Mr.Tophat posted:Those things cannot be killed if I am thinking of the right creature, I remember reading someone's effort to murder one of those within his tank and it was a prolonged war effort to be certain. Didn't want to nuke the entire tank as he had other fish within it so he had to use every trick in the book to win the war I've read a SF story like this. It ended with the things taking over his entire apartment

CrazyLoon posted:Are those the ones, that then also occasionally pop back out through the skin? Wikipedia says they enter your bloodstream, travel to your lungs and then to the bronchia, so you can swallow them again when you cough up slime. Then they travel through your digestive system to suck blood in your intestines. So I'm guessing "no" But don't worry, there are tons of hilariously disgusting worm parasites, one of them will be the one you are thinking of.

ManofManyAliases posted:But that's not true either. Plenty of magazines (german and US based) have gone to their studios and have seen similar. I'm not bound by journalistic standards, so I care less about an NDA. My username here is unique so they interns that are watching don't have a clue. Other backers can absolutely go and visit, although when you've dropped concierge-level moneys, they're more likely to grant you a visit than others. I should point out game magazines aren't bound by journalistic standards either, so your argument is just hot air The idea of CIG inviting "journalists", only to make them sign NDAs to not tell anyone is also pretty unique. But probably not in the way you intended Edit: I take it back, I could see CIG trying something godawfully stupid and pointless like this Libluini fucked around with this message at 11:53 on Mar 18, 2018 |

I love the comment about "not factually" backing up something in response to an argument about CIG being made of dreams and lies. It's the kind of technical correct immediately identifying you as an Assholian. Nice warning flag to not read anything by that guy ever again. I mean "Cymelion" already sounds like an alien name. Nice blowing your cover, you idiot. Now go climb into the next Ariane 5 and fly back home.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Jesus there's just so much stupid to unpack in your posts. Those countries don't use commas as thousand separators and decimal separators, they use a comma as the decimal separators (and nowhere else in our numbers). For instance, you'd write one million as "1 000 000.00" but lots of europeans would use "1 000 000,00". Nobody would write "1,000,000,00" It's even worse, I grew up with a system were one million could be "1.000.000" or "1.000.000,00" and when I encountered the American system of having everything backwards I was in for interesting times. Like, if I saw someone writing stuff like "1,000" I'd interpret it as someone saying "1" and if I saw something like "1,000.00" I'd say to myself "What on odd typo to make". To this day you just have to write a number with a comma as thousand separator to set me off. In fact, I wrote a full page of me just raging at Derek about this, until I saw his "I have psychological problems" post and noticed I was just starting to do the same thing like him, just reversed. So I deleted my angry rant with multiple smilies and wrote this instead. Also I'm still like 11 pages behind, so hopefully something more interesting then this derail happened

Yeah, this is stupid. I'm pretty sure this also counts the account I made years ago to drop some dumb questions in their now-defunct forum. If they are still "counting" new "registered accounts" like they did in 2015, the new accounts are probably all made by their interns

trucutru posted:Well, it was during the "Tonk" reveal so maybe someone (MIRIFICUS!) can find that. It was pretty funny. But I do have a screenshot of him proving Braben had sold his company to Sony: Wow, this is so brazen and dumb my headache is getting stronger just from reading it. Note to self: Don't read dumbass creeds while suffering from a bad cold. To be fair, I have seen this "tactic" used to create some funny jokes about bad journalism, but the idea someone would use this for real would have never crossed my mind. Probably because I'm not an idiot. "Panzerkampfwagon", what the hell. Even if you could argue that since the German language allows you to just form new compounds at will, a -wagon would make every German think the writer/speaker is talking about some kind of armed and armored railway carriage. But they won't, because in 99% of cases a German would just assume you pronounced "Panzerkampfwagen" wrong and would correct you. And while I'm not a linguist, I'm pretty sure the rest is just bullshit. I mean at the very least the bit about "German people can have French names" slays me. Dude, while that can happen, we still pronounce the names German and having an unusual name in Germany doesn't automatically bestow upon you the ability to talk in foreign accents
