Im just shocked that they made their forum into such an abomination.

It's the most star citizen thing ever, they copied reddit, the worst format anyone has ever come up with, but they managed to make it all flashy and difficult to navigate and weird.

It is star citizen in its most purified form.

There's people that play different games on their streams constantly. If you can't play different games, then your viewers aren't watching your stream for you. That brings the question of why are people watching you in the first place?

If you want to be an actual stream personality, you need to be able to play whatever whenever. Sinking your anchor into any one game is a tremendously bad strategy, even if it ends up as the most popular game in the world. That the singular game you chose will be super successful, is a super bad bet, and even if you nail it, you're still tied to one game.

The best streamers are just people who play whatever the gently caress they want and have fun. 8,000 hours of Star Citizen over 3 years is something only an idiot would do.

The question of "why do people watch streamers" could only be answered to my satisfaction using stimperial methods of inquiry.

In the 90s an Irish chick named Dolores O'Riordan wrote a song about being a Star Citizen backer in 2017.

You've got me wrapped around your fingerrrrrrrrrr
Do you have to let it lingerrrrrrrr?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it lingerrrrrrrrrrrrr?


Ohhhhhh, IIIIIIIIIIII tought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wronnnnnnnnnnnng, I WAS WRONNNGGGGGG

if you could get by
Trying not to lieeeeeeee
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew

All joking aside, it points to one of two problems with CIG. Either they have a crap retention rate with current employees (high turnover) or they are still understaffed with qualified employees. Either way, it doesn't bode well for this project.

You realize the whole thing is a big scam to scam people out of money right?

Concierge Citizens ($1000 and above) are included in the earlier Waves in PTU releases... they are however not included in this PTUs wave 1. Subscribers are tho.

$10 per month beats $1000 you already spent

E: the website says concierge is included, but theres reports from Concierge plebs who did not get their invites yet

"I'm almost there," Ortwin pants, clutching his hard cock and the right side of his legal pad. "I can't help it."

"Think of your blonde, big-titted ex-wife, Orttie," Jared delicately whispers into his ear. "Wasn't she successful? Didn't she challenge you? Wasn't she one of the only female directors in Hollywood?"

Ortwin relaxes. The sweat on his brow fades, his face calmer, more serene. "Thank you, Jared. Thank you."

"Don't worry, buddy. We'll win this."

Jared glances over at the plaintiff's table.

"Just let me finish!" Derek Smart screams. "Just let me loving finish!"

I think the mods should take a moment to reflect on how all this all started with kewpie and his philosophy.

He promised Dr Smart he would probate anyone he wanted so that he could have an enjoyable posting environment. It should still be that way IMO.

If I remember correctly, it was universally panned because the IDEA of a money grubbing multi national private corporate entity (CIG is such a beast now) was using Vet's day charity to piggy back for marketing exposure and ship sales

Basically scummy of scummies

Not even sure they were donating even the full tally, just a small %

But I also don't care enough to check

No it was a shitshow because star citizen has a tonnn of germans and they weren't happy about giving american vets money because of the war.

There was a lot of that but it's pretty tone deaf to not predict the UN level cluster gently caress that will result. Surprisingly, not everyone is from the US and the obvious solution of just not buying during the sale wasn't an option as the item was limited edition and in-stock.

Probably the birth of the "snowflake" term internally at CIG.

It was especially cool since it was two degenerate motives conflicting.

The "i hate america/how dare they give money to wounded veterans" motive and the "i HAVE to have EVERYTHING in STAR CITIZEN" one.

With Dr. Smart having self-immolated, maybe it's time to rethink his subforum and consider whether this is really the best way for people to spend their lives.

It is sad that Dr Smart was unable or unwilling to follow the rules, and at the end of the day he is the one responsible for this outcome, but it is even more sad that this journey must now come to a close. It was already long past its prime, and so all good things must come to an end.

Derek Smart's House of Star Citizen Obsessive Insanity just isn't the same without Derek Smart. Random people being insanely obsessed doesn't have the same draw.

He gave a lot to the community here and many goons were brought around and got large sums of money back as a result of Dr Smart's posting. Equally importantly, it was really funny.

2015-2018 never forget :rip:
