CIG going belly up or not will not significantly influence the release of star citizen if you think about it.

It's me. I'm the person who will cry if CIG does get money constantly. I'm throwing money at them like candy at Mardi Gras and celebrate when this multinational corporation makes another clean 10mil for producing nothing. It's because they are like family to me and we have a special relationship through their YouTube account and I love them dearly and send them food and drinks because I can't stomach them working on the best drat space sim without being lavishly rained upon with fringe benefits.

It's already a AAAA game too and I love it and play it non stop and no you can't have my in game name because I'm an important player. Only MoMA knows who I really am but he'll never tell, because his mission here is complete with Derek gone. That FUD spreader.

People like Ben and Lando make it easy to take a laugh out of their misfortune due to all the bad karma they seeded for themselves.

The German word that comes to mind is Schadenfreude, everyones favorite.

Clifford on the other hand makes me feel uncomfortable on a human level. I feel like asking him what the hell went wrong in his life that he has to fill emptiness with jerking off companies PR departments on Twitter. It also makes me uncomfortable thinking how much money humanity can waste on poo poo that not only doesn't fulfill a greater purpose, but not even a personal gain. It's proudness about filling someone elses pocket who neither needs nor deserves it. Makes me uncomfortable personally.

If I had to chose a German word for Clifford it would be Fremdschämen.

In German, we even got better words (nouns) for these persons:
- Opfer (literally means victim, in context it is about a person who does dumb things and does not even realize how dumb because this person is dumb as well and/or plain ignorant and does not get why everyone is laughing at him/her)
- Vollpfosten (literally full post, dumb as a Goal post, this person is a complete tool or idiot)
- Poser (person who wants to get attention by showing or posting stuff in hope to make others jealous)
- Lachnummer (person who is ridiculous and pathetic)

Abba recently made a comeback with 2 new songs scheduled for release this year. Chris decided to ask them to write the SC themesong and gave them a suggestion to start with. Goes something like this:

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (your money after midnight)
Don't hold it in your wallet but pledge it to me

I'm sure we can write the whole themesong together!

This is kind of a trick question.

First, not a single ship if fully functional.

Second, most of the ships that are flyable are either small ships and variants. Here, have a handy reference of which medium to large ships are there:



Third, nothing outside pew-pew has been implemented for the ships to do.

Ah game development takes time, stupid goon. Sure it’s been six years and they keep announcing new content and features with nothing to show for it like a crack-addled Molyneux, but SPACE GAME

I'd go with Minderwertigkeitskomplex, actually. Clifford obviously wants people to a) recognize him and b) communicate with him. Now, I haven't studied this guy or his twitter messages, because whenever I started scrolling through them, it was as bad as scrolling through the ones of Ben or his wife in regard to their weight.

He comes across as someone who somehow has a lot of disposable income, but failed to find his place in society....like his inner voice tells him he needs to be famous, and the same voice tells him that the only leverage he has on this is due to the money he can spend, which is one thing which differentiates him from the next guy.

The sad thing is, he is now so fixated on basing all of his presence in this world on the amount of money he spends on stuff (Star Citizen, VR Headsets, Fans...), that he completely lost track about what he actually tries to bring across.

He tries so hard to be an "influencer" (how I hate this term), but he doesn't even know what he wants people to influence with (is this an english sentence? I don't think so, but whatever).

He, as well as Ben, does not realize that his postings on twitter might evoke sadness at best, complete lack of understanding at worst.

Both think they are cool and whatnot, showing the whole world what's wrong with them.

It would be sad, if it wouldn't be so loving funny

This 27k package made me realize that I’m doing it all wrong. My wife just convinced me we need to buy a ‘grown up’ car (we’re in our 40’s). I refuse to buy new cars but we compromised on a 2017 Audi A4 Teknik. It’s nice. It has a heads up display, a digital context sensitive dash, a 12” ‘mobi’ style screen, semi-autonomous driving. After some haggling and trade in of our lovely old car it cost us 32k Canadian. Or, to put it in perspective, 91% of the new Legato package (35k CAD).

...

My real life HUD/AI enabled vehicle is 10% cheaper than Crobbers JPG package. This is loving hilarious to me on so many levels.

Uhm....you became an Audi driver....you realize the better decision would have been to spend it on Star Citizen, right?

Gonna go ahead and call that the next concept ship they sell is some kind of specialized dropship for the mech suits.

Hmm. But you know those dropships will be big, and slow, and probably not able to go between places easily. So what we need then is an even bigger ship to carry dropships. Stick with me here now for this totally original idea. But you know these dropships can theoretically park on this huge ship that can ferry them long distances. We could call this monster a jumpship.

Just wait until we load up all these exoskeletons and robot "suits" inside these puppies.

No franchise has reached its zenith of popularity until star citizen has ripped it off.
