Timeline of Events:
The patient was a 38 year old American male with no significant past medical history, save for a dire blood infection brought on by morbid obesity. Called EMS with shortness of breath and chest pain. Upon EMS arrival, patient was tachypneic at 40 breaths per minute with oxygen saturation of 90%. At the scene, EMS administered breathing treatments and checked lung sounds that did not reveal any evidence of fluid in the lung fields. EMS also reports patient was agitated upon their arrival at his residence, strapped to a virtual reality headset screaming: "IT'S REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!" Two minutes after arrival at UTMB at 1500, the patient became unresponsive, apneic, and had oxygen saturations from 80-90%. The patient’s heart rate decreased to asystole, was intubated with good breath sounds and air movement.

Patient then had wide complex bradycardia and ACLS protocol for pulseless electrical activity was followed for 45 minutes. The patient was administered TPA with no improvement. Bedside echocardiogram was unable to be performed, due to abnormal celluloid deposits. The patient was administered D5W, Narcan, and multiple rounds of epinephrine and atropine, calcium chloride, and sodium bicarbonate. The patient had three episodes of ventricular trachycardia/fibrillation with cardioversion/defibrillation resulting in asystole. The patient was pronounced dead at 1605 with fixed, dilated pupils, no heart sounds, no pulse and no spontaneous respirations save for one audible: "PAAAAAARP" just prior to death.

What did they do? Like anything SC streamer related I can never keep track of all the different factions. At one point it was literally INN vs INN.

The writers decided to leave and make their own site. On the way they stole the patreon, twitter account, brands/logos, etc from the IP owner wulf. They also trashed the original INN website on the way out. Illegal as gently caress. They changed their name to relay.

I look forward to when SC allows VR. You can't handwave motion sickness and goodness knows what other ailments from having such a craptastic engine. Oh it's just alpha, migranes, vomiting and wooziness are to be expected. Bring on VR and let the citizens enjoy 24fps and the juddering nightmare as close to their face as possible.

Also the battletech system allowing for wrecked mech parts to be used against one another is incredible.

The cultist line from now on is that VR is not up to par with CIG. If anything goes wrong it was the fools who forced them to implement VR before VR was ready.

I don't think there is any need for this. If you think Chris actually codes things, then you also likely think he plays his game. :(

I wish all this money could have went to a developer who actually cares about games.

he codes all night, sandi said so, you shitlord. get your pubes outta here


What actually is Chris Roberts job? What role does he perform? I know it originally was 'gently caress with the artists and everyone else so they quit'. I felt like he backed away from that at some point since a few things got released. Full time movie man?

I'm sure they're not logging into a pool of random accounts and poo poo posting love everywhere on the reddit thing and the internet. Kind of like that Huxley person just happening to post about Star Citizen everywhere. I'm sure it's definitely not a paid professional marketer. :ohdear:

Any one who ever funded this has some level of blame to themselves.

OK, so I'm still seething over the "Forefather" statement.

I'm going to say something that is in no way meant to be an exaggeration.

Asteroids on the Atari 2600 is a more realistic space sim than Wing Commander.

I know the games industry is more laid back but you are the multimillionaire owner of an international corporation with a few hundred employees.

At least go business casual.

Edit: The reason this matters is because as a CEO perception is a huge part of your job. If you show up to meetings in a sweatshirt and shorts like a slovenly douche, your employees are gonna take that as a cue that you don't give a gently caress/the company is poorly run. If you have meetings with suppliers or sponsors and you show up like that they're gonna think way less of you as a company. Fucker can't even dress himself.

It's the most (only time?) I've been annoyed about a shithead statement from a citizen, it's offensive, rude and it's giving high credit where it simply isn't due.
