I want to play a game where I have to work eight to ten hours a day, doing menial tasks, saving up enough in-game currency so that maybe one or twice a year I can do something exciting or see a new place or experience a whole different culture

maybe even go on big vessels that float on water or ships (maybe airships?) that can cut through the skies taking me thousands of miles away

Earth Citizen is a pretty good game, not too much clipping, but then again there are the horrifying and sickening truths of the Trumpire, so :shrug:

The new narrative is that there is actually no set time for ATV release.

This is widely swallowed because its always late. However there is a set time and its 3pm pst.

Sasparrilla that awesome ED sotry you wrote netted a massive -59 karma. It was posted on a moderately trafficed thread in the middle of the comments section.

It hit a nerve. Unfortunately for touchdowntim55 he no longer can post without mod approval. Which for the most part means banned.

So congrats.

Wow, I hadn't actually seen the reactions. Sorry it burned your account. They're so mad! I really don't get it, it wasn't even a mean spirited post, I was just kind of laughing at the idea that my disappointment in Elite must be what prompts me to hang out and watch the Star Citizen garbage fire.

Ironically enough, I can't post there under my main account either, for a couple of years now. Not for trolling, either- I got downvoted into mod-approval status just for voicing ideas like "Hey maybe they should stop adding features and finish what they've already sold." Stuff that, today, is kind of the standard of discourse for most of those threads. It actually gives me hope for their future- on a long enough timeline, even the hardest of die hards are going to figure out that they aren't getting that game.

You're forgetting the Crobberts micromanagement that's made Star Citizen the great success that it is today! I'm guessing with the Crobberts vision, that little texture is the result of months of high fidelity tweaks, refactoring and constant vague suggestions.

To me it's funny that Loiosh keeps reading the thread, keeps up to date with the disaster that is SC citizen, but will never, ever, get a refund, even if all the triggers for him to get one have already been pressed about 15 times by now.

No worries its all in fun. My account was +250 at one point without even trying. I felt like giving away in this thread that it was a goon account and all of sudden every post it made no matter how innocuous got a shitton of downvotes. They follow the hell out of this thread lol.

They will literally do everything they can possibly do except actually make a video game. Even guys in a garage in Siberia can make a game if they're talented and dedica-

Oh! Sorry. Guess that's a sore spot.

Yeah. Go market your Hello Kitty with a dick pointing at the viewer. That's pretty much the epitome of classy artwork that looks like somebody easily spent almost 15 minutes in illustrator making it.

If I believed in conspiracies--I'd think CIG was ready to go with reputation management before turning off their forums. My hunch was less than happy backers flock to Reddit to voice displeasure on the lack of forums. But it appears to be the opposite. Posts making jokes at CIG's expense instead of the recent trend of a few upvotes are getting slammed with a couple dozen plus down votes since CIG moved to the Spectrum.
