If you don't already have one, consider picking up an Oculus while they are on sale for $400 for the hmd/controller bundle (comes w/some good games too) if you have a rig that will run it. Elite in VR with HOTAS is glorious and nearly worth the price of admission alone.

How Roberts operates is anyone's guess.

If he isn't a tad stressed or doesn't care about the company he is the devil incarnate.

Try to apply some personal profile on him (such as DISC) you'll find him has a high D/C.

The whole management structure is complete lunacy.

I love that CIG responded to the Star Marine furor with the Weekly Report... which got three installments before being unceremoniously abandoned.

And then not long after they decide to quell the 3.0 angst with the Schedule Report... only to drop the actual scheduling part of it and throw their hands in the air with "sorry, too few data points offer any guesses this week!"

Ironically I think this supports the Shitizen narrative that CRoberts is just an overly-optimistic, absent-minded genius fellow. He keeps repeating the same mistakes, assuming again and again that he'll be able to maintain focus on something long enough for it to work out.

I could've gone to Blatherwycke



In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems,
which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has
origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires
revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore
freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth
Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal
without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which
arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by
machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way
possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing
great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the
body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers
are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the
painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a
fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2
hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a
tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire
is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual
organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female,
they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would
pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders
would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they
would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity
in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would
scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second,
but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against
enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to
block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting
events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and
shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having
their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the
losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with
insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events,
by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the
muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a
painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not
sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of
it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be
imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just
for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into
behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished
by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written
into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered
will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the
most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond,
even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person
being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with
eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling
the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will
feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the
citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The
planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any
memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are
also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them,
including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and
anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All
prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched
into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum
insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the
lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes,
and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure
chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The
decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and
uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their
skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous
sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more
sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending
must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are
cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to
industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million
citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population
may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are
banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching
anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a
centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every
planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than
the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours
under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to
loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced
to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet
their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane
as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful
extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes
permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging
normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are
unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be
able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation
teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the
galactic space of this sickening empire.

Not directly - he moaned about people saying that the hologram tech "wasn't special and was something a whole bunch of other engines do". Which is pretty broad but when you consider that goons and backers are pretty much the only two camps of (English speaking) people still talking about Star Citizen it gets a bit narrower.
