At least whales in other games have the excuse of it being 20 or 50 dollars here, 100 dollars there. But as a massive tight-wad, the idea of spending 15k on a game breaks my mind.

Even if I had a million dollars, I'd scoff at it. No way would I spend 1.5% of my million on a game.


This. There's no amount of wealth that makes buying into a game for $15k normal or ok. If you hate money that badly you just want to set it on fire, at least spend it in a direction that might make the world a better place.






Propping up a hasbeen director and his wannabee actress wife's vanity projects don't count.

Something bad happened in Virginia that brought down S3. The dashboard indicators were stored on S3, which meant that the aws dashboard was green across the board until they fixed the indicator.

Root cause is unknown, but is probably getting a talking to.

Numenera was launched today, BTW.

What blows my mind about this is that Titanfall 2 for example seems to have significantly more lag when it comes to gunfire and seems totally fine, and yet Star Marine's gunfire seems utterly disconnected to the actions of the player. Maybe it's just that Titanfall is a sharper experience overall so you don't notice it, whereas Star Marine is so loving janky that it all piles up and the game crashes whenever you try and shoot the Bad Commando(TM)?

1) TToN released way late.

3) Now has his own crowdfunding platform.
4) Bards Tale...they are fighting over a basic pledge item of delivering the remastered versions with a third party. Lot of drama with that with he said she said but basically blaming the third party.
