Have you thought about penning children's books?
I've an idea on a illustrator for said books.
Adzadama, you may have heard of him?

I... don't think inflicting Adzadama on children is very moral.

Ironically, the glue that holds this lie together is the gap itself - the incredible gulf between what Star Citizen is, and what it's been implying that it is for years now. It's too wide a gap for some people to get over.

In other other crowfunding news, french crowdfunding site ulule put that out:
https://community.ulule.com/topics/-transactions-realisees-lintermediaire-dulule-elles-dons-3416/
As per french legislation:
Monetary pledge without reward: gift, no refund.
Pledge with a symbolic reward, such as low value promotion items like stickers, or getting your name in the credits, still a gift. No refund.
Pledge with a reward of at least 20% of pledged amount, it's a sale. Usual trade legislation applies.
I dunno how much of it is common to other European countries, but it pretty much seals the deal for CI-NotG.

Welp paywalls back up so and with all the juicy developments lately I couldn't afford to miss out on all the comedy gold so I finally paid the $10 bucks for an account. I've been a long time lurker for 2 years and the laughs I've had here are just priceless. I've played games all my life, mostly console but later on I moved over to PC. Ive been aware of the genre of space sims but never was a fan. I originally stumbled upon this trainwreck while scrolling through my recommended on Youtube and watching MandoloreGaming's initial video on the project and its controversies. I quickly fell down the rabbit hole and soon became a frequent lurker here. I try to explain Star Citizen to friends and family and its just so frustrating. Even my "gamer" friends just dont seem to care or understand. But goons understand. I salute you all.

Welcome, Initiate. Your one-time access code to the OPSEC forum should arrive soon. Report for duty ASAP.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is going to be closer to the mark than anything Chris comes up with. For $30. Even on Switch. And soon, but you know, the for real kind.

Oh, it's going on the switch as well? Since this thread seems the most up to date on it, which plateform would be better, considering I don't have a tv for my switch?

Kreia from Kotor II was more interesting than anything or anyone from the prequels or sequels. Whatever the flaws of that game, it was the last Star Wars story they made me feel wonder. Maybe Bioware will get their chance to destroy that for me too so the circle will be complete.

Eh, she felt a bit too much like a fanfiction character who's better than everybody, is always right, to the point the game actively bend over to make it so, has trained the most powerful jedi of her time, was both a sith lord and jedi master. The character having some pretty radical ideas about the nature of the force could have been interesting, but Avallone needed you to agree with what he disliked about Star Wars. In a star wars story.

I wonder what would happen if I accepted the agreement and then started making very positive Star Citizen videos but with a really sarcastic voice so you could tell I thought it was poo poo.

I wonder if “no seriously I was trying to make it look good” would fly as an excuse lol

You shouldn't compromise YOU MUST HAVE PLATINUM TO SEE THIS's operation, dude. Think of the length they went to garner the Citizenry's truth.

AdzAdama used to have some common themes in his work, like Astroboy as the incarnation of his hopes and dreams, or Crobert as a bold spaceman. Is he selling out? Is his sanity leaving the building? Or are those... a bona fide fraud? :monocle:

News from french citizen #1. This guy is the main reason why star citizen has a following in france, and remains very faithful in the project in face of it all.

This is a guy that makes his livelihood ripping through bad games with funny videos. I don't even think he has the excuse of shilling. In his videos he talks about lack of quality, framerate, etc, but never puts all of it together.

Yeah. I used to like the guy for a while, but between his non stop evangelism for the game and some loss of quality in his jokes, I'm taking a raincheck about him nowadays.
E: though him getting roasted by his own fanbase for being such a shill never stop being funny.

Dark Souls 1 is a pretty good experience, but kind of overhyped, insofar ranking in the franchise goes. Dark Souls 2 and 3 build a lot from it, and are overall better games to me.

I don't know if SC people set up big dioramas for their games but I know Train Simulator fans, Truck Simulator and flight simulator fans and such can spend thousands to build a simulated cockpit for their game.

You can bet they do. Which pretty sad considering the game will never be out.

Is it as sad as someone building a 1:1 scale boeing airliner cockpit in their home?

It's... not really sad, tho? They are living up a passion, playing a game they enjoy and that is released, and so long it doesn't consume their life, who are we to say anything about it? Citizens won't ever play the game they build their sim pit for.
