im not sure, but Kimsemus and thatguy have played a major role in space court and it is too bad those in Goonrathi never gave them their day in space court before this game fell apart completely

It would actually be anti-climactic if Goonrathi let him in at this point, since it would mean the joke was over. A lifetime ban from a gaming clan (founded to play a failed non-game), based on some incident involving fishing that happened in a Korean grind-fest MMO, is way funnier if it just never gets reversed forever.

It's pretty clear that the image-deleting culprit is Dick Wulf. A common tactic to avoid accusations in a case like this is to categorize yourself as one of the victims. In this case, Dick Wulf couldn't have done it, since he had pictures deleted too! And there's no chance he has copies of those as his desktop wallpaper or saved in his porn folder.

Plus he's exactly the sort of Internet Mastermind that would write a reporting script, but then completely gently caress it up by having it report EVERYTHING.

Two of that lot have been deleted already. If it was the bot wouldn't all be down by now? If it was a person why delete anything at all? Or just two? I don't know what to make of it.

Imgur's deletion program probably has a few low-level rules before it complies. For instance, if an image has lots of upvotes or views or favorites, or if it is linked in a reddit thread that's currently in the "hot" category on reddit, imgur probably ignores the takedown request. That's why the imgur front-page images in this thread haven't been removed.

tl;dr: the bot IS hitting everything, but Imgur's bot is refusing to delete some of the images. As with everything related to reddit, it's a popularity contest.

I skimmed both of these looking for new shots or footage from Alpha 2.0. Credit where it is due- the ship UI update video is pretty cool and a lot closer to what I thought they should work like.

While we're giving credit where it's due, the ship fly-by audio sounds incredible. :jeb: The video though sounds like "this is my demo reel for when I go to work at a real video game company."

Seriously though, the audio team has always seemed to have their poo poo together, possibly because it's such an inscrutable field that even Chris Roberts can't micro-manage it to death. I hope those guys and girls get hired by someone competent as soon as possible.

The Yahoo article is pretty balanced and reasonable, too. The Escapist article was pretty heavy handed and only really told one side of the story, but the Yahoo article basically says there are differing opinions and maybe it'll all work out OK in the end.

I guess they're a real journalism site, because they're falling for the same dumb logic that most 24 news channels follow:

"Our two guests tonight are Vox Day, who thinks all minorities and females should be severely beaten and then locked in cages forever, and an average NOT INSANE human being, who believes all people should have equal freedoms under the law. I suppose the truth lies someplace in the middle!"

:commissar: No, no it doesn't. Sometimes the truth lies very very close to one side of the argument, especially when the other side is comprised of pants-shittingly-retarded fanatics.

Derek,

Reddit keeps claiming that THE GOONS will turn on you at any moment, and that when our amusement ebbs, we will savagely betray you and laugh about it. They imply that we are setting you up for a fall, and that we are waiting for you to do something so stupid, that it will make us "laugh out loud", on the floor, rolling about. I'm sure that our attacks on Vox Day and our urgent pleas for you to not do this interview/brainstorming session/cyber-rally feel a lot like we're starting to turn on you, and that makes me sad.

Let me be the first Goon to urge you to go talk to Vox Day. He seems like an a well-spoken philosopher who probably has an interesting perspective on the Star Citizen situation, and your personal role in it. He may have a few questionable political and philosophical views, but it's worth the time to meet him halfway and hear him out. He clearly admires you for being an articulate, well-spoken man who has overcome numerous historical and genetic hurdles in order to reach your current social and marital strata, and I think you should give him the benefit of the doubt.

I hope that in this current blitzkrieg of goon betrayal, my support will help you do the right thing, and go talk to Vox Day.

Regards,

Goredema

gently caress me! You guys I just realized something: Star Citizen would be better in every way if it were a car combat MMOFPS instead of a space combat MMOFPS. You could still have it be a scifi setting, just have it be frontier worlds like in Borderlands. Have there be giant portals between planets you could drive through and fight for control over or some poo poo. All that flight model balance and controller scheme balance bullshit goes right out the window!

Erin Roberts, if you're reading this thread, please hear my plea:

Once your brother runs CIG into the ground like some Noonan-owned chip shop, please acquire the video game rights to Redline, the high-concept anime remake of Hanna Barbara's Wacky Racers. Make it into a semi-persistent car racing MMO, complete with weird and retarded upgrades to the "cars" players drive, like rocket engines and stylish hair upgrades and stylish-hair-seeking missiles. This needs to happen.

Hey look, its a whale! Everyone point and laugh!

Sorry, but most of the $1000 was from buying jpegs and then selling them at a profit. The dirty secret is that half the whales are speculators that made a profit off the other whales.

tl;dr: Don't laugh at me because I'm "a whale", laugh at me because I ever spent money on this mess in the first place.

VVVV Very good point. If I hadn't taken a vow over a year ago to never spend another cent on Star Citizen, I'd buy up a ton of these cards and dump them for sub-:10bux: prices to ruin the sense of entitlement some of the "concierge" seem to have about their stupid, useless gentlemen's club.

I really have made popcorn to munch on while watching this train wreck.

Try adding Bacon Salt to your popcorn. Not too much though! Make it about 25% of the total salt you add, and it introduces a nice bacon-y flavor to the mix.

While I'm sharing ghetto-rear end kitchen tips, if you sprinkle a packet or two of Splenda or Truvia or similar sugar substitute over the popcorn, it'll tast a bit like kettle corn, for zero added calories.

Popcorn is gross and gets stuck in your teeth. People who make microwave popcorn in the office are worthless. These are my strong opinions about popcorn thank you SC thread.

I also hate the husks immediately shooting into whatever gaps I have in my teeth. And microwave popcorn is bleh. Go to your local thrift store and find an air popper for less than $5. We're still using one that was probably built 20 years ago, and it still makes awesome popcorn. Just don't try popping without the lid on. I tried it as an experiment, and the result is a lot like the Large Hadron Collider, but instead of microscopic particles, it's scalding hot popcorn shooting everywhere.
