Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

“Exclusive?”

$300M well spent if you ask me. FF to 1:42

Funny and mildly disturbing.

My god. $300M. Right there.

I think we and especially you guys should give Chris Roberts a break. He grew up in coding when the processes and realities of game development were very different. For example, back in the 1990s, the screens we played our games on were smaller and very curved. Now they are bigger and totally flat. This can mess up your perspective from a coder’s viewpoint and make different items not line up properly. Programmers growing up now don’t have that problem. But being from back then gives you a lot of historical advantages. So we should wait and see if it gets better.

Also, we should all give him another $200m so that he can make it better. We owe him that much.

OMFG.
I was laughing so hard I had to shut it off at the 3:31 mark. Is the entire video like this?

Someone (besides Roberts) needs to make this into a movie.

You had me going there until I got to the curved screen thing. Well played.

Hahahaha!!

And that guy, I remember Derek posted another video from him… he’s super funny.

Yes. You are correct. I miss the days when I had a 340Mb SCSI drive on a 486 DX 50 mobo and I accidentally broke one of the terminating resistors so that I had to order one from a vendor who charged me the price of a new HDD.

The good old days! :-D

Oh, lord, I remember buying a gigantic secondhand SCSI server drive from a sketchy online vendor and setting it to format overnight. It was so loud it kept my roommate up (I slept great). Never did finish. Sent it back.

oh shit that is comedy gold haahhaahah

A Sunday rant down memory lane. You’ll love this.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

— Carl Sagan.

Monorail!

“Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,

As he landed his crew with care;

Supporting each man on the top of the tide

By a finger entwined in his hair.

"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:

That alone should encourage the crew.

Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:

What I tell you three times is true."

–Lewis Carroll

Emphasis mine.

The on-going fiasco. CCUs are gone

I totally didn’t see that coming :emot-lol:

My take:

Oh dear…
