In a space barn?
Derek was never able to code a Space Rape Barn, which is one of the many reasons he's jealous of SC because they are succeeding where he failed.

If you look at some people who keep their ship-buying habit a secret from their wife and need emergency plans to come up with next months rent, its appearent that to some it is far more...
But those people are not posting in this thread for obvious reasons, so I don't really need to address that.

that is absolutely insane. i am baffled and honestly kind of appalled that people would sink that disposable income and time into a non-product and promises.

Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

Coke jokes aside, it's kinda hard to make the distinction sometimes, especially when the people in question themselves seem incapable of making that distinction in their own lives. Like is it ok to comment on Sandi's acting ability when she's trying to (re-re) launch her career off the back of this Shart Circus? I mean, these people and their broken personalities and it's consequences when they're given a hundred mil are ultimately what makes this whole thing funny.

Think of it like this: everyone at the table is laughing about someone falling on their face because they're clumsy and one of you assholes yells out "YEAH AND SHE'S UGLY TOO" and then when everyone gets quiet is when it's not okay anymore.

I know goons aren't great at the social stuff but god drat this is some basic poo poo.

Also if we weren't allowed to make fun of ability then we wouldn't be allowed to make fun of this entire trainwreck of a development process.

That's always been a huge flaw here as far as I can remember. Comments start out as jokes about trivial aspects of the topic, then slowly grow more bitter and angry, and soon you've got people trying to one-up other people with harsher insults and doing things that clearly step over the line. Then the fun of the thread immediately disappears and we usually have to gas it, since posters' behaviour will continue to be just as bad, if not worse.

You should ask Radium to implement a system where you can rate individual posts and if a certain threshold is hit said post will be hidden and the poster put on probation.

Yeah but you'd have assumed that someone who's wanting to run a "news network" is a student of journalism or at least has a passing interest in it.

Someone dig up that picture of this guy in his stupid bow tie and professional mic interviewing people at CITCON. The guy looks ridiculous but also like he likes to pretend to be an actual journalist rather than some gobshite fanboy.

I'm clearly mistaken, I guess being the target audience for the space news van isn't a sign of self awareness...

I may have been a bit bored at work recently an have marathoned through the whole saga. Incredible. How has this continued so long? Does anyone know the maximum someone could have (or has already) spent on this incredible vapourwear gaming watershed?

Do redditors and others not realise that when you really get down to it, goon involvement in stuff like this is just because it's funny? There's always these conspiracy theories and weird ideas of why goons do anything, but the answer is always just "bored, it was funny"

Believe it or not, many have no clue. Apparently SA is a really tight nit group of fellas following the whims of the Lowtax who has dictated to us all to destroy the Best Videogame Made Ever through corporate espionage, doxxing, and combining arms with the evil Derik Smarts.


Speaking of cult poo poo, why the hell does CR call himself "the chairman" unironically? It's such an odd title in isolation and without any context that isn't Chinar or that one film with Morgan Freeman where a bunch of secret agents are trying to stop Matt Damon from marrying some chick because the chairman is actually "God" and God wants Matt Damon to become president of the US or something.

I guess they intended it to be witty, but it's about as witty as calling yourself "Fuhrer".
