They are still working on getting GrimHex bartender ready for the 3.0 release. It's getting the Chris Roberts treatment because he mentioned it in the $54m stretch goal, so you know it is a core part of the game's vision. Recreating the star wars cantina scene is one of the criteria that is being used to judge whether the game is a success or failure. I'm not joking.

Well, at around this time there was a hubbub about some female employee who was having a difficult time because it seemed that Sandi didn't like people who weren't shaven upon their mounds. Rumor had it this employee was not treated very well at all. So, a bit of time passes and soon enough this piece of concept art airs, called a Hairy Roberts. Perhaps another insight into the horrors of CIG?

I'm sorry, what? Are you telling me there was intra-office drama based on whether or not you had your short-and-curlies trimmed?

No, it happened. The saga of SurfaceDetail :rip: was about a guy in this thread who posted a series of joke posts about being an ex-employee once word of Sandi's pube-examining ways got out. This may have also been reported in the original Escapist piece. He posted a picture of his balls in this thread which was taken down relatively quickly, but not quickly enough to spare myself and others from permanently dedicating a portion of our brains to attempt to permanently delete another portion, but never quite managing it.

Sandi's pube adventure has, as is tradition around here, become wildly distorted.

The Article posted:

It was also alleged that Roberts' wife and Cloud Imperium Games Vice President of Marketing Sandi Gardiner enforced discriminatory hiring practices. CS1 reported that they were instructed to, first, check the education field on a prospective employee's resume. If too much time had passed, Gardiner reportedly informed people not to hire them, because "they may be over 40, which makes them a protected class and harder to fire." It was also claimed that Gardiner used race as a determining factor in selecting employees, allegedly once saying "We aren't hiring her. We aren't hiring a black girl."

Sources indicate that multiple complaints have been taken to the Human Resource department against Gardiner, with little assistance on the matter - HR, after all, ultimately answers to Roberts and Gardiner.
"She would write emails with so much profanity. She would call people stupid, retard, human being. Accuse men of not having balls. And she was incredibly hostile to other female employees," CS4 stated. "Sandi is very jealous. She has to be the queen bee at the company. Whenever I was around her, I felt like I was in the presence of a cobra who, at that moment, might not have been inclined to strike but was completely willing to. You don't get on her bad side," CS3 added. "There were two things you were told, when you were hired. One, you don't talk about [Roberts and Gardiner] being married, to anyone. Ever. And two, you don't make Sandi mad."

One of the quotes, which I can't find, was Sandi saying they couldn't hire a girl because she looked like the kind of ho who "didn't shave her pussy"

From this sentence a million goon memes were formed.

All of this was from 2015 and luckily, none of it turned out to be true! They have tons of black people and even a few olds on staff now, they definitely don't just hire young white guys straight out of college, and there have definitely been no further stories of Chris's wife being a psychopath. No sir.

And that's pretty much all they get for subscribing right? CIG got rid of all the shows like ATV that the subscribers were supposedly paying for.

Why would anyone still be a subscriber?

It's a US Army tan beret, which is worn by members of the 75th Ranger Regiment (Army Rangers), but the yellow patch is the symbol of the 1st Calvary Division which is a regular Army unit. None of it actually makes sense, and he just looks like an idiot.

All of these "SC hardcores" are just flameouts from EVE that got their mining ship ganked a couple times by me and have no more ISK so they went off to find some easier space game. Enter Scam Citizen.

Lol.
I remember many moons ago when a Goon had a shot at the title, attempted suicide ganking me in my Hulk, with his BC.
I was left standing and you could have cued the crickets in local chat after Concord handed him his arse.
So I went around and salvaged his wreck and piped up in local.

Well, no actually. It didn't so much walk, more like it glided without moving its legs, clipped through the wall, and fell.

If they sell those 2 seater swinging garden seats, I'd be all over that like 'Ben Lesnick on 3 kilo's of BBQ'd Baby Octopus'.

But remind me, when is CIG going to throw the planet generation switch? I'm sure I heard it was any day now, I can't wait for them to release Arrakis Leir III so I can get close up and personal with Chris' enormous worm.

That was the funny part. The quote (to be fair, unsubstantiated, if not out of character) was along the lines that someone didn't look like they shaved. Ron Jeremy need not apply.
