Aside from that Milgram was a study on obedience to authority figures. Unless the game (that does not exist yet) use voice message from Sandi politely asking you to " Please kill the other players" you cant really use it as an example.

Clearly Bootcha was never a real SC fan in the first place. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the spare  for an account here.

One phrase that I always see posted on reddit and other forums is some variation of "I don't mind Star Citizen being delayed because it means the game will be better when it is released" So this leads me to a question for all those here who are still faithful to THE VISION: When do the delays become too much for you, and what is your temporal line in the sand where you will say "enough is enough, this is too much of a delay"? I assume it will be subjective to every individual, but I am honestly curious as to what is is for each of you. 2019...2020...maybe even 2025? Answer honestly, I promise I won't make fun of you.

doctor iono posted:"We are both addictions counselors in real life" This isn't really that  when you consider that addictions counselors are very often former addicts. Yeah, there are addictions counselors that weren't addicts themselves, but usually if someone is an addictions counselor it means they were an addict at one time. That's not really meant as a knock against them since being a former addict gives them quite a bit of empathy and understanding of what their patients are actually thinking. However, his post here is filled with rationalizations for his behavior, and this kind of compulsive spending is probably something he needs to discuss with his sponsor. It seems like he's still trying to cling to the hope that maybe he's not down a deep dark hole right now, and so therefore it's cool guys he's got it under control.

It started with text files, just now and again after work, to chill out you know? No big deal, everyone did a text file to unwind. Then one day this guy turns up with some html, yeah I tried it, man, it was intense. I needed more after that. Then I guess it's the usual tale, php files, rich text, all the usual. The biggest regret of my life? Moving onto the hard stuff, the image files. I went heavy on the gifs for a while, what a rush, I felt so goddamn animated on those. Then pngs, my wife could see right through me by this point, but it was too late. Now I'm on multiple jpegs a month, my life is ruined, an artifact of what it once was.

JPEG's don't get him high or have negative health consequences so he can pretend it's not a problem. Like I said, he needs to discuss this with his sponsor. Dear god I hope he still has a sponsor and that his sponsor is not his wife. peter gabriel posted:It started with text files, just now and again after work, to chill out you know?

It has been an incredible process though. 2.0 is working exactly as we imagined it, people were getting in there and seeing how Star Citizen works, it’s all coming together. There’s the FPS, there’s the multi crew combat, there’s all sorts of parts everyone’s been waiting for, it’s a great experience for us, we feel good here. Absolute loving visionaries these guys.

ErIog posted:This isn't really that The fact the CIG's coffers are fat with misspent funds-- many from people who don't really earn much, or from addictive personalities caught up in some fever dream mania, from husbands keeping secrets from wives-- it just makes me so mad at Chris and Sandi for enabling and profiting so handsomely from it. Sandi's Citcon speech spoke of CIG's great work as though they were researchers about to introduce the cure for cancer. It framed it in such exalted language and meaning-- when all this is, and all it ever was or will be-- is a company run by narcissists (a 'has been' and a 'never was') who are trying to make a space game. And launch (in Sandi's case) or relaunch (in Chris' case) Hollywood careers that one was evicted from after the other hitched her wagon to his falling star. I keep returning to The Escapist's depiction- particularly CS3's- of a CIG workforce that struggles with feelings of guilt about the reckless spending habits of some of their backers. Yet empathy for these deluded souls stops at the middle management layer of CIG. Chris and Sandi don't lose a wink of sleep worrying about marriages falling apart over misspent family funds-- they think they're making people's dreams come true and consider it a fair exchange if they wear a cleavage baring outfit to dinner when dining with VIP victims of their scam. Sorry for so many  -- I just get pissed off thinking about the wholesale dysfunction profiteering that's behind all this.
