Ah, but she's also exec producing this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5561564/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_1

Hi Verchites :wave:

Thanks for pledging to SomethingAwful and promoting these forums :v:

I mean, while it is funny to make fun of people like verticles, sometimes I check his posts and the guy can't catch a break. Being such a dumb mark is quite costly.

Case in point, I clicked on his account and his *latest* post was about him getting ripped off by yet another transparent scam



Dude needs a new car because, well...



... he got scammed out of his previous car's insurance money. Any any case, they sent 1,800 dollars of his parents' money to buy the Jeep. One month passes and there is not Jeep, so people tell him that he may have been scammed but he's not concerned about the guy who took the money (point man)



A few extra weeks pass and



He still doesn't seem to realize that he got scammed from day one. Oh well, what's another 1,800 dollars lost anyways.

It suuuucks to be Vertisce.

It's probably a freakish coincidence that Sandi's portfolio rose after Star Citizen started raking in pledge funds.

Vertisce, mate, stop giving thieving assholes your money. If it seems to good to be true, then it probably is.

Jeeps are also for hairdressers, are usually rotten with tinworm and if the engine isn't immediately buggered upon receipt then it will suffer a catastrophic loss of 80% of its big end bearings and a control rod exiting stage left from the block exactly halfway home. :)

Not wrong here. My American buddy would not stop buying Jeeps. Every single one was hosed within a few years. One time he got a new one and after a few months we needed to drive from Salzburg to Venice. One the autobahn at about 200km/h the engine blew.

Just stupid stupid cars.

Pretty much.

It should be a warning sign that the Star Citizen's developers are using fancy ways to describe their tech, when there's already industry wide terms to describe what they are aiming to do.

I mean of course, having catatonic NPCs with not even one available to interact with in the alpha after 5-6 years is probably a good sign too.

I've had the unfortunate luck to have a buddy who loves the things, and me being mechanically minded, I always end up fixing his "bastard broken shopping trolley" (my own description) for him. :D

The last job I had to do on one of his was the injectors, and while I was swapping them out for new tested ones, I noticed a large, shiney, black puddle forming under the engine, upon further inspection I found a hole in the side of the block that Goatse himself would've been proud of. The stupid thing had been literally detonating itself on the short trip from my mates house to mine and it had been running like such a bag of dicks due to the bad injectors that he didn't notice, not even the noise of chunks of metal bouncing around under the car as he gormlessly nursed the battered box of bog logs towards my lovely clean red brick driveway. :argh:

Fuckin' hate the things.

And I know what you're thinking, "all the c-suite staff at the company I work at are horribly busy people who seem like all they do is eat, sleep and live my company!"

And you'd have to wonder what the gently caress is wrong with them since clearly they should also have tons of time to go be Hollywood movie actors and actresses. Obviously being a high level employee leading teams of many people is basically child's play.

Especially when it's a company that is making a profit off of donations rather than you know, selling an actual loving product like every other company in the world has to do to stay solvent.

So yes, all that money. All those DONATIONS. I wonder where those are coming from???


Oh wait! It's you! You're the ugly loving monster at the end of the book making this all possible! Haha!

It's like you fucks are going to Kickstarter and searching "help undeserving people live on vacations, mansions, expensive clothes, exotic cars, and help them relive their Hollywood dream" with a big fat smile on your face and going "yes, yes! This is what I want to sink thousands of dollars into!"

Can't wait until Vertisce gets doxxed. He is one of the most important Pro-SC people and I'd love to see Vertisce suffer for liking a video game. Derek is my friend and my mentor and I cling to his every word without questioning. I will celebrate his doxxing as an accomplishment because I am a poor and just so mad that I can't afford a nice ship. I don't have a brain which makes me to dumb to understand the brilliance of Chris Roberts, a man that misses his own deadlines all the time. Destroying Star Citizen is the only goal I have in my pathetic life. I'm so jealous of Vertisce because I will never be as rich and smart. And my ego will never be so big that I take posts like this one seriously.

:( EDIT: I'm sorry Vertisce. I really didn't realize that you may be really afraid of being doxxxed. Beet Wagon explained it quite well on the next page.

It really doesn't matter. If it fits his narrative, he'll take it as proof. I don't read about SC much but here, and every time I read something from that idiot or the other scam-defenders it boils down to some of the things I said.

Someone: '"Hello, I'm a goon and I'm unhappy with the latest patch"
Vetisce: "Oh yeah? You are from a hate-group and here's a random, out of context quote proving my delusion. Thus your argument is invalid."

Wow, such discussion skills.

But I'm sure my face will be so red if *current buzzword* gets implemented next patch. Jokes on them, I barely even take time to play good and released video games, and SC will never be either.


Coming up: Vertisce wondering why I - a person with no interest in the game - is so invested in it that I would write a post about it. Must be some Agenda or brainwashing.
