Great accomodations, except the cafe did not serve civil meat, and the electricity was not the worst kind. Disappointing. Beds were comfortable though.

Jodrell Bank is a famous radio telescope in the North of England, it was effectively one of the first and largest radio telescope installations in the world, and represents a geeky but enlightening trip into the yesteryear of astronomy.

Last time I was up there ~ 1997 ~ we spent an inordinate amount of time reading the guestbook, which was filled with quasi-religious nonsense from a church group that had been through. Stuff like, 'You know this is all false, so why perpetrate this hoax?' etc.

Guestbooks are great and worth reading through, then lying outrageously in.

Do it. Do it.

We were reading the guestbook out by the fire pit last night. It's pretty good. Most of it is boring regular stuff, but one guy wrote out a three page "Donner Party" style journal, which was hilarious.

Given the number of people who actually played Eve, and the amount of complaining these people do about goons, and the actual things goons did to affect people in Eve, there is a very real chance every CIG enthusiast that complains about goons in Eve has never, in fact, been affected by goons in any way.

Who the hell did D_Smart learn to code from? Chris Roberts? There must be tons of offscreen hand waving going on.

I almost BOUGHT that game.

edit: Too be fair, im still considering buying it to help support Mr. Smart. But your ban policies have me a little leery. You ban for trolling yet your a trolling goon of the biggest caliber.

How can a goon who trolls be able to ban people for trolling?

Goons changed the balance of power in the galaxy, so yeah - a lot of players were affected. I might be missing the point entirely though!

Whereas the term autism chariots is hilarious, I can't help but feel like "autism" has become the equivalent of calling someone/something "gay" in the 90's. Though that autism spectrum sure does make it easy. So carry on.

The reputation travels further and faster than reality and has overshadowed some far more amusing lols.

Anshe Chung was a persona that someone started up in second life that was 'internet rich' and decided to hold a press conference online with CNET. Within minutes, goons dropped dicks all over the meeting space, and when she decided to leave and host it in her space, they dropped pictures of her holding huge dicks.

What is wrong with these people? How can they possibly think this would make a good game? And how the gently caress would you sell it to anyone not already obsessed?

"You should totally buy Star Citizen! It's this really cool space game where you can do anything!"
"Ok, I'll give it a try for fifty bucks."
"Oh, if you just buy the basic package you'll have to basically be someone's slave until you save up enough money to buy a lovely ship and get your rear end kicked by people who've spent thousands of dollars on their fleet."
"Think I'll give that a miss, I hate pay-to-win games."
"gently caress YOU YOU loving GOON, IT'S NOT PAY-TO-WIN, IT'S IMMERSIVE!!!"

That's a good post. Also notable is the dozens of posts after that agreeing and complaining about the fake transparency, constant reworks, endless scope creep. Still have the odd retard telling everyone they don't understand software development and how no visible progress is completely normal, but they're in the minority. It's really striking how skeptical the official forums are now.

Oh great, another bookah.
This thread is not very interesting right now because the lack of star citizen content has been discussed to death and there is nothing else to discuss because of the lack of star citizen content.

Things like Dolvak stepping down are honestly boring as gently caress, but that's pretty much the most interesting thing going on right now. There's no game to discuss, and Chris Roberts has broken so many promises already that the semi-regular broken promises aren't interesting either.

CIG needs to produce something that's actually worth discussing.
