I don't get mocking the metaverse stuff, the ground floor guys tend to make out with piles of ROI on stupidass shit like this if they cash out. They certainly did in SL and Star Citizen and Crypto and NFT's
That doesn't make their legions of willful imbeciles any less fanatically annoying.

the roadmap to the roadmap to the roadmap has been delayed
You guys don't deserve the roadmaps they gave you.It has become abundantly clear to us that despite our best efforts to communicate the fluidity of development, and how features marked as Tentative should sincerely not be relied upon, the general focus of many of our most passionate players has continued to lead them to interpret anything on the Release View as a promise. We want to acknowledge that not all of you saw it that way; many took our new focus and our words to heart and understood exactly what we tried to convey. But there still remains a very loud contingent of Roadmap watchers who see projections as promises. And their continued noise every time we shift deliverables has become a distraction both internally at CIG and within our community, as well as to prospective Star Citizen fans watching from the sidelines at our Open Development communications.

That whole post behind that link is insanity. But thank the gods ... The following card has been added to the Alpha 3.17 column:
Coffee Shop Vendor
Area 18 is getting a new, interactable coffee shop. The AI will interact with three new usables – Hot drink dispenser, soft drink dispenser, and drinks fridge – to serve the player with a variety of new drinks.

I'm sure the insane people who are committed to playing this are going to enjoy several months of their characters dying due to the new coffee service clipping through the character heads and resulting in instant death.

Or the coffee is made of dark matter, and crumples the game world with its negative energy.

Coffee (caffeine) needs to give a temp buff or literally unplayable.

I am now addicted to Star Citizen drama. Watched a few YouTube videos, apparently they had a Christmas calender going, with some free gifts, some coupons for cheaper ships AND, on Christmas day, a picture of a quadbike that they sell for 30$ with some attached NFT related shenanigans. The mixture of righteous rage and copium huffing is intoxicating. It feels like this particular train-wreck is finally closing in on its final destination.

We're just over three months away from this thread being 10 years old and so I present to you an excerpt from from a recent update on Squadron 42 development:“Specifically for Squadron 42 (Sq42), AI Content revamped the ‘sleep and bed relaxation’ activity started last year, which enables NPCs to realistically pass time in their bunks or sleeping quarters. Now, an NPC will find its bed and enter it before closing the privacy shutters and sleeping until they’re scheduled to do another activity. “We knew early on that, to hit the fidelity we expect for Sq42, we would need to do some R&D on bedsheet deformation. This work is currently underway and, if successful, will allow the AI to deform their sheets when entering, exiting, or sleeping inside them. This is a challenging assignment and expands the complexity of the feature. For example, what happens to the sheets if the AI needs to exit the bed in an emergency?”

What in the actual fuck makes any of that necessary? Like what kind of interaction does an AI need to process when it's not in contact with a PC? Why would you spend processing power (or programming effort for that matter) detailing what happens in the literal sense of "a tree falls in the woods with no one around to hear it" situations, instead of just extrapolating the possibilities of an NPCs environment when a PC actually interacts with it and scripting those?
It's definitely not just the fans of this game that are absolutely insane - it's any designer that thought that kind of thing needed to be approached that way.
Or Chris Roberts is just playing the longest game of performance art we've ever seen.

There is a very long video that explains very well why they keep doing shit like that. Granted, we actually all know that so the video is indeed useless, but since Haem asked... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9x7QppQabk

Holy shit, the bloat in that guy's video is basically a weird parody/tribute to Star Citizen itself. How many times does he say the same fucking thing? "It's very uncertain how much things are uncertain, but if you think about it, you have to be uncertain. Perhaps very uncertain, perhaps not uncertain enough, perhaps too much. If we knew more, we might be less uncertain, but maybe we would be more certain. It's just not very certain. But perhaps it is."

If there ever is a "post-mortem" panel of an actual game as opposed to a bunch of backers standing around a stitched-together corpse screaming "LIFE! I GIVE YOU LIFE!", the post-mortem panel will have to be as long as The Sorrow and the Pity.

It's definitely going to be this one. I can't believe they haven't declared themselves a religion yet so they can go full Scientology.

All the design work has gone into the grifting portion of the product, and that has worked brilliantly.

The hardcore fans on Star Citizen make Jesus seem like a nasty grudge-keeper. There is literally nothing they cannot forgive. They could take the game offline for six months and patch in nothing but more realistic pubic hair for avatars and those people would be like "I've been waiting for that feature, and it's worth the down time."
