I always wondered why major game publishers NDA everything and carefully control all the press that leaks out. I think I understand why now.

Actually he loses then dies a second time for real this time.

Yeah right. If I wanted to hang around with a bunch of homophobic stepford clone bitches, I'd go to church or something. GIS: Stepford Bitches

Yeah, I'm not making it up. Wages are fucking awful around here. That's why I'm sticking this job out until they fire me, and trying to soak up as much OT as possible even though I hate it.

Alpha Chi Omega HQ - Home

No, just vapid and obnoxious, even by the low low standards of college girls.

I competed nationally for CAD in VICA (or whatever they call it now, SkillsUSA) in high school, it's been a while since I've used AutoCAD but not THAT long. But that job pays less than the one I've got. I can't really complain about the pay I'm getting, at least for the area, especially...

It was easy and boring at first, then I made the mistake of being good at it. Then they gave me 5 other people's jobs to do. The job would seriously be pretty bearable if we got our legally owed breaks AND if the tools we were given to do our job weren't completely broken. But the company...

There's just very few decent paying jobs anywhere down here, near the university and near my mom.

Working at CIG... From a CIG employee : starcitizen Every company is going to have disgruntled employees. Given the fact that their wages are a little below the industry standard, I doubt they'd have any employees if the place was as shitty as a few people say.

The Glassdoor reviews for CiG are about 20 points higher than the Glassdoor reviews for the company I work at. :P

Watchmen is cool and shit but HBO needs to give me a fucking space opera right now.

They're all Alpha Chi so no. They're at least 19 if they're pledges, or older. Alpha Chi are some of the worst of the worst.

This less than 1000 sqft house is ~221k and it's like 8 miles from the water. That's with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a history of having 53 inches of water in the basement. :P Southern RI is just awful. The wages are fucktastically terrible unless you are a carpenter/electrician/plumber/own a...

I'm not talking about training for the technical aspects of my job. That shit is fucking easy. It's just remote server administration via linux CLI primarily, windows CLI sometimes, or various web interfaces or remote desktop interfaces. The only thing slightly challenging about the technical...

I wouldn't say routinely but it does happen a lot if you're patient.

They didn't train me to do my job. When I fuck up because I wasn't trained how to do anything, I get scolded verbosely via IM/email. When I do my job well, I am 'rewarded' with more work.

You're just prepurchasing a product that may or may not meet your expectations. Star Citizen has at least already delivered a playable product that is in some ways very impressive. Maybe if they actually deliver the other 90% of what was promised then they'll have something. Heck, if they...

Shouldn't it be Negsoween?

You need to cut power to the displays for 10-15 minutes for some dumbass reason, it should work from then on. You may also need a BIOS update for the video card. Go to System Information in Nvidia settings, "If the version number is older than 84.04.31.00.00, please contact your board...

I think one of them shares a display buffer with the DVI port.

This GTX 770 I have sitting in a package next to me has 2x DVI. This reference 980 I got from Best Buy has 3 DP, 1 HDMI and 1 DVI, which I thought was a weird configuration.

Technically, Mythics drove down the price of non-mythic rares, by making people open more product. The game is just really popular, and played by a lot of people with more money than sense. Also, people like me drive up the cost of cards because the market will bear it. I'm solely on MTGO...

Yeah, that too.

Have there been any players murdering other players yet? That's the sign you've got a good D&D campaign going.

Yeah definitely poor some on the ground for hottest hooker in the world. I really thought Bridget was going to kill herself by jumping off the pier this episode, and Terry was going to die, and Ray was just going to go off the fucking deep end. Without any of that shit happening, it felt...

Can't fucking wait.

I think Jon will eventually have to rejoin the watch after cleaning house in the North, so he can be the 1000th commander.

This job reminds me exactly why I quit IT. When your company's IT infrastructure works properly, it's invisible and you have little job security because no one knows what you do. When IT doesn't work properly, you have tons of job security because everything is always broken but getting...

Tuco's got the right of this. With how little we've accomplished militarily in the past few decades, and at how high of a cost, we really need to be rethinking the role of our military overall. The US military is the largest, best equipped humanitarian force in the world, and we should be...

His claim to 'fame' is making a catastrophic series of failures. But he at least did them mostly with his own time and money, so he's not like a total heel. He's just really fucking delusional.

No, I mean, backdooring them into combat roles if they have valuable skills that would warrant their leeway to retake the qualifications.

Only the evidence that supports his conclusions. And given that video game companies fail at a high rate, it's not hard to be right frequently.

If thats your bar for success, then almost no games are successful.

Probably not next block, because it's probably too late to develop something, but I'm imagining 1 block a year is going to be like this going forward.

Well, my other point is that if they really want women to serve in these units, they should find ones that have these difficult-to-replace skills, and therefore they can justify not washing them out under the existing guidelines for not washing people out.

CiG might be better off at this point without Chris Roberts and his ego. But then again, people said that about Apple. Sometimes it takes a gigantic irrational douchebag to pull off something this crazy.

Derek Smart is well versed in the art of doomsaying, and with the incredibly high failure rate in this industry, it's no wonder he's frequently right. That doesn't make him some kind of prophet. The man has failed over and over again despite having his own personal clique of devoted fans...

But that's not really what caused 38 Studios to crash and burn. 38 Studios crashed and burned because they took out a lot of loans then couldn't get new investment to cover the cost of the loans. Star Citizen is still pulling in ~20k a day even on the bad days, 1-2 mil a month, and doesn't...

Also, rape was/is morally objectionable in certain societies, and many/most historical ones, because you're violating, damaging, and/or desecrating another man's property. The idea that it's morally objectionable because you're violating the sovereignty of a woman's sexuality is a relatively...
