Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 2h ago 100%

    They got my $40 in 2012. I absolutely loved the Wing Commander series; Wing Commander II was an embarrassingly important part of my adolescense, I love space sims, and still had fond enough memories of the name Chris Roberts that I didn't think he'd blatantly lie and steal from me.

    How people are still giving these clowns money I have no idea.

    I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and will never make that mistake again.

    My father's middle name is J. Just the letter. His father's name was JQ, just the letters.

    Have you ever voted? Like, gone to the voting booth and voted? How about attended a caucus or primary? Because I regularly do, I'm 45, and I'm typically the youngest person in the building.

    The US voting base is old as fuck.

  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 2w ago 100%

    Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:

    All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.

    We'll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.

    Whole voting districts in Georgia won't report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.

    Obviously there's also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let's not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 2w ago 100%

    Isn't discord just shittier, proprietary IRC? I'm only on it because my Linux distro's dev uses it for communication for some reason, but from what I can tell, it's just a locked-down IRC client you can buy emojis and shit on.

  • Woman behind Neo-Nazi plot to destroy Maryland's power grid sentenced to 18 years in prison
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 4w ago 100%

    A political science class I attended in the early 2000s focused on terrorism, and the professor described power grids as being a pretty big target in general, but especially for right wing hate groups.

    This has always been part of the plan for the Turner Diaries militia weirdos.

    Winamp came with an mp3 file labeled winamp.mp3.

    If you played it, it was just someone yelling "Winamp: It really whips the llama's ass."

  • Harris delivered a ‘masterclass’ debate. Will it change the race?
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 1mo ago 98%

    Because that's not the reality or the America that we live in. Every time a truly leftist candidate tries to run, they get slapped down by the majority of the DNC's voting base.

    This is a center-right, Pro-Capitalist country with a center-right, pro-capitalist population. You don't have to like it, I certainly don't, but that's the reality.

    Without ranked choice voting, there is no way in hell an actual leftist will ever appear anywhere on a presidential ballot.

    So hold your nose, put on your big boy pants, and vote for the lesser of two evils with the rest of us, because if you don't the fucking Nazis will win again.

  • TIL about lunch shaming... america are you ok?
  • throbbing_banjo throbbing_banjo 1mo ago 100%

    It's disgusting. When my son was very young, my wife and I struggled to make ends meet, and got behind on his school lunch payments (I still can't believe that's even a thing). The lunch lady at his school would lecture him about how much we owed, and how he shouldn't get to eat for free just because we were lazy or whatever. He'd come home thinking he was in trouble. America hates poor people.

  • I can see what they were going for with it, but some more color would have been dope. The sound is phenomenal though... The drums especially really stand out on it. Great master.

    Waiting until after work to give the audio book a listen, but the tracks sound phenomenal. The drums are especially rich on it, gonna be a favorite to listen to for sure.

    This is Steely Fran and she's my favorite. 2019 Salsa Vaya on 29" tubeless tires. This is my year-round ride but spring and summer are my favorite time to ride by far.
