It's extra sad when you consider who they were taken by. I guess it would be understandable from a certain point of view - if you're a rube for a dashing, charismatic, intelligent conman, it's easier to face your loss. When you're taken in by a moronic, drooling, stammering idiot, it's a bit harder to admit you've been had.

Quavers posted:Please have sympathy for GioGetMoney, the guy's Youtube channel has been bleeding subscribers for over a year Holy poo poo that dude........ Like I knew he was special when he was tweeting he was "taking down" Forbes......but he literally WILL NOT SHUT UP, I like jumping on twitter to check server stats for < Insert actual real game > and not having 20 notifications. Further, he's literally mentally challenged. He starts in with @ing me going "YOU GONNA ACT LIKE NO ONE KNOW ME, U KNEW ME BRUH" and linking a Discord convo of him begging me to let him on one of my streams so he can "school" Derek Smart. Like legit begging. Someone else from the channel asked me to talk to him and after putting it off for a few hours I finally PMed him, did a handful of nervous awkward "yeah man that would be cool" and then never talked to him again for 2 years. How is that your crowning moment of glory? Like if you were going to die tomorrow and had to meet up with ol St Petey, would you go "Yo man, I almost was on FTR's channel, I'm pretty huge"? Because after laughing at him for acting like anyone knows who he is, that was his come back. After also linking my socialblade going "Pffff, less than 7000 subs" .....ummm, okay Gio, you might wanna plug your own socialblade in... "OH poo poo BITCH, I dont care about that poo poo, I have a real job, Im making mad money" Alright retard boy, show me where I've ever said YouTube is my source of income. I'd be lucky to rent out a cardboard box in hoboalley if that was the case. I don't make videos for the dank YT cash, I make them because I know they'll get way more views than yours or DaGaimez, and frankly a large majority of dedicated Star Citizen streamers, which means I can turn more people away from this train wreck than you can sucker into it.

After he talked about the ratcheting belt thing he was a Kickstarter of I looked into slide/ratchet belts and I have to say they are the best. I will never buy a different type of belt ever again. So all things considered I owe MoMa a thanks!

Next ship is a minesweeper, obviously. Or two actually, since there are two different mines that needs to be cleared by specialized equipment.

That thousand-yard stare triples in sadness every second, and at some point it's going to be full of enough despair that even the backers will be able to read "This is never going to work" in there. Hell, maybe he should be wearing a full welder's mask at this point. A small sacrifice to keep the Dream alive.

to all concierge backers out there: you should feel deeply ashamed if you do not own that mine-layer-ship. dont fall behind with your fleet, pay the price to be cutting edge. do not become weak. you shall march on, through troubled waters, towards a golden future. by pledging for the dream to come true you can silence the naysayers, critics and fudstergoons. it is your duty to buy this ship. you owe it to chris. edit: i remember when we were laughing about the invitation to this “special event“ in this thread. it was hilarious, because the invitation did not mention that it would be another ship sale lol. it went something like “we will have a very special surprise for you!“ backers were like: “ahhhh i finally get my space waifu.“ chris is like: “no you get a jpeg and i get another 650$ from you mr rear admiral!“ BumbleOne fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Aug 24, 2019 |

