You got your account banned notting got to do with me your account got banned so long after I sold it to you that ive sold every other account I was selling I dont even sell accounts anymore this is from another shop on another website notting got to do with this and how come your the only person with problems with the account no one else and I no all the **** you were saying behind my back I was told everything im not telling you his name so you can spread stuff about him aswell and I no how you changed your story about 2 or was it 3 times I am not wasting anymore time talking with you.

I will not solve an issue that has notting got to do with me. I sold the account to you and you had it for weeks maybe it go banned for threats like the ones you sent me?

Your started the insults maybe you should practice what you preach. I have ships there for sale if you are looking

I have never heard of half these sites, its getting weird with underground black markets and stolen accounts and bitcoin trades and naked pic trades and holy poo poo was a loving cesspit

This seems as good an opportunity to educate on the topic as I'll get, so I'll take it.  The ongoing narrative conflict has long been more nuanced than Cymelion gives it credit. Beer, for example, isn't a Troll, he's a Believer turned Heretic. When you see all disagreement as simply trolling of two flavors, high and low, you're missing valuable distinctions -- distinctions which can clarify one's understanding of the diverse ecosystem we're all a part of (him included.)

Allow me to explain in infographic:



Circulation is welcomed but credit isn't needed nor really even desired. It's not especially helpful since it biases so many unnecessarily. They might otherwise find it illuminating, which is the hope.

I'm definitely inching towards the Red Crew at this point.

I can't believe there isn't a poo poo load more of stuff like this with the grey market trading. I'd expect stuff like this constantly. That it happens so rarely, it's almost like there's something suspicious about the grey market activity.

Just play the base game, it serves remarkably well. I don't have the DLC myself, but there's no need for it when you begin. I hear pretty good things about them however.

Stellaris is one of the more accessible x4 games out there. For your first race I recommend you select the trait, "Rapid Breeders," but ultimately just go with what seems fun to you.

Yes, it's quite good. You could always check out some of the videos from when Paradox streamed it, though, so you know a bit more what to expect.

what the gently caress is MGTOW, you ask? Well, don't feel bad, I didn't know either

sometimes I forget just how awful the majority of the people are that support this loving game

thanks for the reminder sc_trades

Of all the poo poo holes on Reddit MGTOW is one of the foulest. A bunch of self loathing edgelords, misogynists, and losers all telling each other that all their life's woes are the fault of those feeeemales who they totally don't care about, but somehow spend all their time posting about.

It's like a 7 year old going through the "girls are gross" phase somehow got supercharged with the hatred of a chapter of the KKK.

And yesterday apparently he's tweeting out that MMO's are hard, and that you shouldn't make them.

It's not a huge thing, it's just funny how quickly the tweets went from "oh joy, working for CIG" to "this is complicated and hard".

This seems like it is missing "Gawkers"? Pretty sure the project is going to fail, not particularly interested in seeking out chances to criticize it. Enjoying the pageantry of the long slow collapse. Benefitting from the insider conversations about game development, scams, and such that accompanies the larger flow of conversation.

And then maybe also "NEED A WORD HERE": Backed the project, then largely forgot about it. Haven't given the project much thought one way or the other.

Though I guess neither of those groups are voices, particularly.

I'm on the opposite side of agnostic where I don't care about whether the game is good or not and I'm only here to laugh at all the idiots, be they Derek or Chris. The important part is to find a way to feel superior to the rest of the chart.

Would that be the troll category? Like, I enjoy laughing at this poo poo, but I'm not going to go post on reddit about it. I guess if the game came out I would buy it to mess with people, so I'm putting myself in troll category. Just really low effort troll.

I don't care enough to fake or overreact to anything since there's plenty of hilarious stuff already so I don't think so. If the game came out I would totally be griefing the poo poo out of people though.
