Some say, when the hour is late and the servers are quiet, you can hear the ghostly echo of "bazinga brain prestige TV treaterinos."

You’d think a billion dollars usd and 14 years would get you there…

The longest con in the gaming industry.

Squandron 42 was supposed to be the first playable part of the project projected to arrive in 2016 lmao

2016 is like 16 years from now, not sure why you're upset.

I still remember sitting in a pub outside uni in 2012 laughing about all the suckers who believed star citizen could be built and the fella across from me standing up and going apoplexic insisting 'twas so.

I wonder, once it's finally released, will anyone pair gameplay with the original kickstarter pitch for some jolly good laughs.

Little child it has only been 14 years. While this may be a significant portion of your life thusfar all too soon it you will find decades passing you by as sand poured through desperately clutching fingers.

Cherish this moment, soon you wont even recognise the person experiencing it

CAN YOU SPEAK UP I CAN'T HEAR YOU

:( you could at least pretend to be experiencing existential dread. I put effort into that and it's basically the only perk of living past the age of skin sagging.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

yeah im actually terrified all the time it's all good

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Really hard to accept that people continue to follow this. Like… there’s been some mmo projects I’ve tried to follow in the past that are so much smaller that I’ve found easy to just stop caring about because it’s clearly not worth thinking about…

Gotta make the fascist faction you play feel slightly less fascist than the 4 fascist factions you fight or some shit like that

[–] shath@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

[–] red_stapler@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Chris Roberts must have made the unreasonable demand that the menu buttons in Squadron 42 should do things when you click them
