I see the lack of bids has forced the beloved contest-winner-turned-dev to chop a thousand pounds off his ridiculously overpriced, storage-free space heater with custom vinyl stickers you can't get anywhere else (except at any place with a vinyl cutter, like my local library.) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/StarCitizen-Official-Unique-AMD-based-system-TNGS-1st-prize-/161963648949 Looks like Dolvak may get the case of his dreams after all!

I"m breaking my brain trying to figure out the stupid thing CIG is doing that EightAce hinted at. Making the exercise particularly grueling is that where Chris Roberts is concerned, no idea is too dumb, so nothing I come up with can be ruled out. Has anyone asked "Oh Cap'n Mo-Cappin" if the PU will include the ability to have my wingmen use desktop cameras, then put their faces on my screen in a little monitor so I can see them while we talk? It was in the Wing Commander games - make it happen Chris.

Scruffpuff posted:It's "I think that stripper really liked me" syndrome. It's not limited to that necessarily. Bootcha and I argued about it because he was making the same point Fuzzy Modem made: "Well, she was always nice to me." I said "Well YEAH; she was taking your money!" The other part, of course, was "Plus you're a guy, so you're not a threat to her sexist reign as queen bee and/or she thinks she can get away with poo poo because she's female." He didn't want to believe me even after I cited examples of being on the receiving end of mistreatment from other women in my own life. He had to hear it straight from people who had personally been mistreated by her. All friendships can work like that. All working relationships can work like that. People treat each other differently for sometimes weird reasons. It's not just a matter of women being manipulative bitches to get money/food/presents/whatever, though. There are plenty of doormat guys out there throwing themselves at women trying to get their attention, even when the women actively discourage it. I made and lost a lot of guy friends when I was single because they were the classic Internet Nice Guy: "I'm so nice; here, take these presents I thought you might want; now you have to be nice (read: sleep with me) because I was nice to you." That's not how people work. Women aren't vending machines you put kindness into until sex comes out, and no friendship should be exempt from scrutiny.

This is true, why, had Macho Man examined his friendship with one Mr. Hulkster Hogan, he could have seen he was using him to create a bunch of bad guys who would be unbeatable at his expense. Look harder at things in your life thread-mates, it could very well save you from a flurry of devastating suplexes and being friends with bad ladies who are bad

Just got this letter from an alternate reality where Star Citizen is real: "My name is Jeremy Walters. I am 25 years old and I work as a paid intern for a small software development company in Portland. When I first started here my boss told me they played Star Citizen on alternate weekday nights and often on the weekends, and asked me if I would be interested. I thought that was cool; companies that game together stay together, right? Well I couldn't be more wrong. First of all nobody told me that you don't start the game with any ships, so I paid full price for a game and then had to serve as a page on my boss's ship. It's one of these huge capital ship things. They don't even let me on the bridge. Because of server limitations we rarely encounter other players, instead flying around PvE 'hot zones' or something like that. I don't know, I don't think I've ever even had a chance to look out a window. Let me give you an example of a typical play night. We were under attack, and the shields took a pretty good wallop. Something went down in engineering, so my boss called me on the 'com. "Sparky", he said (they call me Sparky, I guess that's what they call all the interns) "go get that aft shield module back up." We have triple redundant shields and I don't think we've ever even sustained hull damage before but they always make me go fix the shields. There's a little box that says "Press USE to fix" and then you open it, and then you have to press USE again to change out a plug. Once, my character got shocked and died because that rear end in a top hat Dan in accounting rerouted the engine through the shield boxes and they didn't let me live that down. This time though I couldn't change the plug; the dialogue said "Need SPARE PLUG". I went down to Storage for a spare part. Then I got a message from The Den, a little bar module with card tables and booze and billiards and stuff. Two of the upper-management types hang out there. I think they're roommates IRL and they drink IRL while drinking in game. They told me to come down ASAP for an EMERGENCY but what they actually wanted was for me to serve them drinks in-game. I explained that the captain needed me to fix the shields but they insisted. One of them - Shirley, I think - is in charge of vacation time at work and she told me if I didn't get her drinks they were going to take away my sick time so I indulged them for a few minutes. Serving drinks in game is a pain. You have to press USE on the booze, then there's a little glass-filling minigame, and then you have to carefully carry the drinks over to the table. I guess this is so that if the ship takes a hit or something you can dramatically spill everything but you sort of waddle like an elephant and it's very slow. When I got there they told me that their order was wrong and erupted in laughter. Then the captain called me again. "Sparky stop screwing around down there, I need those aft shields!" When I got to storage I found Greg from development down there. He was carefully rearranging all of the stock, manually, and I guess it required him to move each supply and box of parts into this big pile. I told him what I needed and he just shrugged at me. "It's probably in the pile", he said. I had to move each item carefully using the 'grabby hands' interface. If you move something too fast or too hard you can break it. When I got to the plug I needed Dan from accounting hit me with a shock probe and I broke the plug all over the nearby wall. We managed to successfully escape the Van-DULL engagement (that's my little joke, get it, dull?) but my boss gave me six demerits which I guess means I have to clean the toilets at work (and in game) for the next week. I hate Star Citizen."

I put up with a couple of bad friendships for a long time primarily because we'd been friends for a long time, and it took something pretty drastic in each case for me to just tell them to gently caress off.

Booblord Zagats posted:Like losing your intercontinental championship because they betrayed you and hit the referee when you were going for the 3 count so they could use the ensuing chaos to beat you with a folding chair? If only it were that awesome. The first one was somebody I'd gone to school with and been friends with for years, and we were gradually drifting apart. I should have just let it go but tried to hang onto the friendship anyway because we'd been friends for so long. Then he started going out with an underage girl, which was well beyond anything I could overlook. The second one was also somebody I'd gone to school with and known for years, and I caught myself not wanting him to tell him stuff going on in my life because he'd always say something mean. He was quite a drama queen. In the end, he who decided a bunch of his self-created problems were my fault and posted as much on Facebook. That was the end of that.
