had a conversation about star citizen today at work that was pretty depressing

i'm pretty sure i'm going to see that coworker on reddit later today wondering how to convert a non believer or how to fight derek smart lies because they got physically irritated when i brought up that it seems like a scam to me and i'll wait until there is something more than just a tech demo from a fps engine.

No. What I've maintained was that if we were to get an early bonus, we would get a few levels drop as full and polished, but not an entire game for alpha/beta testing. That will be for full release only.

Yeah man, I'm sure it'll be released.

Absolutely.



Released.

You guys need to lay off the tournament thing because I don't know a single tech company that doesn't do something eerily similar. I mean just last month we had a ping pong tournament and late last year we did a smash bros/sf5 tournament buy-in for extra life. Out of the laundry list of things we can sit back and laugh at CIG, this isn't really one of them.

Though our Foosball table isn't a 2 grand one but it's lasted years so who knows.

Did you buy a foosball table without ever producing anything though?

Did you release anything in the past four years?

Well then.


Yeah true, but I've had coworkers leave for startups that haven't released anything and still have a ping pong table


We play Project M with the ganondorf mod and it's much better than anything Smash U has to offer :smug:

He's not wrong here dude. I know we are all usually making fun of things here, but Star Citizen was a successful kickstarter with successful crowdfunding and made the people involved a lot of money. It's a success in that context.






I mean that's what I would expect a normal person to say because holy cow it's made Chris and Sandi a poo poo ton of money they don't deserve. It won't be a successful game. It's going to be a wet fart travelling through space. If I could con people into paying off my student loans and not get in trouble for it I would have to have a serious morality check with myself.

I saw a couple things regarding Beyond Good and Evil 2.

https://kotaku.com/what-beyond-good-evil-2-is-now-and-what-its-creators-1796116469 has a clip of really seamless surface to orbit looking stuff.

The second was watching Giant Bomb at Nite tonight and hearing them all trash the gently caress out of it. They said it's a tech demo for an incomplete game that's been delayed forever and compared it unfavorably to No Man's Sky. There was also some stuff about taking a picture of a pig and showing it to another pig and that second pig saying it knows the first pig, which sounds an awful lot like star citizen's supposed AI fantasy.

Giant Bomb at Night day 1 or 2 and staff or who was the guests? Gonna have to listen to this.

Posting from the past, but is Rez really a VR must buy? I feared it was just a crap port. If it's decent, I can see it being the absolute best mindfuck-fun roller coaster shooter ever >.>

*please convince me to buy this game that exists, as opposed to Star Citizen by Crobbles*

It's actually a really nice port on PC and the entire game is in VR and on-rails which is pretty cool and do-able and it's pretty loving D O P E.

And then they made a singular just for VR mode that is fantastic and blows it out of the water and it was like 20$ and is amazing.

The dark and messy room, and test setup is horrifying.

i know we are looking for reasons to make fun of people and while it may be dark it's very obvious that it's messy because of the making of the cosplay and not from years of neglect like a true neckbeard but whatever I guess

hey just a reminder to everybody that there are so many laws and there are so many practices that even if you are a lawyer who specializes in one area it doesn't automatically mean that you have a full understanding of another area of law


like for example if you specialize in copyright, you won't really fully understand international law or something like contract law on a gaming focus

when a bird doesn't like something they fluff up and get super defensive and sometimes walk back and forth to be intimidating. Birds who are sitting put and chilling usually are making the choice to so because they are comfortable.
