Just want to give my thanks to Derek for his shenanigans archive thread and to Gorf for providing the sheer mass of information and analysis thereof that the thread links to. I can now follow this thread with a modicum of understanding. The origin of the term Stimpire still eludes me though, is it simply referencing the eeeediocy of the spergs?

Colostomy Bag posted:Long story short is some 14 year old (or who knows, 30 something cheeto stuffing monster) under the name "Zealot" posted the Stimpire lore in the "Fan Fiction" site on the official RSI forums. Cheers for that, I'd assumed it originated on the SA forums and wasn't something I'd find with google.

*Reads through Beer and Sandi's exchange with a nice cup of tea* Apologies for dredging up the past, but this is all new and exciting to me. Watching Sandi's replies disintegrate into fragmented psychobabble is just the sweetest kind of schadenfreude. There should be a goon propaganda video of a one-sided space battle where the winning side is hammering the loser's shields with Beer's well thought-out prose.

A Neurotic Jew posted:No Man's Sky VS. Star Citizen - Avoiding the Teeth of the Hype Machine at Gamescom The point he makes about the lifts (elevators) is a good'n. It'd be the WoW zeppelins all over again, with the added irritant of players who'd deliberately hold it up. That said, I've heard stories of bands of players killing the zeppelin NPCs off and denying passage to other players. I guess grief finds a way.

Good grief, the whole exchange past the refund of his original pledge reads like a dumped bf emailing his ex E: Figured this needed further exploration "RSI/CIG... I think we're moving too fast. Please don't take this the wrong way, I still love you and support you. I just don't think rushing into things would be good for me at this point. Let me just make this clear: I'm not breaking up with you." "But I rely on you so much, how can you possibly be so selfish? I thought you loved me, Citizen..." "You're not listening to me, I'm not giving up on us. I simply want to pace our relationship such that we don't burn ourselves out. Going full burn right now could just damage our chances." "Oh... Okay then. I understand, I do. I'm willing to take it slow for now." Some time later... "Citizen, we're finished. I hope you're happy with that Frontier bitch." "What? No! I only wanted to slow down! This isn't what I wanted at all, why are you doing this?" "You've made it clear that you're not willing to give 110% of your income to save our relationship. I don't think I can be with someone as uncommitted to us as you seem to be." "But I am committed! I told you as much beforehand! You're doing this just to spite me! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Well, I hope for the thread's sake that GORF is not permanently done with it. I for one appreciate the effort put into his effort posts, as I suspect do many others. P.S. The Sperg Who Lynched Me P.P.S. Hate to put him in as an afterthought, because he's certainly not, but Pgabz needs a mention too. My recent marathon of his entire channel led me here, and the perfect imperfection of his videos had me in stitches over and again. I could gush all loving day, but bottom line; Thanks Pgabz.

Tippis posted:I also find it fascinating that it still hasn't occurred to them that, even if refunded and banned and whathaveyou now, if all their dreams come true, the apostates will be back. After all, assuming the game is released, anyone can just buy an account and a bunch of ships and start playing. They still seem to live under the illusion that being a backer will somehow afford them something special over the supposed late-comers, even though CIG has made it pretty clear by now that they'll continue doing the exact same thing to keep the money rolling in. I bought a rear admiral package back in 2014, so I'm more of a small space porpoise than an actual whale, but I've a pledge all the same. I don't have any illusions about how bad this is going to tank. It's circling the bowl and I'm sitting on the rim, content to watch it swirl while throwing the odd shitpost in with it. But I'm not getting a refund. Now, I wanna give non-retarded reasons for doing this, but I really can't. I keep trying to think up lucid explanations for why I don't want my ~300aud back, but I can't. Not honestly. It's probably a lot to do with the illusion of being special that you mentioned, but it feels more like (if the game did actually succeed) the effort of getting a refund and then convincing myself to buy it again later just wouldn't be worth it. So yeah, three hundred dollar convenience. I'm a retard. Just thought I'd back up your point.
