The Star Citizen faithful never stop being funny (to wipe bunnycreep from your mind):

quote:

You do know that the commercial launch is Squadron 42, and it is very much on track for a launch this year.
There's no evidence that Squadron 42 is on any track at all, but CIG said it's almost done so it's true. -someone who "invested" $2250

quote:

Whichever way it swings, both 'sides' of this ridiculous argument are stooping more and more to hyperbole in a desperate attempt to somehow prove themselves more right. Why do you give so many fucks?

How is this any different from any other AAA game development cycle? Practically the only thing blowing this into a disproportional shitfest is that arsewalloping thundercunt Derek who is determined to undermine a direct competitor to his utter train wreck of a game that would make even Spore hang its head in shame.

Let's just agree to the fact that the game will be late. The game won't meet all your expectations (duh). The game will hopefully be fun. And leave it at that.

Meanwhile, the PTU has been a giggle. It's the first time in any game I've been able to fly around in a multicrewed ship with mates, get out and EVA around an abandoned station then jump in and go pew pew some pirates. Had plenty hours of fun on it already (which is more that can be said for anything DS has ever released in his 20 years in the industry, just saying.)
Both sides are being ridiculous, but Derek Smart is the devil. Derek's game and CIG can't possibly be sucking at the same time -someone who paid $180

(sorry Derek)

quote:

I really don't get the hype of No Man's Sky - looks to me like a bland arcade "explore the universe"-game
All these other space games of which there are release- or playable pre-release versions, they're bland and boring. Unlike Star Citizen which is 100% perfect in my mind. -someone who donated 450 bucks

If that bust is "big", I apparently had had sex with a lot of freakishly deformed women. (Of course, this assumes Sandi IS a woman.)

My wife do a lot of sewing (some featured in theatrical/tv production, think PBS) and here is her comment on the subject :

"By modeling standard anything above "A" is big. Ideal models (not cover girls or supermodels, just regular catwalkers) are living clothes hanger wearing size 0 so your demo clothes looks good and are easy to sew and cheap to produce since you do them by hand at first world labor cost in a city studio. The peon in a 3rd world sweatshop will deal with bigger size once the optimised laser cutting and machine sewing steps have been designed for the production model"

Somebody mentioned this hundreds of pages back but I finally saw it myself. Sandi also put in a semi-recent performance on Hulu's "The Mentor". She was a part of an all-female focus group, offering candid feedback on the user-friendliness of the Swagbacks website.

The opening question from the group facilitator: "Have any of you ever used a website that was really confusing and difficult to understand?"

Sandi got one line in: "I'm just completely... confused..."

I got wind of it last night actually. But in between sporting a massive boner from this latest reveal, while resisting the urge to post about it last night, instead of waiting for today (I just did), it has been rough.

Back in Sept when I said she was using backer funds for this poo poo, again, some people chose not to believe it. There is a movie she shot (for some Paris show) using staff and equipment and which I have seen and have access to. It is solid proof of this.

What I love about this is how blissfully unaware they are about how Twitter works (you can be searched despite a block), and that simply being blocked from a feed doesn't give you carte blanche to slander on the internet, or that their lame witticisms behind the doubtful safety of a nick are of such importance. It's so hilariously juvenile.

I'd also love to know exactly what DickWulf is asking in the repeated FOIC requests, since the answer is so very carefully "did not identify a record that would respond to your request". :allears:

To be fair, leasing does actually do away with the issues of scheduled maintenance, and is usually at a loving premium compared with buying a 2 year old porker, bearing in mind that it's difficult to know the year of a car in the US; it's not in the license plate. You don't 'walk away from a lease', either, they're very specific on terms.

Mansions are in a similar vein, but again, there's also the point that it makes it hard to sieze assets *BUT* that's why you build limited liability corporations four deep as a liability shield. I think the renting is vaguely innocuous.
