I'll give X3 a try because I think building up your power over time to build a fleet/merchant empire or whatever is more rewarding than just grinding for the next ship in E:D.

I like litcube's universe as a total conversion, as it has a couple of differently scaled 'threats' that give you something to push against, rather than just unfucking the economy. It does make the stock market slightly less gameable and more like a passive way to dump some cash over a long period of time rather than acting as a day trader in your M4 wankpod.

Vanilla tended to streamline down to me loving around in Teladi space, getting stock market access and gaming the gently caress out of that with time compression. LU tends to force me to engage more with the game and having a side business in 2nd hand M5s

I might have those the wrong way around, because it's been a while. Still a better game than SC.

Helium Rain is a version with the serial numbers filed off that I've enjoyed, but nothing beats a capital ship pagga in X3.

I was way too close to winning last time at 6.4 Million. Let's say that this holiday stream will bring in 750k. That sounds pretty drat low, so unless something goes incredibly "right", I'll have no chance of winning Line of Defense.

Big MoMA’s House was parodic, ludicrous and exclusive.

it took marching powder to keep that thread on track.

So, I take it that I'm the only one interested in the fact that they firmly took the private game servers off the table by the move to Lumberyard? Minor point, but they were already heading to cornercaseville with some of those stretch goals.

The thing that's always bothered me the most in this entire saga has been the Battle of Truth. I marvel at just how much evidence these people need in order to dislodge them from their beliefs. But Star Citizens are just a particularly grating sample of the entire social landscape: All the information in the world and no way to use it.

Open-mindedness and "go-with-it-ness" is (IMO) one of the most important skills a human needs to lead a fulfilling life. Being open-minded requires a monk-like devotion to the art of skepticism, which is really just a form of detachment. The stronger I desire something to be true, the more skeptical I should be about the information, and the more detached I should be from the outcome. Otherwise, I risk deluding myself, and winding up at odds with the way the world is. In this modern information age, where anyone can say anything and sound authoritative, with no time-delay and no curation, the battle for Truth has turned into a hellish nightmare where the subjective nature of reality is opening chasms along social fault lines we didn't even know existed.

I just hope that on the whole, the hardcore Star Citizen fans can take a long look in the mirror and finally realize that even they have blind spots.
