This post is dedicated to all those who fell by the forums, for nothing is wasted, and every apparent failure is but a challenge to others.
This is off topic, but I wanted to make a joke about Money's best video edit. I went back to the RtV. The edit has been reverted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfY_l_UyB1w&t=1365s

Was it because we picked up on it, or have I found the wrong video?

I don't know if this was picked up on before, but watch the crew's reaction as Sandi appears:

Seriously though if I was a customer with hundreds to thousands of bucks worth of purchases I'd be loving pissed if my ticket wasn't even acknowledged for days and days.

Amazon usually has a resolution within 24 hours for simple stuff.

Standards for poo poo like this is at least a "hey thanks for your ticket. We are working on it now doing X" within 12-24 hours on submission. If not sooner.

Did anybody go through that album? It's 65 loving pages of pictures of the chatbox.

Some "noob" rammed this dude's ship (lol, good job whoever it was) and he got stuck out in space and made a bunch of idiots come look for him. It was all very emergent.

The best part is because the game only lets other players track ships, he had to loving take a ss of where he was in the game and paste the imgur link into the chat in order to be found. Great job, CIG.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COZPAa817xY&t=257s And I thought, my God, the vision of that! The vision! The faith to do that! Perfect, investment, immersive, fidelitous, pre-alpha. And then I realised shitizens were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not JPEGs, these were assets....hand crafted assets. These assets that were repipelined by enlarged hearts, who craved children, who were filled with grief...but Chris Roberts had the strength....the strength....to not fire Ben. If I had ten websites of those loaf quotes, our troubles would be over very quickly. You have to have shitizens who are immersed...and at the same time who are able to utilize their sunk cost fallacy to invest without deadlines....without open development.... without FUD...without FUD!

Are you being serious with your warnings about Eastern European toughs going to rough up some of the detractors? That seems too far-fetched to be true, especially CIG collaboration with them, but this is CIG.

There are a few very very odd cultists who show up at these citizen con and bar citizen type functions. Even by average cultist standards these guys are off the chart. A lot of them are from eastern Europe and seem to think that the UEE is real and plan on pretty much living there full time, many have also done military service (Apparently thats still a thing in Poland etc ). I made a post about these guys a while ago. This got deleted for various reasons , but the long and short of it was they are straight up unhinged ..
However my current posts are in jest , there is not an Eastern European hit squad with a list of forumites names and addresses (That they have bought on the dark web off MeLKor). You can sleep soundly in the knowledge that a portly gentleman with bunny ears , a deflated sex doll and a crossbow will come knocking any time soon. Or indeed a ninja wearing soiled Dunlop' green flash' trainers scratching at the window late one stormy night.

The overlook hotel has new guests. Derek Smart is walking up the stairs towards Chris Roberts with a deranged look and twitterfeed in hand as the Director backs away from the indie developer fossil, and finds his feet clipping through the stairs.

"I'm not gunna sue you CIG," Derek says and posts another tweet. "You didn't let me loving finish. I'm not gunna sue you CIG, I'm just gunna burn your company down. Right the gently caress down."

If you see someone in an adidas athleticwear squatting on the streetcorner outside your house just turn and run.

The squatting is good for ambushing and running short distances. But the hamstrings are too constricted for all out chases.
