Happens quite a bit in Austin, but you kind of expect it here. A recent example I can recall is some college sjw types heard my wife talking on her phone to her dad about whether or not he got a deer (during last deer season).

They came up and started giving her massive hate, not knowing her dad actually uses all of the deer for food, even makes sausage out of the bits. Thankfully she just gave them the old southern treatment, "Aren't you just all so precious! Bless your hearts!" Then she ignored them. I guessing they probably didn't get the gist of her comeback, but anyone versed in the south will know exactly how hard she laid the smack upon them.

I remember watching an aging Ali being presented with the BBC Sports Personality of the Century award back in 2000. The Parkinson's was taking his toll and he struggled to accept the award and speak, but even then there were moments of that old Ali brilliance as he graciously accepted the award and said...

"Thank you. I think I'm gonna make a comeback"

RIP Ali, you were a goddamn legend.

the point is to be able to make cheap and very short runs to a physical medium. much like the split 7" in punk's haydays. (45s are also making a comeback right now in different scenes for the same reasons). there's also the rise of the future/retro aesthetic see vaporwave, outrun, seapunk, chillwave, etc. the rise of these things has a lot to do with the last remaining DIY philosophies that exist today. to dismiss it as "oh hipsters" misses the point.

In last few seconds. The final comeback has nothing to do with Clinton and is hilarious.

Because admitting (or even addressing) your points means admitting that you have points, and that they are relevant and mebbe even right. /shock horror

Bailing out with a wannabe funny/realistically nothing comeback is far easier than an actual reply, which might even start a conversation.

And we obviously can't have that.

@Jinx

I am a bit confused. Earlier you used the word "conned" to describe the game, now you say it's not a hoax.

Aside from that, you certainly have voiced legitimate concerns. I'm also sick and tired of the usual pre-order business model. I decided that after playing the utter mess that was the Halo: Master Chief Collection for Xbox that I would never pre-order a game again. It's one thing to buy a game on day one, but yeah, in the usual sense, pre-orders need to die.

Thing is though...this is a kickstarter, thus the rules are different, by it's very nature, you HAVE to sell promises and pre-orders, or at the very least, contribution promises/swag/perks/etc. It's an alternative to going to a publisher and begging them for money to make the game and risk having the publisher exert creative control over the game/product/etc and whatever other compromises a publisher might force a developer to make. How many games have been utter shite because the publisher meddled and forced a game out before it was ready. Too many.

With kickstarters, it's the other way around. Backers demand that a game not be released before it's ready, but now the hype train has to start chugging along WAY earlier than a publisher-backed game in order to generate interest, because now the publishers are the backers and this is happening long before a game even gets to an alpha stage.

There is a risk with any kickstarter. If it was anyone other than Chris Roberts, I doubt I would have backed it. I backed the Shadowrun games mainly because it was being run by the guy who created the game originally and that turned out to be successful...twice. I'll be going for the hat-trick with the Battletech game they're working on now. Chris Roberts and Jordan Weisman both have solid reputations and have demonstrated they can make solid games. If it was Derek Smart or someone relatively unknown, I doubt I would have backed.

I find it interesting how the detractors are coming from various levels. Some of the detractors seem to be against kickstarters in general. Some seem to be against SC specifically and I think others are simply against it just because they want to see something ambitious crash and burn....and then there's Derek Smart who seems to have a personal, unhinged, vendetta against Chris Roberts.

Regardless of how successful SC will or won't be. SC is still a niche game by the very fact that it's a space sim. Even if it is a complete and total success, it's going to be a very complex game with a crazy amount of information to absorb and it will be difficult to be good at it. It is not for the casual gamer. So it will never reach mass appeal or become a widely recognized franchise like, say, Halo or Call of Duty. I think that is part of the appeal. A couple decades ago, publishers as a whole gave space sims the middle finger, but now thanks to crowdfunding, space sims are making a comeback.

Roberts has clearly tapped into something or people wouldn't be giving him money. He originally only asked for 2 million dollars, so even he didn't think it was going to be this big. (Europe is going absolutely bonkers for Space Citizen, they're way more into SC than we are in America)

I loved this commercial the first time I saw it. *quality comeback.

I'm grateful every single day that I'm not living in anything you think of as "reality." I'm not going to "teach" you history. Learners find out for themselves (from someone, in this case, with firsthand experience).

@bobknight33

Talking at you is like playing fetch with a really dumb dog.

I throw out a ball. You come back with a pile of shit in your mouth.

Discussions don't work if you can't be logically consistent.

So for the purposes of this game of "comeback with anything that contradicts a liberal"..

Please stick to the rules:

We're on the Bobknight Logic-Train to Conservatopia.


Now.. your logic states that Minorities rights shouldn't take precedent over the thoughts, opinions & beliefs of the Majority.

If you're being honest - which you never are cause then you'd have to admit you're wrong on most things - wouldn't the logical conclusion to your argument mean..

You shouldn't have any rights on Liberalsift?

I know it hurts your tiny angry racist 53 yr old brain to admit glaring truths.

But try, okay hun?
