That's what happens when you have biased random pubbies as moderators instead of people who actually work for the company and aren't loving insane, though with CIG that's going to be a hard ask.

When the real employees were posting after the escapist article about how they loved working at CIG, more than one had the story that they started as a backer and then got their dream job. There are more people than just Lesnick that are true believers in The Dream over there.

Seraph, seriously man, it's not as bad as all that. All goonery aside, lemme give you some Real Talk for a minute:

I know you feel like everything is falling apart and your $8000 is vanishing like smoke in the wind, but it's gonna be okay. You just need to tackle this one step at a time:

1. Get up from the computer and stretch for a minute. Roll your neck around, arch your back, etc.
2. Go to the window and open it up. Whether it's warm or cold where you live, fresh air will make you feel a lot better.
3. Lean out the window, take a few deep breaths, and realize that life goes on. As long a your bitcoin investments are solid, the $8000 is small change!
4. Jump.

Sunk-cost fallacy. 8 out of 10 fools opening a small business will fail catastrophically for the same reason, and most of them will be financially ruined after one or two such attempts.

If they're lucky, these cretins will crawl back to their miserable corporate chain jobs with their heads hung low and their tail between their legs, while those of us sharp enough to see how rigged the game is will continue making fortunes bending and/or breaking the rules, which no true capitalist respects. And if they're unlucky? If they can't support their family or worse can't even get laid? Well folks, there's a reason the next mass-shooting is always just around the corner.

Also, we outlaws get to facefuck your hot daughters in their late teens - when the pussyfruit is ripest - because we are cool and dangerous and athletic. How does that make you feel?

quoting for ban and because "when the pussyfruit is ripest" is one of the best/worst things i've read in a while

True but I suspect the majority of the CIG staff are actually sane people, the problem is the publicly visible people are all fanatics

Just a reminder that the showstopping bug that they is hanging up the FPS module is literally that they can't control where the player aims, and they don't know why.

I bet that's a consequence of Chrobert insisting 1st and 3rd person animations are the same. Like his idea that the ships need to have functional thrusters made the flying rear end and some ships needed to be redesigned. Self inflicted problems.

A lot of people seem to be commenting on the Doom 3 similarities, but honestly, what strikes me is that the cinematography in this trailer for a $90 million megaproject is lacking compared to trailers for six year old Half-Life 2 mods that were made on a budget of half-fulfilled promises of beer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOh3xYPrYF8

Maybe this is comparing Apples and Oranges, I dunno, but watching both trailers I can certainly tell you which one grabs my attention better.

No it's pretty jarring. You have one trailer made by professionals, and the other made by a bunch of shithead kids that are talentless hacks.

It is apples to oranges imo. Also, I pretty much expect the Sq42 reveal trailer we will see today to be extremely polished. They have put a LOT of resources into it after all.

It is true that the CIG forums give reddit a serious run for its money as the worst gathering of people on the whole internet.

But then you realize reddit has its own star citizen forum, which is exactly the same, but only worse.
