Ursine Catastrophe posted:Is there a way to buy for store credit if you have store credit? ie, the option is there if you have a non-0 amount in your cart? As far as I can tell the “non-warbond” version does not exist. At least there is no way to access it that I can find. The “upgrade” button implies that I could use store credit to turn my Aurora into a Razer LX or whatever the gently caress, but if I just wanted to add one that appears to be impossible unless I give them fresh cash.

There is no way to purchase the new variant with store credit unless you're upgrading an existing ship

I've known about Star Citizen for years but only found this thread recently and discovered the extent of this insanity. It seems to me to be a textbook cult with a ponzi scheme-like organization, just like Scientology or the Rajneeshees or something...give us all your money and believe that the great leader will one day deliver your dreams. But this isn't a fake religion, it's a fake computer game. I still have trouble wrapping my head around all of this and it feels like I'm missing something. I'm surprised this madness is almost invisible from the mainstream press. Is there a recent article written, by like the Atlantic or New Yorker or something, about the whole sordid tale up until now for the layperson?

Grubby Hobo posted:IIRC Object Container Streaming is "You don't have to immediately (synchronously in geek-speak) load up every detail about everything you know exists, you can do it in the background." These are both something I would expect to be somewhat functional in the first month, at least the first few months. Certainly waaaay before spending millions on creating art assets. But there I go thinking Chris intended to make an MMO. The problem (outside their own ineptitude) is they chose an engine that appears to be fundamentally opposed architecturally to these two concepts. They're either listing progress as a complete lie; a reminder that bind culling has been "coming soon" since before 2.6 OR They actually think they're making an MMO at some point. lol, no

Chances are much greater he doesn't have as much money as one would think The type of man child that collects animu figurines usually has a decent enough job , and little else going on in their life Besides his massive lifted pickup truck (manlet status of course) his all inclusive membership at the local bear club, and weird addiction, his wife and or parents probably pay for everything else

I guess apparently the reason they pulled the regular version Razor variants off sale is that Disco said (somewhere in a video I'm not going to bother to watch) that this was a weekend-only sale or whatever. Which, if that's loving true just lmao that they A) Didn't put that anywhere on the sale page and are now suffering the backlash and B) Still have the "limited edition" fresh-cash-only ones up for grabs because of loving course they do

Clifford lives on an inherited plot of land in Texas in a trailer home. The guy spends an obscene amount of money on dreams but otherwise does not seem to be living beyond his means. It's a little sad since 54k would have been more than enough to pour the foundation of the house he wants to build.

Goobs posted:Is Star Citizen out yet? Just bought the 27k pack (More like 34k CDN) and am stoked to play!! It's pretty much already out. You can log on now and get more gameplay than several AAA titles. Once object container streaming and network bind culling are in, previously undesigned gameplay elements such as mining and bounty hunting will spontaneously appear, along with all the underlying technology that will allow them to work. At your donation level (or any donation level) Squadron 42 is included, which is not only a complete game that Ben Lesnick is on record stating he played from start to finish, but also the Citizen Kane of space games because noted autist Chris Roberts penned the award-winning script. Subsumption AI not only passed the Turing Test but also created the singularity, so now the game is self-designing. Billions of living AI NPCs populate the 'verse creating infinite possibilities. Since your $27,000 donation got them 0.008% of the way toward paying their loans off, there's really no danger of them running out of cash.
