:pgi: decided to launch a kickstarter to fund their legit Star Citizen ripoff while people in the MWO community were still trying desperately to get QOL fixes done on the game :pgi: had been ratfucking for years.

Oh and PGI registered the official Transverse subreddit and staffed the mod positions with PGI employees, something that is a big no-no in redditland.


It ended poorly - Transverse got cancelled after coming nowhere loving near the goal. The community rose up and basically rioted. For a little while it honestly looked like PGI was going to completely go under. There were a couple big staffing changes and a promise to re-focus on MWO and so far they've kept to their word.

I kind of remember this happening before goons had really fully turned on CIG and people in the Elite and SC thread were able to unite for the first time in mocking this clearly poorly thought out attempt to jump onto the crowd funded space sim bandwagon.

Sometime when I have like 30 days straight free I need to search up the old threads to put together a definitive history, archiving the recipes, images, videos and snarkiest posts.

Wikipedia says it can support up to two 4k displays at 60Hz

I guess there's nothing stopping a stupidly expensive display from supporting multiple displayport inputs from multiple GPUs

That guy did in fact have 3 4k monitors, presumably at 60hz, and that would require some bandwidth (because he's got 3 4k monitors)

Nice. That opens the door to having to periodically reinject the silvery liquid, and, of course, the pain quadruples every picosecond when that happens. Now, all we need for the Fourth Stimpire to fall is the Skellington Revolution to happen.

Okay so here's where I have to do some educated guessing. I'll be talking about three separate points, hopefully I can make this easily understandable:


Regarding Civil Meat

So, I actually have a bit of knowledge about this. Not because I want to, but because the internet is a horrible horrible place filled with terrible people. The original Stimpire text mentions the idea of Civil Meat briefly, as follows:

A loving Lunatic posted:

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders.

The important parts to note are that citizens must "give themself up" and are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain. This description bears a striking resemblance to the insane stuff written and drawn by Dolcett. If you're not familiar with Dolcett, please DO NOT google it but basically it's a guy who gets off on the idea of roasting completely subservient women alive on spits. Dolcett art has developed a bit of a following among the more mentally unbalanced fucks, so he's not the only artist, but the themes are always pretty much the same: a wife lovingly gets impaled and flame-grilled so her husband can have a good barbeque, women line up at the butcher shop to get parted out and sold as food, etc. In every case, the "civil meat" is served in big slices or steaks, usually arranged on a platter like a Thanksgiving turkey (and the woman's head is always there for some reason? I don't know). In any case it's probably safe to say that "civil meat" in the Stimpire isn't served as like a smoothie or something, but that doesn't mean it can't be ground up later.

Regarding the Replacing of the Skeleton

One of the big assumptions is that the skeleton is replaced by a silver liquid that then hardens into a new skeleton but I can't find anything in The Text to indicate that. It's entirely possible that children born on the 14th of July are simply left completely de-boned, and the cavities are filled with silver liquid for some other reason. They aren't necessarily "Wolverine-ing" these kids, although there's nothing in The Text stating that the liquid doesn't harden at a later point.

Regarding the Replacing of Teeth

So basically we are left with two educated guesses based on whether or not the silver liquid hardens into a new skeleton. If it does, it would make sense to have the teeth replaced by big jagged shards of metal that gently caress up the inside of your mouth and generally make your life a Stimperial nightmare. If the skeleton doesn't harden, though, then there really won't be anything left to anchor jagged metal bullshit to. So you have a kid that's basically a sack of blood, organs, and misery. The subject would have to be be tube-fed (even if they had teeth they wouldn't have arm-bones to hold a fork) and be completely dependent on their caretakers. It would be the ultimate torture. However, the surgical implantation of grinding plates might allow the child to eat slightly more solid food, something that would probably be limited only to the children of wealthy parents, because why would the Stimpire ever make someone's life even marginally better?

So basically it depends on what happens to the silver liquid skeleton replacement, I think.

Well Occam's razor favors the alternative with fewest assumptions. The Text gives us no guidance on the subject of hardening silver liquid, so I propose that the ersatz "skeleton" is in fact liquid and leaves the July 14th born children unable to ever stand upright, forced to eek out a horizontal existence while undergoing extreme pain

Also "civil meat" is the greatest euphemism ever
