It can't be him I don't think. Seraph has in the past claimed to live in NYC and that kind of firepower is super-illegal there.


hmm... I suspect that maybe Seraph has been less than honest with the way he has portrayed himself on the internet.

After mullling the problem over a bit, I can only conclude those guys must be addicted to video games. What they think is ennui is just their brain getting numb from their latest fix, so they need a new one. The games "feel stale" for them because after playing games for so long, their brains simply stopped releasing that weird happyness drug (I forgot what it was called) endorphines. If they want to have fun playing games again, they actually would need to stop playing for a while.

Star Citizen is of course the perfect drug for them, since they can't play it. So it will always be the hope which keeps them addicted. If it ever comes out, even a perfect game would leave them strangely bored after two weeks. Of course it always will the game's fault, never the junkie's.

Edit:

gently caress. I literally remembered right after clicking "submit". :mad:

And you unfortunately still got it wrong. Endorphins are primarily pain-killers, what you're thinking of is dopamine, which is the primary neurochemcial (although not sole neurochemical) that governs the reward system feedback loop.

12 Cognitive biases vs the Star Citizen cult


Confirmation Bias - only visit websites that express our...opinions, and why we mostly hang around people who hold similar views and tastes.
Totally not reddit.

Ingroup Bias - forge tighter bonds with people in our ingroup, performs the exact opposite function for those on the outside — it makes us suspicious, fearful, and even disdainful of others.
Again, totally not reddit. No way that they would accuse everyone of being a DS alt. Nope.

Gambler's Fallacy - put a tremendous amount of weight on previous events, believing that they'll somehow influence future outcomes.
Chris Roberts made Wing Commander, this will definitely be just as good, if not better!

Post-Purchase Rationalization - a kind of built-in mechanism that makes us feel better after we make crappy decisions, especially at the cash register. Also known as Buyer's Stockholm Syndrome, it's a way of subconsciously justifying our purchases — especially expensive ones.
Dropping $1000k+ on a video game.

Neglecting Probability - our inability to properly grasp a proper sense of peril and risk.
This game is too big to fail and they said they have a reserve fund!

Observational Selection Bias - This is that effect of suddenly noticing things we didn't notice that much before — but we wrongly assume that the frequency has increased.
We're getting more and more backers, the game is getting more popular and making more money than at the beginning!

Status-Quo Bias - Part of the perniciousness of this bias is the unwarranted assumption that another choice will be inferior or make things worse.
Elite has planets? A full galaxy? Rovers? It's going to have multicrew and EVA? It still sucks because Star Citizen has fidelity!

Negativity Bias - People tend to pay more attention to bad news — and it's not just because we're morbid. Social scientists theorize that it's on account of our selective attention and that, given the choice, we perceive negative news as being more important or profound.
/r/dereksmart

Bandwagon Effect - Though we're often unconscious of it, we love to go with the flow of the crowd. When the masses start to pick a winner or a favorite, that's when our individualized brains start to shut down and enter into a kind of "groupthink" or hivemind mentality.
Reddit a hivemind? Nah. Ban dissenters from RSI? Must be a DS alt.

Projection Bias - We tend to assume that most people think just like us ... this cognitive shortcoming often leads to a related effect known as the false consensus bias where we tend to believe that people not only think like us, but that they also agree with us; we overestimate how typical and normal we are, and assume that a consensus exists on matters when there may be none.
Most of the world expects this to be the BDSSE, except for the few who want to see it fail. Them and clickbait journalists. The only clickbait journalists are ones we disagree with. The rest are a-ok.

The Current Moment Bias - Most of us would rather experience pleasure in the current moment, while leaving the pain for later.
I tend to think of this more like denial. Only freedom through a refund/chargeback can free the mind.

Anchoring Effect - Also known as the relativity trap, this is the tendency we have to compare and contrast only a limited set of items. ...We tend to fixate on a value or number that in turn gets compared to everything else. The classic example is an item at the store that's on sale; we tend to see (and value) the difference in price, but not the overall price itself.
$600 for a space bus? That's nothing, people spend that much over the course of 6 weekends hanging out with real friends.

She said "You're a paedophile, I heard all about it, it's over!", and Seraph retorted "Paedophile huh? That's an awfully big word for an eleven year old to understand!"
