it's like the olympics of deliberately setting the lowest possible expectations and then pre-emptively attacking anyone who isn't convinced by your bullshit lol

Not a single deficency, everything I lack would be completed, all nourishment garnered from my riches of vitamins. I think I could adjust to such a lifestyle. I best write a book so that these things can be realised. You have given me a taste of what could be The Titanic. I am grateful, for I have a dream to acquire, and with it, so shall I be as successful as Chris Roberts in all his possible nutrient furnishings. I'm glad of it.

Khanstant posted:if this video were longer, would this sandworm just be stuck in place, wobbling itself in a little circle? At first it looks like it's going to attack or do... something, but once the camera pans out it seems like the sandworm is just going to go for another wiggle loop, like a little spinning hotdog flopping out of the sand. What an apt metaphor for Star Citizen: the flapping of a paralyzed sandworm.

He must have missed something. Probably all that small talk he was making with the assistant. Green eyes distracts some. Not me. I sat in that dentist chair, vulnerable to his scraping and prodding. All sharp implements to detect flaws. And so recently I had been told there was nothing wrong with my extending bones. Peak Tophat. But “I reach for the mouse to make a forum post” lol if you think they don’t navigate Spectrum using their $900 8-piece HOTAS setup.

Like the only thing that would make sense is that she had a baby but why keep quite about that? Every so often you want to play with the money tree that made you hugely wealthy far beyond your means. But you don't want to get too close to it because video games are dumb and not cool. It's also nice to to remind people how important you are because you don't actually know what being important or being a leader means.

It's a Tristan made out of four Wipeout racing ships. A combination sure to punch above its weight, even before it turns into a giant fist for no reason.

Lammasu posted:Do they still develop concept ships that aren't actually implemented and are just jpegs still or is all the new stuff actual ships? Not only is this ship a totally undeveloped concept, it's another alien race, which means: * New design philosophy for the ship to distinguish it from all the others * New textures * New geometry for a new set of doors/buttons/ramps/screens * New HUD animations * New voice lines for the alert system etc etc etc. Just absolute mountains of technical debt for... another cargo ship. Like, the 15th cargo ship. It's not even a big one- it is basically about the same size as all the other midsize freighters.

The Titanic posted:Every so often you want to play with the money tree that made you hugely wealthy far beyond your means. Maybe she negotiated some kind of bonus where she gets paid a little extra money if she posts about Star Citizen, thus reminding whales of the good times they had years ago when CIG still pretended to give a poo poo about them, and making her sinecure "Board Member" job a little bit more lucrative. I mean, I'm sure she's getting paid at least as much as she did when she was VP in charge of Marketing just to show up to a few meetings a year now, but CIG always provides a way to squeeze a few more dollars into the family account, right? edit: alternately, she "casually" asked someone at CIG about whether the fans had said anything about her conspicuous absence and was told, "Uh, no, actually, nobody's mentioned your name. Let me run a search....yup, nobody at all." That's probably the only thing that would get her posting about Star Citizen again faster than paying her to do it.

Mr.Tophat posted:$371,685,184 Rose to 372M by the time I'm quoting your post. That's without external investments and tax rabates. I believe the investments totalled another 40M. The thread accountant probably knows exactly how much tax credits they received. So, the next milestone is half a billion. They may reach that within a year, which means they're on their way to Theranos levels.

Having all cargo ships be rectangles with shields would also result in Star Citizens' worst nightmare: consistent visual style. Each ship needs to look like they are from a different IP. And they need to punch above their weight class.
