a video of a man inserting his money into a trash can and lighting it on fire cut to, a few months later, him doing it again. rinse, repeat ManofManyAliases posted:Nay - a pledge. I pledge to disturb some in this thread and receive praise from others. dude you're not going to come out of this one squeaky clean by acting like everyone ELSE is an idiot and you're just totally above it (because you're cool and mature and intelligent, like your decision to light your money on fire)

I'm kinda confused now. Chris Roberts became very popular in the '80s/'90s, and he "got" Sandi Gardiner. Does this mean it might actually be a teen film montage?

Hobold posted:It is kinda fun, yet sad to look at myself just two years ago, still trying to defend this poo poo show, and the money I pissed into it. It really is enlightening to finally cross that threshold and realize, holy gently caress I was one deluded motherfucker. I took those roofies willingly! I was browsing old threads recently to find some of my old posts and stumbled across some of your old posts. I'll be honest, you and the other folks who eventually clicked are shining examples that some people can eventually see reason and wise up.

orcinus posted:I need more sleep. Honestly, I think that would have been better. Seeing a man pick broken shards of glass out of his rectum is the strangest thing I've really ever seen. It was unnecessary and everyone understood the consequences. It's like a guy filming himself being punched in the balls or touching fire. Everyone knows its dumb, but its funny to see people do it.

GabrielMobius posted:You're not wrong in my case. There was a time when I threw otherwise perfectly good money at crowdfunding a bunch of poo poo, and going in on the extras. I've wised up since then, and haven't touched that poo poo in a year. So far Star Citizen isn't even the biggest disappointment, Pathfinder Online was. Dear god did I feel like a sucker when that 'released'. Yes. On re-reading it, I might have been a tad aggressive. My point is simply this: There's a difference between being suckered out of $whatever and not having it cause any greater economic harm, and being suckered out of $whatever and not caring about being suckered. One is a sad/annoying situation that you can learn from; the other is wilful stupidity. The attempted “disposable income” rationalisation, as it almost universally employed, lands someone firmly in the second camp.

I'll be honest, you and the other folks who eventually clicked are shining examples that some people can eventually see reason and wise up. When the poo poo stain of the AC finally launched, I was really digging it for a bit, then slowly started to realize, somethings fuckey. Then the poo poo hit the fan with del-boy and the Escapist. I was starting to sour on the project when Wingman/Irving/Morlan left, but Pugh getting shitcanned out of the blue was what really turned me against CIG.

My biggest disappointment from that whole thing was loving Jumpshot. I'm about 50/50 now. Hilariously the things I spent the least on did/seem to be doing the best, so some extra goodies for those would have been nice. Pillars of Eternity was great and Crowfall is shaping up to be decent looking, but I'll pay that more attention as a playable build gets closer.

Do you think people care about my Magical Journey to the Something Awfuls? Probably not, and if they did there's a forum for that anyway.

Loxbourne posted:Can you expand on this? Before the thread hosed up and drove him out, Bootcha was talking about CIG trying and failing to use their private investigator to pin their leaks on Travis Day so they could sue him (ironically on the basis that Sandi's terrible treatment of his wife Chelsea had given him a grudge). He said his source had told him that CIG's upper echelons were going all-out, claiming he was orchestrating a huge hate campaign behind the scenes. He pretty much popped into chat, asked them why they hired some rent-a-cop to harass travis, and then was promptly banned  I'd love for ole bootch to come around and explain

One last question, and I'm dead serious...what are your thoughts on the Starliner and the Mixmaster 9000?

Scruffpuff posted:Clarification: "any one of us", not "every one of us". Think of how bitter a pill it is to swallow, that Chris pissed away over $100 million dollars with his ineptitude, on a project that people, to this day, despite years of accumulated evidence to the contrary, still think is "too big to fail?" I would like to proceed with supplying the evidence for my assertion that this could have been "any one of us" to the court at this time. Sarsapariller has kind of passed on into legend. I wonder if they'll ever come back.
