I think around $1,500 or so including gifts. It's all in the goonswarm google spreadsheet, though not updated for some package upgrades. (For those curious, this is under half of what I've gifted to friends on Steam: )

I consider it a sunk cost at this point. At the moment I'm concerned that CIG may fail, but I would, being honest, like to see them succeed, because I like the idea of the game.

FFS just give it to loving charity or something. You lovely repugnant pigs with your endless disposable income and the world is going to poo poo while you buy JPEGS. gently caress you.

So. "The Big Debate" can now refer to two things:

1. The disagreement between astronomers regarding the size and nature of the universe, specifically if it extends beyond our Galaxy.

Or

2. Arguments between Shitizens about fishing in Star Citizen.

I think we can see other galaxies. Debate over.

Why does a space fighter need multibarreled guns? Is heat dissipation a thing in space?

Very much so. There is nothing for the heat to transfer into so conduction is basically zero. Infrared emission still works as normal but bleeds heat a lot slower than thermal conduction.

Edit: yeah beaten. Never mind.

I'm like 30 pages behind because I'm still reading about Warhammer chat because it's goofy and the lore is ridiculous but still interesting. I'm curious why stagnation of progress is a theme and why 10,000 year old armor etc is better than anything made modernly. Where can I read more dumb poo poo about these made up things?

Because the armour is made from the same stuff they use in plasma reactors to contain the pressures of small artificial suns. It's magic bullshit metal. As to why progress stopped? The people in charge said "no more science" and made unregulated research heresy. The guys who do the regulated research have their own stupid rules that hinder their advancement. Some dork of a tech priest probably filed away the cure for chaos because he decided it was a bit heretical looking. It is both a stupid frustrating backdrop for a game but also an interesting look at a society that is beset by war on all sides yet doesn't really want it any other way. Of course it'll all be for nothing when everyone gets ate by tyrannids.

You'll really learn about 40k lore AND culture at 1d4 while you get one small paragraph per entry at the lexicanum. Presumably so they don't violate canon or something. Lexicanum.com will never tell you why exactly space marines are all angry retards and why the space wolves are furry angry retards. In fact lexicanum.com will try to make out the marines are the good guys or some dumb poo poo or that anyone should actually enjoy playing them instead of feeling really bad and playing one of the cool guy sides.

As an unemployable :corsair: with long term health issues, this thought genuinely terrifies me. :/

The worst thing is while the unrestrained capitalism that is private healthcare is bad, the UK implementation of said capitalism will be handled with the typical Tory combination of evil and ineptness. So we'll have to pay for healthcare like the US but everything will be even shitter than under the NHS and cost about 10 times as much. I fully envision that we'll have poor healthcare that only 10% of the country can afford.

Because being a smug guardian style leftist is part of his act. He's more actor than comedian as he doesn't actually tell jokes. I guess you either like that or don't. Personally he spoiled me on comedy acts. Making his very existence the only joke required is amazing compared to other comedians standing there telling lame jokes and observational gags.

4 new people in Crytek Foundry 42 Frankfurt, interesting that one of them seems to be Melissa Estrada (QA Engine Specialist) a transfer from Austin.

I don't know what ELE is but if it's as significant as Derek says it must have caught them by surprise as LA, Austin, F42 UK & F42 Germany have all hired people very recently.

We're in the worst possible world aren't we. There is no hilarious crash coming. Neither will the game ever come out or if it does it'll be a shadow of what it should have been. Whatever happens is going to be in the most unfunny drawn out way possible and everybody loses.

Correction. B_of_Inforedux was neither run off, nor did he "call me out". he made some comments which 1) I didn't even acknowledge 2) people took issue with and responded to - ALL of which we do here, 24-7

Again, either you didn't read the past 300 threads, or you're just bellyaching because a bunch of your "DS hating, SC shills" friends are 1) about to be outed - by me 2) you think you're next 3) you didn't expect that the SC shills here, who we have barely tolerated, would be in the firing line

Here's the thing: you're all hosed. I don't take prisoners, and I simply don't give a gently caress about people long enough to care. Which part of my history did you miss? And which part gave you - or anyone - the impression that I actually cared?

I'm at war, and I intend to win it. By any means necessary There is no other way.

When Moma stepped over the line by bringing in RL (what does my moving violation have to do with my criticism of a game?), he sent a message. SA heard that message. And I heard it too. Note that I've only ever posted to him one here.

Now I know who he is, what school he went to, and what grades he got in the bar exam. It's who I am. It's what I do. It's why when people dumb enough to bring in RL into an Internet discussion, I throw out whatever morality I have because it's warfare; and there are no innocents.

That's all there is to it. So gently caress you.
