As I always say, this is game is gonna be lit when it launches 18 to 24 months from now in 2014.

Oh UlyssesT, what I would give for one of your star citizen rants.

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

Same, and partly why I posted it

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

[-] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

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

The longest con in the gaming industry.

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

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

I wonder what comes out first Star Citizen or Fallout 5? My money is on the irl Fallout experience aka real nuclear war.

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 6 days ago

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

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 12 points 6 days ago

what you dont wanna play as roman empire in space with a chris roberts self insert as their godking?

[-] Omegamint@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days 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…

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

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

[-] red_stapler@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

Checkpoint just did their annual Star Citizen check-in.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 6 days ago
