The Star Citizen Thread v9

"Yeah, but Chris has been watching videos..." — The perfect euphemism for Star Citizen's feature creep.

I don't know if it's even a euphemism or if it's just a very succinct complete history of the project. It would probably be trivial to directly tie every specific appearance of and promise by Chris to whatever new and fancy thing was showing in trailers and films at any given moment over the last decade.
 
It almost seemed like it was an in joke that Chris had watched something and now they were considering it.

I guess FOIP moves into BOIP and we have Beard Over IP.
 
Well, that's the breaks with such publicly available schedule. Without big in-depth understanding what actually each label means it is hard to extract any understanding about what 100% means...in this case does it mean first version of code is in? Workable version is in? Bug free version is in?

Posting technical terms that can be confusing isnt really an issue. That the communication between CiG and backers is so utterly broken that clarification is impossible is. If both sides would actually talk to each other confusion could be cleared up quickly and we wouldnt have 20 different versions of the same thing. But thats not whats happening. And obviously clarity is the last priority of CiG when confusion and run-away hype/dreams rack in more money.

As expected, schedule really doesn't help people looking for clarity, but it serves CIG and it's supporters to point out 'see, we make progress'. In that sense, video and user testimonies are a bit reliable, although they are also highly subjective.
 
Ask and ye shall receive...

I wish I could fly to a different star but I can’t,
You can,
I can’t!
I wish I could see what folks see in me but I can’t,
You can,
I can’t!
Look, Lorville,
Yes?
Nothing that you can say
Will change how I code today:
I know that we’ll never launch;
Now hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.
Thank you.

I wish that I had persistance and loops but I don’t,
You don’t?
I don’t!
I often pretend my flight model works but it won’t,
It will
It won’t!
Look, Lorville,
Yes?
Now that I’m here with you,
There’s nothing that you can do,
So why don’t you make a start
And hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.
Ahhh…

So does this mean although I’m naff
with net code made of rags,
They want to give me money,
To spend on new handbags?
Well, They’ll always be there, Lorville!

The other games laugh and say that I’m daft and I am,
You’re not!
I am!
They think I'm a sham and call me the scam that I am,
You’re not!
I am!
Look, Lorville?
Yes?
Nothing that you can say
Will change how I code today:
I know that we’ll never launch;
Now hear what I’m saying, Lorville?

Yes?
Who are your very best friends?
Whales are.
I’m gonna help you milk your broken game.


Thank you. ‘Cos I’ve got a broken game, haven’t I?
Yes, I know, but I’m going to help you milk it.
You, you will do it, won’t you. You’ll help me?
Of course.
‘Cos you love bags, don’t you?
We all love handbags, Lorville.
How, how, how much do you love handbags?
Ooh… this much!
As much as that?
Yeah.
Ahhh… my broken game...

Also: RIP Keith Harris... :(

Ookay, now I just need someone to do a FOIP in the PTU/PU and sing this song.
