Time for some SC fan fic blurbs, I call this getting cucked in the 'verse, written by "The White Knight"

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/310405/dear-diary

"Dear Diary,

After years of saving money and flying that fifty year old turd of an Aurora I have saved up enough funds to purchase a brand new ship. I am so excited. Things are really looking up for me. Yeah, my fiancé went off with that bastard pirate Bartholomew Jack a few months ago but I’m over it. She torched my pad, took my dog, and stole my guitar but I’m not going to talk about that anymore. It’s a New Year. I’m going to move the picture of her from the nightstand to the bathroom counter. Progress I tell you. I refuse to huddle on my bed in a fetal position and cry myself to sleep anymore. Today, I buy a new ship."

Hey Beer:

Your email uploads to Imgur were the greatest gift to this thread since Chris' disastrous live-stream gameplay experience. But since they are rasterized, it makes it difficult to excerpt and quote. Any chance you could paste them as text files into this thread? The word cloud opportunities alone boggle the mind.

I would advise against it. Aside from the fact that it would be a LOT of work to edit 50+ pages to remove header information. And just doing a copy pasta is going to ruin the integrity of the data as it can then be easily manipulated. Maybe export to PDF, then run OCR on it? I think Foxit PDF does that.

Much worse, it's a bone controller. Even if they could only knock off $20 without the controller it'd be nice at that price point.

The bone controller is good provided you never have to use the shoulder buttons.

What did she expect? She accused him of corporate espionage, that's so mind boggling retarded and hilarious it beggars belief. Not to mention she hosed him over, so what incentive does he have to keep it private? Does she really think everyone is a deluded cultist or something?

It gives me a warm feeling inside to think that she was genuinely surprised someone would post her insane emails on the internet. That she wrote what she did because she never expected it to go public.

Welcome to the internet Sandi.

Derek we've still got the jpegs and Beer has the originals so I don't think we need to worry about manipulation. Also it'd be pretty loving hard to make it say anything worse, Sandi does a fine job on her own.
