The pooner memes freak me out and give me the heebie jeebies. Just like troons. So I guess they're actually amazing, even if they cause me mental discomfort.
 
Why is the podcast feed always behind? I don't have unbroken stretches of time to finish the whole thing at once, I just want to download it and listen to it over a couple of days while I do yardwork or some other menial task, sometimes while lifting weights. No I don't want to stream it on yet another app to add to my phone, yes I am being autistic but also my mobile data coverage is spotty while out doing things.

I actually cannot stand looking at them. Not even the most deranged of troonjak edits have accomplished this.

Isn't he actually one of Star Citizen's biggest and earliest detractors? I recall he was one of the first to call it out for the scam it is, and even tried to take legal action for them to refund money to backers who didn't want to support it anymore.

He was also a Gamergate defender but that's neither here nor there.

He was some faggot who sperged immensely at the Star Citizen fanbase, who effectively mocked him back into obscurity.

Star Citizen has it's playable beta out right now, so it's not so much a scam but a project that will never be fulfilled. It's still better than most projects i've supported on Kickstarter that ghost and randomly return just to go "oopsie doodles we spent all the money because we didn't realize how expensive things are!"

I stopped watching Star Citizen when they removed their road map page. It was an obvious effort at absolving themselves of still not meeting their tiny development goals in favor of adding more space ships.
 
Or get a wider case. One thing I've experienced with the 3070 card and what others have said with their 4000 series is that the 12-pin power cable adapter or whatever doesn't always seat properly. I'm sure someone has told you already about this but idkfam, just figure it out dude.

What case do you have? I hope you got a normal FE (Founders Edition) card and not some 3rd party one unless it's a really good one. The FE cards seem to not have any issues.

I reseated my GPU and all the RAM. if it shuts off again I'm going to buy a new adapter for the PSU and GPU because I notice the case lid compresses the cable at the connection because the design is fucki

@Meiwaku The Pooner shit reminds me of the fluffy cartoons on /b/ or the touhou head thing cartoons. Just that weird sort of thing someone posts that ironic, but also way too honest. Like how the stick figure guy thinking about throwing his baby into a wall, going into an explanation about how those passing thoughts are disgusting, and then slamming his kid into the wall without the nuance that made that just edgy shock humor.
It's like a fetish in a sense.

It's like a mentally ill Hello Kitty, but that disgusting sense that someone's getting off on these.

Gonna add the internet boofering for the MATI site is baaaaad and not every episode is autistically backed to a hero's youtube so it can be difficult to follow if I'm doing a cow history dive.

He annoyed Chris Roberts and his dumb wife so much they just refunded his thing on their own and banned him from everything. He then was made a mod on the Something Awful Star Citizen board for a while before he was at least demodded, possibly banned for being annoying again.

He was a pioneer in farting out overhyped space games while promising the moon and delivering buggy pieces of shit. I picked up Battlecruiser Millennium from a bargain bin somewhere because it looked cool and the two bucks or so I paid for it were too much. I wonder if I still have the disc around.
 
I really hope @Null finally gets to make more person streams, and not just one or two per year.
Person streams are the ones that defy test of time, are better than all the other people's person streams who solely wanna grift from it.
All these current events streams are at the level of news and those just cannot by its form stick around as much and leave a big impact, while person ones are much more rewatchable, have structure and lasting impact. Also you can get more into it and personally engaged while watching it.
So please do the Lowtax stream already!

probably because null has to check and clean the recording to make sure it doesn't have anything reportable, which is a fuck.

I don't think it started as a scam, but there has been little meaningful progress made in the playable universe in like 3 years. It's pretty apparent that the present development profile is to bilk whales for as much cash as possible by focusing on adding more and more ships. Hopefully this is all to fund real developers, but that remains to be seen...
