"In spite of your efforts," Sandi says, "I am giving myself a raise. Now get the gently caress out of my office before I act inappropriately," she states. Her knuckles turn white as she grips her award in fury as Ben Lesnik's visage shuffles away from Sandi, shuffles away from the dream, shuffles away from the office and quite possibly shuffles off the mortal coil he is stuck on, like so many aborted candy bars within vending machines, unbroken by Derek's wrath yet trapped within the machine. Sandi's effort to kill him had failed, no donut or quarantine could slay the beast, and so she had to let her loathsome quarry go...yet Sandi held a cruel smile upon her lips as she looked to her award for her efforts. No, he did not get away, Sandi thinks to herself as she looks upon her own pleasing reflection, that hillock of a man is doomed to fall or remain forever, stalled and frozen without hope of progress like the ships he was once master of...he would be immersed in Chris Robert's work forever. Sandi shuddered at thought of it. "At least a divorce is possible if things go really badly for me,' she says to herself as she puts the award back at pride of place upon her desk, "For him? We've left him nothing but dreams and memories." "One down, a million backers to go," Sandi says. The thought tickles her, and she considers when she might be able to speak German to an audience again as Lesnik is birthed into a cruel world where no news-reporter would ever reciprocate his affections.

It's like that cool door they made with garage door parts and some ply wood lying around, it's that scrappy attitude that'll surely see this game release as one of the all time greatest.

CrazyTolradi posted:Look, the copy paper and coffee filters are sound absorbing material that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's really just another great example of Chris Roberts' amazing financial acumen. To be honest I shocked myself with the worst kind of electricity commenting on how they handle their development. But I will say they also ran down the hallways with a microphone to get sweet Star Marine audio footage.

Can we award bonus points if the writer of the article responds with : "Are you Mrs 'Relic' the owner of CIG or an official representative in any shape or form? No? Off you gently caress then cringo."

"For wasting the time of everyone for a period lasting longer than two weeks, Mister Smart, I am hereby sentancing you to an unusual and perhaps cruel punishment. While you are indeed correct that Chris Roberts and those associated within him and his enterprise did attempt and in large parts succeed to dupe and con their audience, you have done much to frustrate those who would seek entertainment and satisfaction from this entire debacle. I sentence you to spend fourteen days in isolation, in a specially designed cell which has absolutely no echo and a gramophone." Derek blinks three times before the question is asked. "What's with the gramophone your honour?" The judge smiles warmly, almost sympathetically as he leans in to explain, "How else are we going to play that broken record?"

The Titanic posted:You realize this is basically exactly what happens here too. We even have guys who dig deep to find totally unrelated trash these guys do to post about it here for ridicule and mockery. Sorry to come back to this but it's bugging me. Paying $10 to join a forum does not inoculate you from being an idiot or worse. Fuzzy Modem was a goon,  & Karl are goons. Paying thousands for a pc game that will never live up to it's hype is not a wise decision, some idiots still dispute this basic fact. People posting about it here are generally a different type of idiot that find this poo poo funny.I struggle to see how anyone can see two sides here unless one is sanity and the other is the complete lack of it. You can't boil it down to "well, we are all the same really", no we're loving not, at this point in time, Star Citizen is clearly a scam, just accept that at one point in time you fell for it and you'll be much happier. If you can't laugh at yourself you're not going to enjoy the end times as much as you could.

hot balls man no homo posted:Any mention of lawsuits? Disastrous live streams? Land and/or tank sales? 3.0 completely making GBS threads the bed and rolling around in it at 5 fps?  What an interesting highlight reel after this most eventful year. They managed to excrete a heavily-gutted, performance-impaired 3.0 release (“the one we want to get right so that new players will join in”) over a year late, served up the also over a year late Squadron 42 vertical slice, introduced a demo of Face Over IP and procedural city tech with no reliable release dates attached, had a ton of ship sales, added the new pre-sale for a protection racket scheme, still didn’t add playable the female characters they’ve been talking about since 2013, got publicly hit with a frightfully comprehensive lawsuit from a prior vendor, helped usher in a new era of bemused skepticism about the project that was once the purported salvation of PC Gaming, and — after nearly a year of grim downward fund trending experienced a miraculous 11th hour turnaround to set them on course for continued presumptions of financial good health and ongoing organic demand not reflected anywhere else on the Internet. Oh well. I guess Star Citizen is good again.
