Typical ultragoon that needed something to give him a personality. When young he was potentially losing his eyesight and the doctors basically prescribed reading to him as a way to help with his eyesight before a major surgery so he read wing commander novels and claims they were what healed him, not his surgery. It would be like if a doctor told me to get plenty of Iron before a surgery and I claimed the healing power of steaks saw me through.

Spent most of his life as a 2sick2wicked forums warrior on "The Official Wing Commander Forums" or whatever and apparently worshiped and sucked up to Chris Roberts so hard during the years he was a used car salesman that he got noticed and got a job at CIG when the kickstarter took off, with predictable results.

I played Eve a few times with Goonfleet and it was generally pretty cool even with a poo poo PC. Last time I had to reroll everything and start from scratch, but the next day I was flying an op with a sky full of goons and blasting the poo poo out of some huge rear end ships.

I had the same experience with VR - almost barf-inducing at first, but after a few sessions it went away. Only thing that gets me now is Dirt Rally 2.0 with fixed head position.

Imagine working there. Imagine the palpable sense of doom, every day, that nobody talks about. Everybody has read the articles, the forum posts, the tweets, and now they sit at work every day wondering, "Is it today? Is today the day when everything goes to poo poo?"

In a talk he gave about everything that happened, Sean Murray said someone at Valve told him that what you do is going to be worth more than anything you say. So Murray and his guys just put their heads down and got working. No road maps, no communication, no promises, just did the work and then when the updates were ready they'd put them out and get back to work again.

No man's sky is good now? I haven't revisited that since it first came out.

"a hairy roberts" sounds like a sex thing.

I gave her the ol' hairy roberts.

Hairy Roberts: telling a potential sex partner how life-changing sex would be with you, and then hiding in the bathroom once he/she is actually in bed and ready, simultaneously weeping with fear while telling them through the door that they're TOTALLY in the wrong position/wearing the wrong thing and you're not coming out until it's right. For hours, until the person leaves.

Reading these tweets is like having a toddler.

I remember once my son was running around the house, tripped over himself and fell. Didn't get hurt, just the usual toddler crash that we've seen a million times.

Me, sitting across the room: You okay buddy?
Wife: What happened?
Kid: Daddy pushed me!

the badly placed star citizen logos

it's like the doobies doghouse of Star Citizen

He should be in the game, a top 10 wanted target or something, but be absolutely unkillable.

Unless you shoot him with a tranquilizer gun, take his mask off, and wait.

I'm sure this has been asked already, but does the Stimpire thing stem even vaguely from shart citizen, or is it just some rando's ravings on their game forums?

Play posted:

The latter. Official SC backstory lacks the creativity and the... perversion to come up with something like that. It's very standard and pretty boring fare from the official story

That's what I figured, although I thought maybe the Stimpire author read some word or phrase in whatever uninspired lore exists and just ran with it.

I really want an oral backstory as to how this picture exists, with exacting details to everything on it

Put it on Voyager 3, launch it into space. Make aliens believe we're a race of rabbit people who build robots. Really mess with their mind

I'm conflicted about wanting to know the backstory but believing in my heart that there are actual women or pieces thereof in those boxes :stonklol:

It's worthless, just like everything else in that poorly constructed alpha, but that won't stop fools from throwing cash at it.

But... Isn't that how you prove your love to a thing? Isn't it strictly transactional???
