In Robert's eyes, the pile of cash is a resource, a means to create a vision while funding a lifestyle of a Hollywood baller.

In Lesnick's eye, it is a Baked Alaska flambe ready to be eaten.

Tier 1 devs spend time working on their games instead of shitposting incessantly and using pictures to try and trigger others. Nice twitter usage today - you showed a great deal of effort there pal.

In short, another lore week and the community managers are going to PAX South. Can't wait to see the new show coming in the future that focuses on citizens.

So I know its been joked about for some time now, but did they actually fire Ben but he just shows up anyways?

He used to be the Community Manager and Master Of Spergships or whatever, so if that's Lando's job now what does he actually do?

Not that he did anything to begin with

They can't 100% get rid of him without people freaking right the gently caress out. So they trot him out once and awhile to assure the public everything's fine.

I have a one-man act and what happens is I just do a couple of lines of speed, strap some tambourines, cymbals, and poo poo to my extremities and perform unrehearsed until I collapse from exhaustion. The live records are released later on in my youtube channel Recursive Stage Improvisations

What you shitizens don't understand is that Derek made those predictions years ago before the project was expanded with such things as PROCEDURAL BIRDS that the community demanded Chris Roberts add to Star Citizen. As a result, its only reasonable that Derek's prediction would also increase.

You only have the community to blame, its not Derek's Chris' fault!

nah, it's something else. I think it's Post-purchase rationalization but I think there's another more layman-ish term. I always heard it regarding people who bought new cars after they realized that as soon as they drove it off the lot the value dropped significantly.

Buyer's remorse. Different thing again. That is just feeling lovely for spending money. It is because people think buying things makes you happy, get all lovely that they wasted their lives working to go and buy bullshit only to find they didn't get a long enough high from it.

Protip: Buy things you need because you need them. Find fulfillment in everything else.

I heard a cultist say today that he bought into SC specifically because of the sand worm.

So it worked on some amount of idiots. Dozens, maybe. Well worth the effort.
