It wasn't a sales pitch you see because they weren't actually sales people up on the stage but rather level 7 Space Marketing and Communications Specialists, and Sales Pitch is a level 8 ability, GOD.

Pay a $275 fee to attend a sales pitch for a $700+ item in a project that has already raised the most crowdfunding ever for a game seems like some kind of peak late-stage capitalism/scam/time-share plateau. Where will this go next? $1000 private virtual streams to $2000 battle-cruisers via in-game VR? That way even the hot dogs can be virtual. In a sick way, it realizes the boring-dystopia fantasies posted here but all these "captains of the black sea" are the deck-hand scrubs of this scheme. When do you realize they should have enough money and don't need any more? EDIT: How many years will go by before we see someone else pulling the same thing?

I got this exploding kittens card game to play with a date and some friends and it must be an old edition because on the box it says "most kick-started game in history " Then again it's actually out of beta and purchasable on Amazon

That menu is blowing my mind. Green sauce... like.... you eat it with a spoon or something? Is it tomatillo or verde? Just a sauce that is green? "Frankfurter" sausages. They can't even say hot dog. Too embarrassed to say hot dog. As they should be for a $275 dinner. Family style. That's the kicker. So people don't even get their own plate. They just put everything out like it's a Sunday picnic with your friends and family. Not complete strangers who may or may not be into rape gaming.

Alan Smithee posted:#bossbabe It's basically that, and the explanation for why there are no girls in SC. There's a kind of person (or life stage; many move past it) susceptible to talk of ~#~dreams~#~ and a mythical perfect life. They have to invest their time (and money) NOW and the dreams will come true, they just need to be patient and have faith. Cult like thinking moves in quickly; it's in the design. Women tend to get suckered in by MLMs and promises of a perfect REAL life, Citizens have been promised the perfect other-life in a non existent game. So it's not that men are dumb and women are smart, it's just the women and girls sufficiently dumb/gullible/vulnerable to become Citizens have already been poached by the MLMs.

as a fairly eligible bachelor in his low/mid 30s, the concept of women searching for "the perfect life" is not nearly foreign enough to me thats off topic i guess but the above post resonated with me in ways that made me kind of uncomfortable

To be fair to them (lol) that menu is for a German meal. This is green sauce.. This is what they mean by a frankfurter. That's, like, $15 bucks worth of ingredients max though.

I do love that there is exactly ONE vegan item on the menu, and it's one of the desserts. Not that the cross over of citizens and vegans is likely that big, but I guess the one guy is gonna be eating a looooot of rice puddin!

Picturing a plastic platter of wieners slapped down on a table of rowdy Star Citizens in between the pretzels and French fries, fat guys in costumes quaffing Fanta to wash down the mozzarella sticks or spiced cheese selection or whatever, seven meaty mitts grabbing at the hotdogs, the sound of someone sucking juice off their finger or is it a bratwurst hard to tell

I went and read some stuff on the SC reddit page, and I'm amazed at the level of delusion these people have. A guy was complaining about the elevator in a ship being too close to the engine or some poo poo and said that a pirate could sneak on and cripple the engines and then jam the elevator and blah blah blah. They really seem to think this game will be as open as reality and that if they can dream it, they can do it. Have they never actually played games?

As I recall it was people in AI making GBS threads on a woman with a TBI that miscarried or something I mean granted I definitely took the opportunity to poo poo on them and earned the probe but lol at defending the remarks E: I'm sure you're right, not trying to disagree. Just pointing out where I got that impression from. Tbh the Ford forums I browse are pretty meat and potatoes and just seem like enthusiasts being enthused 🤷♀️ I only lurk a bit though so I don't have a firm grasp on those communities

You egged them on a little bit, but their response was really weird. But you're right, there are pockets of really lovely people who're into cars and their lovely opinions come out often.

* Game Crashed * C. Roberts ran off to drink * New ship for purchase isn't done * Devs talked about mines * Guy from Crysis likes working on SC * Vague details about animations and how many there are * A quiz to get a magazine Guy who paid $275 for this posted:This shows once again how extensive and well elaborated the story is in SC and SQ42. Must have missed that part...

goons make new characters goons shove a dude off the spaceport and steal his ship goons wreck it into a freight ship, breaking the engines off and causing the first ship to vibrate into the sun. The engines being broken off don't hinder travel. that first ship never respawns because technically it's still spawned in the core of a star and that guy is stranded freighter is full of mines, goons throw them out the airlock and they all activate, but only because of the work done on the "deliver pizza" mission anyone who warps near the station slams into them and explodes. Survivors are carried 100,000km from help and only have space suit thrusters due to game engine defects the mine positions are bugged and they start thrusting faster than lightspeed for fractions of a second to correct server crashes, put into an unrecoverable state due to bugged vectors more likely: game never comes out SniperWoreConverse fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 27, 2019 |

Glad to know the mines will be easy to detect, expensive to maintain, easy to avoid and slow to redeploy. It sounds like a very fun play style.
