Star Citizen: Delayed slightly due to illness Also, who in their right mind would plan to release a product (sqlude) before work is finished on fundamental game code (3.0)? It's like launching a cruise liner from a dock and expecting it to make a maiden voyage before the engineers have actually made the hull.

Beet Wagon posted:Yeah but they're poo poo at that too. My account stayed open and accessible for like a week after I got my refund. I had to email CS again and be like "Hey dudes I can still log in and still have all my ships and poo poo, y'all might want to fix that." Haha, and there was me expecting them to do at least one thing correctly and professionally.  I wonder how many have had the same thing after getting their refund and upon noticing the error, sold all the things on the grey market before CIG noticed. I.N.R.I posted:There aren't any sane people left that still talk about this game on a daily basis except for the people working on it and the people who have money invested in it Your idea of sanity differs greatly from mine and pretty much every person I know in the real world who has heard of SC. I did have a very enthusiastic 'backer' working for me at one point, but due to his constant idiocy and weird behaviour at work it was deemed necessary to relieve him of his employment, he just pissed everyone else off with the constant SC sales pitching that I'm amazed he wasn't accidentally 'misplaced' in some concrete.  Quote from his supervisor (lead first aider and part time paramedic) : "If he doesn't shut up about that stupid game I'm going to bend a shovel over his head".

Completely ignoring the cascade of anger she sent to Beer of course, and how convieniant that obviously she doesn't ever send nasty mails to contractors, they have the proof right here: Edit; Just for the record I'm pretty positive given her previous form for emails that every one she sends to a contractor is a masters degree standard of resting bitch face in Microsoft Office format.

Natron posted:The idea that people who got their refunds will be incredibly pissed if the game comes out and is good is so loving bizarre. Do they even have a policy that prevents people buying back in after a refund? That would be a hilarous exercise in CIG self ego massaging, financial suicide for a young business with no products on the table though. I think they know that the game isn't ever going to be released in 'completed' state. Of course at the point when 90% of it is done, the core of our solar system, Sol the giant ball of really hot gas, will have expanded its boundries way beyond the point in which our planet is consumed, much like how dohnuts are consumed by the ever expanding land based lard formation known as Lesnick-B.

Be prepared to be taken for a ride, of your life, you'll be tickled pink, From the creative genius that almost ruined at least one company, who went on to er, erm, well, to not really do very much really, oh he sold a few cars, sports cars too, and loaned some media types some cash, Star Citizen, The Farce awakens. In the smell of lingering armpit sweat in the balding men only verse, there might be some rape but at least you can micromanage the ships vcr when it goes wrong, because vcr's do go wrong. Media reviews: 5/5 Would miss my bus and not make it to the theatre to see it again - R.Bailey, Daily Mail. 10/10 The selection of cake was breathtakingly eaten in one fell swoop by a vary large man who could stare at two people on opposite sides of the room at the same time - Sir Donalph Donneley Smidely Smithe esq, Daily Telegraph. 9/10 I'm glad my wife asked me to watch this work of genius, I've needed to drop a few pounds since Christmas and Mr Roberts certainly removed way more of those from me than I ever thought possible - Longrod Von Hugendong, Rearranging mortgage payments and fighting for custody of kids, Hertfordchestershire Hospital for the clinically retarded.

peter gabriel posted:But you just described the entirety of Chris's input "Artist" doesn't really apply to him though, he has no artistic ability of his own hence why he has to have a team of 100 actual artists to sketch out what years of cocaine has done to his fragile child mind. He can't draw for loving toffee either. Here's a good challenge for anyone who wants it, find something, anything that CR himself, with his own greasy mitts, has drawn, painted, written that has real artistic merit that wasn't done by one of his employees.

Codezombie posted:Word from the Herd is the pay at Foundry 42 is not that great, or at least its nothing to write home about. Thats £67,088 exactly. Not sure what a graphics coder would get these days but about 10 years ago it was more like £30-35k, highest I ever heard for similar work was £48k but that guy had awesomely specific qualifications that defied belief. It certainly doesn't sound very industry average to me, but I'm way out of date on that stuff nowadays.

