Truly the pinnacle of literary genius. He will be sorely missed. And by sorely missed I mean not at all, because he never loving contributed a thing other than one word reactions and meltdowns about how people were not entertaining him.

Don't forget his sarcastic reply of "puppet master" whenever anyone put him in his place.

Anyway, I eagerly await a video highlighting the undocumented features of Star Marine: GotY Every Year from the resident dancing cat with rage issues. ... Although I guess that would require it to be released.

They just have to layer the code on top of it.

I am a chronic procrastinater. I am very good at my job, however, and my slacking is allowed due to my output being exceptional. I usually have to make excuses to people the first couple of times I work with them until they learn this and I will say that I'm 90% complete, I just need to do this one more little thing. Given not many people understand what I do, I can say pretty much any component of the work and they won't know to question it, so I get a chuckle out of saying a major part.
Not once has my bullshit been this obvious.

It honestly seems like he doesn't understand that the underlying code is the most important factor of the game playability equation.

Star Citizen is the Delorean of gaming. They built a shell that they thought looked cool (it didn't) and then hastily threw together the engine and chassis with the cheapest parts, to the point where it was an undrivable death trap.

E: didn't the Delorean manufacturers get done for squandering investor funds?

what the poo poo. how do you spend $60mm on marketing that, as far as I can tell, basically extends to a few weird fake review sites and lovely streamers.

By funneling backer money to yourself and friends through massively padded invoices. "Internal marketing" seems like a massive red-flag there, especially when you consider how little actual external advertising has been done. It isn't like they've taken out SuperBowl spots.

How much can you possibly legitimately spend advertising your own product to your own staff who are developing it? Have they created a Brazil-esque mind control environment where Full Burn plays around the clock with "You love Star Citizen" backmasked into it? And holy lol does it not bode well for the quality of your game that you have to do internal promotion because staff won't play it of their own accord.

Speaking of scams, isn't one of Kickstarter's biggest problems that companies will take out high interest short-term loans to pad the funding number and create media attention? Then when the campaign ends and development starts, they run out of money shockingly fast because in reality they only had half the amount they claimed, and backers were only covering interest on the loans plus a small amount of funding.

Me and a few muso buddies picked it apart and it's basically a very obvious rip off of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw

All the elements are there and in the same order (cheeky keyboard riff into low key opening verse into anthemic chorus, the structure is pretty much identical)

It's almost as if someone said something like "I want it like..."

The singer is doing an awful Peter Murphy impression, too. (Unless Peter has fallen on really hard times and desperately needed a paycheck).

e: I assume Chris' iTunes had just finished playing Europe and then Bauhaus and that was what was in his head at the time. "I want it like.. but with this singing...."

That leaked S42 script is great - I'm surprised it hasn't been mined more for thread content.

Pretty much confirms Roberts has seen Star Wars and a few eps of Battlestar Galactica a bunch of times, and absolutely nothing else.

I like that Pusher is the 2nd best pilot. And is only referred to by that name twice throughout the entire script.

I always love this. Someone, possibly Sandi herself, put CIG's opinion of her job right in her character's name. "Pusher". It's so audacious you don't realise she's mocking her ability to sell JPGs to people as if they were hard drugs and she's doing it in plain sight.

Seriously, when the tell-all memoirs come out and the grave, grey discussions of the Great Star Citizen Scam get published, people are going to refuse to believe anyone could so openly declare their contempt for their customer base.

I didn't even think about this until you brought this up. I bet her role in the game is to literally try and sell you poo poo for cash monies during missions.
