- Comment on Rumor: Star Citizen Developer Had Another Round Of Layoffs After Last Month's CitizenCon 2 days ago:
Lots of other companies are laying folks off. It’s the result of bad decision making after planning like COVID would never stop. CIG is just another tech company.

- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 week ago:
And progress without testing it’s resiliency against malicious actors will not last. As much as we hate Trump being elected and staffing clowns in each position, it will test what has been made so far. Row v. Wade, as we now know, should have been stronger. The Voting Rights Act too. The states that required the law to be fair have pulled back the law and reveal little has changed.
No one likes getting burned but fire is useful for showing us what burns easily and what withstands the heat. We will rebuild stronger and know what works.

Ah, the classic “35 killed” in China. That means way more people died and they are hiding the actual number. China hates the truth.
- Comment on Bluesky Becoming New Social Media Sensation As Millions Of Americans Snub X Over Musk's Support To Trump 2 weeks ago:
Tesla is expected to sell like crazy because they are one of the only EV carmakers to not be hit full force by tariffs. However, given the public reception of Musk, the car brand may see a long term decline as fewer vehicles are purchased in the US and EU for different reasons. Chinese EVs will sink EU and APAC sales and people don’t want to give Elon any of their money if they can help it.
Tesla also doesn’t create any new vehicle models or redesign of their initial line up that was created 12 years ago. He’s coasting on the demand and has no plans for doing anything different. I would expect Tesla to hit hard times after a decade or so.
TL;DR - a small bump in sales followed by a steady fall off before Trump Part Deux is done.

We kept whipping and whipping but the work never seemed to get done. The only excuse they have is that half the team died from exhaustion or suicide, and they aren’t getting severance!

- Comment on How funny, right? 4 weeks ago:
Damn, I just recently learned that my stories about growing up are considered trauma dumps by my partner. It makes sharing stories of getting through childhood something I can’t talk about anymore. It’s hard to talk to people when so much of what forged me was the heat of short tempers.
- Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund 4 weeks ago:
All of the complaints against Star Citizen and CiG are made by folks who don’t understand how games are made AND believe the people who make them, like Randy Pitchford, Peter Molyneux, Emoji Imagine, and others. Game designers talk about all the features that they want and then meet reality and have to pull those features back or cut them from the game.
A publisher traditionally puts limits and deadlines on funding, requiring a developer to meet a criteria to get paid and continue development. The publisher will preview builds and give feedback on game mechanics or broader suggestions for game polish.
Game designers who see success begin to dream big and will eventually pitch an idea that they can’t make because the money or time needed to implement the feature would prohibit the game from releasing in a timely manner. Chris Roberts made all of the Wing Commander series. He has a track record of making games that were so big and full of features that they inevitably see many features missing from the final game. Freelancer is the one everyone thinks of when they think chopped up Chris Roberts game.
Star Citizen has no publisher to guide the veteran game developer. This allows Star Citizen to change game engines 3 times, having to rebuild much of their progress each time. Any why change the game engines? They were forced to because Crytek are bitches who wanted that giant pile of crowdfunding Star Citizen has gathered. Crytek forced the game to stop development - which is a large part of the delay in getting the game to market.
People don’t know or care about the actual reason Star Citizen is still being developed instead of being released years ago. Most of you don’t care, but given the circumstances, no one could do any better.

To add: “almost working” is still “not working” but with extra hope. There’s no easy solution for “almost working” because if there was, the people would have made that easy fix to get it working. No, “almost working” is code for “we fucked around with it a lot and don’t know how to get it working or how to start over.”
- Comment on Votes won’t be counted for Arkansas medical marijuana ballot measure, court says 5 weeks ago:
Desperation by the rapidly dwindling authoritarian party to make people do what the folks in power want. Shame that the courts, with their democratically elected judges for lower circuits, aren’t stuffed full of democratic or progressive thinkers. Maybe this election will show how corrupt and futile it is to do things the authorized way when the authorities keep changing the rules.
Harm the futures of authoritarians.
