LTI on anything, LTI Caterpillars. Closing down sale, everything must go.

So they're doubling down on LTI-only-once-but-not-just-once? Didn't that make a lot of their fans angry?
Ah well, mental gymnastics will fix it I guess.

I've given up trying to talk to these people in any productive way, it's all snark all the time. Not only are they terrible people they are dumb as motherfucking bricks which is arguably worse. These people are dumber than bitcoiners, they deserve everything that is coming to them and I'm going to gloat like I've never gloated in my loving life.

I used to feel more sympathetic but I've come around to this point of view as well.

What CIG is doing isn't as evil as payday loans or faith healing scams that prey on desperate people in dire situations. The only desperation CIG is exploiting is that of unhappy fuckwits who want to escape reality, and CIG has actually come through for them. CIG have provided a false reality for the morons to live in for a period of several years. A false reality in which Star Citizen will eventually launch as a high quality, technologically revolutionary game of magnificent scope that they can play for decades.

Or to put it another way - they have spend $400,000 USD on jpegs of concept art of an unmade in-game asset for a game that is struggling in pre-alpha/alpha, that is being made by a new start up company being lead by Chris Roberts that already has collected $115,000,000 USD without any publisher oversight.

Total madness.

When the day comes, and the receivers are dragging Chris away form the office for the last time, I hope he yells out "Let me loving finish!" ..... and then somewhere a Derek will rest knowing that he himself has finally finished.

The Lady is a mystery. She's widely regarded to be the de facto ruler of Cigil, its protector and its victim. She is said to guard the doors of the Cage against the myriad schemes of the gods, to be the ultimate expression of balance in the multiverse, to be the prisoner of the City of Doors. There are thousands of stories about her - one even tells that she's actually six giant squirrels with a headdress, robe, and ring of levitation and illusions - but none of them can be verified. She is a true enigma, a puzzle with no solution.

If someone displeases her - by upsetting the balance of the city or by worshiping her - the Lady may punish the offender. Her punishment ranges from the Mazes - a twisting, turning hell with a cleverly disguised exit - to the casting of her shadow across the transgressor, covering him with slashes and gouges from her sharp-edged shadow, leaving behind a pile of gore and viscera. Neither option is particularly attractive.

Planescape is good and fun. :hfive: But she's nowhere near cool enough to be the Lady of Pain.

Also the vast majority of the money has already been spent, the game is poo poo and fixing what there is would likely cost more than starting the whole project from scratch.

Idris sold in 2012, not even something you can walk around the outside of on a landing pad. Caterpillar sold in 2012, forgotten about until recently. Javelin sold for $2500 and will never, ever, exist in any form.

Yes the Titanic hasn't returned yet, but the boats are out searching and White Star Lines assured everyone everything is fine. My life savings in spare tickets for the next trip are secure. Sure there are survivors talking about things like sinkings and icebergs but they don't understand cruise liner development. I'm going to go buy a few more tickets to sell for a huge markup and then live on the Titanic! I can still buy the tickets right now that means its coming back. THEY WOULDN'T SELL TICKETS IF IT WASN'T COMING BACK.

I can't be bothered to watch it again because Sandi makes me vomit but, and this may have been due to lack of sleep, her shouting "I own your hate mail!" was pretty loving funny to me. It's like she's jealous of a certain Warlord's capabilities.
