Not to mention they nixed anything vr ages ago

Vr already has boundaries setup and a few ways to do locomotion ... without having to wear a retarded looking getup

Not sure what it was for tbh, it makes me laugh everytime though because the awful setup, the untidy room, the unwitting nerd held hostage in the cupboard (probably has a wallet), the overall cheap and tacky look of everything in that clip just suits Crobblers so much. :D

In a totally non-shill, non-troll response: It really isn't. When I was at Amalfi, I paid a private captain a couple hundred USD in a small group outing (8 of us total). He took us around adolfo scotto and more. We were out for about a half-day.

Well , I agree

But if they had kept things looking like that we wouldn't be in the same situation .... at least maybe not right away

Instead Chris is bumbling around in his custom built and sickeningly furnished office playing with the newest and most expensive of everything

Maybe he really is a game making prodigy , but he's forgotten what it's like to actually work for it instead of everyone handing him sacks of cash and fawning over his very existence

I'll clarify. I sold them for 5k, netting 1k profit. I still have another 4k worth of ships that I'd have no problem earning some profit on since they're seen as "rare."

I'm really extremely excited to watch you try and make a profit on these "rare" ships as CIG continues to strangle the grey market.

I suspect vacationing to the island of Capri is more costly than the mainland destination of Amalfi.



What a life, hit up the Grand Prix of Monaco, than have a little rest on Capri.

Monaco during Grand Prix is the much bigger cost, but the Capri picture is better.

I've asked you numerous times for the total RSI value of your fleet and how much you've down in total on this scam and you've always dodged the simple question.

Also if you offloaded 4k worth of ships, shouldn't you have got four times the value for them, aren't you concerned you're selling too early?

No, but somebody managed to roll their car over right in front of my house while my yard was getting dug up. Super weird as it's a lightly traveled side street. Not entirely sure how, I think their front tire caught the tire of the parked car they hit, and rode up it, laying the car on its side.

I, and the crew digging up my yard, on lunch break, got to watch the fire department cut a car open like a tin can to get out the driver who was basically just standing on the pavement through the passenger side window waiting. We didn't even hear the accident happen over the noise of the backhoe and air compressor.

Yes, that's fine, the point is I'm not "missing" anything about your investments, you've consistently avoided discussing the subject. Just like you avoid discussing gameplay for this "game" you've wasted at least $4k on (assuming you could actually get $4k back now).
