I thought it was 9 AM PST, which would be about 2 hours and 40 minutes from now. Then again, it's CIG, so they will probably mess up their own schedule anyway

I really dont get what possible good a giant 30k check could have for cigs stream

You tell them that they are raffling off the 30k (In Game Store credits not refundable) to one of the backers who buys their new concept ship ($500USD no refunds).

It is a brilliant loving marketing move and not from Sandi's airhead.

Yeah, but normally, you get a regular cheque alongside the huge one.
The huge one is just for show.

Entirely possible whoever got it just took the small one.

Then again, this is CIG, so it's also entirely possible Crobblers grabbed it from their hands, took it home, and danced with it for a while, before dumping it at the office.

Dear Mr. Happy Alaskan,

It has come to our attention that you indulge in the kiddy diddling ways.
This is most inconvenient for us.

We therefore, hitherto and thereby kindly request you send us back 1 (one) ginormous cheque we have given you 2 years ago and ask you to never speak to us again. And furthermore.

Kind regards,

There has to be a local bakery that can provide you with some decent bread to put that in between.

Oh agreed, totally. It also would have looked better if I'd shaved the beet and layered it instead of cutting gently caress-huge slices, but tbh I was mostly just in a hurry. On Tuesday and Thursday nights Kelly and I both have class after work until pretty late, so we often have to make do with Publix level stuff. It's a shame, but honestly after spending 13 hours at work and school sometimes you just want "fast" more than you want "better."

Publix has a good bakery. You need to stop buying crap bread. It's bad for Kayak and i know he is getting some of that from you two.

I was looking over that CIG Community twitch link from pages back.

And the thumbnails show an indy company making a space game.



If they had kept the format (Sandi in the background if not missing). And removed Ben's bloated corpse body out of half the frame, it would probably have gotten new backers.

Instead they went with shoving Sandi front and center in her blinklalooza best of butchering air time. Only people interested in watching that poo poo are your existing broken toxic user base.

Well you have to take into account the Star Citizen Reality Distortion Matrix, whereby generally Occam's Razor becomes Roberts's Razor - the most stupid explanation is probably the correct one.

For example this stuff is from a town not far from where I'm from and is awesome.



Some sharp American came by and found the place. And basically bought out the entire supply for years in a contract. So the locals are a little miffed.
(Some rounds are "lost" during production and wind up on the local shelves)
