Nope, nor 'strailia,

my "mixed news" today, part of it was finding out I don't actually Have to die in a gutter due to the govt of the UK's lickspittle Dept for Work and Pensions "not receiving" a Dr's Letter saying, "yeah, Staberind is actually still ill enough to require a home visit, like the past three times we have repeated the same thing".

Although not by "actual design", this countries govt still relishes killing off the poor every winter.

Someone made a meme using a publicly available image. The wording on the gate is straight out of the Star Citizen concierge card, as is the ship in the background. I shared it because I thought it was funny. I simply don't care that some people find it offensive because I'm not responsible for their feelz, neither is my social media feed their safe space.

Me? I don't care for outrage culture. I grew up on Usenet. Nothing fazes me.

People who find it so offensive should go around the net advocating for the removal of any/all such images.

Anyone who's vocally backing the project at any rate. I'm sure there are a lot of people who might have pledged a relatively small amount and forgot or wrote it off at this point; we don't hear from them because by definition they don't care enough to be heard.

We know the whales are being milked hard to fund the game, but I wonder what percentage of to-date revenue that accounts for, versus the smaller, one-and-done backers who put in years ago and never bothered following up. At this point that money's spent, but I can't help but feel that as much as passion by the idiots is propping the scam, a material fraction of it is implicitly relying on the apathy of the small fry, who as a body didn't ask for their money back.

Hi bruv, I don't come into the thread so much,
I like and respect the seriousposters that do come in and offer interesting insider views, or prof Smarts lunatic zeal and so on.
I actually got Des's first "smarties" gangtag for him way back when, because this is entertaining. of course that tag is gone due to hijinx, which can be entertaining itself sometimes.

But you seem to have something more personal in this, this is not fun for you. if you need to talk, or get something off your chest, get yourself plat and slip me a pm, we can discuss what ails you. friend goon.

E; whups, actually, ignore all the above.

lets see if you can get this :
Terrible event in human history : bad
Comedy take on such an event: pretty common around here, either, depending on how you feel.
Meltdown due to above comedy take on event: golden.
