We should have an experiment. Divide a country in two. Half socialist - half capitalist. #ResistCapitalism

that vid is just a short clip on it. The story is all over. If you haven't done it, it's worth a deep dive.

@ComradeArthur @alexthechick 14 years after paying not even in beta yet. I do not believe I will live long enough to play a V1.0 of Star Citizen. Not hyperbole. I’m only 61 but at the rate they are going they collect money faster than do actual work.

@ZeroTBill The "no man's sky" story is impressive. wild how they saved the game and now, I understand, it's actually good.

@ComradeArthur still astounds me that star citizen is still happening. No Man's Sky was able to fix itself after years of development post-release. I wonder if 5 years after post-release Squadron 42 will be good.

"The gaming community funded Star Citizen since 2012, but they actually funded future gaming technology." Most people who fund future gaming technology expect to be paid for it. "I emptied the 7/11's cash-register. But I consider that it funded these wicked-cool Air Jordans."
Parrot’s World@ParrotGaming69

A reflection on Chris Roberts, Star Citizen, Squadron 42 and Cloud Imperium Gaming (CIG) as people discuss the company passing $1 Billion in crowd funding. The gaming community funded Star Citizen since 2012, but they actually funded future gaming technology. Some examples: 1) Chris Roberts built Star Engine to allow MMO ( CryEngine and even the new UnReal engine has under performed in running MMO games). Star engine allows for seamless transitions without loading screens. 2) New server meshing technology 3) Developing AI that learns from and challenges player. Possibly allowing AI to enable NPC to generate their own missions for players. 4) Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) developed their own intricate mix of performance capture and technical animation department. 5) custom orchestras/ cinematic music. 6) not to mention Squadron 42 development … second stand alone game. Many things are going on at CIG, not just Star Citizen. Let’s assess some other Game developers: Grand Theft Auto VI: Estimated to have cost between $1billion and $2billion to develop and market prior to its release. Genshin Impact: Has cost upwards of $900million to develop and support through frequent, massive updates since 2020. Monopoly Go!: Reportedly cost over $1billion to develop and heavily market in its first few years. What Chris Roberts did was build a gaming company, created the foundation for new technology and then built the game to run off that said new tech. CIG has developed more than just a game. It’s laying the foundation for a new type of gaming. #Squadron42 #StarCitizen @RobertsSpaceInd #Gaming #GameDevelopment #News

Can someone plead explain why so many people still take socialism seriously? It has always failed badly, every single time leading to bitter misery and poverty. No exceptions. Why is it still so popular? Don’t people pay attention in history classes?

Putting the common good over profit is the essence of socialism. Putting profit over people is the essence of capitalism. Without corporate media influence, people choose socialism over capitalism. This is why 6 corporations own 90% of the media to ensure people never wake up.

Grok - "Star Citizen's model is more like selling increasingly expensive digital yachts to fund the next phase of construction on a waterfront development that keeps changing blueprints."

@ComradeArthur It became obvious at least 8 years ago that the game was never actually getting released, anyone who gives them money now is a willing victim.

@spongeworthy2 Every time I get one of those episodes, that's what it feels like. i recall when the defib was installed. I asked, "how will I know it activated" <laughter>, "you'll know."

More fun in this vein of laughs. x.com/ComradeArthur/… Not even counting the VTAC in April. 2 jolts, done. Doc said I shouldn't even have called an ambulance. Just walk in for a checkup the next if you have a jolt or two and no other complications

Well, that was fun. Wed night. Making coffee. SUDDENLY, chest tightness. "That's odd. I never feel chest tightness". That stands out because I hear the question "Have you felt tightness of chest recently" at least a dozen times a year. "So that's what if feels like."

this 46.2% figure includes any Fortune 500 company with at least one immigrant or child of an immigrant among its founders. For example the report counts GE because founder Thomas Edison was the son of an immigrant from Canada. (CN in progress)
