They ran a convention with such an overwhelmingly dull presentation with so little content and 99.9% dreams and buttsmoke that I can't complete a new video discussing it.


There is nothing to talk about. I might as well review a 10FTC where Chris just talks nonsense for an hour.


I am flabbergasted and have nothing further to say on the matter.


Take the audio from a video on "How to attain REM/Control Your Dreams" and splice it over the Citizencon presentation.

Two hours of binaural beats followed by subliminal messaging about being the little guy if you don't get on the ship ladder, followed by 'sounds of the abbatoir', then a further two hours of binaural beats.

Just reupload the entirety of the presentation and title it with the following :

"A presentation designed for those suffering difficulty in falling asleep quickly".

There is a urinal cake in the office mensroom at my work that has been worked over for about a week, it has a cleaner cut in it than SC's "Birthday" cake, it's almost perfectly and cleanly halved, I reckon I should reward the worker responsible for having such a fine aim and steady hand? I feel I should really.

CR's toilet must have more piss on the floor than in the porcelain.

Those stick-on letters are notorious for falling off bumpy surfaces.

They could have put a strip of tape over them to secure them but this is clearly better.

Since reddit-bot didn't post a screenshot of the comment I assume it never actually happened. Confirm/Deny?

Citizens making up stories about "even goons" mocking Derek for this one specific thing is kinda sad. It's OK guys, goons mock Derek for all kinds of things over here, join the party. We have cake and Chris got nowhere near it.

$10 for 24 hours of pvp protection for small ships.
$50 for 24 hours of pvp protection for medium ships.
$100 for 24 hours of pvp protection for large ships.

It also prove the game isn't pay to win because bigger ship have more upkeep.

Hahaha-

I mean, er.. looks like a totally legitimate post! Definitely not a post targeted at the middle aged male with a wife and kids who may be thinking “I probably shouldn’t buy this because theres just not much here, and my wife would never understand, and this would lead to a fight...”

The only thing that would be better is another thread about a guy very similar to this except he kept the purchase a secret!

That way you can cover the whole gamut of potential spenders! You know what to do, CIG!

Wait is there some kind of controversy about this?

OSC magically appeared one day dropping 10,000 word posts and Derek couldn't stop talking about how amazing and insightful this one singular guy was while spamming links to his posts for weeks.

I thought the joke all along was how it was obviously Derek.

I think for me the joke is more that it's considered such a huge issue by /r/ds. We get reports any time OSC posts in the refunds subreddit about how it's blatantly a Derek alt and we should ban him, and my answer is always "So what?" because Derek was never banned from /refunds for an infraction, so in terms of the refunds sub he's not "evading" anything. Moreover, subreddit moderators don't have any real way of doing alt-checks other than submitting a message to the admin team and hoping maybe they respond. It's an admin-level problem and I know for a fact OSC has been reported to them multiple times for being a Derek alt, so if they haven't done anything yet :shrug:

They treat it like it's a heinous crime to have an alt account and that's funny to me because half of them shitpost on refunds with alt accounts, like that Evil_Merlin dude.

I think the best part of the Star Citizen Scam finally collapsing is that a large number of nerds will stop psychotically obsessing over Elite Dangerous being THE ENEMY and instead maybe shut up and enjoy the game that delivers on many of Chris Roberts promises.

I'm sure there will always be people that refuse to play it because it dared to exist opposite of Star Citizen and ten years from now at any mention of Elite Dangerous they will scoff and go into a rage filled tirade about "Polygon Tacos" or whatever but I think that will be a small minority.

ED might see a nice boost once thousands of people stop saving themselves for space marriage.

I dunno I'm optimistic at heart so it would be nice to see all the millions of dollars and thousands of players go toward an actual company with a proven product they continue to develop instead of a stammering idiot with a modded Crysis map promising the literal matrix to fools.

If frontier spends 2018 working on gameplay things might get interesting in Elite.
