When I donated pledged, my money went towards game development!

Must've been some other backer(s) who didn't care where his money went. I know that CIG is using MY money properly!

Even that is bollocks. Foundry42, Gemini42 and many other 42 references, pre-date Squadron 42 in specifically that premise.

And if you read carefully what he stated "Life, the Universe and Everything", that's precisely Sandi's "spiritual mindset" as to the number being "her" lucky number. Chris, on the other hand, is just an idiot. And a very bad liar.

Whether she appropriated it and made it her own, is irrelevant. After all, we're talking about the woman who has been the best marketing person since childhood; and who has been "playing" video games for many years.

D_Smart posted:

Oh yeah, because they somehow loving invented it. Grow up.

What difference is there between "it was inspired on THHGTTG" and "Sandi loes 42 because she loved the premise of THHGTTG"? This is the oddest hill to die on, Derek.

Because they were told to think that by Chris, and gazing away from their 17" CRT monitor to their dusty games shelf with cereal box sized copies of Wing Commander confirmed it to them. There have been no PC games since the 90s to these people.

Modern PC gaming is pretty great actually but it probably wouldn't seem like it if your taste in PC gaming was a binary "is this game the one game i was ever able to connect with on a visceral level even though in hindsight it wasn't really a great game"

For the low price of $7000 you can remove the hassle and time of the 'owning a good couch' period from owning a good couch and skip directly to the 'it's time to get a new couch to replace this heap of poo poo' part of owning a good couch

Yes - that's a perfectly reasonable analysis. But what can I say? We can only assume that she appropriated it, then used it as if she, in her bubble, would be the only one to know the meaning of the number 42. You know, like how she never - in her wildest dreams - realize that all the lies she's been telling since day one would come out, she'd get caught and she'd be derided.

Point us to Sandi using 42 or referencing THHGTTG at any point in any of her poo poo before it was used by CIG or show us on what you are basing this poo poo. Yeah, it could be true but unless you present anything other than you saying so the same could be said about Chris or Ben. The simplest explanation is that they were appropriating another piece of geek lore like they did with all the rest.

I'm honestly more interested in what the guys actually working on the "game" think. You've got talented artists and developers busting their asses for a moron that throws out what they make because reasons. Then you've got a fat piece of poo poo, his turd of a wife, and Smug Santa there literally destroying an expensive couch while they watch a movie, and it's okay because they're streaming them watching the movie. :rolleyes:
