I mentioned that following the departure of John Pritchett who wrote the flight dynamics model, CIG has now told backers that they should all switch to the Persistent Universe (aka Star Citizen) because they will no longer be supporting Arena Commander (combat flight only module)
Thing is that, very backers actually play Arena Commander anyway; and it's as dead as the Star Marine fps module.

AC is a very small area, so performance is OK. Everything else sucks - pretty much.

Aside from the fact that the flight model is the same between both modules, CIG is basically pulling resources off AC; seeing as some of those who were maintaining it either quit or moved onto the PU development.
As these things go, the community is already gearing up for yet another [pointless] fiasco because they've now started griefing "care bears" who are transitioning to the PU.

Watch & listen to this short clip.

I wasn't sure if I should be laughing as hard I was when I watched this.

THESE are the SAME guys who were supposed to be holding Chris accountable all these years; instead they kept attacking us for blowing the alarm.

They have petition to go with it. They can't even get the dates right.

Guys, Oct 2012 to Oct 2018, is SIX years.

Who remembers back in 2015 when I said the project was doomed unless they got rid of Chris Roberts? These same guys were all attacking me over it. Now here we are, 3.5 yrs later. It's almost as if they weren't paying attention.

If this is anything as good as the one (from Fox and Kesmai) we played back in the day online on a 2400 bps modem, I'm in! But these days, it's too much to hope for.
For those of you not old enough to have played it, this is Aliens Online. It was THE game back in the day. Scary as hell. Most of us had to choose Ramen noodles vs paying the online bills when playing this.

Good times.

Who else remembers this?

Back then, we learned to swear in several foreign languages. Usenet kinda helped with that. Primarily because you'd fire a shot, think you killed the other guy - only to be declared dead seconds later due to lag and such.

So much fun. They don't make them like they used to.

I have seen people asking "Well, what's this to do with Mueller investigation?".

Everything.

She's a confirmed Russian agent, meeting with & lobbying Trump associates for policy change wrt Magnisky Act in exchange for dirt on HRC. Prevezon case is also linked to the MA.
Plus, she was also lobbying with traitor Rohrabacher, to lift sanctions also related to various Russian bad actors, some of whom were also subject to the Magnisky Act sanctions.

It's ALL connected.
This indictment (18 pages) is pretty specific; and confirms not only that she was a Russian asset meeting with Trump associates, but that she's now indicted for lying & fabricating evidence in the Prevezon case.

John Redwood is on his feet in the HOC right now, urging the Government not to pay any of the £39 billion to the EU, and leave without any sort of deal. Scary how deluded he can still be at this late hour.
J.R. started his speech: "I have declared my business interests in the Register, and remind the House of them." (Nothing wrong with that: correct procedure for MPs with an interest in policy they're discussing)
However, it's worth taking a peek at them...

Because what better ice-breaker at the start of a trade negotiation: “Hey guys, give us a great deal because we’re so untrustworthy, we just blow off our international obligations. Hello? Anyone?”

Star Citizen fascinates me. They have raised nearly $200 million dollars. Ppl have spent tens of thousands on bitmaps of spaceships that don't even exist in-game. Heads will roll by the time this is over
Imagine telling your wife that you spent $25k on a picture of a spaceship that **MIGHT** one day exist — in a video game 😐

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
