"Pyro," the second star system of Star Citizen (out of one hundred originally promised as initial kickstarter goals a decade ago), was itself promised years ago and has once again been delayed until next year. Again.

Also, as a partial explanation to the baffling fact that this grift keeps breaking its old funding records year after year, new information reveals that there are less overall users than previous years, but those that are left are spending more and more.

The internal contradictions are intensifying. curious-marx

Sure, this video series is old... but very little has changed since its last episode except more money coming in and more vague promises and airbrushed tech demos coming out.

What's funny is it came up in the minecraft server about clipping through the modded trains and I instantly thought of the Star Citizen trams.

Minecraft mods = $1 billion video game

I gave them $200 3 or 4 years ago obama-sad

Imagine if Minecraft was so jank that it was a fairly common, even potentially repeatable, glitch where just walking could get you falling through the planet into its core where a terrifying amalgamation of not-despawned dead player bodies are all clumped together like a Symphony of the Night boss.

There's usually a compilation of the worst bugs in each release if you search YouTube

I need to see this so badly

Not on hand, but I know there's compilation videos that show the spaghetti code hellscape for a few seconds at a time.
