Serious question guys:

If I buy the Intel SSD do I get Star Citizen or only the ship and I still have to buy Star Citizen?

Do I also get Squad 42 because I hear it has Gillian Anderson in it and I loved her in X Files and I think this is how games really need to be where it’s not how much gameplay you have but how many movie stars you have.

I think 1 movie star should equal at least 5 - 10 different mediocre game systems. Like since they have Luke Skywalker they have gravity, sword melee, capital ship boarding, rebel snow bases, and at least planetary landing.

Haha! I knew it had to exist somewhere. I’ve personally never seen one like this though.


Heh, I have >_>

I spent a good part of the 90's traveling in the US, lots of concerts/festivals/gatherings, hot springs and camping and sunshine... and fixing our broken down van to keep on keepin on. At some point during this escapade, we were in Birmingham Alabama for a few months, rebuilding the Chevy 350 in our step-van (milk truck/UPS van looking thing w/sliding doors and you can stand up in it) we lived/traveled in, which sucked because we just put that loving engine in there after throwing a piston off our crankshaft leaving New Orleans a few months earlier after Mardi Gras, which was a month long saga in itself staying with the Hemp Museum folks (southern chapter of NORML) when they were on South Carrolton St. In Birmingham we also had cool people to stay with where we could do the work (off-street this time!) and there were other cool folks around town we started hanging out and partying with.

One of my new friends knew some good mushroom fields about an hour out of town, and we had already been eating them for a few days so it sounded p rad to go pick some like the natives. Honestly it was a gang of fun, though sketchy cause dude w/the car has to drop you off and do 5-10 mile laps back/forth until your are done. Parking the car there is a bust -cops know exactly what's up and so do the farmers and trespassing is the minimum you'll get and most likely will be much worse. Anyhow, after some amazing high as gently caress cow interactions (they totally know what's up and protect them -for themselves!) we had a nice stash to bring back (bout 20yrs apiece worth if we got caught lol) and went back to the road and luckily our buddy drove by before any farmers or cops did. I call this hippie roulette.


About halfway back I really had to poo poo, like pronto... we were eating raw rear end mushrooms in the field with ranch dressing after just rinsing them off w/our cantines (they grow in cow poo poo) and our filthy hands plus mushies can gently caress w/your gut anyhow and god drat I had to blow a loving seal. I was getting legit worried about losing it in the car which would be a lovely trip, worse than sweating with my sphincter under manual override and at deficon 2. Just in the nick of time we come across a diner in the middle of nowhere and pull in. I blast out of the car to go to the bathroom and go through the front door and man it was a scene like a bad movie about The South but in slow motion/frame by frame psychedelic time dilation. The family that owned/ran the place all crowded at one booth (one leaning on a mop chewing gum) were straight hillbillies and didn't like the look of the freak dude that just burst through their front door desperate for bathroom with a crazed look in his eye so were all staring at me in shock and revulsion and the gum chewer stopped chewing and time stood loving still. The few customers there were staring at me frozen in place cause I really did look like a freak to them plus was high af and mostly concentrating on notshtting.

They all point in unison and I make my way to the bathroom and get in there and it looks just like the loving picture -two normal sit down toilets side by side with no wall between them and would be in full view of anyone standing by the door if it opened. What made it even weirder though was there was a lock on the door too so now my psilocybin addled brain is trying to work out the permutations and implications of this new development. I gave up trying to figure it out and decided not to lock the door and no sooner than I started to explode, one of my buddies comes in with the giggles, gripping his sides with tears and everything telling me about how much poo poo the diner folks were all talking about me by the time he walked in then he stayed in there busting my (rather exposed) balls for most of my throne time. Honestly that part was less awkward than another driveby past the diner folks in my condition, the walk of shame back out was worse than my way in somehow. We laughed our loving asses off so hard after we were out of there and had a safe and hilarious ride back to town and the rest of the trip was magical.

Welp that's my dual shitter story and I still have no idea wtf the lock was for... like once there's two of you in there, then it's awkward if someone comes in?

1. It would definitely be more awkward if you lock the door after somebody else comes in. Bonus points for a seriously toned "I have expected you".

2. Helluva story in general.

How are they possibly ever be able to balance the game for all the Han Solos?

But, the actual big fear is that maybe, just maybe, some of the guys who spent 50 thousand dollars in combat ships may want to, you know, use them. And now they can attack your space-house! gently caress that!

You either make every player feel like they are the Han Solo of the galaxy or... you don't balance anything since your game doesn't have a working economy to begin with.

Who cares, just give em useless game money.

He's got the Goon Fear already. People co-operating.. to achieve stuff... in an MMO?! Not fair! :reddit:

On the other hand if the game ever did release base building is going to suck right of the bat because there would immediately be rush of credit card warriors with pay to win fleets grabbing all the best spots for bases while all the suckers who naively expected to lay out $60 and get a fun game find out they're going to be unloading cargo in their play time.

You know the Star Wars Christmas Special, the legendarily bad television event that has never been shown again, and included such painful, IP-ruining experiences that George Lucas took decades to devise something worse?*

CIG does one of those every. single. year.

Seriously, the CIG holiday livestream is usually the annual high point for awkward, ill-thought-out stupidity. If we have any hope of CIG doing something entertaining with what's left of 2017, that is our last best chance.

Are they for real? I'm not even banned. I have been temp banned there 3 times for going off-topic. Just like everyone else who has. The third time, I opted not to return after the 30 day ban expired because it's just going to end up being the same thing whereby they show up, poo poo up the place, we overreact, and everyone gets temp banned en masse.

It's amazing how they make poo poo up seemingly on-the-fly.

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.

They even mass reported him when he first showed up this past Summer, and managed to get his account temp banned. He apparently contacted Reddit admin, and they reverted it. They've been salty since.

Anyone who isn't in their circle jerk quarantine hug box, and who isn't a known Goon, is apparently Derek Smart. That poo poo never gets old.

What's even more hilarious is that he keeps owning them left and right. That's what makes them even more salty because he's doing it right inside their quarantine zone - without breaking the rules.
