I ain't writing a 5 page essay to stir up reddit. I'll just post "Star citizen is bad" or c/p a funny post here.

If you find yourself writing paragraphs, odds are you are not trolling, and are putting effort in due to personal investment.

Yes, the game that is years overdue sure did show up those other games that actually came out. Also, I hope the game never comes out.

Star Citizen chased COD away from futuristic shooters. Its not like they made like 5 in a row and decided to stop. No. Star citizen showed them all up with how epic star marine was.

But wait. I thought game dev took 7 years minimum.

This week's comm link: (My god, what a flaccid cock of effort put into this one)

quote:

Short, sweet, and to the point this week.

The Banu Defender concept sale finishes up today. It was a unique sale in that we got to support it not just with a dedicated ATV segment the day before, but a Town Hall in the middle, both a Jump Point magazine and Vault Update for Subscribers with the BTS of it’s development and unused concept images, and finally one of the most robust Q&A we’ve gotten to do towards the end. There was no shortage of information this sale, and I think it’ll become a template for how we support the amazing work our developers are doing going forward.

In community shows, this week sees Gaige Hallman take on the Quantum Questions challenge and community member Nighthawk Zale discusses his tabletop creation, Traverse the ‘Verse while Dave Haddock explores the Rilah System in Loremaker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This week’s ATV comes to us from Austin and Montreal, while the Happy Hour Interview will be your chance to put questions directly to another of our developers. Stay tuned for the specific time later this week.

With that, we’ll see you in the ‘verse.

I automatically skimmed over this before, but this is barely english. It's CIG created words with english language structure in between.

If you actually take the time to look at the words, it's completely insane.

Star Citizen that was close to the 'inner circle' as he had a fetish for designing spaceships; The Polaris was one of his designs, and he was a fairly prolific poster. I believe that he was also over here for a while.

Also a personal windmill and lazy hook in the water for concern posting.

See this is how you do it. But you lose points because anyone can go to a place and say insanely stupid things.

Like I got banned from RSI for saying I think its highly unlikely that 3.0 would come out in December and Chris probably knows that.

One sentence. Normal opinion, people flipped out and I got banned for ten years from their site. True Trolling.

Yup, doesn't even have to actually be trolling. Short form effortless responses are the best way to deal with people who clearly are ideologically motivated to have no interest or attention in your argument.
