It seems like goons are bullshitting because everyone is all like 'it made me so mad and so sad' rather than 'HAHAHAHAHA'.

Also the fact that they are goons and posting.

See, the "two weeks" meme was funny back when it was relevant, when CIG and Roberts kept promising everything in 2 weeks and Goons kept using it as a joke for CIG's scheduling and delaying tactics. But you've done the Derek thing of come in late to a joke you don't fully understand, appropriated it, and now you're running the loving thing into the ground.

I'm not going to post the project I'm working on, but it's been going for 13 years (I haven't been involved that long) and finally looks like we'll be getting funded next year and get to make our *thing*.

Unlike what this sounds to be.

How do I do a chargeback on a years old purchase? I'd be interested in a spaceships refund.

Outfuckingstanding. I've got this glorious image in my head now. Chris is snorting enough cocaine to let Columbia buy the world and shouting about procedurally-generated tortoises. Sandi, carrying a battery powered hair clipper and a magnifying glass, is hunting terrified junior staff members. Disco Lando is playing Elite: Dangerous on his VR headset and wondering how long he can get away with pretending that's important research. Alexis is sending some Star Citizen merchandise back to the manufacturer because it's too high quality and it would be dangerous to get their customers used to anything being well made. Ryan Archer sits in a corner, changing every tenth word in The Great Gatsby prior to sending it to a publisher under his own name. Programmers sit at their desks, sending to CVs to any company that has never heard of CIG. A couple of them dangle from the ceiling by nooses, smiles on their faces. An occasional pistol shot is heard as an artist has their previously accepted work sent back for the twentieth time. Amid all this, still trapped in his seat from the last video recording, Ben Lesnick squints at a pile of old Wing Commander boxes, counting the discs within largely by touch, sometimes tentatively biting one to check whether it's a disc or just another of the novelty cookies his wife makes in a desperate attempt to get him to look at her the way he looks at Chris Roberts.

I hate these guys so much.

Hey guys, I'm going to politely recommend that we go dark about The Terrible Secret of Space (at least in the public thread). I just got an unsolicited email from CIG "support" asking some uncomfortable questions. They're in full witchhunt mode, so lets not say or do anything stupid that might jeopardize the source of our amusement.

First he reads the whole thing backwards, then he starts in the middle(?) and then he has a glass of orange juice and then he re-reads the most recent page.


Then he picks a post 600 pages ago to reply to, confusing the gently caress out of whoever he quotes.

I have a better method.

1) bookmark the last page I was on when I leave
2) return (usually next day or when I have a lull in my day/eve), go to the current last page
3) open current last page in new tab
4) read backward +5 pages
5) go to bookmark in #1, read forward +5 pages
6) repeat until I arrive where #4 and #5 meet
7) go to #3
8) proceed as normal (usually, depending on how much poo poo is going down, it takes an average of +10 pages to catch up)

Seriously, I read every loving post. And I tend to archive (to Clipmate and/or Evernote depending on post type e.g. Gorf's masterpieces ALWAYS go into Evernote) as I go along

ps: this works/makes sense if you're on the autism spectrum like me
