I know I've said this a couple times but it always really surprises me the way citizens become more and more unhinged the longer this goes on.

Imagine stanning a loving progress bar that has never actually been tied to any kind of progress lol

They look at the progress bar and dream about how much more finished the *real * progress bar is.

Jesus. SC really is a honeypot for the worst kind of gamers humans, isn't it? That this guy has an audience, and that he probably is constantly as much of a loving rear end in a top hat kind of sicken me.

Maybe if they were working on SSOCS it'd be in the loving roadmap

"You can sit down here"
"There are spaces to sit down in"
"Here you can sit down, possibly"
"Imagine rich people sitting here, waiting"
"When we get fish tech, there'll be fish here"
"This also forms a screen, where you can get changed"

Wtf is this? This isn't a space game, there's no actual gameplay, there's no potential even for gameplay, only an apparent artist showing off basic cookie cutter room design and asking people to 'imagine' things the whole way through, it's a ridiculous waste of money and time. Are they not supposed to be thinking about things like people running through there shooting stuff and lobbing grenades around?

You mean the secret 'dev build' of the progress bar V2, which is being developed with total transparency behind closed doors, which has been delayed because the guy responsible for making the high end coffee for the guy who is working on 'progress bars V3' got stuck in the garage door mechanism while bike riding and broke both his wrists because he was distracted by the strangler getting tickled by a lawyer with grabby hands, who was at the time responding to DS's FUD during July so the pipeline is still being developed, but the concept video for it is in greybox stage and just needs SSOCS in order for the bartender to mo-cap subsumption AI so that Mark Hamil can give his best performance as "Old Man" while a thumb absolves itself and CitizenCon can happen, this is all dependant on 'item v5' and 'concierge v4' being just around the corner and in concept stage before the alpha releases internally to testers who shitcan the whole thing completely succesfully into a vertical slice.

And thusly,

Man, that roadmap thread. It's at 500 comments now. That's basically bigger than the sum of all other thread activity for the week, and it's largely negative. Things are looking extremely poor for CIG.

I think it's really telling that the defenders are now writing complete fiction. They used to take the bare threads of excuses that CIG would play out and run with them. But CIG's been forced into some kind of "Honest accounting" mode in the last year, and the honest account is that.... they basically can't accomplish anything. Rather than see the writing on the wall, guys like Kazan and logicalChimp are retreating further and further into this "Super-secret features that for some reason they won't tell us about." Nowhere is there any kind of logic about why something as dry and pointless as "Server side object container streaming" would be hidden. Nowhere do they explain why it would take more than a half-dozen people even for the most complex system that CIG could envision. What do they think 500 artists and level designers have to do with back-end code? Why on earth would they do feature after feature on chefs and towels while they have some kind of tech revolution cooking? It's insane- in a very literal way, the things they're imagining do not correspond to reality anymore.

We've reached what feels like the final stage, to me. The cultists are rocking back and forth in the cabin as everything falls apart around them, hugging their knees and chanting to themselves "Krusty is coming. Krusty is coming."
