Alright.
It's cool that av purchases can't be traced thanks to these hack forums code, which allowed whoever found that personal site of mine (which has no links to my username or any of my handles btw, so the only way to find it is to know my real name) to buy IRL pictures of me as an avatar.

When I graduated high school I moved out of state to a fairly well paying industrial job. I got bad social anxiety and depression so it wasn't exactly the best experience. I moved up there by myself, lived on my own, and didn't know anybody up there. I think if anyone else was given the opportunity of a clean slate with a well paying 9-5 job they would excel; not me though.

I don't got much experience talking to anyone, more specifically the ladies. I'm addicted to porn and I hate it. I often masturbate 4 times a day to any fetishes you can imagine. So since this was the first time I lived on my own, I decided to get a little frisky and buy a toy.

I bought this giant replica rear end/vagina replica of some porn star I can't remember and a couple starter dildos for the prostate off Adam and Eve.

Well the dildos came in first so I used them. I was feeling a little constipated earlier in the day but didn't think nothing of it. After reaching climax I took the dildo out, stood up and there was a small puddle of poo. Instead of cleaning it up I just slept on the opposite side of the bed for 4 months.

I was really excited when my rear end came in. I named her Susan. I had never used anything like it before, the pleasure was amazing. The first 6 times were great, but after a while she started to stink because I didn't clean her out.

I remember leaving one weekend to visit my family back home and when I came back it was like a horror scene. Fruit flies were everywhere, they were coming straight out of Susan's Anus. The stench of dried lube and rotten cum was too much....

I spent well into the triple digits on Susan though so I got one last round in. It was weird taking that shower and having to wash off dead fruit flies off my dick.

Anyway, that was about 8 years ago now and Star Citizen is still the most hosed up thing I've ever seen.

While SQ42 nonsense will serve as a brief distraction, if 3.0 doesn't come out next year that will surely break even the most die hard Citizens.

Welcome to CIG. We don't run our game, but we have an "arrangement" with the people who do.

Yeah, no. No matter how bad Unca Derek is made to look, Star Citizen will never be good.

I like how for scams they get presenters with British accents to give it "credibility" for the American investors. If you said that poo poo with a general American accent, you'd sound like Trump and nobody would loving believe you because it's transparently bullshit. I blame Richard Branson for first evoking that "nobody's done this before" (though he's created tangible things of actual value) "British daring" thing that our favourite Mancunian mushmouth seems to have capitalised on.

Correct...Banu is missing.

But then, so is the Banu Ship.

Edit, guess my point was as the velocity of funding increased, a million was required to develop three languages. Yet to develop 100 systems wasn't much more in the early days funding.

Is that supposed to be in slow motion or was that the engine just grinding to a halt. I mean it looks like it explodes so hard it stops the planets from turning.

I look forward to when SC allows VR. You can't handwave motion sickness and goodness knows what other ailments from having such a craptastic engine. Oh it's just alpha, migranes, vomiting and wooziness are to be expected. Bring on VR and let the citizens enjoy 24fps and the juddering nightmare as close to their face as possible.

ACTUAL RESULT
A watermark for 123RF stock graphics company can be seen in the logo.

EXPECTED RESULT
Watermark should not bee seen. Just want CIG to catch legal problems for this.

One of the dumbest things about that ship is that, according to their brochure, that ugly piece of poo poo has 2 size-4 guns in the front, the same type the medium ships like the Constellation have. But it also has the equivalent of a size-7 (capital-sized) gun on the top, just for kicks, plus some more guns somewhere else yet only your regular fighter-sized power plant. So now they are not even pretending that there will be any order or logic to their subsystems and weapons or whatever.

Expect a space motorbike that is just a giant railgun with a commando on top soon.

I'd like to err on the side that they got both greedy and continue to have no idea what they're doing. CR is an out of touch, way out of his league ex programmer from the early to mid 90s, trying to build the impossible by not doing anything right except graphics. Not even animation, just graphics.

I'm pretty confident that I think his understanding of the 90s and what he was told by the CryEngine guys have caused a misfire of the project.

The CryEngine guys were told that this was basically an arena space game with trading and stuff like Freelancer. Some walking around in FPS levels. The hardest part was going to get people walking around inside space ships, but it's been done before with magic.

At that time, they probably reviewed the project and advised Chris that graphics were going to be the hurdle, because of the amount of stuff he wanted to have. The gameplay loop wasn't that tough.

Well.

Fast forward to today where the gameplay loop is an impossible dream of confusion. The scope of the game itself may as well be The Matrix. While the CryEngine guys apparently failed, and Chris never listened to the cries of his internal programming teams, he's since bled any talent that may have been able to bring a fraction of the vision to life.

Now he's working with middle talent and probably mostly fresh out of college graduates. He can't convey an idea to save his life. There is no design documentation to speak of. One day you're working on the game, the next suddenly you need to build a fake 3.0 level, or a loving sandworm fever dream that makes no sense.

All the while Chris has no understanding of how difficult his ideas are to make, and seriously believes that having an idea is more valuable than the people capable of making an idea into reality.

So what does all this net you?

Basically exactly everything Star Citizen is.
- Missed deadlines everywhere
- Features promised being pulled due to impossibility
- Features promised delayed far into other updates
- No honesty or understanding of what will be in a deliverable
- Customers who have no clue what to expect
- Totally disconnected games which will never merge together
- Zero progress on an actual MMO system
- Bugs galore

This is not anywhere near comprehensive, but none of it is a lie. This is 5 years and $140 million. People who have faith in this are astonishing. People who defend it need to go into the Guinness Book for something.
