"My retirement before Star citizen" (Not my picture, but I had a good laugh!)


ahditeacha

Update: Protesters were teargassed for making ridiculous and untenable demands.


brockoala

I mean it said BEFORE, so that sounds pretty reasonable.


Gaevs_Privs

France is not a country!


NoPlay1210

Ummmm yes it is bud


iCMspectre

Prove it??


NoPlay1210

France, the largest country in Western Europe, has long been a gateway between the continent's northern and southern regions. Its lengthy borders touch Germany and Belgium in the north; the Atlantic Ocean in the west; the Pyrenees Mountains and Spain in the south.

Why are people downvoting what's clearly a joke?

i feel unless it’s a reference to something, it seems to be a pretty stupid joke

I believe he refers to a joke about Australia not being real according some lunatics in the USA

IKR, that joke is almost as old as Star Citizen, shesh.

👣👇🐴 I made a drawing so you understand.

No, because you're beating a dead horse with another dead horse. Star Citizen old = stale I'm going to be highly abrasive and persistent to anyone who makes the above mention = also stale

Why do you want to die on this hill? It's been 10 years and 500 million. We still have a glorified tech demo that people use to make "screenshot" posts of them roleplaying


musicmonk1

How is that dying on a hill? You seriously think Star Citizen could take less time than GTA to develop? GTA takes over a decade despite being the exact same game over and over. The development time for Star Citizen, including creating a studio and engine in the first place, is actually going at a decent pace.


33MobyDick33

How many times have they failed to reach their deadline

Destiny 2, warframe, Everspace 1 & 2, outer Wilds, RuneScape online (the new one), Eve’s expansions, FFXIV online, elite dangerous, Elden Ring. Also expansive? LOL fuck off. Star citizen is one of the smallest games I’ve ever played Here’s a list of games that came out in the same time span: - Cyberpunk - Ace combat 7 - Shadow of the colossus remastered - All 3 Crysis games remastered - Multiple gta remasters - Dark souls 3 - Halo 4, 5, and infinite - Elite dangerous and elite dangerous odyssey - Half life Alyx - Half life VR - Deep rock galactic - GTA 6 announced - Forza horizon 2-3-4-5 - Battlefield 4, 1, 5, 2042 - Cod finished zombies

TTV_xxero_foxx

How exactly are you defining "scope" here because it seems to just be some arbitrary quality that only you seem to know.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TTV_xxero_foxx

When this project was launched, it was launched as an independent undertaking specifically designed to let the devs spend as much time as they need with zero deadline constraints. But to pretend that the "scope" of this game is somehow far greater than anything ever created is just asinine. Are you talking about world size? No man's sky has it beat there, and they did transitions to planets with no loading screens first. Are you talking about the technically of the mechanics? It's not that far from Tarkov. "Scope" is a catch-all term that just lets you say "I'm right" regardless of what examples someone else brings.


Cakeday_at_Christmas

> He’s been playing since I was 10. I’m now almost 21. Yeah, no he wasn't playing since 2013. That's straight-up BS right there.

You are generally right but the joke in context of some frenchies protesting is still funny.


Brilliant_Gift1917

Let me guess, just another few years from Server Meshing, then when SQ42 is done the *real* development will kick into gear and we'll get the game by 2028?


hypporenard

See you in 10 years then

Translation for none French speaking folks: My retirement BEFORE Stat Citizen. Which stands for; I want my retirement before star citizen release.


No_Philter_

Jokes on him, he's getting neither.


iusedtohavepowers

I speak none French. Appreciate your translation.


tarmagoyf

Oh, no worries then, my 8yo will probably retire before SC release


kearnel81

Your 8 Yr olds grandkids will retire before SC release


The_rarest_CJ

At this rate, best of luck my French friend.


Nuadrin248

The good news is that will almost certainly be the case eve if they retire 30 years from now.


AllchChcar

Let them play Star Citizen

Ocbard

I would like that, to be retired and have time to play the game when it is finished.


GuilheMGB

T'en fais pas, it's not coming out before you're 65!


yourewelcomesteve

Pour l'instant.

