He did that 13,000 hours in the last 3-4 years.

He's spent like a third of his life streaming SC for the last several years. One can only assume another third was spent sleeping. So, half his waking life for the last several years has been Star Citizen and Star Marine.

Can you even imagine? I feel nauseous.

This is why we leave WTFo a lot of slack. He has no tithings left to pay. If he ever turned, he'd be accepted immediately. He's been punished far more than enough.

We'd still gently caress him up for that weird PUA poo poo, though.

A standard working year in Australia is about 1900 - 2000 hours. The guy is pulling triple shifts and working weekends and public holidays and is earning sweet gently caress all.

Why did no one talk chris out of doing this poo poo seriously? did they not rehearse anything?! why just...WHY?!

I've encountered this a few times at work, it's what happens when a project has toxic leadership. The ego of the manager or director is paramount so all constructive criticism gets dismissed as being "negative" or even results in threats. Experienced operational staff and even paid experts get ignored when they raise serious issues even while the leadership eats up poo poo from outside contractor shills. Eventually it becomes apparent to all the staff that reality is a flexible thing under the current management so they start playing the game. Stats and reports get nudged or even outright fabricated to keep supervisors off their backs and serious issues are ignored or intentionally caused as often the only way things will get changed is if a client gets super pissed and complains. The end result is a leadership that floats around in a delusional bubble seeing and hearing only want they want and staff that are utterly disaffected and focused on self-preservation at the expense of everyone and everything around them.

In his brilliance Croberts will combine the groundbreaking face cam tech with the also groundbreaking render-to-texture tech and make it so every time you want to communicate with someone in a different ship you have to use the holo-interfacer and talk to each other's hologram face.

Even Sq42, the single player game that even 95% or more of the existing player base could care less about was a big no show. And everybody knows everything is pumping into Sq42. Where's that leave SC?


This is the most telling part for me. I can see a big ill-defined MMO going of the rails and getting stuck in development hell, but a singleplayer space shooty game with a story campaign is orders of magnitude less complex to make. After all this time it should be rock solid and ready to show off even if they are still polishing and adding content. I was actually expecting it at Gamescom but nope, nothing.

Empyrion has localised gravity in ships when they are in space. You have to put a gravity generator on your ships and you can't get out of the pilot's chair if the ship is moving. I don't know how the game works in MP though as I haven't tried it.

IT's a cumulative chart. Everything past 70-100 hours represents the baseline income. 2016 Gamescom is the clear outlier event and Croberts was kidding himself if he thought he could replicate it's success by re-heating the same poo poo with some FOIP added on top.

So this game looked dope in trailers and i kind of forgot about it. Used to loving LOVE freelancer, and I've been kinda of enjoying ED but it's too empty and featureless. From my brief research am I to assume that this is just a money pit and their is absolutely nothing worth spending money on for here? Even the single player?

The single player campaign fell in a black hole and the multiplayer is a barely functioning tech demo.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

On a side note, a few weeks ago I told my parents that I'd be sending them Unfair (board game) for Christmas. After describing it my stepdad's eyes lit up "there are no fun board games nowadays, that sounds great for annoying my friends!"

Huh, I helped play test that game with the designer before it went to kickstarter. The great thing about board game design is that every part of it has to be comprehensible and manageable by regular human brains. You can't fall back on a computer to do a bunch of arcane calculations or rely on ~fidelity~ to cover up the lack of game play. It really enforces a degree of discipline that video game designers can sometimes lack.
