Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

gently caress it, just parody the Batman scene where Joker burns his big pile of money and the accountant dude, but replace the money with printouts of spaceship jpegs and have the poo poo case perched on top.

If it goes down further, we should all chip in and buy it, strip the internals and resell them for charity, then upload a video to youtube of the super limited edition case being smashed to pieces and burned.
You guys lack imagination.

Start up a kickstarter to buy it. It's up to the SC community to ensure sure such a venerable artefact as this goes to a good home, it's a piece of PC gaming history after all.

Then you video yourself smashing and burning the case.

Joke immersion breaks when you know that Kickstarters are minimum 28 days, and shitcase is only up for grabs for another 5.

What's kinda hilarious though is jamming the thing on ebay is going to put a final price on the valuation of his "contribution" towards making croberts gazillions of dollars. He probably spent a ton of man hours designing whatever he did, and now he's self valuing his time at a meager £1,750.

At this point I would normally blink and comically rub my eyes like an old comedy silent film actor just to be certain this is actual reality I'm experiencing, but I'm too afraid to be executed and turned into civil meat.

Out of curiosity, what was the ship the PC guy designed, and how many of them would cover the cost for the lovely PC?

Oh, come on - that's a cheap shot. My point was nothing of the sort and you know it.
I just get fed up with "oh there must have been something nefarious going down" reasoning about everything.
It's bull and I call it.

Nobody here understands how game development works, obviously. Nubs.

Sorry if that felt like a cheap shot. It's not that there's a "Sandi smell" attached to Brittany's departure, it's that there's very personal laundry of her's along side it. Stuff that I'm very hesitant to air out for the sake of knocking CIG down a peg.

Which leads to...

I'm not sure how much detail she'd want released.
If I can get in touch with her and get her permission, I'll spill it.

If she agrees to it, that's fine, but be very tactful about what involves her personal life.

Fucking Star Citizen True Believers are passive-aggressive douchebags. Sorry if I have the ability to use my critical thinking skills. I didn't drink the Kool-Aid, motherfuckers.

That's me trying way too hard to fit in here. Please accept me, I need validation. I'm very depressed.

When it comes to how that went down, I really wouldn't want to speak out of turn. There's a level of trust there that I don't want to break.

\-edit-/
Y'know what? I'm not even going to talk about this any further.
If she had wanted this to be aired out, she would have. It's been buried, and I'm not going to be the one holding a shovel.

Ugh, I don't understand how these loving idiots can't see through the stupidity. The fact that they contrive ways to validate their purchases as 'pledges' or the fact that they're 'backers' or how 'immersive' and high 'fidelity' the game is. I have never seen a group of people so completely disconnected with reality, and their use of specific vocabulary is so loving :laffo:.

Does the volume of the music triple every second? I don't know if music was ever addressed in the original Stimpire lore and ultimately fleshed out.
