True to my prediction of CiG deliberately keeping the PU unplayable, threads on the spectrum report dozens of AI ships constantly spawning, bringing the servers to their knees. Days later, not fixed, when commenting one line would probably do it. Somehow they even managed to create a bug that resembles a defective video card, but isn't, because multiple people have reported it.

They might be getting loving dunked on endlessly on twitter, but the faithful are eating this poo poo up wholesale. From the way reddit is going on, you'd think this was a joint venture.

There's seven threads about the SpaceX launch on the front page of reddit right now, and if you go into them more than half the comments seem like half-desperate attempts to link the two projects in some way. The other half are talking about how awesome it's gonna be when CIG adds the roadster to the Sol system as an easter egg, despite CIG not having anything even resembling the Sol system yet.

Don't even get me started on Chris Roberts and the Sol system.

It just reminds me of that extended cut of the Freelancer opening someone posted in this thread where directly after the launch of the colony ships he revealed the alien bad guys of the game and had them destroy the entire Solar System. So Starlancer was pointless because the Alliance lost anyway and the war was pointless because the entire solar system was deleted.

MoMA has a point: 2011 doesn't really count as dev time since it was literally all done by Crytek to help CIG secure funding.

So from now on we should say "Five years, because Chris Roberts straight up loving lied about having any dev work done in 2011 lmao get a loving refund you idiots" any time we are discussing the dev time.

Maybe just shorten it to "lol" though, cause that's a lot of words.

I'm no bitcoin enthusiast, but can somebody explain in layman terms whats so good about it and why's it so hyped to hell right now?

Also Star Citizen is good, buy an Idris!

But it's not just "people". Bitcoin main demographics are nerds, scammers, druggies, criminals, and libertarians (usually all five packed together in a bundle of joy) so its success was guaranteed. As for what it is or what it does, it doesn't matter as long as you can buy low and sell high.

I mean nothing is going on so I'm not complaining about the bitcoin chat here but anyone interested in understanding how stupid it really is or making fun of it can come to the GBS mock thread to pool our laughter.

This might be more applicable in two days when the thread devolves into legal semantics and Derek screeching about how someone, somewhere told him something before anyone else knew it and you are unable to properly mock bitcoins here.

So lemme muse about the fated MTD, the Friday of pain foretold many months ago.

Citizens have absolutely convinced themselves through their own ignorance and delusion that the Crytek suit will be dismissed on Friday. I'm a way, they've projected all their feelings towards this little scam into this suit. Packaged neatly into this hearing is simultaneously the total confidence and zeal behind SC and oddly enough all their fears and doubts.

The dismissal of the suit will happen simply because it MUST, because I the backer believe everything I believe about Star Citizen. Crytek in this way represents all the FUD. If the MTD is denied, that both validates the FUD, and brings bubbling to the surface the idea that the backer himself may be wrong about SC.

In reality the 12b6 MTD will be denied because even a layperson can see that there is a claim stated and that claim is a matter for the courts. That's all this in reality, a relatively minor procedural first-step in any non-frivolous/meritorious litigation. It doesn't really mean anything yet in the larger scale beyond that there is a case to be heard here.

BUT a citizen sees this as an attack on Star Citizen, and through narcissistic rage sees the lawsuit as an attack on the self. Even a simple MTD hearing is a titanic struggle of truth vs lie, faith v FUD to invest emotion in.

For these reasons if the MTD is granted it is a massive validation of the product itself for the citizen.

If the MTD is denied basically the sky is falling and it will cause backers to rage so loving hard. Monumental amounts of fear and doubt and anger. We will see every comments section, every subreddit, every thread explode in activity. That means for a weekend we will get to chase that schadenfreud high again, for the last time for a while, until trial at least, inshallah

This is really the reasonable thing to hope for:

Accusations of bribery or coersion

Letter writing campaign to the court

Some in-too-deep citizen will probably actually suggest harm to the judge.

An extended campaign of harassment against anything Crytek is tangentially involved with (except Lumberyard)

Maybe even bugging Bezos to save them.

Nah man. You seem to forget once again and rather conveniently I may add, that when Chris decided to beg the internet for money since no publisher would touch him with a ten foot pole he told everyone that he had been working on it for a year prior to that. So which is it? Did it start in 2011 or is Chris a liar? It' cannot be both.
