- Comment on Is it true Star Citizen players are "melting down" because of the No Man's Sky update or is that just clickbait? 1 day ago:
I’d say it’s clickbait. The hardcore SC people act like other games don’t exist and won’t say a peep about them. Those of us that have sunk money into SC but play other games too will just play whatever suits us at the time. There is plenty to bitch about SC without comparisons to other games’ updates. When we do compare to other games it tends to be generalized like, “Online games have had working doors, elevators, and inventory since the 1990s.”

Ahhhh, the old “I don’t see that” cope. Balance this against the hundreds of others that say otherwise.

Disagree. It is still a buggy mess. Many missing features that they promised. Lots of missing basic features of MMOs like no guild chat, no in game guild rosters, elevators and doors still don’t consistently work, they struggle to connect the game loops, game loops don’t consistently work, etc, etc.

- Comment on Tesla Stock Is Plunging Again. It Could Drop for a Ninth Straight Week. 5 months ago:
Tesla was overinflated because it was run as a software startup, where they had money pouring in from venture capital. They had money coming in, but it wasn’t simply from sales. Let’s see if that stalls too.

- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 10 months ago:
But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP’s point.

The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
I’ve played the game since 2015 when all we could do was walk around a hanger. When it comes to where SQ42 is at, we are being lied to about where it is. Them saying at Citcon that SQ42 is just 2 more years away is a dead giveaway that they are absolutely no where near a release, and the 2026 year is pure fiction. Like I said, they’ve been saying 2 years away since 2016.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
And this CitCon didn’t do anything to stem that tide if true.

I’m pretty sure Chris Roberts views Squadron 42 as the main game.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 10 months ago:
They claimed it was feature complete in 2023. And now they claim it is two years away from release. You really think polish and optimization takes three years? Of course, they’ve claimed it is just two years away every year since 2016.
They are lying to you.

Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.
