I once spent like 5k to build a rad simpit for simracing (hardware + software + building the simpit). I tend to not disclose this figure if no other gamers are around, and even then I feel stupid for doing so. I sit in this stupid simpit for - I guess - about six to ten hours a week (racing, elite dangerous) and would sit in there even more if I'd had the time. Still, I try to hide that thing from most people because they can't understand why I spend my money on this poo poo. I built this thing two and a half years ago, and it is still rad, and I see no need to upgrade apart from maybe going to a vive pro (which is - if I understand it correctly - the price of two SC tanks) Imagine spending three times of that on a non-game, where you can't use 75% of the poo poo you bought, and then boasting about it on twitter.....

I think we all remember the time/money/energy triangle for home projects. For star citizen you would have to add a fourth dimension which somehow results in failure even if you invest a lot of time, money and energy.

Yes, Skadden, one of the most respected law firms in the world, is going to lie in a court filing. Ok, man, sure.

That's what he appears to be saying. Except that he can't write off any of that poo poo unless he is involved in the video game business, giving to charity etc. I can't wait until his rear end gets audited at some point. ----------------

Clifford seem like a real nice affable guy. He doesn't come across like a miserable person as many of the shitizens do. I hope only the best for him. The guy worries me, though. He's the friend you genuinely like, but you regularly side eye, because he's the weird friend.

"Your honor, It was totally a cult. I submit Stimpier.txt as Exhibit A" "Your honor, They were charitable contributions distributed to the mentally unwell!" "Your honor, My client was temporarily insane for a half decade!"

Yeah, the other guys like Bunnyman, Greasy Knock-Off Han Solo, Toiletking, Sir CPAP, and Clingfilm Terminator you know will do nothing but whine and make meek threats from their parent's basement once this goes tits up. But Miku, that guy will keep smiling his affable smile and look at you with his puppy eyes while he carves you up like a christmas turkey.

If you've had your account hacked - how long did it take for CIG to recover it?reddit posted:I reported mine hacked on the 1st of January. It's been 20 days - I sent an email a week ago asking if there was an update but got no reply. All ships gifted away? reddit posted:So two weeks ago I got an email that I gifted all my ships away. I hadnt touched that account for over half a year minimum, but I contacted support immediatly. However I still am waiting for a response, so my question is what to do. I for sure won't be playing this game if I don't get then back. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/7rxo69/hey_there_noob_here_backed_the_game_like_a/ reddit posted:I don't follow it.

That dude Wulf, from back in the day, used to display very similar characteristics. His march towards a completionist package was an event for which he was very vocal, in the sense of mentioning it multiple times per hour per day in the old chat system. He laid a claim that telling people how much he had spent would encourage others to do the same and that he had a pride in having spent some of the most among backers. The repeated boasts would invariably draw a great deal of reaction from participants, especially when seasoned with insistence that he was wont to gift things he didn't need to persons who had little. I'm sure the implications and drive of these performances are evident on their own without some kind of hamfisted breakdown on my part. It's an extremely weird hobby and a singularly unsettling means of attempting to derive satisfaction.

On its own this would've merely been hilarious, but I'd say it was far more unsettling that he derived satisfaction from gifting said ships to the few  (married or otherwise) within the community, including one that proved to have catfished him for around 1k. I am sure this tendency of his had nothing to do with his marriage being in tatters and him having undergone things like electroshock therapy, all by his own admission on reddit.It does make me wonder just how many of these proud commandos have stories like this or like that other guy whose wife divorced him and took the kids specifically due to him emptying the bank account for Star Citizen.

What you're doing by pledging money is allowing it to happen in 2014 or 2015 rather than 2017, 2018. Umm and so the way that I see it is if you really like this game and you want to see it be fleshed out as quickly as possible and you want us to be able to do more stuff with it umm y'know in 2017, 2018 then y'know keep on pledging.'

Welcome to the

Only gifts to actual charities are relevant to taxes. Even if his main income comes from game design, he could only claim the base package cost as a business expense, not the cost of the DLC, since that isn't necessary for evaluating competitors' games. Although he is a very silly and delusional man, my guess is that he is just bragging and isn't actually going to try to deduct any of that. Hope his wife files separately in any case

You know those people are a bit portly but they can't help but balance everything on their front feet, especially because they have lovely footwear? Like a constant lean? Yeah.
