That's probably a bad deal unless you're just dying to play ED right this second but haven't bought in yet. The expansion is out very soon and will include the base game.

The expansion is $15 off if you own the base game, which is currently $15. You would also get access to a special Cobra which is kinda neat.

By weird coincidence you get a pre-order discount for Horizons of exactly $15/£10 if you have the base game, so it breaks even.

Sounds about right. If you want to include DS since he is technically a goon, it would make that over $350k.

What was the deal with those flowers? That lady bought them in then she and Sandi awkwardly handed them back and forth a while. Was that bit planned? So many questions.

I would assume it was planned. No one just has a bouquet of flowers like that on hand.

So awkward. So many questions.

Thanks for that. No mention at all that they might be in difficulty or how long they've been working with nothing but in editor footage to show for it. If an evil publisher was bankrolling development then a softball preview is pretty standard but you'd think they'd subject a crowdfunded projects to a little more scrutiny.

Pay them no mind. They used to be employees but they're just anonymous hate mongers now.

Kinda like Beer4TheBeerGod used to be a valuable member of the community, but now he's a vicious traitor and "not a good person".

The Something Awful forums are one of the last places where critical discussions about the goings on in the Star Citizen / CIG world have continued without interruption or co-optation. That dissent is festering, skepticism growing, and blasphemies against Chris and Sandi are not only tolerated but (generally) agreed upon here is a source of enormous frustration to those who've successful turned /starcitizen into yet another Brown Sea echo chamber of non-stop high-fiving and self-contragulation and who carpet bomb gaming blogs and articles with more of the same.

Spergs are in non-stop tug-of-war with skeptics over Narrative control. Essential to preserving their Self-Narratives are notions like:

Time will tell which Narrative ultimately proves the most true, but in the shorter term, it's extremely discomfiting to them to know that not everyone holds those "truths" to be self-evident, and some even believe them laughably outrageous falsehoods.

So basically this:

oh man that script drop and making his employee pick it all up after in an animated gif would be perfect. he basically apologized for it because he realized he was demeaning an employee in front of everyone instead of closed doors. the whole thing was such an eye opener in what actually goes on day to day.

I sent him to a lonely outpost settlement where he wanders around fiddling with the radio and wishing he could tell me that someone has been kidnapped from Arbinathy farm for the 80th time.
