I don't think Star Citizen is a funny enough scam or video game failure to warrant 12 straight years of mocking it. It doesn't even have a Batman meter.

Perhaps the same could be said of all mock threads...

Even better was that the whole Star Citizen thread purge was because when Hogwarts Legacy discussion started a 'valued' poster wanted to chide everyone who was criticizing JKR


tl:dr a lot of people in the SC thread wanted to politely discuss why trans people can be seen as dangerous and think it is a shame everyone is so reactionary and hostile

My favorite J. K. Rowling story is that I read all of the Harry Potter books just before the sixth one came out, and when FYAD put the big "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!" spoiler in the forums name, I looked at the thread that posted the actual text from those two pages or whatever, and thought it was a fake parody because the actual language seemed too bad even for a series that survives on its ideas and definitely not its writing, but then it was real. So I sort of got double-pranked, lol.

i read something similar happened with Ready Player 2, even on the RP1 reddit page people called the leaks poo poo tier fakes that were not believable in the slightest and then it turned out to be 100% accurate

You and the slime knight are two sides of the same coin. Both of you exploit the metal slime for your own purposes.

i think the harry potter books are fine as childrens and later young adult fiction, very suitable for teenagers to read. too bad jk rowling has such horrible beliefs.

even before all the terf stuff i had no interest in whatever expanded universe stuff she put out because i had learned my lesson with the brian herbert/kevin j anderson butlerian jihad books: sometimes its better for a story to be over, you don't need more and more content.

Harry Potter started out as a cute story for kids that was not equipped to tell a darker, deeper story, nor have its world thought about for too long. That final book was pretty bad, with a hilariously awful epilogue.

kevin j anderson rules though

he wrote a star wars book where the plot is "jabba the hutt's angry relatives finance a bootleg death star and when they finally try it at the end it blows up"
