Seriously did you sell anything or can we laugh at you for the full $ amount if the wheels come off the space bus next week at Citizen Con?

Nope, Ben and I have chatted quite a bit. He knows full well how I feel about the way things are going, and to his credit he has no problem discussing it. I remain convinced that he believes in Star Citizen more than anyone else on the planet, but it's also clear as day that he holds no more authority than anyone else below Chris.

The dude ran a lovely echo chamber of a website worshiping every loving thing Croberts has ever touched. He wears that stupid goddamn pilgrim necklace everywhere he goes. He'd believe in Chris Roberts until the very bitter loving end.

I like the assumption that disagreement with someone means they're an irredeemable shithead and completely unable to communicate with and form a mutual understanding with the opposing party. You are from /r/starcitizen, though, so I can appreciate that you feel like this given the police state that is that subreddit. What was the result of the vote on whether or not /r/starcitizen ought to censor certain posters and post topics, almost 40% in favor?

There are few metrics by which you can summarily and fairly judge someone to be a true rear end in a top hat, and filtering out exposure to opposing ideas is one of them.

Edit: for that reason, actually, it's cool that you've decided to pop in here and post. Your disagreement is no problem; it's actually cool that you're exposing yourself to opposing opinions at all, however judgmental of them you may be.

I'd like to see HBO / Starz do something different besides these fantasy / ye olden times shows.

There should be a live action series about space ships, for instance. Deep Sperg 90,000,000.

GRRM has produced more in sneak previews for his next book due out whenever the gently caress it's done (which is always GRRM's release date) than CR has produced for his game that was supposed to be live years ago.

Yeah, didn't Congress actually pass something in the last few years that basically said, "We don't loving care what UK liberal courts decide - that poo poo don't apply to free speech in the US. Also, gently caress you UK libel laws."

Foundation was kind of poo poo.

Also Gryphon, stop trying to outshitpost me. It's not going to happen. Just because you were dumb enough to give 2500 bucks to this scam, which was more than I paid for my last car that still runs (It's real and I can actually use it unlike the game), does not give you the right to come in here and start trying to shitpost so badly it makes me look good. That's unacceptable.