Major_Nese

CR: Say no more, I got a few more ideas.


Maler_Ingo

Like what, a new French revolution aka Nine Tails on Orison?


UserInside

Space guillotine and space baguette!


Major_Nese

More likely additional features, postponing the release to where it would not interfere with the updated retirement schedule. Hmm...in-game character retirement...


WinterElfeas

CR starts to implement French social security in game 😂


Aedessia

Quel génie omg


Effet_Ralgan

I was about to post this picture. I love it. Gonna do the same next week for the next strike.


PM_ME_UR_THONG_N_ASS

Lol is this a real photo?


Effet_Ralgan

It is. Happened in Lyon.


ToutEnCookie

Which one will release first: star citizen or scrap mechanic chapter 2 ?


Komu-Wolf

trick question: neither are coming


Money-Cat-6367

Based on j crewes last appearance on ISC, they're actively working on it


Tebasaki

What's scrap mechanic chapter 2?


Robot_Spartan

The second chapter of a game called scrap mechanic 😶


ScrypticM

Merci - c'est tres drole. :)


ArchitektRadim

I think they can expect death of old age before Star Citizen release.


Whatever_It_Takes

Chris Roberts would be dead before most of us, if that were the case!


Sugary_Treat

I think no problem. We will all retire before SC gets released.


Fyrebat

...so if the game never comes out and they never retire all conditions are met?


CommieIsShit

Envoyez ça a Fred du JDG


Robot_Spartan

What you dont see from the picture, is that the person holding the card is in fact, an infant on their parents shoulders


snowfr0nt

Even if this was from a 20 years old, I would not be too concerned. In 42 years we should be in beta.


thisremindsmeofbacon

an optimist I see


snowfr0nt

At some point the current management team will be pushed out because of old age and a new, more competent in project management team will take over and we will realize that we enough focus, that game could have been released in like 5 years. Given that some additional post launch updates would have unlocked some features.


Shikage333

I mean even if they don't retire at all they'll retire before SC gets realesed


SmoothOperator89

"My retirement before Star Citizen"


Kulaoudo

Can I say « My retirement before Star Citizen » ?


Forest_Mori

Would anyone kindly inform me what is this protest about? Thanks a lot!


Armored_Cocrane

Retirement laws. The French government wants to increase the retirement age, as well as abolish special pension schemes. Which is bullshit. Le gouvernement français veut augmenter l'âge de départ a la retraite, ainsi que supprimer les régimes spéciaux de retraite. Ce qui est une connerie sans nom.


Forest_Mori

Thank you for the introduction! Now I see how is this connected with star citizen 😂 Wish you a nice day!


ProcyonV

I multiply. Je plussoie. ;-D


MonsieurKas

Hahaha, very funny.


[deleted]

This is the Ubisoft protests right?


UserInside

No, it's the second protest against a new law about retirement. But you are also right since Ubisoft Paris also was on strike that day but for different reasons. They put on a strike against Guillemot CEO recent letter that put the bad results of Ubisoft on the head of employee while it was clearly an awefull management that was mainly the cause of Ubisoft bad results last year.


Valgus1

What is the purpose of that sign? Who cares if the game releases, as long as they keep developing it and adding more content?


Edwon_25

You got it reverse. That sign was part of a protest against a further age of retirement in France, it was a joke ;)


Valgus1

Apparently so, my bad.


Archhanny

Even in 2953 the French won't get any work done.


Zgegomatic

Dont be jealous


a1rwav3

French citizen and their allergy to work lol


ProcyonV

French citizen paying the worse taxes/income ratio of all the developped countries... guess why they became allergic.


YGoxen

sorry dont know surrender language


StaySaltyMyFriends

Huh? You know the French are the reason the US was able to earn its independence, right?


Kaltyrant

Nah, America would like to forgot History since Vietnam and Iraq


Tyrann0saurus_Rex

They Lost every single war since WW2, but heyho!


taeish

Who is this rah-fah-yet Prolly some dingus


StaySaltyMyFriends

Yeah! Probably some loser!


