On a normal tire, every rotation of the axle spins the tire one full rotation so your car moves forward whatever the diameter of the tire per rotation. It's like having your car in low gear, but now it's all the time. That white smoke is your blown head gasket, and that just means it's working.

Wrecked Angle posted:One of the things that is consistently amazing to me about Star Citizen and CIG is how they seem to be massively incompetent at just about everything and yet somehow also running a whale-milking operation almost to perfection. Confidence Scam - Stages of the con - Foundation Work Preparations are made in advance of the game, including the hiring of any assistants required. Approach The victim is contacted. Build-up The victim is given an opportunity to profit from a scheme. The victim's greed is encouraged, such that their rational judgment of the situation might be impaired. Pay-off or Convincer The victim receives a small payout as a demonstration of the scheme's effectiveness. This may be a real amount of money, or faked in some way. In a gambling con, the victim is allowed to win several small bets. In a stock market con, the victim is given fake dividends. The Hurrah A sudden crisis or change of events forces the victim to act immediately. This is the point at which the con succeeds or fails. The In-and-In A conspirator (in on the con, but assumes the role of an interested bystander) puts an amount of money into the same scheme as the victim, to add an appearance of legitimacy to the scheme. This can reassure the victim, and give the con man greater control when the deal has been completed. In addition, some games require a "corroboration" step, particularly those involving a "rare item". This usually includes the use of an accomplice who plays the part of an uninvolved (initially skeptical) third party, who later confirms the claims made by the con man. - Vulnerability to confidence tricks - Confidence tricks exploit typical human characteristics such as greed, dishonesty, vanity, opportunism, lust, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, desperation, and naïvety. As such, there is no consistent profile of a confidence trick victim; the common factor is simply that the victim relies on the good faith of the con artist. Victims of investment scams tend to show an incautious level of greed and gullibility, and many con artists target the elderly, but even alert and educated people may be taken in by other forms of a confidence trick. Accomplices, also known as shills, help manipulate the mark into accepting the perpetrator's plan. In a traditional confidence trick, the mark is led to believe that he will be able to win money or some other prize by doing some task. The accomplices may pretend to be strangers who have benefited from performing the task in the past. (Interestingly here, the "accomplices" are also the marks, as the shills for CIG are duped themselves). Crazypoops fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Jul 21, 2017 |

Hav posted:You know, this CCU stuff could get them into trouble. They're loving around with other people's money here. In any other industry I would say yes, they are going to burn, but the gaming industry gets away with so much poo poo it astounds me. Fraud, Illegal Gambling, Misappropriation. I mean gently caress, pick out any F2P game and you could probably find 4-5 felonies just in the god drat advertisement! How the gently caress every other industry gets regulated the poo poo out of, but the gaming industry which brought in $91 billion dollars last year gets a loving shrug and a pass. This whole loving thing with Crobbles shows that the gaming industry absolutely requires government intervention and regulation. What's happening with CIG is incredibly destructive and will have dire ramifications down the road for anyone involved in the industry. I mean, they already dismantled Crytek. I can only imagine the havoc Crapples has caused to the industry over there. These things don't exist on a island separate from the world. It has a wake that spreads through everything it touches. What if some shitflam man came in and hosed around with ID back in the day, the way shitberts is with Amazon and Cry, where would the industry be now?

Colostomy Bag posted:Welcome. What is your SC story? With our handles I feel like we are long lost brothers. I played the crap out of Everspace, got an old familiar taste for space sims, looked up SC, found Derek's blogs, blogs led me to SA, SA led me to Major Tom YT videos, those led me to E:D, now 400 hours in E:D (probably enough going to take a break until next update. I will leave a negative review at about 1,000 or so hours about how shallow it is though since that is a requirement.) Now confused about why anyone would back SC when E:D pretty much fulfills all desires for space simmining, and still lurking because this thread is more entertaining then the internet. The End.

I don't know how anyone can look at this project and not see it needs to be completely scrapped and redone. Like that low FPS that the game has right now, that's not because they put too much stuff in and need to reduce clutter. These are bare loving scenes. There's something fundamentally wrong with the engine if that is happening right now. They've had 5 years and just loving now they're going to stop the useless videos and actually do some work? Who the gently caress makes a space ship game with the loving cry engine? Why do they have a TV show about what they should be doing instead of making a TV show? Why is a game like 6 seperate games? Why is Sandi the face of the company? I've seen more likeable scorpions. Did they kill Ben? How the gently caress is there not a playable demo for a single player game made in the cry engine yet? How do you gently caress up FPS multiplayer in the cry engine? That's like manslaughtering three small children while trying to learn the guitar. Why make an MMO? Was the ability to be annoyed by 5000 13y olds what was missing from the old Wing Commander games? and

D_Smart posted:Yeah. It's amazing that all of them are now all of a sudden SHOCKED that there is no loving game and that they've been backing an active scam. I have to say, CIG really passes it off AS IF there IS a game though. I almost bought the starter ship because on the site it appears to have working finished content. Then you run the game and it's a poorly optimized CRY mod, but you've already put money into it so you're already into justify purchase mode (if you didn't have your guard up as Then you just keep looping that, and you end up with the most die hard of backers.

Rad Russian posted:Their mocap in-game looks absolutely amazing compared to the poo poo CIG has been putting out after throwing upwards of $40 mil into the mocap studios with A list actors. The untold tens of millions of dollars Croberts has wasted on producing complete garbage is unbelievable. That's because good mocap is highly reliant on the animators to clean it up and improve the timing and motion so it's more readable. Croberts is god so I imagine nobody is allowed to touch that poo poo after he's done pretending he knows how to make movies.
