Tokamak posted:To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Metal Gear Solid. The political commentary is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of international politics most of the meaning will go over a typical gamer’s head. When I want apt political commentary I usually go play Metal Wolf Chaos but MGS does indeed deliver on that front too. Fatte catte tax: ![]()

The recent spate of communications regarding network code changes in recent patches, the emphasis on <magic word> network-related testing and scheduling the network god for a presentation to the faithful seems to be payback from the other devs and community managers for speaking out of turn. 1. You said netcode was working fine. So how about we tell everyone that it isn't fine by pointing out that it is being updated and needs focused testing. 2. We're gonna let you feed the wolves directly, instead of semi-anonymously via text. That should send a clear message to any other devs who feel like speaking out of turn, but are not quickly replaceable. If they were deep in networking guys, I'm pretty sure he would have been disavowed and memory-holed by now.

Lladre posted:But guy's like that Michu feller are broken in the brain in the sort of way that while they will get taken advantage of, and will be taken advantage of in the future like a loyal dog who thinks their master is coming back after leaving the on the side of the road. He's a small sapling in a dense forest, surrounded on every side by ancient oaks and redwoods, strangled of light for he is not tall, strangled of water for his roots are not deep. He will suffer and then die. This is the way of the forest.

Cloud Imperium Games LLC updated their California Statement of Information on 12/6/17 (2 years late). The only changes of note are they finally notified the state that they are no longer on Sunset Blvd. and they changed the business activities from "Game Development and Publishing" to "Game Development" So maybe they need a publisher now? e: They also created a new LLC on 11/30/17.

Beet Wagon posted:The best thing about all the guys screaming for first person fidelity and maximum box-loading immersion is they're the same idiot morons who are going to do everything in their power to skip all that poo poo once it ends up in game. Any would be developers out there. Never listen to your community, they will ruin your loving game. They will do everything they can to destroy it.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the verse Not a citizen was stirring, not even an Osiris; The jpegs were hung by the computer with care, In hopes that St. Roberts soon would be there; The manchildren were nestled all snug in their wankpod beds; While visions of space rape gangs danced in their heads; And mamma in her bedroom, and I in my snoop cap, Had just settled my smoothbrain for a soon to be out 3.0 nap, When out on the landing pad there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my wankpod to see what was the matter.

The comedy of games starts like this Our dreams are way too big for the likes of Chris And so Sandi, she divines this alternative They'll sell fake ships and hope whoever buys them from their store Is kind enough to buy some more And, pledging, that's pretty much how it's been ever since Now the Kickstarter left a few issues to address Like, say, that most of the game hadn't even been thought up yet So somebody's got to code the physics while I advertise more ships I'd do it myself, but what, are you going to deal with the spergs? He says as soon as he gets back from Paris, we can switch It's hard not to fall in love with something so hopeless Backers, I hope we don't end up regretting this Comedy, now that's what I call pure comedy Just wait until the part where they start to believe That they can do almost anything And some "all-powerful" being endowed this horror show with meaning Oh, their ships are all the best They worship the Devs and they're totally obsessed With rape fantasies, updated ship stats, boring lore, an expensive and bland decor And they get terribly upset When you question their sacred texts Written by woman-hating epileptics Their languages just serve to confuse them Their confusion somehow makes them more sure They build fortunes bilking mental illness And send out shills to maintain perceived allure Why do they hate these Goons just trying to help them? What makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable? These morons are hell-bent on fashioning new lives So they can go on without confronting their own Oh comedy, their illusions they've no choice but to believe Their horizons that just forever recede And how's this for irony, their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs That they never ever have to leave Oh comedy, oh it's like something that a madman would conceive! The only thing that seems to make them feel alive is a several hour drive But the only thing that they request is something to buy to warp with Until there's nothing left to theft Just random pledges made simply out of spite I hate to say it, but Derek Smart was right

In case you missed it, an earlier Cottee column about Star Citizen: https://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/feature/the-star-killer,468095 quote:One day a gamer with vivid memories of playing Wing Commander back in the 1980s entered an antique store and picked up a cursed monkey paw. Whilst inspecting the curio, he absent-mindedly said to himself: “Man, those old Chris Roberts space shooters were great, but I wish he had unlimited time and money to make a game that could truly live up to his vision.” With a sinister creak, one of the fingers curled. The shop-keeper rang up the purchase, and to the aging nerd spoke two ominous words: “No refunds.” Also: https://twitter.com/J_Cottee/status/926438419655307264
