XK: Jul 9, 2001; Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Joystick discussion:

I used a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick back in ~99. My best memories with it were with Need for Speed 3 or 4, can't remember which, but it was the first one they started doing online with.

I turned the force feedback strength as low as possible, so that it gave me feel, but never disrupted my input. The joystick input allowed for precise analog steering, gas, and brakes, yet with rapid left to right movement not possible on a wheel.

I dominated every race so hard, I used to do precision gymnastic tricks off jumps with my car, and still win with half-lap margins.

When Need for Speed was good.

LMAO!!

They seriously are into censoring historic facts that paint CR and his companies in anything less than as the saviour of all things. Why are they so resolute in their stupidity?

Hey CR has hosed up in the past many times, he's likely loving up yet again before your eyes, removing the historic and well documented facts from your boards does not mean it never happened, it just makes you look really incredibly stupid, like holding a wrench across truck battery terminals with bare hands kinda stupid, licking the top of a sulphuric acid container stupid, resting your face on a spinning anglegrinder disk stupid, juggling live grenades after you've pulled the pins stupid, placing your junk into the toothy maw of an angry rabid Doberman then flicking its balls with a horsewhip stupid.

I hope they understand that the main point I'm trying to make is that they are stupid.

I think the main point is your workplace needs better safety policies.

Star Citizen and CR a long (sorry) analogy :

The most luxurious ship in the world, the RMS Titanic is sinking having struck an iceberg on her starboard bow, her bow is now under water up to the bridge and the lower decks are flooding fast, dragging the ill fated vessel to her doom. Captain Smith, a man of reputation and an experienced sailor, runs aft towards the galley, dodging through the crowd of over paying passengers, pausing only for autographs and to "um, er, 3 point oh" away questions of their fate. He finally reaches the galley, catching his breath and giving a cursory glace at the inventory of stores he spies the item he needs to save the ship.

Captain Smith, marches purposefully at an angle to counter the now heavily listing ship, to a fine glass cupboard, the engravings are wonderful. He reaches in and collects a small ornate sherry glass, with his prize secured he now begins to head downwards, into the bowels of the ship where he can work his way forward towards the damage. The lights are flickering as the doomed vessels electric generators and batteries are damaged by the salty brine welling up from the lower decks, he presses on into the gloom, water shin deep to start with but within a few short minutes he finds himself wading knee, then waist, then neck deep in frothy brine.

Finally, he has gone as far as he can, he is directly below the bridge and deep within the ship. Clamping an arm around an overhead freshwater pipe he retrieves the sherry glass from his jacket pocket, dips it into the seawater and then with a grimace and steely determination, turns to make the trip back to the upper promenade. The swim is perilous and long, but finally the water level becomes gradually lower until he see's the picture postcard perfect starry sky above. The over paying passengers see him rise from the service hatch, and gasp.

The Captain has only one final task to complete to save his beloved ship, with one hand over the top of the sherry glass to prevent the liquid from escaping, he strides confidently as far astern as he can, fighting gravity as the angle of the deck becomes ever steeper. He reaches the handrail of the port side promenade, the now silent crowd of passengers watch intently as their savior finishes what he started. In one deft move, Smith lifts his hand from the sherry glass and simultaniously pours the contained saltwater over the side back to whence it came.

The passengers erupt in a cacophony of roaring cheers that shakes and rattles the very deck they are standing on, arms are flung high, smiles abound "He's done it, we're saved!!" they chant almost in unison, eyes bulging, faces reddening, capileries bursting with the screaching effort. Lifting the brave Captain onto their shoulders, they parade him over to the starboard side and place him down, he nods and smiles, then jumps on the jetski which is packed with moneybags he had parked beside the ship and fucks off leaving them all to die while he laughs all the way to the bank. The end.

That's Captain Smith. He was from Stoke on Trent (Etruria), but they initially refused his statue, so it stands just opposite Lichfield cathedral. I have placed a traffic cone on his head, circa 1993. Stoke-on-Trent decided they wanted the statue back when the movie got big, but Lichfield told them to go shove it.

Edit: That's my titanic story.

Thankfully, they're extremely rare in Staffordshire.

Fandred is so loving dumb that it's not even funny. The whole "I'm neutral (I just happen to always be on one side)" thing was pretty pathetic.
