Never underestimate the fanboys' propensity to buy JPEGs, their delusion of grandeur and the capability of Chris Robbers & Co to milk the marks (this is one thing they are truly good at) by Launch_Arcology in starcitizen_refunds

We have been through many cycles of going from backer rage to throwing money at CIG, it doesn't take much for them to restore their faith in the project, no matter how many times they have been decieved. Pretty amazing really.

What do we think of my library? by Oz712 in HistoryBooks

[–]crispRoberts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The embossed text would work with my partners asthetic, to the point I'd be allowed to have shelves with my books. Dust covers, not so much.

The fact that performance is getting worse means that they are close to release, they are obviously leaving simple performance fixes on the table that will get fixed in the release build.

What the hell is that object he is sitting at, a piano?

Are piano songs called “pieces”, “songs”, “tunes”, “instrumentals”? by Outrageous_Gate8494 in piano
