    When I try to apply for the UOLTT org, it says I already did.
     
    I might have jokingly applied years ago, but it looks like it was never accepted or denied.
     
    Also, the Discord link isn't working.

    If Steve just wanted to "help", he would have chosen a more private setting to tell these things to Linus/someone at LMG.
     
    Edit: Not that I don't agree with a lot said here. Could have been handled better I guess.

    Artisan builds screwed over a partner and broke a law and then took enjoyment over it.
     
    LMG haven't even come close to the muck up that is Artisan Builds, have implemented a warranty and then made light of the drama.

    Yeah watched it this morning, I really feel like it pulls the WAN show out of context, was a bit disappointed to see Steve produce some journalism this way.
     
    He made some pretty bold allegations.

    If the car is idling and your not moving your wasting fuel. The battery in a old car can't handle the cranking constantly which is why they use to tell you to leave your car idling.
    Modern cars have stop/start technology (can you tell I work for a car manufacturer) as they have overcome such problems and most cars also stop pumping fuel into the engine when braking downhill as its such a waste.

    rentaspoon got a reaction from chshrkt in Is Star Citizen a giant scam?   
    No it's not a scam, the active community wanted it extended and this is the result, yes its frustrating having to wait but I played Kingdom Come and TBH the 4yrs wasn't long enough, I'm happy to wait for a game if its well done. 
     
    $65 for 2 games does seem expensive but they changed this in 2015 iirc, I originally paid £27 for the complete package at the time the dog fighting module came out. 
     
    Paying bug testers? Not really, that's the evocati, of which some have ended up working for CIG. 
     
    Cult? Aren't you part of the PCMR? 
     
    Sunk cost/time falicy? Not really, I increased my pledge after I felt I hadn't paid the devs enough for the time spent in arena commander, the reason I've spent that much time? The people on here are awesome, we've branched out in other games and fingers crossed I'm off to different parts of the world at some point to meet a few of them. Best $100 spent for that reason alone. 
     
    But this is what I usually expect from people that haven't done the research and only read the title of every article of SC, that and a dude that is trying to justify a purchase of a Ferrari and a night at a brothel. It's why the SC LTT community moved away from the forums.

    rentaspoon reacted to Corwin111 in Is Star Citizen a giant scam?   
    Let's put it this way. There exist only three games that I feel I have gotten my money's worth from. Games that I have played past whatever single-player they may or may not have had and then moved on to play the multiplayer on a daily basis for years on end. However incomplete it may be, SC is one of those games. 
     
    Also, as Spoon pointed out above, I have gained real actual friends in this community. Not the "hey how about a raid on Saturday" online kind of friends, but the "Hey, I'd like to invite you to my wedding" kind. 
     
    So there's that.

    rentaspoon reacted to Napper198 in Star Citizen Free Flight Event   
    With the recent alpha 3.3 patch being really good performance wise and it giving us the ability to purchase ships with in-game money Star Citizen is finally starting to become more and more of a game.
    Coincidentally the 6 year anniversary of the Kickstarter funding is coming up next week so CIG is doing their annual anniversary sale which will be accompanied by a free flight event where everyone with a Star Citizen account can test the game and all it's currently flyable ships with no purchase or credit card required. From 23rd of November to 1st of December you can test the whole flyable lineup of each ship manufacturer to your hearts contend and also explore any currently available planets like Crusader, Dalamar and possibly even Hurston and their moons or try out any of the various missions.
    If you're interested but don't have an account yet I highly suggest using the referral code picker provided by the local Linus Tech Tips Organization to grab some in-game money when signing up and if you have any questions or would like to meet some fellow citizens to help you out with tips, tricks or crew members, feel free to join our Discord server (which is not the official LTT discord btw)
     
    Fly safe!
