That's one of the biggest things that bothers me about the fundamental parts of the game. Lets say somehow they pull all this poo poo together, it's still so bland and generic. Theres no theme, no style. Every ship, gun, spacesuit, door, and crate look like they are out of a dozen other sci-fi settings. There's absolutely nothing unique about SC, and not one asset contained in it "pops" visually.

That helmet can easily be categorized under "pop". I bet at least 15 of the widgets in it pop.

Lmao if you think your job has to be quality or have meaning.
Whatevee gets that filthy lucre.
In that regard :gary: has it right.

Double lmao at spending 1-3k per X games.
5 games at that average and you're at that magical 10k number.

You are still a whale, you just got butchered at the port and divided up to make diabetic perfume.

I want to see a bunch of psychologists pick this stuff apart. Like what compels so many people to keep throwing money at something that will clearly never be a reality.

With the decline of religion, other subjects have taken that spot in peoples lives. Games, tv shows, movies, politics, sports.
People are still religious, just not for an actual religion.

As someone completely unfamiliar with game engine physics, how much of the completely insane clipping and interaction issues in Star Citizen are caused by the fact they made all the assets super super small to get a 'big world'?

Significant I would think. Since that requires numbers with a lot of digits on the right side of the decimal point, which computers can have issues with.

We would give the guards a chair to sit in, but it would kill them or launch them into orbit.

You're also neglecting just how deep the coding horrors can go if you have a totally incompetent business-side person controlling the technical reigns.

Tabletop wouldnt satisfy them either. They want to hold power over others through this game and they want it to be a lot of people.

The types that are still this deep in arent likely to be welcomed to any normal tabletop group anyway.

Does quoting count as "engaging"? And also does anyone have the contact info for UEE? It isn't on the wanted poster.

The first instinct is outrage that Chris Roberts might be taking advantage of people’s unattainable dreams, then when you take a closer look at the folks getting fleeced the sympathy wains a bit. They’re more than happy to go along with it, in fact it’s a point of pride how much they’ve spent. I don’t foresee regret or ill feelings on anyone’s part when this thing finally reaches its unsatisfying wet fart of a conclusion.

Much like trump voters, they have long ago solved the cognitive dissonance of syncing their beliefs with reality by just completely separating themselves from reality.

They are living in a beutiful frictionless fantasy world now.

wasnt there a cocktail-mixing minigame for star citizen flight attendants

Only a loving PLEB would let the thirst quenching capabilities of their fleet depend on the built in fluid delivery systems. ENTIRELY INADEQUATE.

That is why I purchased the $2K (presale) (limited edition) DRAUGHTNAUGHT-5000 with BIG GULP payload capacity.

Have they offered their marks yet an opportunity to spend a large amount of money to have their likeness be an NPC at some random location. If not they’re not grifting hard enough

I wanted a game developer given the freedom to push the boundaries beyond what standard game developers were insisting was impossible.

No one believed it was possible to promise this much, deliver so little, and do it all over a timespan now in the decades with funding like this.

We proved them all wrong!
