Hello, I am new to Star Citizen, but it looks like just the kind of modern update to games like Freelancer I would love to play.

NINE HUNDRED loving DOLLARS FOR AN IN-GAME SHIP?

Okay so explain it to me, is this poo poo a shortcut or are they actually restricted so you have to pay 90 real SA forum accounts to get the thing?

I mean, putting aside that it doesn't exist and apparently never will.

Actually if there's an effortpost in the old thread about how the whole thing was supposed to operate, that'd be neat, because it kind of looks to me like even if they were delivering everything as promised it would still be completely goddamn insane.

Most of the white knights are just trolling the "LOLOLOL this doesn't exist" goons because they're too dumb to realize this is basically just games gbs with surprise guest appearances from random reddit star citizen fans and a healthy dose of burgin'. The thread the lololol goons think they're trolling hasn't existed in well over a year when it went on a roadtrip through the forums with a nice, long visit to GBS proper. I don't mean to spoil the fun, but now that I got my refund I'm debating if I should put it towards a grill and want suggestions.

I spent a house payment on a fancy gas grill last year and still do 80% of my grilling on a Weber Kettle. It's a classic for a reason.

Thing you have to understand about this article on the escapist, is that everything from these supposed ‘sources’ (which are completely anonymous btw) are all saying the same exact thing derek smart claimed on his blog, except in the first person, not the third.

So, when CIG is still operating in a few months (which you push forward the BS claim that they can’t afford to do), will you retract this joke of an “article”? This is disgusting, and only reflects on your poor skills as a journalist. I’m embarrassed for Forbes.

I've handled a reasonable amount of defamation work and I've never seen (or written) a demand letter like that. I mean demand letters are common but not whiny five page ones filled with sick burns and then published on the internet. I can't imagine they are going to follow through with this lawsuit but I would love to be wrong.

Pledging and pledging in the widening gyre
The model spaceship cannot hear the modeler;
Things fall apart; the Croberts cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The goon-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of rear admiral packages.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Derek's Blog
Troubles my sight: a waste of fanboy cash;
A shape with pubeless body and the head of a woman,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant Citizens.

The pledge counter drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a journalist's article,
And what rough beast, her hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Something Awful to shitpost?
