I hear he's going to do live demo of a VLOOKUP in A1 ($147m) and reference it to Z1000 ("Not enough left, by an Idris").
You're too polite, you're not a REAL gamer!I am offended by your allegation that gamers complain all the time, and wish to complain about it!
GITGUD & buy an Idris!
SC's solution to jagged cliffs in the ATV canyon run clip seems, well, pretty naff. Slabs of prefabbed cliff slapped into the heightmap terrain. Not a very cohesive look.

Network bind a “stretch goal”, huh? Funny how they've come to redefine at least one — possibly all three — of those words.
Also, what's the delay with volumetric fog? I seem to recall that being built into the engine…
I very much doubt that. Had the image been licenced, I think it would conform exactly to the Hello Kitty IP on pain of the owner's displeasure (expressed financially). As things stand, the eye size and positioning, whisker placement and nose colour all differ from the standardised Hello Kitty image.
My supposition is that someone within CIG worked on creating an image they thought had the 'look and feel' of Hello Kitty, but had sufficiently different details that the resemblance wasn't actionable. I suppose it's up to the lawyers whether they were right.
Ooooh, lots of upvotes on this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/66qrlc/cig_your_marketing_is_too_far_ahead_of_itself/
Doesn't matter, the hourly funding tracker says the CIG's marketing is working perfectly.
Here is something I haven't heard much discussion about:
How is CIG even going to deliver the promised 110 hand-crafted fully landable star systems?
It's been 5 years of development yet the first star system is still far from being complete, and there have not been any attempts whatsoever to introduce an proper economy that would support space game activities like trading and mining. This simply isn't possible to deliver within a timespan that isn't completely absurd, and they would probably run out of funding if they actually tried to do this as they promised.
The only option they have with this is to pull their "minimum value product" card for legal immunity and then deliver something that falls very short of their promises, like a few landable systems or 110 star systems where assets are frequently reused and planetary landings are limited to port areas locked behind loading screens and invisible walls. CIG has no option to use procedural generation, as the systems were stated to be hand crafted and thus they have lore for around 60 of their systems that has to be manually put into the game, so procedural generation won't be an option at all for over half of the systems if they decide to use it. Even if the planets were completely procedurally generated, the amount of work going into hand crafted landing sites and settlements would still be enourmous. Also, don't even let me get started on the networking required for 110 systems while the game currently chokes on less than a single one.
In the end, many promises like this will just end up being lies to grab more cash. While CIG may get away with it with their minimum value product and lawyers, the storm will be something unprecedented, since claiming that they couldn't have known about the workload when making the promises and that they are sorry for it just wouldn't work.

Some incredible posts these last 2 pages. Many of them spot on and stated in a mature way making reading them enjoyable. Sad to see that "some" people still fail to see their content and outright dismiss everything in this thread anti-SC but thats again mental maturity at its best. Being able to listen even if its stuff that doesnt conform with your own opinion. I was unable to upvote many of these, thats what this post is for instead of individually naming people just a general GREAT JOB DONE to the community of this thread
BOOM!! Called it! And so the 3.0 "walk back" begins in ernest. By the time it's released, it will be what 2.7 should have been.

What does your heart tell you? By the time 3.0 is out later this year, they won't have even delivered on 1 single system - let alone 110 planets within.
Remember the new Star Citizen referrals (the latest scam) I wrote about yesterday? They are now buying/selling them https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/
It's gone totally pants on head crazy :

2000 referrals at 12 usd a referral is only 24000 usd. If you are trying to win the big contest for the javelin you are best off just buying the completionist package and then buying a javelin in November.(pretty sure they will sell them again if not something better)
