In many ways the ED forums are as bad as the SC ones, this was my avatar there:

A page of those drove people crazy

And this was my sig:

It used to make them really mad for some reason, I had people shouting at me 'AND WHO SAYS IT IS A GOOD POST? A MODERATOR?'

You had both those on pages of otherwise deadly serious avatars of moody commanders and sigs of fantasy ships

this was my favorite shitposting time peter.

They were the best of times my friend, a moderator asked me to change my avatar because it was 'epilepsy inducing' so I changed it to this:

And he was happy with that, the mods were OK there

What's funny is that there have been times in the past where in order to keep up with the thread I've needed to blow past 300+ posts. I'm really glad I didn't miss the last few pages.

But it isn't out now. And from what I've seen of ED's planetary landing... I think I'll just (continue to) wait for Infinity since their recent kickstarter looks more impressive.

hahahaha already moving on to rich new fields of imagination, now that star citizen is succumbing to dull crushing reality!

(for those who don't know infinity is/was a tech demo masquerading as a perpetually in development MMO that had a forum full of insane maniacs doing much the same thing as star shitizens do now: planning what they would do in the game, writing lore, balancing imaginary spaceships and equipment lists, and basically playing let's pretend. But the 3d engine was available for people to play with so some of them would actually spend their time making spaceship models to import into the game, because supposedly it was all gonna be built with user-submitted and user-generated content. It was kinda like a free, open-source star citizen.

I had a friend who was way into that community for a while. I didn't know they did a kickstarter, I should get the deets from him about what their plan to turn that into a real game is.)

I honestly think that gremlins analogy was the best description I ever saw of SA and it will never stop baffling me that the immediate reaction of everyone that gets tangled with goons is feeding us and then pulling the fire hose.

At least that guy recognises that we are individuals, not just an amorphous blog of gooniness. I like him.

I think redditors think we're the ones making the photoshops. They don't realize they're laughing at one of their own demented friends.