Codezombie posted:In the post where it was mentioned, the poster did'nt think it was that great. Maybe the cost of living there is higher perhaps. £67k is a damned decent UK games dev wage. I'm pretty close to 48k myself, so Hell if F42 was paying that sort of salary I'd consider it... I wouldn't blame you at all given the industries historic record for being poo poo at paying fair rates, it does seem high and only those who don't wish to enjoy life turn down good money. Kudos for landing yourself a respectable wage in the industry, when I was training in basically "Babys first code" the pay over a long career looked really crap, so I bowed out and changed direction TheLightPurges posted:85k in Southern California is more like 50-55ish in actual America. theres a reason disco is a grey haired old man and lives roomies. Ah, so I guess it's inclusive of things like medical insurance and all the other odd employee expenses. $55k in British sterling would be £43,407. (Todays exchange rate is £1 = $1.27 apparently)

I'd imagine the CIG version is young man finds a golden ticket in a bowl of gruel, the description is about going to a factory where dreams are made and finding out it's a nightmarish nose first journey up CR's chocolate factory, fraught with dangers and Oompa Loompas who call themselves the 'Evocati'. CR's theme. Oompa loompa thumbety doo I've got a perfect game for you Oompa loompa thumbety dee If you are wise you'll hand your wallet to me What do you get when you guzzle down dreams Dreaming as much as a paranoid schizophrenic dreams Where is the patch, getting terribly fat (30gb) What do you think will come of that I don't like the look of it Oompa loompa thumbety da If you're not a greedy manager, you won't go far You won't live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa thumbety do thumbety do Oompa loompa thumbety doo I've got another game for you Oompa loompa thumbeda dee If you are wise you'll hand your wallet to me Cash pledging's fine when you're a whale It stops us from producing and keeps me out of jail But it's hilarious, rivetting and strong pledging and spending all day long The way that a moron does Oompa loompa thumbety da Given your millions I will go far I will live in happiness too Unlike you... what ho! peasants! *low effort, am tired*

I really don't want to read anymore of the brown sea's constant gushing over something that costs millions but still doesn't exist, and probably never will in the way they think it 'should' be, but is his PTSD related in any way to that time he let go of his mommys hand at the supermarket and took longer than expected to reaquire parental contact? I'm probably a million miles off, but these fuckers have a habit of over-emphasising past, present, and future events, most notibly when it comes to generic and nasty knockoffs of video game cliches. Also, why are they doing the "woe is me for I am hosed in the head in some way, hooray for CR to cure my debilitating *insert random mouth hole being larger than rear end in a top hat issue/pedophillia here* and grant me this magical non-existant 90's throwback of digital stupidity, huzzah"? I thought that was BL's 'go to' chat up line.

Chin posted:Yeah you seem like a terrible, clueless person. Nope, I just dont care War as everyone knows is an incredibly destructive and conflictive force that kills people and makes people kill others, that is the very meaning of it, if you sign up for military service then you are allowing yourself the possibility of being put in situations that may disturb you for life. It's not like I don't feel any sympathy for those who experience it and suffer the aftermath, but when used as an excuse to overpraise mediocrity then I take it with a pinch of salt as it obviously would skew the persons view on extreme good/extreme bad quite broadly.Basically, someone who experiences a massive life changing low in life is going to view even the tiniest gain with much more excitment than a 'level headed' person. Good on him for feeling better, but personally I think people like him need proper care and not a bunch of spergs doing the internet friends thing, that can turn very quickly and then what will happen?

The Titanic posted:I don't want to get too in depth here because my opinion may not be too popular. But I feel like lesbian is easier for a guy to take in entertainment than it is in real life. Fake relationships are also easy, and guys tend to enjoy two girls going at it like crazy. But if you go beyond "making the beast with two clits" there is a nice drop off of acceptance, understanding, and compassion. The amount of "I'm just experimenting" and "I'm doing it to make my ___ jealous." Is a lot too, and that can be rather heartbreaking at times as well. But that's another topic for another time with lots of tears and drinks! Definitely not for the Star Citizen thread of successful game management techniques! I hope is reading this and feeling strange that they have no idea what you are talking about and it's scary for them

XK posted:He really likes that threat about having some kind of power he has to restrain so as to not violate constitutional rights. An actual FED with actual power to do anything against someone on an online message board would have just up and done it, rather than running his mouth. I'm betting he's either unemployed and claiming money to eat from the gov or just one of those really short blokes with a Napoleon complex, or even a combination of the two. If you can read this Gremlich, get your moms nipple out of your mouth and do something about it.

I believe in order to judge the level of mental insanity required we would have to consult the 'Gremlich chart' of online retardation, that guy registers a factor of at least 9.5 Gremliches. It's always loving 'registers' in one way or another with citizens isn't it?
