So after the 99th accusation of being a member, I was promised people float here and had to join. These forums are huge.

Welcome, friend !

Grab a beer and watch the trash fire with us. If you're bored you also got the thread recap and historical drama thread, if you didn't have quite enough yet

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3773270

Those recaps are impressive.

It's all tojal's fault why I'm here, he's an unofficial SA recruiter. Nevertheless, cool to stop lurking and join in from time to time.

Yes there's quite a bit of good stuff and many rabbit holes to go down

Just stay away from D&D

Probably the largest forum I've joined. Many rabbit holes is one way to put it and now that I'm here I feel like I should explore once I go back and catch up on this thread.

Will stay away from D&D.

Welcome back friend! Your decades of deep undercover work is finally over, who knew it would take so long!

Why I still remember the day your assignment started, we were alarmed by this young upstart called Chris Roberts at the age of 13 already marketing and selling his first game and just knew he would one day create the BDSSE only by the truly courageous efforts of you and others have we been able to successfully stop this from happening! I look forward to our other friends vertisce, Sandi G. and the rest one day shedding their covers and coming back home.

It was an exhausting run. tojal still believes it's a lie, so my cover may still be intact.

Welcome!
Also Tojam really does like sexy erotically charged bear porn.
And is as dumb as Vertisce.

Vertisce is something special but I'd be lying if I didn't say that tojal is quite possibly worse. Though they do seem to be cut from the same cloth.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Herald. Gee, strap a large engine on it to steal information yet holy hell it is so slow...

Next thing I will realize how cheap it is versus the other giant ships.

Bought the Herald back at concept. Engine that size? woof, size matters right? Like an excited kid back when I was a cultist I get in my seat ready to launch only to find myself jolting my seat begging to go faster.

Well, according to Clifford-AKA Miku, a loan is good for you.

So really BNB is doing the right thing here, and helping himself to build a stronger credit rating

Clifford-AKA Miku is someone who should never be giving cat advice let alone financial with his $58k(?)

Miku gives me the heebie jeebies.

The problem was players' expectations were so far beyond that. They imagined all this extra stuff.

What is he going on about? Was I following a different game back then?

If he thought NMS had an uproar, buckle in Chris you are in for a bumpy ride.

edit:
Then again, we imagined sandworms. Marketing and all that jazz. Maybe he's on to something after all.

This is probably my favorite line in the list. This one sentence is basically congealed Chris Roberts. He's placed himself firmly in Grand Theft Auto/Call of Duty/Every Mario Game territory. That is what he thinks he is. A guy that nobody today has heard of is going to make a game in a genre that died for a reason, he's going to make it thousands of times worse than any number of first-time indie studios, for hundreds of times the cost, in a "franchise" nobody has ever heard of, and in doing so he's going to instantly place himself amongst the top-selling games of all time because that is who Chris Roberts thinks he is.

Who is buying these loving games? How are they going to escape the scathing reviews? How is the marketing blitz going to communicate how awesome Chris thinks he is to a group of gamers who don't know or care, and turn a completely unknown "IP" into something they give a flying gently caress about? Does CIG think that saying "Hollywood actors" is going to move the needle? How are they going to escape the word of mouth of their insane inept studios and toxic cult once people do see the marketing blitz and start looking this poo poo up?

Never mind all that, he's Chris Roberts, so the loaf he pinches out will automatically make the Best Selling Games of All Time list. This loving guy.

20m on a single platform for a niche game that's already been selling since 2012. Maybe somewhere, but not this planet.

My big takeaway from the chat in this stream is that I'm an idiot for believe it when Chris said this:

Which like... IDK guys maybe "Don't listen to the CEO/Director, he doesn't know what he's talking about" is a weird message. I will say Twerk is pretty level-headed now. I don't remember if he was always this way or not but good for him.

I watched all of that. I'd love to see you and Jorunn on a call. Opposing sides and watch the meltdown in chat unfold.

It was already linked. Comments are fun to read.

Joe B of course makes an appearance.

LOL, I thought this one he'd stay away from since it's Facebook comments.

Not only does he have a Facebook account, it's only Star Citizen content. Why am I not shocked. Normally I could care less about who someone is
but Joe has me beyond curious if it's a paid shrill or some delusional backer drunk on kool-aid.
