At first I just thought he got a few hours probation. Dick move for sure, but still only a few hours.

Up until now I just thought that this was a fun thing to watch it burn, a developer who bit more than he can chew trying damage control on his failed creation. These last few pages however have convinced me that CIG and everyone involved is completely insane. Like Trump, if he was both a developer and the leader of scientology.

How do you get so fat? He's literally the fattest person I've ever seen.
In Germany we have a really dumb and bad show called "The biggest loser" where fat people get pseudo-bootcamped to lose weight. I watched it once and nobody there was close to this.

You weren't joking when you said that he can't wipe his own arse, right?

Hello James Brand, I would like to kindly invite you to join us in our private forum. Since the early departure of Karl (God bless his twisted souls) and the Permaban of Seraph (good riddance you sick gently caress) we have a distinct lack of crazies to supply us with in-house crazy-stuff and I think you could fill that role admirably.

That billion dollar pie, that nobody besides Valve, Riot and Blizzard ever has seen? Thats done as advertisment and not actually paying them any money?

Not to mention that nothing in SC is even close to being eSports, neither ingame (lol) or in Chris' coke induced feverdreams.

As soon as CiG tries to sell a "5 more hours of cutscenes" pack and nobody buys it because they don't get a pretend thing.

This may also cause the inevitable storm of people protesting they want to make their own story, not be forced down the Roberts story vision.

If SQ42 offers in game bonuses for the PU, people will flip over that too since they want their magical super character to be special.

Outside of the technical impossibilities of the game, it will be a social explosion of rage before any of it comes to fruition, assuming they make it that far.

CiG just need to stop development entirely so they can continue to sell dreams. They're going to smash the piggy bank with progress.

Ultimately though, the CiG gravy train will eventually tip the scales, and everybody backing them today will be holding matches and gasoline tomorrow.

It will be beautiful :allears:

Black holes don't work like that you morons :psyduck:

A stellar mass black hole has a Schwarzhild radius - distance from singularity to event horizon - counted in kilometers. At distances counted in light minutes the gravitational pull of the black hole will work exactly like any other massive object

Also no loving planets would be "absorbed" into the black hole that wouldn't be turned to dust by the supernova first

Does Chris know literally nothing about space?

Oh yeah, that really happened, just look at the first dozens of pages in the thread. Some redditor (most likely Dolvak) ran a bot on the thread that reported all pictures. Then we started linking to their own pictures on reddit so the bot would report them. :laugh:
Then they stopped and denied everything. If you mention this on reddit the narrative is that this was all a false flag attack by the goons. Why would we run the bot on our own thread instead of directly on reddit? :downs: Why did we only start linking to their pictures after a couple of days of our poo poo getting instantly taken down? :downs: Why would we stop when all of their poo poo started getting taken down? :downs:
Shitizens didn't become famous for their logic prowess.

Alpha Patch 2.1.2 has been released to the PTU, and is now available for player testing! This patch is a very targeted bug fix patch for Crusader and Arena Commander.

Your launcher should should show “2.1.2-315233” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Test.

Please review our list of 2.1.0 Known Issues, and take full advantage of our Issue Council area of the Community site to report any bugs you encounter, as well as contribute to other players submissions.

Some important call-outs:

A jet-pack looking item has re-appeared on the back of characters in Crusader, that will occasionally flicker in or out of reality. We are aware that ArcCorp is still suffering from some texture problems and level of detail popping.

Contents: Arena Commander Module: Fixes:

Gameplay

Fixed an issue where destroying the turret of a ship would render it unable to be targeted by other players.

User Interface Fixed an issue where a ships HUD could be (accidentally) interacted with outside of free-mouse or HUD interaction mode.

Persistent Universe: Fixes:

Environment

Made several changes to potentially resolve the audio corruption that could be experienced during extended gameplay sessions. We are collecting reports and data for this issue in a single Issue Council report.

Thats all nice and all, but whats the download size?
