1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright
Mrs Roberts - she was a Star Cit preacher
And she controlled the developers
By using humiliation
The target always seemed to be Beer God
He was a bit keener than the others
When he was quite young
His Cutlass died in Commander Deathmatch
While choking on rando missiles
The fashion of the day
Was bleach out boring greysuits
P. Gabz decided to make some,
But he didn't know to rinse them
So he gooned to Olisar a reekin'
Goon stench filled the spaceport
Mrs Roberts began to chastise
She made him feel like an rear end in a top hat
Two feet small

Oh what a lonely cat

Manley and Citizen
They always stuck together
For they were a bit different than the others
And they were as tight as brothers
Then Scott moved away
Now Citizen
He was a year or four younger
And he really thought he was something
He liked to harass other gamers
Or anyone he found outnumbered.

Alone Derek walks from trolling
Roberts and Sandi they stop him
They took his cred and they taunt him,
Pimp-slap him with a comm-link
Smart lunged forward with his lawsuit
Chris ran all the way home weeping
He gave his knife to his brother and
Said "I think I hurt me"

Oh what a lonely boy

This will be a difficult to implement feature. I mean they need to cater to all sorts of players out there so they can personalise their very own idle animation - must be difficult to come up with something that the stimpire guy might end up liking.

What an unrecognized device
Lesnick devours my pies
Thirty gig patches all night
I don't know what I should do

Indulging a moment of your time
Always the breeder of lies
Backers will believe that it's true...

They take to the stars...

Leaving no pledge in return

Some of these people say that this is the only game they've been playing. But I'm confused as to what exactly they're doing, as it seems all content that's been released in terms of missions and everything can be completed in under an hour. So what exactly are these people doing? Are they just doing the same missions over and over again? Granted 30% of the game is spent on rebooting the game. But once that initial hour has passed...
I was curious enough about this to watch some twitch streams and yes, they just do the same missions over and over.

Sometimes they treat the FPS station like the shittiest, most inconvenient Call of Duty map conceived. Most of the time it's empty, though, which makes sense considering it's one of a dozen or so stations on a sixteen player server. So they run around checking empty corners like the saddest 12 year old pretending he's on Xbox Live.

That SC: The Divorcening thread is great, here's a couple more additions.







Yeah, in Europe we don't discuss $15.000 purchases with our spouses. We come from a more refined culture, you wouldn't understand.




This one got me maddest of all. Motherfucker just trawl garage sales and weekly/monthly second hand book/antique markets, my most expensive purchase was €10 for a 5 volume hardcover nearly mint edition of Les Miserables. If you're patient you can build a huge library over time for a couple hundred bucks. Strolling the markets looking for bargains of all sorts and having lunch after is something that can be turned into a fun, healthy, and cheap family activity.

I don't think the article covers anything this thread doesn't know about but it's funny nonetheless.

The subtitle is "On a marché sur la thune" which is a pun on "On a marché sur la lune" (We walked on the moon)
e: it's funny because thune is slang for money and rhymes with lune

Idk if it's ok to post scans, are they selling in the US at all, or a digital version ?
