    Woooowwwww tell me you don’t know sc without telling me you don’t know sc and barely payed attention…

    I’m in the middle of watching it to see what everyone is flipping out about and already 2 things they said right off the bat shows they don’t follow the development. The guy Elliot who says “you being up you being down doesn’t matter” is joking that’s literally his personality and he gets shit on all the time by other devs and streamers, it’s like a joke to pick on Elliot and he dishes back, it’s not some mean spirited thing being brought on by a failing stream. Hell the very beginning starts off with (paraphrasing) “let’s introduce our great devs, oh and Elliot.”

    The “just close your eyes” wasn’t about any glitch either… He literally said he took care of the enemies and one of the guys calls him out saying there was one right there that he had to take care of so he says no there wasn’t just close your eyes, again joking I might be misremembering this part, he did say something about not needing a fuse, I don’t feel like going back to disprove this so I’ll just leave it and own it up to my own failure to remember.

    I know it’s everyone’s favorite pass time to shit on star citizen, but being over an hour into the stream before I stopped for lunch I don’t see anything they’re all bitching about…

      Dude it is still barely a game after all this time and that’s only barely more true than in 2016.

      I had more fun fucking around Olisar and Jump

      I heard about star citizen when I was a teen, and it looked soooo cool. Unfortunately my PC was not strong enough. So I saved up for months to buy a PC specifically to play Star Citizen. Finally, I had all the upgrades I needed for the PC. Started excitedly pouring over Roberts Space Industries to pick my ship. Noticed the pricing model was… Off. In fact, this felt like a scam. Hold on, there’s no real game I could actually play? Decided to hold off until something released I could play, ideally with friends, and ideally via a less obfuscated pricing model.

      Anyways, I’ve checked in with SC about once a year since. I’m about to begin the process to finance a house with my girlfriend of 9 years. Exciting times ahead.

      I’m pretty sire SC won’t have released anything close to what was promised in 2012 by the time I retire, MUCH less anything promised since.

      (Btw I was not a smart teen. I fell for lots of things and lost money to scams and stupid games. I got lucky with SC, because in an alternate universe, I might also be stuck in sunk cost fallacy.)
