First time opening my yap on here, God help me. I started a career in thread-lurking shortly before this latest SC thread came into existence... and have somehow kept up ever since. This thread is a miracle of comedy delivery. Here's something I noticed about the linked Gillian Anderson "interview". As many have said, there was indeed something awkward and wrong about it. The penny dropped when I looked up the other videos, and noticed this... Gary Oldman - Light's on the left Sandi - Light's on the right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTuhr_vzTEE Mark Hamill - Light's on the left Sandi - Light's on the right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vqB5lD73dw Gillian Anderson - Light's on the the right Sandi - Light's on the right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vECofeHSmqo Viewers intuitively know the two sides don't fit, even if they can't express exactly why. Our brains know "impossible" when they see it, and simply won't accept that it's a conversation between two people facing each other. The lighting was obviously set up differently for Gillian Anderson's bit... and they went with the wrong lighting for their patch-up job, which ended up looking like an amateur-hour hatchet job.

Goobs posted:T'was no thread, was the CIG stream where I got banned for asking if a guy was Gary Oldman then made a new account, came on and proclaimed that I could only jerk off while listening to other peoples voices live on Twitch and never got banned for it. I was then 24 hour banned on all my accounts because the account I asked if someone was Gary Oldman on was reported by the CIG moderators. I don't see why you'd be banned. You didn't even mention Hitler.

Toops posted:Yeah this one really kills me. I've had to deal with chaos and change in every field of software engineering I've worked in. Games is no different. That was me, exactly, in the late eighties. While at university, I went from dodgy back yard software skunkworks "resident", to garage-operation lone coder, to an actual paid position at a dodgy French game developer/publisher. That gig paid so little I couldn't afford the rent and food bills simultaneously... but still spouting "I'm never working 9 to 5 in a boring proper office", "I'm gunna be rich MY way, pay off the old folks' mortgage and drive a sports car", and all that crap. Five glorious years of Amiga game development. Fun part of my life. Everything about that industry was great. Except the industry. Broken by shonky operators, incompetent project planning (can't bring myself to call what they did "project management") and breathtakingly shameless abuse of coders' work ethics and drive to complete. It was about the time I had to choose between enjoying Paris on an empty stomach OR enjoying Paris without a roof over my head that I woke the hell up and got the gently caress out of games.

They didn't properly read that part of the annual report. 1. The column of figures he's quoting there was Year Ended March 2011, not 2015. 2. All figures were in thousands of US dollars.

Beet Wagon posted:I can't find a better shot of it, but it's a print of a rainbow trout that I bought when we went to Alaska last summer. It looks like it's screaming because they actually paint the fish and then press it onto the paper to create the image, so not all of the fish come across. But that was a reproduction anyway, so at most I'm responsible for like 1/1000th of that fish's death. In the Fourth Stimpire, arts students undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless painart, where they are painted and then pressed onto paper to create an image. Due to the rigorous disembowelling process, not all of the arts student comes across in the picture. [Editor's note: Technically, 40,000 years is not "endless"] Real edit: gently caress you, Alaska!

Beet Wagon posted:It really is an awful feeling, especially because they bolt and you're probably never going to get a chance to put them out of their misery Fish stamping art seems a bit weird to me, but arts student stamping is all good. I wonder if you can be an art dealer in Star Citizen. Upload your own work, buy a gallery in a space station, and sell it to other citizens with a keen eye for quality art. I wish I'd asked about it in early 2014, because the answer would have been, "Yes, of course you can! All advanced human civilizations value their art!".
