A pound of whale vomit may be $5,000 for a pound, but Star Citizen is $45 for nothing.

Sorry. Did I miss this earlier in the thread by chance? Is the helmet flip in this Doom 4 Video a small jab at Star Citizen or just one of those cool factors that everybody does and I've just only now noticed because of how lovely it was done in Star Citizen?

G0RF posted:MassivelyOP: Overthinking the Star Citizen Money Machine You can put a price on that desire - in fact there's a whole store full of dumb poo poo that costs money that fulfills some weird desire for a non-game, and there are people actively shilling poo poo from that store to raise more money. Then they cultivate an aura of perfect around themselves and cull the non-believers into their own subforum or ban them outright. It's too bad Jim Jones wasn't a game developer in the 90s - it would have been glorious to see. Recipe for stupidity: 1. Find some cult hero from the 90s to promise the best game ever whilst also catering to every wish and whim. 2. Raise money to create game. 3. Become so successful, that you keep changing the goalposts and blame it on the community for loving you so much. 4. Actively seek out more money by constantly promising new things. 5. Shill all of that out weekly with talk shows. 6. Cultivate a cult of personality around your chairman (As an aside the origination of the word chairman is hilarious, especially when you apply it to squatcobblers). 7. Remove the non-believers and create and echo chamber. 8. Repeat 3-8.

Help Mark Skeltonquote:Mark Skelton's (Austin Dev and Gold shirt wearer) daughter has had an accident and he need donations to help her, she fell 40 feet off of a retaining wall and fractured several vertebrae in her lower back along with breaking both her radius and ulna in her left forearm. $6,520 of $50,000 It's nice to see Citizens give money to something useful for a change.

And I don't know why you'd stick your warp and quantum drives together with a clasp, as if they were computer parts on a motherboard. You'd think if they weren't custom parts like nuclear reactors on navel vessels, that they'd at least be firmly bolted down to the ship's frame.

We haven't had a recipe for a while so I'm going to post this as it was so drat tasty. i've been on a quest to make the perfect Shepherd's Pie for years and I think combining the current trend for "pulling" things with some good old fashioned British grub has created the winner. So, you will need 2 DAYS EFFORT DAY 1 - slow cook lamb in slow cooker 1 Lamb leg (chop to fit your cooker if needed) 6 carrots halved 3 sticks celery chopped 1 onion quartered Thyme Rosemary Bay leavesx3 Glass red wine Lamb stock Chuck all this poo poo in a slow cooker and leave it for 10 hours on low. At the end the lamb will be melting off the bone. Take it out, take the carrots out, throw away everything else - as it will be full of fat and oil. Break up the lamb in the "pulled" style and slice the carrots DAY 2 Chop some shallots finely and fry off until coloured Put your pulled lamb and sliced carrots in pot, add fresh lamb stock, glass red wine, gravy browning, big squirt of HP sauce (trust me), big squirt of tomato puree, more sprigs of herbs, the shallots, a shake of Worcester Sauce. Put it all in the oven for an hour on a low heat with a lid to stew Meanwhile - boil up a big pot of potatoes (you'll need more than you think). After 25 mins they will be falling apart. Drain and leave to steam off for 10 mins. Put in a big pot, add loads of grated cheddar and a big knob of butter, mash to a fine cream. Take lamb mix from oven - remove any herb stalks, bay leaves etc. spoon mix into a deep lasagne type dish. Get a plastic freezer bag and spoon your mashed potato into it. Then cut off a corner and pipe the mash onto the lamb. Take a fork and scrape the surface of the mash to create ridges. Put the finished pie into the fridge to relax until you are ready to serve TO SERVE Heat oven to 180 Grate Parmesan over the top of the pie Bake pie for 30 mins Switch to grill (Broiler for Americans) and brown off top until crispy Serve with garden peas and minted butter No idea why that pic is upside down, gently caress it

Dusty Lens posted:That's essentially Pulsar the Lost Colony. I have no idea if it's any good. It looks like an exceedingly rough game in a very early state of goodosity and it's entirely PVE afaik. But it's multiplayer FTL. I've played Pulsar like.. grand total of once and that was quite a while ago. Game was in very rough stage but with a four man crew over mumble it was surprisingly entertaining. I was the ships engineer so I mainly stared at the power and shield screens when it came to space combat, but I still had a role to do. Not necessarily the most exciting one, but someone had to ensure all systems had power and that the shields would hold and there'd be no generator melting going on.. and charging the warp drives in time if we need emergency exit. Crew members have some basic combat skills plus unique ones that benefit the ship/crew. We had some boarding action going on too, enemies ported into our ship and in few matches we sent couple guys over to enemy ships for some internal sabotage because you can destroy systems in the ships as well. Or just kill the crew. Some planetary explorations were glitchy, like falling through the ground into our deaths, but there were a couple with giant bugs/ants/whatever that came in quite numbers and others were just for exploration and finding loots. Some had hostile environments that required space-suits. Somehow we managed to put in like 3-5 hours and had fun.

Many people are giving hundreds. One guy gave a grand. All within hours of the request going up. I am sure they will fill up that 50K limit pretty quickly and I am happy the girl gets the treatment she needs.. I have to wonder though if Chris will use this opportunity to completely export the workers' medical insurance over to the backers. Perhaps make it even part of the award winning and best selling crowd funding portal product.
