Jobbo_Fett posted:The MISC Observer: A fully-cloaked one man ship that can spy on anything at any time anywhere. Never again will you have to worry about being shot or griefed. In true MISC comfort and style, you'll be available to look at the wild universe of Star Citizen and be fully cloaked while doing it. MISC's cloaking generator is so advanced that being discovered is impossible. You drastically underpriced it. Add a zero on.

I'm actually really sad now after looking back over all Derek's blogs and posts and such. Star Citizen is just a cult of jpegs now, E:D seems neat but ultimately sorta empty and single-playery, and Eve is just spreadsheets and glory-days-gone-by. I just want a space game to play with other people

Something happened to me today that really caused an epiphany as to why I can't stand SC or its fans, personally. my job is, at the moment, making a lot less sales then it currently should be. as a result, i'm getting less hours then normal, so making ends meet is a bit hard right now. My friend comes to me today to tell me about the Freelancer or whatever the latest jpeg fotm is, and basically says something along the lines of "well, me and [group of friends] have all grabbed a ship, or two, or 14, why don't you?" So i patiently explain that right now I'm a bit focused on paying bills, and making sure my GF and close family have some minor presents from me first, before I look to buying anything for myself, much less something that isnt an actual game but what amounts to an IOU of a game. My friend essentially accuses me of being a complete mouthbreathing retard who can't see that Star Citizen is "a better investment then actual stocks or bonds" and insists that I should refund the presents I bought my GF and family and invest in "at the very least, a Mustang". TL;DR I have terrible friends and SC is basically an actual cult, the evidence of which did not truly hit me until I interacted with a Cultizen in real life.

chargebacks do not hurt you, per say. they do require a little-to-a-lot of wrangling with the cc company, but usually as long as you can show you attempted to get a refund a cc will go ahead with the chargeback. where it gets tricky as i understand is 'does the cc then tell cig you're asking for a chargeback' or do they simply issue the chargeback. if the former, cig can pull legal shenanigans, i think? im not too sure. I know i made sure to politely and calmly ask for a refund before trying a chargeback, so that i can at least tell the cc company 'yes i tried'.

I'm more than willing. Though I'm not blunt and rude... I'm painfully polite, calm yet forceful when on the phone, and people find it very hard to hang up on me.

I think the biggest indicator of how pie in the sky hosed SC is is that every player suggestion (and thus croberts demand) start with the words "wouldn't it be neat if..." and the problem is that the players (and croberts et al) don't finish the sentence then laugh and say 'well at least we have [gameplay example] right?' they just say/demand 'yes put [idea] in too gently caress IT'

Lowtax posted:That's always been a huge flaw here as far as I can remember. Comments start out as jokes about trivial aspects of the topic, then slowly grow more bitter and angry, and soon you've got people trying to one-up other people with harsher insults and doing things that clearly step over the line. Then the fun of the thread immediately disappears and we usually have to gas it, since posters' behaviour will continue to be just as bad, if not worse. So what you're telling me is SomethingAwful is not in fact different from the rest of the internet? Sir i am requesting a refund on the grounds i did not receive what i paid for you've had a decade and a half and you've missed every deadline