So I've been meaning to write this for a while now, but haven't had the time, nor really the feeling for writing it. This is going to be somewhat long and rambling, so sorry in advance. The year was 2012, I had just finished my compulsory civil service (choice being that or conscription (or jail)) and enrolled in a university of applied sciences with the aim of getting a computer science degree out of it. Roughly then, nearing the end of the year, Star Citizen was first revealed and it was the first time in a while I had seen Chris Roberts. Years before I had enjoyed Freelancer for what it was: an arcadey space game where you could fly around, shoot stuff, trade and progress through a selection of ships. I had never really been hyped about the game but stumbled on in a local game magazine. What Roberts was selling back then was to my mind a spiritual sequel to Freelancer which I was initially very happy about. Recent years hadn't really been that good for the whole space sim genre, so was giddy about the idea of a possible rejuvenation. Trends come and go in circles after all. There was only one snag and a big one at that. I was very, very wary even at that time of Kickstarter. I have never Kickstarted anything, but did end up buying Planetary Annihilation later on through other avenues when it came out ( was disappointed, still am ). So in the end I did not put any money towards kickstarting Star Citizen, my reasoning being that it would fund itself and I would buy the final product when it is finished. Star Citizen very quickly funded itself ( or what it was supposed to be back then ), so I just reasoned that I should just wait. During the coming years I completed more and more courses in applied uni and wondered what I actually wanted to do with my life. After the first year you get to specialize in something. There were four disciplines but for my story only two of them are worth explaining: game production and medical data. Originally I veered towards medical data, seeing that it was going to pay very well and I was promised many good things about the quality of upcoming specialization. Now we have to go on a little tangent before we can continue. Gaming has been one of my (if not the) favorite hobbies since I was very young, my first game being NES Mario Bros 1 when I was three years old. When I was 5, we got a pentium with win 95 and internet. Dad had an engineering buddy that set up the system and gave us some downloaded games with it. Stuff like Descent 1, Summer & Winter Games, some version of flight simulator. Probably many others too, but I fail to remember them now. Back then we lived on a farm no other families with children living near so I got used to getting my entertainment by playing with both consoles and PC from early on. Slowly during the years I gravitated more towards PC as my main platform as it was more versatile, I had more control over my setup and the games were more interesting to me. The possibility of getting stuff completely free form the internet was also pretty big in my young mind. Well anyhow, that is the tangent I warned you about before. It is a cliff notes version, but gets the job done. So the main reason I chose medical data over game production in school was because I was really, really unsure about my skills back then and whether I wanted to transform a hobby into a career. I stuck with medical data and later on I found that I had been lied to about the discipline. In the meantime Star Citizen had exploded. The funding was going *extremely well* and it was starting to become very excessive. As you might remember, I mentioned earlier that I have always been very wary of kickstarting anything. By now one had the possibility of buying ships (well, pictures of ships) and thus contributing to development of the game. The scope of the game with all the pledge goals was starting to really balloon. I can't really remember exactly what my reaction to this back then was. One thing I *do* remember was that around the same time Bitcoin had started to gain global traction and now you could preorder space ships for a game that did not exist. I have been a fan of Cyberpunk for the longest and this was starting to remind me of some really dystopian poo poo that the genre contains. Of course there was also a contender for the space sim throne, a new game in development by one David Braben. So while all this happened, I had huge personal problems. School sucked rear end as the whole medical data discipline was extremely poorly thought out and executed. Courses upon courses of stuff that doesn't matter, of stuff that makes no sense. I was not the only in my class to notice this, nor the only one to be demoralized. To put it bluntly, it dawned on me that I had made a huge mistake ( In my best Gob voice). To make matters worse, I had a huge breakup and ended up retreating into a shell of depression for a year or so. I didn't really see anyone at all and I spent my days in a haze, disillusioned about my discipline and life at large. It was the end of the year 2013. By this time CIG had released the hangar module E:D would release their test version during the end of the year. I was musing at the time at few separate discussion channels for games, that it seems like that Roberts and Braben are opting for different development strategies: Braben is going to release somewhat quickly, then build upon that base game later on, while Roberts would opt for a strategy where they build a number of different modules that they then connect somehow. Braben would have a more traditional approach with the Roberts approach being more novel and possibly quite difficult to execute. Star Citizen still kept generating money and E:D development was going along, so I waited yet again, to see which one would be ready first. During 2014 I made some big changes in my life. I got back together with my girlfriend that I had broken up with and decided that gently caress it, I want to change my discipline to game production. Even though I might not get that much money, I would at least do something I enjoy. The school approved the change after a few hoops ( had to make some projects and demo's of my own) and I got to study video games in depth. Few months after Arena Commander had released, me and my girlfriend moved in together to a nice spacious apartment and we got engaged a few months after that. I got my head back in the game (heh) and finished by Bachelor's degree in June 2017, doing my thesis about how 3D production in VR differs from normal ( tl;dr: not very much). During all this E:D had released and I had played it with my friends somewhat. I felt it was very cool in theory, but ultimately too hollow for my tastes. After roughly 40 hours I called it quits although my friend ended up making billions and buying most the ships. He found it very engaging. During all this though, Star Citizen had still not released. I had also completely forgotten about it. I had ended up working in the same company I did my thesis in. It was start up life as usual with little to no money but big ambitions. It lasted for a year, but because of irreconcilable differences we parted ways and I changed companies. I ended up in another startup that did AR instead of VR and did some work there for over half a year before being laid off due to monetary issues. Roughly at this time I had found this thread while browsing through the forums and remembered that hey, that goddamn Star Citizen still ain't out. I did my due diligence and read all I could on these forums about the developmental shitpile that is Star Citizen. The whole experience really was eye opening and I have read the thread closely since, as I find the whole phenomenon absolutely engaging and hilarious at the same time. The memes and the continuous failure to ship the drat game(s) is just too goddamn funny. I rarely contribute but I have really, really enjoyed reading this thread and all the posters within. After being laid off from my last company I ended up in a normal game company. I worked 10 months as a level designer on a game that got a full release after a 6 month early access period. It didn't sell like hotcakes, but I am still extremely proud of it as it is the first actually released product I have worked with. My company is now seeking funding for our next project and the discussions are going well. Nothing definitive yet, but I am hopeful about the future. I also turned thirty few months ago and got married to my girlfriend roughly a month ago. Life looks really sweet right now. So after ~7 years of going through all kinds of hoops I have managed to find my place in this world, grow adult and feel good about my personal life and the work I do while also releasing an actual video game. Star Citizen still ain't out. ps. I won't name any names because I don't really feel about doing it. One can pretty easily find those out themselves if they really want to, but they don't really add anything but flourish to the story and I would prefer nothing be named in the thread.
