Chris Roberts, CEO of Cloud Imperium Games, literally called the website for his games, Star Citizen and SQ42, robertsspaceindustries.com. Hes a giant tool.

RSI= Roberts Space Industries. And its like the Mary Sue of spaceship companies where they have all the cool poo poo.

I get the sinking feeling that the RSI line of ships are the "High quality, high price" porsche equivalents in the SC world? In SC lore is RSI founded by visionary Chris Roberts?

IIRC I linked it to something incredibly racist, but that was some time ago and my brain can barely retain information it received in the past week

I could see MISC standing for Musashi Industrial Shipping Concern. I had the pleasure to work for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for a year (working on cardboard box making machines. Oh so boring!), and Mitsubishi was the shipyard that created the Musashi and Yamato. Mitsubishi actually started out as a shipping company, and at one point their name was Mitsubishi Gōshi Kaisha, which roughly translates to "Mitsubishi commerce company/corporation". So, I could see that MISC is somewhat clever, if not completely unoriginal.

TheLightPurges: Sep 24, 2016; by exmarx

When I graduated high school I moved out of state to a fairly well paying industrial job. I got bad social anxiety and depression so it wasn't exactly the best experience. I moved up there by myself, lived on my own, and didn't know anybody up there. I think if anyone else was given the opportunity of a clean slate with a well paying 9-5 job they would excel; not me though.

I don't got much experience talking to anyone, more specifically the ladies. I'm addicted to porn and I hate it. I often masturbate 4 times a day to any fetishes you can imagine. So since this was the first time I lived on my own, I decided to get a little frisky and buy a toy.

I bought this giant replica rear end/vagina replica of some porn star I can't remember and a couple starter dildos for the prostate off Adam and Eve.

Well the dildos came in first so I used them. I was feeling a little constipated earlier in the day but didn't think nothing of it. After reaching climax I took the dildo out, stood up and there was a small puddle of poo. Instead of cleaning it up I just slept on the opposite side of the bed for 4 months.

I was really excited when my rear end came in. I named her Susan. I had never used anything like it before, the pleasure was amazing. The first 6 times were great, but after a while she started to stink because I didn't clean her out.

I remember leaving one weekend to visit my family back home and when I came back it was like a horror scene. Fruit flies were everywhere, they were coming straight out of Susan's Anus. The stench of dried lube and rotten cum was too much....

I spent well into the triple digits on Susan though so I got one last round in. It was weird taking that shower and having to wash off dead fruit flies off my dick.

Anyway, that was about 8 years ago now and Star Citizen is still the most hosed up thing I've ever seen.

Hey guys, reminder that i got doxxed by the chillotopia that is the star citizen megathread because i pointed out its not normal to spend months carefully and obsessively following people online to laugh at their family, posting graphs because the number is funnier than the other numvber or doxxing people, which has happened before in this thread by an ex mod. I hope you all realize how insane this is.

Do you have any actual proof of this doxxing? Because if not, shut the gently caress up, Trent.

"With Star Marine being a total success on the PTU with 2.6, and the release of the Caterpillar and other ships that are being offered in the holiday sale i cant begin to explain my jubilant mindset. CIG has delivered once again. CIG thank you for doing the crunch and getting this out playable!

For anyone who doesn't know all subscribers got access to 2.6. If you haven't already i would pay the minor $10.00 fee and subscribe and get in star marine. It's flawless. The craftsmanship and polish that CIG have displayed in 2.6 and star marine is amazing. The flight controllers now feel enjoyable, and you can really see where this game is going! This patch alone should bring in a huge revenue for CIG. I know for me, after playing Star Marine and Arena Commander with 2.6 flight model, i immediately went out and bought a few new ships!
I am now the proud owner of a Caterpillar and Misc Razer.

CIG, I have one wish.

Please start selling concept sales for Star Marine, and other FPS gear."

I like the hell out of you, but, I have to ask... WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT? Tell me to not imagine something? I am going to have to go take a shitposting break to scrub myself bloody under scalding hot water (I doubt it will make the shuddering pass though).

Wrecked Angle posted:

That's actually a rather cunningly devious plan from CIG if that's their intention.

Make 2.6 subscriber only over the holidays to ensure every backer feels the need to sub.
In the new year, start pushing more exclusive subscriber content citing the large numbers of subs as justification.
Gradually treat the non-subs worse and worse. Big (well.. bigger! lol) delays until they get any new release, gated off content on the Spectrum?

Congratulations, you've basically ~~transitioned to~~ adopted the subscriber model for your buy-to-play game. Wait a few months, hike the price a bit more and continue to treat the non-sub customers like dogshit and you're there.

e. I realise that CIG basically started down this road months ago with the sub/non-sub divide but it's the leaving 2.6 & SM access over Xmas which will really force peoples hand.

Hardy harhar--CIG never, ever planned a live release before Christmas. I'll bet you the 2.6 patch goes to the PTU--where anyone with a subscription can play. Where I'm sure it will sit for a month or so before the free, live release. Gotta get that $10 out everyone.

If you could some up everything in this letter to a single, concise, point, it would be that. You have lost our trust. Your practices and decisions, NOT the rate of development or the ambition of the project, are the cause of this. Yet you don�t seem to get that. As I said in the beginning, I�m not just some random or self-entitled voice here. Many of you have spoken at great length with me. Many of you and the community know me. I want this project to succeed. I want it to succeed so badly I could cry. But I�m also not a fool. Remember, CIG, that we, the community, your customers, are the watchman that will try to keep you from falling into all the bad business practices that plague this industry. It is your job to listen to us and to take us seriously. Because without us, you�are nothing but yet another failed crowdfunded project. So, I stand here, pleading with tears in my eyes, fix yourselves. Please.
