SaltEMike gripes about Star Citizen again https://twitch.tv/757314874  "you can't wait to see where another 51 months takes me? At the rate this company is moving, not very far. I am in a depressed state about this game. 3.10 i was excited. I'm bored, I'm just bored. This is different than every other time, this is different"

Yeah, spiders and house geckos/lizards (which eat spiders too, so they are obviously an upgrade) are cool and always welcome at home to get rid of pests. Just don't spin your webs in an annoying place and you're cool.

even if that was halfway believable, all it means is CIG took 300 million + and 8 years to make a bunch of tools, so someone else can make a game with it all and get paid for it from CIG great success Chris, you've managed to find a way to stall things worse than everyone thought

colonelwest posted:My favorite Citizen response to the almost complete communications blackout from CIG, is that they don’t deserve any transparency. Because they haven’t yet driven away all of the haters and FUDsters, or fully excised the doubt within themselves; so that each update from CIG can land in a bubble absolutely free of criticism. Only then will they be worthy of receiving the roadmap to the roadmap. The usual cultish behavior.  But honestly for all the guys who really want to have a video game they can enjoy and just want some answers, I hope CIG will provide. This is them being late to their own party. Again. The least they can do is tell people they didn't make it after all.

At least, as far as I'm aware, the Penguin is not going to piss off Sanrio with a potential lawsuit over their ripoff of Hello Kitty. If I were cig, I too would try to bury their previous mascot into the depths of a forgotten bad accident. But similarly, when you have a broken game and your response to try to placate people is by giving them some toy items because you can't actually fix the game, I guess more power to then if People fall for it.

colonelwest posted:Now that the Q3 SQ54 Beta deadline has definitively passed without any comment from CIG, both games once again have no release dates or even a vague estimation of completion. Just want to confirm this story as 100% true. Just last year I was at a conference where colonelwest was talking about developing a webpage and he explained that his team of 200 people were nearing completion of the login page after only 20 years. There was, as you imagine, a collective gasp from all of us and somebody stood up and shouted "How can you do that so fast?! Tell us your secret!!" And while I was sipping on a pumpkin spice latte he said that it was because he harnessed the true power of infinite cloud computing and his tier 0 iteration of button link tech was coming along well. His keyboard to screen pipeline was strong and in good form and he was designing the login screen for future computers and Internet that would run it, so naturally the demo was very slow and jerky. But really it was a room full of CTOs all begging for the ability to develop some piece of software within their lifetime. After that I joined him in the "how to have your children continue your jira ticket and maintain version continuity across generations" panel. It was all pretty eye opening and I highly suggest when we're out of corona you all attend the next year.

Honestly I think it's time to start supporting CIG. I've heard from so many legitimate CEOs and CTOs and developers that say this is perfectly normal that I no longer believe in progress anymore. In fact, I'm going to try to find a good dial up Internet provider in my area again so I can whip out the old 9600 bauds of power, which is honestly more than anybody will ever need. I'm gonna go play some Missile Command while I wait for Chris to revolutionize deployment strategies and personal computer gaming. I sure hope this will work with my Voodoo card because I am ready!

The inevitable consequences of Starfield is that people will get their space sex dungeons in levels of fidelity and porcelain skin from hugely over engineered female models that Bethesda's modding community have been perfecting over the last decade in Skyrim. If SC can't beat Starfield to market it will probably be a huge blow, because Starfield will very quickly go from M rated to AO to WTF within a week or two. Not only will there be space sex dungeons, but I'm pretty confident people will mod Star Citizen into as well... and it will probably work better and look better in motion than the source material. Or Starfield could also be terrible because Bethesda hasn't had a decent game come out that wasn't Doom since Skyrim, either. They don't exactly fill me with confidence. But if it's even close to Skyrim or Oblivion, it's going to hurt the money mill for SC pretty quickly. Once you can fly around in SC ships in a working game while getting a lap dance from your in game sibling, they're one bathroom mod away from sucking the life and excitement out of CRs hopes and dreams.

Lol yeah, I’m also going to make the bold prediction that we’ll be able to fly around a fully functioning Idris with multi-crew mechanics in a Starfield mod, before any of that exists in Star Citizen.

Scruffpuff posted:Chris Roberts thinks that pixels in a video game should be 1:1 to atoms in the real world. Which is why "you control the spaceman who controls the ship" is so important - the spaceman and ship exist independently, like everything else, and when you tell him to sit down he sits in the chair of the ship and then uses the controls to control the ship, which, no matter how you accomplish it, is different only in the minds of the backers from just controlling the ship directly like actual games do. Everything has to "exist" in the gamespace simultaneously, how that's more "real" that using loading screens is beyond me, since everything virtual is fake by definition - loading an entire 30 GB .pst file into RAM at once in Outlook isn't more real than just loading the bits you're currently looking at, but in Chris Roberts's mind, that's "fake." You see, in real life you're holding an entire book, even if you can only see the pages it's opened to, the whole book is always there, so in a game it has to work that way too! That's "real," don't you understand how important it is to just know in the back of your mind that the pages you can't see are there anyway? I'm just catching back up and had to quote these powerful words.

Okay, so I was wrong in what I guessed Cloud Imperium UK Ltd had done. So what they have in fact done, is moved £1m from the share premium account to a new special reserve, reducing the £23.7m to £22.7m in the share premium account. Since the company is technically insolvent, there are restrictions on what they can do with cash they have, which they only have via the share premium account. Namely pay dividends. Goodman Jones posted:A common frustration The only logical reason to do this is if you want to take £1m out of the technically insolvent company that is only propped up by a recent infusion of capital. Very odd. If they do declare a dividend, it won't be public until December of the year after when the accounts are filed. Such a small amount though, perhaps they will repeat this process in future. Here's their accompanying statement saying they are a solvent company for the next 12 months. Erin possibly spoiling a feature of Odyssey expansion by signing ED Robots.
