched) stopped. With the death of the ACES team at Microsoft, there's been a lack of development in the flight simulator market. DCS is still around doing their combat games, and I was slightly involved with that, but nothing new has come. On the space sim side, we've had Elite: Dangerous, which took a fascinating route to release. Instead of trying to build complex, they went with polishing a simple flight model and releasing a basic simulator. It is a good example of a well designed product, though people quickly discovered that large world sims suffer from grind/lack of depth if they're released without enough interacting systems. They've been steadily adding bits, like the faction system, but their core gameplay (the verbs of their design) have not changed. That's why it still feels like a grind despite new features being added. They have not increased the gameplay depth yet. Once they do, I'll be looking into it again. My favorite release was the AssPirates in Space spin-off, Rebel Galaxy. Though short, I finished it with the largest ship in around 10 hours, it is exactly the kind of snack-sized thing I like between big games. I'm hoping that SC, at a basic level, will be as delightful to play as Rebel Galaxy, but with the depth of a full sim like Flight Simulator so that I have something to spend my time getting to learn the nuances of a complex system.

I haven't been paying much attention to the Roberts/Smart going-ons prior to reading the past two week's worth of posts in this thread over the course of the week, but I recall ages ago refunds not being possible for original game package (ie not added on jpegs) pledges. Has this changed and there is some official channel for it, or do you just e-mail customer support and hope for the best? I suppose it would be better to put that money towards E:D/Horizons as it is a good, existing game.