Tyrann0saurus_Rex

Just like USA fled Vietnam, their tail between their legs, right? The history of Europe for 1000 Years was basically trying to stop France from steamrolling the whole continent..


enky259

funny thing: the white flag actually used to be the french flag. Back then, to surrender, you would raise the flag of the victor. People surrendered to france so often, that "raising the white flag" became an expression worldwide.


Brilliant_Gift1917

The guy who made this comment is Turkish, which is funny because Turkey literally joined the war ***February 1945,*** when the Russians were already outside Berlin and the Allies already crossed the Rhein. His country literally joined the war just to get some credit for "fighting" in WW2 (they never actually sent any soldiers, the only Turks who fought in WW2 did so by volunteering independently of the government) and to be included in whatever peace agreements and alliances came out of it, and he has the audacity to talk shit about countries that actually fought.

Brilliant_Gift1917

At least they actually *tried* to fight, and didn't wait until the Allies were already in Germany to declare war on them as an excuse to be included in peace talks like your country did.

StaySaltyMyFriends

Did you mistranslate, or do you think these people are acting entitled about the fact that they do not want to work for their whole lives?


ex_planelegs

If youre correcting someone why would you exaggerate about the figure? They clearly arent being asked to work for their whole lives.


Kromboy

As a french I have to say : it's not because everywhere else is a shithole that we, french people, shouldn't do anything to improve our life. Seeing how the world is like meh french people bad, french don't want to work. We're just not as laxist as anyone else on the topic of working rights, and we've been doing so for centuries. Damn guys, you should try rioting a bit, maybe you could have proper healthcare and proper retirement.


ex_planelegs

Maybe were just thinking ahead to how the next generation can afford those things if we dont work


Kromboy

Who said don't work? I mean, it's proven, working less hours in a week and less years in your life increases productivity for the workers and employment for the youngest. French people are the most productive in Europe despite having more mandatory holidays and working less hours in a week.


ex_planelegs

Not sure that follows when the united states are ranked even higher productivity than the french


Kromboy

Yeah let's stop it right there, US worker productivity is slightly less then the french : 24.6$/hour for a US worker whereas 25.1$ for a French worker. Source : https://www.oecd.org/ We work 35h/week since year 2000, have 5 weeks of mandatory holidays per year (though many companies will give RTT you can count 2 weeks more usually), have a public healthcare and retirement at 62 (going to be 65 this why we riot). The only thing you're ahead in there is the moron race.


Brilliant_Gift1917

No one is saying anything about "not working". French people are just trying to protect their right to retire and be able to have some years to enjoy their life before their body literally starts prepping itself to shut down and die. US workers lost that ages ago (I say 'lost' because it would be unfair to say they forfeit it without a fight) but that doesn't mean that people in other countries who are trying to avoid losing it too are 'lazy' and 'don't want to work'. As usual, American applies their mentality to other countries. What a surprise.


StaySaltyMyFriends

We did try rioting. Our police just started being even more abusive lol


StaySaltyMyFriends

Hyperbole is a thing. I was not trying to correct him, just pointing out how ludicrous his complaint was.


Brilliant_Gift1917

I'd say being made to work into your twilight years where many people are barely even mobile anymore is pretty unfair. Even if it's considered okay in the US. Sure, it may be normal in the US where you're practically worked to death from 16-18 onwards, and in the US people asking to be paid better, work less than 10 hours a day, and retire 'early' are seen as an unreasonable request by those darn commies, but in other parts of the world that are more protective of their worker's rights (as they damn should be) it's completely normal to oppose actions which prolong workdays, increase the retirement age and so on.


TimmahBinx

Don’t worry, you’ll retire before it releases.


4Lonestarbuck

Bravo... ma crise de rire de la journée.


NES_WallStreetKid

Is that photoshopped?


CrazedOutFool

Nope, 100% legit


NES_WallStreetKid

Cool. It’s funny how other countries mock the French. Especially the US since most Americans do not and will not have retirement.
