while adding more action, bigger set pieces, and even more darkness (both literal and figurative).

So, I guess it’s safe to say Twitch will actively get worse with nobody there who could hold off all the horrible ideas Amazon has.

No game has cost more to develop than Star Citizen and this game is far from finished. The other games that cost less are you know, finished.

Star Citizen, the original NFT exchange.

I crowd-funded this game with a $60 ship and have the member card sitting in my desk. This game is all grift. I built a custom computer in anticipation of this game, and have refreshed it twice-over since.  I’m not interested in an endless stream of modular content.  I just wanted a good campaign featuring Gary Oldman…

“You can SEE where all the money went.”

Callistos budget probably also includes things like marketing, distribution, licensing fees etc. while SC doesn’t (at least not on the same scale) yet. Callisto also has some rather big actors involved for motion capture and VO, which do cost quite a bit, and I’m not familiar enough with SC to know if they have…

Until there’s actual narrative content, that’s about all you can do. Also, pay lots of real money for ingame items that don’t exist yet.

I did it to relieve my daily frustration and work stress.

Vaporware at its finest, and you all fell for it 

Right? We’ve barely allowed any of his victims time to cope with what’s going on and we’re already expected to give him a pass?

The excuse my friend gives is “It takes a long time to make a game!”

Obviously the only thing that can fix this is more money. Time for RSI to roll out a new lineup of $10,000 JPEGs.

This is why I no longer watch One Piece. The author defended, welcomed back, and advocated for the Ruroni Kenshin author after he, SOMEHOW, was released and only fined $1500 for stacks and stacks and STACKS of child porn found in his apartment.

Fuck that. People like that should be in jail for decades.

Good to see some real consequences this time, we’ll see if it sticks, because for now Japan have been much more draconian to cases of light drug use by a public figure than any other type of abuse no matter how grotesque it was

In this thread we have skeevy pervs defending the skeevy perv.  Fuck off, all of you.

I watched deepfake porn of you, now, how can I help you get over it?
