This got removed from kia1 on Reddit for being irrelevant politics so I found my old favorite kia guys!
I don't understand why companies feel the need to comment on this. I'm sure not every employee there agrees. I just want to play my space trucker game, and now I can't ethically consume this product. I've enjoyed flying my starter ship around, but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well more money for uni!
Edit: 17 hours later and no response as to why it got removed form KIA1.
You have noticed the German Cat.
I've already understood the concept but have never had it put into words so succinctly or given a name, like that. Thanks for the read!
Auron MacIntyre is really good at distilling things down in simple terms, although this particular illustration is adapted from Moldbug.
Il have to check him? out more, im starting to notice all this garbage every where now that in in university. I always knew about this stuff but im seeing just how prevalent it really is.
Sounds like bullshit.
Yes, they do. The deep state is very strong and is working in lockstep to consolidate their power. The number of elites is relatively few. There's about 2600 billionaires in the world. That is a tiny number. Barely bigger than the core US federal government (House, Supreme Court, and President + VP), but these elites run multiple countries as well as supranantional organizations like the UN and NATO.
The centralized propaganda apparatus most certainly exists. It is run by unelected robber barons.
Thanks. I’ve never heard of the German cat.
He did put it into words very well. Good read.

KiA1 is now the space for people who were unwilling to accept one part of the leftist narrative, but still wanted to have Evil Right-Wing Reactionaries to point at so that they can prove that they're still good people.
I think it's been over a year since I last browsed. At that point it was almost exclusively posts from B-VOLLEYBALL-READY and Sophia Nawaz twitter links.
tbf It's been like that for a few years now. What's the point in even posting an OP when it has a 95% chance of getting R3'd? Nevermind the fact that videogames, RPGs, Comics, etc. is much too small a focus when every problem we see in those comes from something far greater.
The people still at KIA1 will probably never get to the point where they look beyond mass-media. They're no different from Chris Ray Gun and his ilk in that regard.
KIA1 loved the "ackshually GG was all liberals" because they still found the right wing super icky and didn't want you to associate them with those guys. They loved posting Tranny Narwitz and Milo and other "NotYourShield but is Our Shield" minorities because they still accepted the baseline narrative of the Leftists'.
And like any good Leftist they could only tolerate breaks from the narrative so far, peasants questioning their authority, and actual desire to go beyond tweeting activism. Which is how most people ended up here.
I've quite enjoyed the previous time of spent with it. From a gameplay perspective I don't think it deserves all the scorn it gets. (Although I do believe it does deserve some)
The majority of the scorn is about the development itself. For the amount of money and time they have there should be a full game multiple times over, instead of just something you can spend some time on.
I've heard very little actual criticism of the gameplay itself other than "where is the rest" which is a sign that whatever is there is good without factoring in the rest.
The problem is there is no gaming media.
A proper games media that wasn't corporate bootlickers would explain to people that building core tech from the ground up that literally didn't exist before this game came into development takes a long time.
Just like Gears of War wasn't just built from nothing, it had nearly ten years of lead-time with the original Unreal Engine used for the various Unreal and Unreal Tournament games that preceded it. But no one thinks about the platform and tools required over the course of a decade to make Gears of War a reality, they just think that whenever asset creation started is when game development started.
In short, Star Citizen wanted high-fidelity ground-to-space flight with real-time weather, atmospheric changes, and dynamic flight models depending on whether you were in atmosphere or space. They also wanted a fully persistent MMO environment. The tech for all of that didn't exist at the scale they wanted to do in when development properly got underway in 2014, so they had to build all of that from the ground up (thankfully stuff like global illumination and procedural IK were already implemented into the CryEngine).
It took them several years to finish the planet tech, and the last two big hurdles are persistence (which they're about to start testing soon), and server-meshing (so thousands of players can all occupy the expanding solar systems at the same time).
I get why a lot of people are frustrated that there isn't more there, but a lot of that boils down to not having a proper, informational games media to explain why it takes so long to build, test and iterate some of this technology to scale.
Sadly, there has been so much misinformation and media sabotaging going on, that no amount of informing the general public at this point will ever make a difference. To their credit, what is available to play in Star Citizen runs absolute massive circles around every other AAA game out there right now, despite being buggy and janky.
I quit the the head mod of Kia argued that game of thrones was too mainstream to be nerd culture
These human lefts should introduce gameplay mechanics or a minigame about borting kids IN SPAAAAAAAAACE.
Doom 3 had such gameplay about killing (dead);babies on Mars. I think Dead Space 2 too. Very prog, ahead of its time.
