The window is shifting on the coverage a bit:

quote:

Again, this is a far cry from Roberts’ ambitious pitch, which wants to give players the freedom to—for example—start on a planet, board a ship, fly anywhere in the galaxy, invade another ship, and pilot it to another planet. All of this would happen in a persistent world, with other players, and rendered with the powerful CryEngine, which in the right hands makes for some beautiful games. It’s a very tempting pitch, which is why more than a million people backed the game so far. Some of these people have invested so much money in the game, it sounds irresponsible. For example, PC Gamer recently talked to a player who already spent $30,000 on Star Citizen’s in-game ships.

And all this while multiple, anonymous ex-Cloud Imperium employees have said that the game's budget was mishandled, that employees are mistreated, and that Star Citizen is basically doomed. Roberts has refuted each of these claims, and this recent update supports his claims.

I wouldn’t bet $30,000 on it. Frankly, I don’t see why I’d add even a single dollar to a pile of $100 million for a game that doesn’t exist. The whole project could still go up in flames before it’s finished, but there’s no denying Roberts and his team are making progress. Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 is just a small step forward, but it’s something.

Lol ok

The only condition Ben has is lack of self control

Also is it really shaming if he doesn't give a gently caress and just keeps eating things by the pallet

Also I'm sure that his wife is a fat gently caress too doesn't help if neither of them want to change and they just keep eating until they hopefully die (before star citizen releases so they can cry while feeling the tight grip of deaths bony hand around their hearts knowing they never got to experience Chris roberts epic space game)

The r/starcitizen subreddit allows users to set any citizen flair, so it's not indicative of funding.

Shame those backers will never get to live their Firefly fantasy because multiscrew will always be inherently poo poo compared to having another fighter. Unless you give the ship an OP win button cannon like the Liberator in PS2 that flat out requires another person to operate.

Instead they'll get owned on the landing pad by packs of organized "greifers" and cry a lot on reddit. :getin:

Glandular conditions are like 5% of obesity cases (because glandular conditions, unless really severe or rare, make you overweight, not obese). As much as people want to bitch and whine 'it's a medical condition!' The data says otherwise. Obesity rates have increased exponentially since the 1980s. Rates of glandular conditions have not.

Even in glandular conditions, it's calories in, calories out. This extra weight doesn't magically come from the sky. And that's some serious loving edema if someone says it's water weight.

For glandular conditions, it is just that your body stores more of the calories you eat than you burn, so you gain more weight than someone who ate the same amount of calories. Glandular conditions can also be managed. Not that I am saying it is easy.

It's eating and self control. The lack of personal responsibility these days is loving mind boggling.

Watching the rage when that happens is goddamned funny. My favorites so far have all involved the little water closet in the Constellation. You can easily hide in there and then sneak out. Make sure you show up after they get out of the seat. I think pilots are invincible right now.
