My Grandpa didn't fight in WWII, but he did sneak into the national guard when he was under age. Never really asked him about it and we're a bit estranged now. Happy Memorial Day or whatever. Catte synpe.

Breetai posted:Right back at the beginning of Derek's current clash with SC, people on the forum noticed that he appeared to have the right of it when discussing exactly what the trajectory of the game was, and then about the time when he started making noises in a way that actually got some people to get refunds from CIG, someone noticed that his account from waaaay back in the day was still in operation. He was essentially initially invited to post here for shits and giggles because the prevailing take on the matter was it was deeply funny that one failed developer was taking potshots at another developer who was failing decades later in exactly the same way. Initially it was kinda rocky because Derek hadn't quite grasped the zen of justposting on the SA forums, and he even hosed off in a huff for a while after some personality clashes, but he kept coming back, and a lot of the info he was dropping was clearly accurate and definitely from internal sources. *sniff* *sniff* That was touching. And beautiful. And everything.

After all this is over and done, who do you think will be the next developer to poo poo the bed and cause a subforum to pop into existence? What's Ken Levine doing these days?

My grandfather was a civilian expense auditor for the government. He oversaw the costs of [redacted] and [redacted]. He had security clearance for whatever 2 ranks above top secret is and that's all I know. When I was like 9 years old, a good friend of his was all excited about something. "You will never know the name of the operation but your grandfather made it happen by allowing the budget. You should be proud of him!" And to this day he won't tell me what it was about. Just that it lead to freedom.

He'll never get to catalog the library of DVDs or gigs of data sent because it's beneath his station as the world's only official Wing Commander fanatic.

While Captain B'tak can't stand being ambushed, he'd like to be able to use Q-Ships to ambush attackers. He also doesn't want outlaws to be able to use them.

My maternal grandpa flew planes for the commonwealth allies and shot some nazis up. My paternal grandfather was a chemist so he stayed home in Australia and by all accounts gouged the government for enough during the war that he could open his own pharmacy once it ended. I never met either of them, but my mums dad was an alkie too so I like him best.

A random person tries out Star Citizen for the first time and offers an extensive summary of his first experience with the $114 million, four and a half years in the making, so ahead of the competition only Rockstar might hope to catch up (maybe) Best drat Space Sim Ever.quote:"My first few hours with Star Citizen
