ItBreathes posted:The movie was a satire, the novel has a pages long diatribe smack in the middle as to how it's the only way to have a proper society. Guys. It's possible to write an internally consistent novel written specifically from a character's point of view without any of that actually mapping to how you really think society should be. It's like a lot of science fiction is about writing about an idea that you don't have to want to exist in real life, or something. Go read The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress and tell me how consistent its world and politics are with Starship Troopers. It's like Heinlein was an author of novels, or something.

Remora posted:Guys. I mean I hate to jump in on the Heinlein derail, but it's pretty well-known that his politics were kinda all over the map. He literally wrote Starship Troopers because he got mad that left-leaning Americans wanted to put an end to nuclear testing in the late 50s. e: I'm gonna change "changed severely over the course of his career" to "all over the map" cause ST and SIASL were released so close to each other. His politics did change over the course of his career, but that might not explain the apparent discrepancy between the two books, released in 58 and 61 respectively.

All fun and stuff about the underlying leanings of Star troopers, but we need to focus on what is really important! How long has the bartender been in "development"? I'm pretty sure some indy games have been announced and released in the time this amazing AI bartender has been in development. How will we ever get true Hairy Roberts without delivering this much needed npc? The pipelines alone that are tied to this one npc are staggering and must weight on commandos daily! But seriously how long have they been working on this stupid npc?

I've been making GBS threads on this project for years and now I find out they have a hair pipeline? Looks like I've been wrong about this space game. I'm buying back in!

I'm too lazy to read back through the notes but wasn't there also something changing a female character wouldn't save or whatever? So I guess hair pipeline is tier 0.

It's a good thing Sandi doesn't really follow the game's development, she'd freak out if she realised the pipeline had hair on it...

Remora posted:Guys. The character who goes on said diatribe is the old teacher of the narrator that he visits in the middle of the novel specifically so this could happen. It's completely divorced from the plot and entirely serious.

Jokes on you goonies  Star Citizen is out and is officially good as the: "true spiritual successor to Origin Systems’ Privateer, and in doing so gives every player a chance to live a life like famed space scoundrel Han Solo." https://bit.ly/2OiqzkH

Zushio posted:I unironically love the first Starship Troopers movie (and may we not discuss the sequels), the Roughnecks Chronicles TV series, the mildy obscure FPS, and the extremely obscure anime OVA. They are hugely fun and well done science fiction.The book I enjoy overall for the science fiction and the stark differences from other versions. I don't have a meaningful comment on the politics, but I know that at one point it was (and may still be) required reading for US Military Officers. Never heard of the anime OVA. Going to check it out. Thanks!

I don't know how you can say Sandi's not doing anything. Look! She signed her name to the fake position in the fictional company that they are LARPing, inside the real company that they aren't managing! Also I really appreciate that they're gauging my interest in their cheap poo poo before they try to peddle any more of it. Wonder if they got burned on some of the previous orders?

trucutru posted:Wait until you see the six-legged Xi'an WarHorses in all their fidelitous splendor. The online stuff is definitely going to be interesting if only to see what people do with it, I never bothered with it on PS4 prefering to stick to the offline since it's just so darn good and well made. The only downside for me with it coming to pc is that I'm probably going to have to upgrade my computer to run it properly, I'm about 4 years overdue for an upgrade since I hardly ever use it for games these days lol.  The wifes pc is a beast though so might just have to 'borrow' that haha On the subject of SC and the report to companies house, did anyone else spot the "declining demand in the market" sentance? It made me chuckle

So did anyone here catch a probation from this thread? It looks like a few of the white knights might have been hit with a timeout since they haven't posted in SC for a while.

It's not like we're desperate for every last cent over here! We don't need to go scrounging the back alleys of Guangzhou looking for an ancient man with a mysterious grin and a box of pens that already have our logo on them. We do that for you, the backers, and also because of a gypsy curse that compels us to sell at least 100 stupid pieces of garbage to idiots per month or we all burst into flames.

lol that reminds me of all the pictures of Star Citizen travel mugs that were completely falling apart that cropped up a little while ago. Can you imagine having the merch you bought cause you love a game fall apart before the game even comes out?
