Charles Get-Out posted:It's always lowkey surprising to be confronted by buying addictions worse than the ones presenting in the Steam thread. I know Citizens and I value virtual spaceships differently, but I don't understand why putting yourself at financial risk for the sake of the Vision is met with congratulatory pats on the back. Spending money is pretty much the only indicator of success these people seem to understand. More money into Star Citizen means more success. If you throw more money into Star Citizen you're clearly someone who is successful too! Then when Star Citizen somehow manages to overcome all its technical and managerial problems and releases to satisfy all their dreams they will be double successful because they'll have the best ships with full insurance forever... forever! Oh and if it doesn't well that's fine because it's all "disposable income" which when used in the concept of throwing thousands of dollars into a money pit is the term that helps you identify a man-child who was either born into money or spends someone else's. I've seen that dribbling failure vortex Lethality mock people who have concerns or issues with the idiotic ship prices as being people who work at McDonalds, and even here MoMA ridiculed Streetroller getting a refund and chided him for not spending his 'allowance' more sensibly. God only knows why they seem to cling to this idea, money clearly can't buy them class or intelligence, and in the case of Star Citizen it hasn't even remotely been able to buy them happiness.

Breetai posted:It's the end-point of Nerd Culture in general. When you define yourself as a person through the media you consume it's sad enough. But when you gather in communities dedicated to doing so then you reach a point where ideological purity is linearly tied to said consumption. Then you start getting people having to post about how much they love/have spent on the project as a disclaimer every time they posts any doubts/impure thoughts about the progress of the project, and the echo chamber grows more shrill. I know I should expect it, but I'm still going to be extremely annoyed when these idiots try to walk off a failure of the monetary proportions Star Citizen has reached.

A thought occurred to me this morning as I poured scalding hot coffee in my own face that if it did in fact take Chris Roberts 8 hours to write a letter about how The Escapist was a secret Derek Smart front for destroying Star Citizen, then does that mean he did a series of drafts beforehand to get it just right? Do you think I could set up one of those crowdfunding things like Ben did and try to buy the drafts? I'm sure Chris needs the money and wouldn't say no. The problem is reaching him would be impossible because he doesn't read his email. I'm going to have to talk to a faltering backer about dressing me up as a gift basket so I can get in there and try to speak to Chris.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Which is more depressing; that $130M have been scammed out of hopeful backers by a massive scheme, or that $130M of other people's money was wasted by a man who conned himself? It's not about what is, but about what you're convincing yourself is or isn't. If that sentence makes sense. I'm not sure it does. But really he's clearly scamming people at this point. He's a micro-manager so he's got all his hands in this poo poo so he can't claim ignorance with any credibility. He asks for more stuff if backers stop sending gifts. He's been taking multiple expensive holidays and flaunting the windfall of "success" in ways he clearly wasn't before SC started. It just feels like trying to paint Chris Roberts as a bumbling but still trying buffoon is more salve for your own wounds sustained at the hands of their malicious treatment of you when you were a backer than anything. Not intended as an insult towards you, but it comes across like the people who say "at least they tried/are trying!" when challenged on the brutal incompetence on display at almost every level (Chris Roberts controls all of them).

I feel like you've all missed the most important factor in this which is that Voltron wasn't a single anime it was many animes put together which is great when you remember that Voltron itself was many robots combining into one.

CrazyTolradi posted:The 4chan rejects drove out MoMA and Lazrin They really didn't. Lazrin hasn't posted since his meltdown that got him probated, and MoMA's probably just been enjoying family time for Thanksgiving. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:See? Posts like this are great. They're all coherent arguments that make valid points. I think the best way I can put it is more or less what I said when it turned out Sandi was emailing your buddy his posts on SA to him, and that's just that they're maliciously incompetent. They come across to me as loving stupid and they're really nasty about it, because they seem to think they're smarter than they really are and don't understand how to handle things like normal, sane people would. They'd step on your back rather then step over it, but would then probably lose balance and fall into a rose bush. Chris is just as nasty as the rest of them and he's basically admitted that he is in dealing with staff. It's even worse if TheAgent's stories are true. I have no doubt he's okayed every underhanded little trick and known exactly why it was that built that way financially. He thinks the demo was possible because of arrogance and stupidity, that he can simply decree and it will be done. Failure is ego damage and he won't accept that. Remember, "the backers will never know."

XK posted:The giant wall of character creation I'm not gonna lie I like the thought process and everything they went into with making their character, and the character itself isn't bad. It might be wasted on Star Citizen but at least the setting is so generic it can be slapped into anything else. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:"Maliciously incompetent" is a perfect way to put it. I think in the end it doesn't matter; we all agree they deserve whatever is coming to them and regardless of who is actively scamming versus knowingly benefiting from the scam they're all responsible for it. Of course, before this all goes down I feel like Chris and co getting what's coming to them will be postponed while the idiots get the financial slaughtering their karma seems to demand.

Roughly 1.5 - 1.75 months of bills at the current leaked burn rate. And yes they do a Holiday sale every year. November and December usually pull in $5,000,000+ each but they pulled out all the stops for this November by re-releasing the "never to be sold again" ships and doing "new cash discounts" on everything. They've defied our expectations regarding fatal economic wounds to the point that they really should have called themselves Rasputin Space Industries.

I'll admit I'm kind of lost. Derek asked a pretty sane and easy to answer question to MoMA and he loving went up like a house made of combustible orphans. Was this supposed to be a lesson for Derek in what happens when you dick around and don't do what's expected of you or something? As far as meltdowns go it's like someone cranked up the heat at Madam Tussauds or something and it proved what? Or am I the crazy one?

I think I'm in a state of shock because I consider MoMA to be what you get if you scoop a cup across the top of a pond and pour it into a human-shaped cup but even I didn't think he was this loving dumb.

thatguy posted:MoMA if you just said that the game isn't very good right now you could go after Derek and how wrong he's been over the past few days. Most of Derek's arguments have to do with him having SUPER SECRET SPEC-OP DOUBLE AGENT MOLES and if you could just discredit that you could finally be on the other end of a nice meltdown for once. People like Agent and AP don't mind being wrong but for Derek it results in a catastrophic disaster (hilarity) every time. I have trouble keeping up with half of what Derek says because I get stuck on trying to figure out what's true and what is him just spinning out bullshit to gently caress with this thread, Reddit and CIG in equal measure. I figure there's no real point keeping up cause if he's right he'll let us know he called it and if he's wrong someone will demand he recognise he was wrong and I can just nod my head and go "Oh okay" Even this gif thing I don't even know what the gently caress.
