at some point CR will transition and start saying that star citizen will be the funding platform for his actual aerospace ventures, offering low orbit flights in 2019 and then the real culting begins, as level 420 citizens are the only ones aware of the TRUTH... that their low orbit flights will collide with specific sattelites which will send them to alien heaven. wouldn't this make them tax-exempt and crowd-funded? l ron, roll in your grave...

If I was CIG/RSI I'd definitely just step up what they've been doing: pre-rendered or at least heavily scripted footage, followed by a release of what's basically a tech demo... but it's software that runs without crashing, so clearly the game will be finished and great. These idiots are already invested hook, line, and sinker. Just tug that hook.

we can prove you caused damages to our company by attempting to inform consumers of things we didn't want them to figure out on their own to help the consumers, you thereby damaged our profits. we're in america in 2015, corporate profits trump the consumer's best interest. this is gonna be great.

on one hand, ostracizing people for who they associate with and which games they play is reprehensible on the other, from the outside in, the people who play EVE seem to be the absolute worst, particularly goons drat near every goon I met who was chiefly associated with EVE before other things was kind of a piece of poo poo

Maldoror posted:The stupid thing is, a ~$800 Rancilio Silvia with a PID and a ~$300 Rancilio Rocky grinder will make a superior espresso than ANY super automatic, even a $20,000 one. (It just can't handle volume for more than a couple people.) I have a $20 drip pot and a can of Cafe Bustelo powdered espresso, I think I'm good on the $800 coffee machine, much less $22k if I wasn't selling coffee.

"here are my justifications for throwing money at something I should have had enough sense not to... hint, they involve being well-off and willing to write off money which I might as well have burned. that's respectable, right?"

basically it seems to me, the game could come out (though probably not soon), be mediocre to good... and roberts and family still will have pocketed enough money that was "for the game" that you should still be disgusted i mean drat

Iridium posted:ben will not make that realization. it just wont occur. doing so would mean his life's work as a fanboy (literally this is all he's ever really done) would be empty. i thought that was the new american dream, to attach brand loyalty to poo poo and then spend way too much loving money on it instead of doing something constructive look, we have non-existent products to consume, in mass quantities. they're not going to pay for themselves.

I mean, I figured the whole point is that you report that an employee claimed x y and z and you confirmed their employment dont see how that implicates escapist in anything, but im just a plebescrub e: escapist seems pretty borderline to me, supporting gamergate's "ethics in journalism" facade (when it appears to have been about doxxing feminists to ruin their lives because you disagreed with them) calls anything you say into question

Still kinda think that anyone who needs a refund, particularly at this late date, doesn't really deserve one; but hey, whatever, I mostly hope the company/companies fail, not because the backers deserved better... Instead, because the concept that someone broke ground on a new games market that boils down to "spend thousands of dollars to get a huge advantage and/or something noone else can get" is a terrifying precedent.

Hopper posted:Yes, get a nice loose tea. If you go for a flavored variety, make sure it doesn't have too much "aroma" in it. Typically black tea with fruit based flavour tends to have dried fruit chunks and less artificial aroma in it (at least here) than black tea with creamy/toffee/or other non-fruit based flavours. Ironically, my favorite flavoured teais an English caramel type, which has real caramel chunks in it. i prefer yamamotoyama (or stash, before I found a local place for the good poo poo) green tea with some peppermint oil on the bags; i used to drink so much tazo awake/twining irish breakfast that I was getting stains, so I quit. i do need to get some teasticles for loose-leaf brewing, but that's probably after I break down and get an electric kettle.

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:I have to wonder: What does all this say about crowdfunding? Does an unexpectedly successful sales pitch leading to a sudden overabundance of wealth really cause that much damage to a person's ability to remain competent? considering they should have thought of that AT THE TIME because people were basically bringing this point up in regards to how expensive some of the ships were i dont really think kickstarter could really enact safeguards, so hopefully it's more of a cautionary tale and the kind of thing that leads people to think about their kickst-- BWAHAHA, who am I kidding, my new definition of a nerd is someone who throws money at anything that may appeal to their hobbies, particularly nostalgic appeals, without thought. it's kind of a "clearly a lot of these people didn't think about how they spent their money" issue. Noone's perfect in this area, but if it looks like a trap, talks like a trap, and smells like a trap... and you give it your money...

normally i dont enjoy poo poo-stirring, or doing too much of it myself, particularly on the internet but this is some beautiful poo poo right here, i hope there's enough of a kerfuffle that CR or sandi has to mention it at least once if citcon2015 coverage from other sources doesn't have any mention of the dsmart/goon shitstorm, we will have failed to ramp this up.

i managed to get a few dozen troll comments out over the course of half an hour by pretending to be a cultist, as that kind of fervor is acceptable poo poo like "DEREK SMART is so annoying it doesnt matter what he says! who cares if youre right if youre annoying?" and "Im at CitCon, somneone said there would be FREE BEER. When and where will the BEER be FREE?" seems to pass muster. generally just emphasising/capslocking specific themes like the "derek smart conspiracy".

D_Smart posted:I told you guys this project was FUBAR. There you have it. You're welcome. I think even then, as far as SA is concerned, this was mostly preaching to the choir... anyone that's come around since then was trying to keep the dream alive regarding their own "investment". Clearly, those are the hardest to reach.
