That's interesting, and someone should probably contact Universal about it. I mean, Cel galleries exist online, but they don't charge for access. So... I really don't know. If I wasn't so drat busy with event build up right now, I'd have a crack at chasing up the legalities.

Man every time I look at a picture of the Freelancer I'm reminded how lovely most of the spaceship designs actually are in this spaceship game about spaceships. In other news though I just bought a bunch of crap for my kitchen so I can perform mad science experiments on cocktails for the upcoming halloween party. Gonna be a good time. I'll share recipes when I work them out!

Are CIG seriously doing another free flight thing? Do those even work anymore? How many more people can they rope in with a lovely tech demo?

However, my gut says selling copies of something that you don't own the IP to is a no-no.

BUT, also, it's Wig commandos the cartoon, something that less than a few dozen people care about. Also, Universal sold the distro rights to these guys, who put out a box set in 2012, so the rights are still active... http://www.visualentertainment.tv/

Bloody marys come to mind as well. I guess the question is does it have to be in the drink?

Not sure how you find these but they're really the best.  CIGs biggest enemy isn't a FUD campaign, it's CIGs inability to make a game. These posts don't help them make a game. Some overworked developer isn't eating cereal at his desk after another 16 hour crunch day reading that post and suddenly is becoming invigorated and sees the light. Game is buggy. Game is impossible to make. Derek, goons, FUD, that poster is half correct that none of them matter. We don't, Derek doesn't. It's that the game is impossible as advertised. Why can nobody talk about the condition of the game in connection to the things the people they bring up are talking about? That's kind of the whole point. Take out the reason these groups are talking and sure, it's crazy people going nuts! But add the reason in and the roles are kind of reversed. The people defending a non existent game with an impossible backlog and mechanics that encompass several dozen other FULL GAMES kind of makes it silly. Look at the game guys! Look at the lists! Hell, they suddenly added in a pool game out of thin air. What do you seriously think is going to happen, goons, Derek and "FUD" aside? I'm eager to know how it ends.  Also eager to see Star Citizen up against RDR2 since Rockstar may be the only ones capable of beating CIG. I'm sure it will be a real close race.

orcinus posted:The only thing worse than that was a Logitech G15 (the very first version) i had that had the paint come off completely from most of the keys, leaving them looking like someone (unsuccessfully) sharpied transparent keycaps black. My keycaps on the G15 were fine, but the LEDs started to give out. I did a ghetto replace with some ultrabright whites, but it was never the same, and the utility of the LCD screen was never realised. The G110 was slightly nicer without the display, but I'd already moved to Apple keyboards for work purposes, and the Corsair 'I have more money than sense' cherry click RGB monstrosity, mainly because color-cycling my keyboard is a strange and yet satisfying jam.

Like hands down. I'm not fond of Derek, but to classify ending up in the tropics as some kind of failure really misunderstands life near the arctic circle.

MeLKoR posted:They are perfectly matched. They are.  I can still put myself in his shoes at the beginning though, when all the hopes and dreams were more realistic and the project was logically scoped. He was working with his childhood hero. How cool is that? He's upheld the company line and fostered a community initially "marginal". If the game had come out as Chris originally thought, like 2+ years ago, the community may not have turned into what it is now. But they seeded it with elitism, where money made you powerful, fostered bad ideas and poor culture, and uplifted scumbags. Any and all criticism is bannable and not able to be openly spoken about. It's almost a textbook example of how not to set up a friendly and open community, where ideas and critics can not only live in harmony, but can help each other and the project. It's a mess. CR also has no involvement with the community outside of selling things, but people think he's reading their love letters. It'll either peter out after people have given all they'll give for nothing (or junk) in return, or it'll get hilariously violent.

Derek may be a dick but I really dont think he cares. I would hardly be calling him unsuccessful if he drives an aston martin and a tesla, has a wife and family. He puts out games and made a living off it. I mean we arent talking about a used car saleman here (CR) or someone who lives off disability payments.

intardnation posted:Derek may be a dick but I really dont think he cares. Making the "enemy" look more insignificant and pathetic than you is part of the mental steps in defeating him. Somebody posted a great post about that somewhere earlier in this thread. It's very much like wartime propaganda, and what people do without even thinking of it. Them admitting that Derek is highly successful even within his niche community and is living a great life in semi-retirement would cause them feelings of grief and insignificance themselves. Can't have that since only their posts can help Star Citizen become an actual game.

The irony is that, after all is said and done, they refuse to accept the simple fact that THEY were the ones who elevated me to the level of "Star Citizen Whisperer". I didn't have to do anything; other than write blogs, troll them on social media. They did all the work. And unlike CIG, I didn't have to pay anyone for promotion. They're rear end-clowns who are not only outmatched, outclassed, but also, out there.

Just about the only thing I can think of that would taste good with that insane Scandinavian murdersalt in it cocktail wise would be something very sweet and maybe apple flavored, with a fuckload of anise in it. And even then you'd have to already enjoy the taste of Salt Liquorice, which only T-Bibs does anyway. However, if we're talking regular salt, the first thing that comes to mind is tomato. So something like a tomato margarita or kicking up a Bloody mary by using a full gazpacho instead of just tomato juice would work. You could also go a different route and make a cool refreshing drink and rim the glass with a salt/chili powder mixture. e: the salt liquorice cocktail would almost 1000% be better as a shot, for anyone dumb enough to try and put one together. That's not a "sippin" drink for sure.
