If you have to explain why it's okay why you're wearing something, it's not okay at all really.

Hey I value yours too Fuctifino!

<3 I'm just a shitposter to be fair... I haven't contributed anything near the beautiful effort posts and observations that you write. But thanks.

I did think Ben looked like he was going to crash and yet occasionally looked uncomfortable as hell. So I don't discount the possibility that there's some unspoken tension in the room. I actually think Ben might just as easily be wondering "what the hell is Derek going to do next and how does he know what I had for breakfast?"

I've always been really good at naturally reading people's body languages (and have been ever since I was a little girl), and everything about Ben was ringing alarm bells with me. I think he only got his phone out once to check a message (which was probably from Sandi, saying SMILE YOU FAT gently caress) and he attempted a few times to smile after that and look involved, but those fake smiles lasted mere seconds. For most of the stream, he couldn't even bring himself to look at Chris. I really think Ben is waking up to the con and having huge turmoils in his head. I feel sorry for him for the first time since I've followed SC. He's had nothing in his life apart from Chris Roberts, and now I think his illusions about Chris are shattered. He doesn't have much to turn to after the inevitable collapse of CIG so he's stuck.

I remember EightAce mentioning Ben, reminding us to go easy on him as he's having a rough time and is only human etc (too lazy to find the exact quote)... and I think it's because of the reasons I posted. He's woken up in a living nightmare.

Wearing these types of hats is not a problem. The problem is wearing one with a t shirt and loving jeans. I wear one.

Sometimes he drops A bombs, sometimes it whistles like an A bomb coming down and it hits and it's a story about the Gizmondo connection.

He's hyped this one up enough though... whether it's an Extinction Event or not, the thread will continue its glorious ascent.

agreed, I don't think the mention of Ben being in a bad way was was just about his weight, he looked incredibly stressed in that vid and he snapped tensely when interacting with Lando a few times. I don't think he was just bored

HAHA... I love how the watermark is masked by the character in front and a quick over-paint.

Do Getty Images sue people who use their images without permission?

e: Seriously, Gurzi, you are either a magician or Ryan Archer himself. I'm blown away by your image detective skills.

:lesnick: normally checks his phone a lot but that might be explained by the fact he knew Chris Roberts wasn't emailing him.

I listened to the bit about Roberts and the social module. He never said that players would not be allowed to join other hangars. He said that he has no idea when such a thing would be feasible.

Yes.

But I'm also an artist and I work at a site where people can submit their own images and sell to others. So many people try pulling a Ryan Archer and sneaking traced/shopped stuff like that past us. I've gotten pretty good at finding originals.

If you can think of what search term the "artist" likely entered to find the image ("man picking things up", "spilled barrel of fruit", "men in hazmat suits", etc.) you can find it with just Google Image Search a bunch of the time since hacks like this rear end in a top hat rarely put in much more effort than that themselves.

Star Tracers has quickly become my favourite sub-plot of this season of Star Citizen, and a big part of it is enjoying the detective work that you and others have done.
