It just keeps getting better and better - now people are designing their life's work, their home, around Star Citizen (for that matter, a video game!). What in the gently caress is wrong with these people?

Since we're laughing, this is an exchange he had in one of the Mechwarrior Online subs I still lurk in last night. He was advertising an MWO meetup and had a bunch of pictures of all the pcs in his bar/rape dungeon, and this guy was like the only one who was genuinely interested.

It's a tool to patch gaps while you're porting, not something you slide into a release to bump your DX version from 11 to 12 like some kind of magical panacea.


They committed to the implementation of Mantle like they committed to the implementation of a ton of poo poo. Have they actually done any of it? You cannot just use "WELL CIG SAID THIS" as evidence here, holy poo poo they lie about everything. The money (if any) from AMD probably just got dumped in the pot to buy expensive furniture in LA.

Please read this. I link it in the vain hope that you actually want to learn what this involves rather than use it for cribbing soundbites to post here.

Occasional vampire queen

There are some traits that seem to be really in common among the true megawhales that I've been trying to classify. I find it really fascinating how they all seem to hit the following points.

0) Every single one is a middle-aged white dude.

1) They think of themselves as successful businessmen.

2) They are almost universally unemployed and unemployable, or at best, underemployed.

3) They spend an enormous amount of time and effort justifying themselves.
3a) Multiple alt accounts to agree with and reinforce their mains
3b) Flashing ludicrously inflated numbers at the drop of a hat
3c) Claiming windfalls (government disability, gifts from friends, insurance settlements, bitcoin flops in their favor) as genius business sense

4) They are tenacious to a frightening degree, willing to do virtually anything to win minor disagreements.
4a) They tend to buy their way into favorable moderation where possible and use it to silence criticism
4b) Doxxing and rallying hordes of admirers to attack their opponents is also common (though to be fair, everyone seems to do this now)
4c) Worst case, leaving a losing argument and returning months later with a permanent grudge

5) Towards the game they are whaling they tend to be sycophantic to a pathetic degree.
5a) Assuming personal relationships with devs
5b) Spending significant amounts on tangential stuff for devs and using it to reinforce 5a
5c) Lots of personal contact and "Visits" to devs that verges on stalker behavior
5d) Absolutely unwilling to voice or listen to any discussion of their chosen game that is not 100% positive
5e) Frequently spotted in the comments sections of news articles about their game, writing long-winded defenses against any perceived slights.

6) None of them actually have the money to support this lifestyle.

7) They exhibit enormous impulse control issues that border on mental illness in other aspects of their lives
7a) Typically manifests as unbelievable creepyness towards women and borderline sexual harassment
7b) Can also be broken business ventures, frequent rage-tirades in forums unrelated to their game
7c) Drug or alcohol abuse, divorce, and sexual abuse histories are also very common.

I use an algorithm based not all on [Property Values Directly] to determine my rents. You can have it if you want, consider it open source! We should totes form some sort of Org or Coalition. I only have a few props but I know some of the big boys that are pretty cool. Of course, I also know some super slummy ones too. Honestly, bad landlords are probably the majority these days. And I know why, it's because they are so jaded by previous lovely tenants. I get it, but it's just not my thing.

Agreed. Also, I think they've reached the saturation point now and they know it. Hence the cash grab type sales. I firmly believe that Q4/15 is the funding Hail Mary. We just have to wait and see.

They'll get another huge boost the month they release the ability to un-melt on your own. Then I guess it's just hanger sales when ships become ready from there on out.


I think the worst thing is the thought of making people play sitting in those chairs.

How do other months this year look by the same measure? Can you plot when CIG will stop making enough money to cover their burn rate?

No, it's not that simple, they made more in October 2015 than they did in October 2014. A lot depends on what they sell and what they do, though I don't think they'll be that keen to sell another space bus. 2.0 is going to complicate things too, they don't have an excuse not to add to it now as they did with AC 1.0.
