Love that high-G architecture.

This feels like an over complication of the joke "This view, on the other hand.."

Because sometimes you want to describe and record the beauty of a potato without being limited by the language! How can one describe the terrace farms with just ~~knot~~ knot knot knot knot knot ~~knot~~

Explanation: when aiming down iron sights, side by side means compensating a little left or right, based on which barrel is shooting. Over-under means aiming once and having 2 shots ready to hit the same location.

Holding an over-under is also easier as it is a single barrel width (perfect handsome) vs the broader handle of the side by side. This makes wielding and aiming the two guns fairly different.

Over-unders are considered preferable for these reasons.

Because they can't hit the sky.

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.

The part on many of the chicken and waffle dishes that say "smothered in chicken and onion gravy"?

Two months ago they released it: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1eo7m5w/the_new_hauling_missions_are_a_ton_of_fun_but/

Why you hate this game is a mystery. It hasn't done anything to you and is working to fulfill the promises it made. But you are acting like a 3 year old child who wants it immediately and fuck the waiting.

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.

"People give them money for a game" as a business model seems to be applied evenly for everyone else except CIG and Star Citizen. They were given money by fans to make a game. It currently is playable and is in active development. You put up an example where the game has similar systems but radically different gameplay. Star Citizen has gameplay, it is a fun activity to play with friends and it has a thriving ecosystem (despite your clearly untrue claim otherwise). You don't play it, only know about it in the abstract, and don't seem to understand game development.

Hating Star Citizen feels less like genuine criticism and more like angry people grasping at a meme.

Seeing is believing and it would sway myself and many more. Until then, it is just another article written based on an unsubstantiated reddit post. And I've seen enough Reddit posts be bullshit to need to see that NDA before believing.

Out west, we have a chicken gravy on the side with an equal measure of syrup.
