I'm okay with my taxes. 1200 funnybux for 15 minutes of work seem fair.

Mine aren't actually too bad, just not getting a return. Owe a little on the federal side (no idea why, I tell work to withhold whatever is needed), got a little back stateside, evens out to basically nil.

But I miss the days when I'd get a nice hefty check this time of year. Especially since my car insurance bill is due in a couple weeks....

Adulting sucks.

90%? of what if I may ask.

90% of 100 obviously

We rated your PC at 100% and therefore estimate you can play 997 of the top 1000 most popular games listed on PCGameBenchmark - at a Recommended system level.

I wonder which 3 games require more than 100%

 

[Nerisylie]

Oh that’s what the pc rating means?

Crysis, Dwarf Fortress, and the game we shall not speak of......

I lost my brain and thought taxes were due this week vs in April. They dont take too long but still had some minor panic in the moment.

So many of them yet not enough content....I wish Null Hypothesis updated fast with adding more girls and scenes.

Let me guess, Chris Roberts' "game title" that should have come out in 2014?

I remember being excited about that mess (Star Citizen) ages ago. It's crazy that so much money has been dropped on it by backers / "players"

I still have my shiny metal 'Rear Admiral' card I got in 2013 or w.e.... Good times. Pretty sure CR killed Game Kickstarters.

That's the story of every crowdfunded MMO. Rip AoC.

Star Citizen Devs deserve all the money they take from the supporters.....at a certain point they earned my respect.
I mean at the amount of money they have gotten they probably should just put it in investment fund then release more PROMISE bigger ships for bigger whales.
Best money grab model I have ever seen and it is somehow sustainable....
They should make their corpo logo a Star with shades...

Does members+ get reset often? I got it and a while back and now it's gone.

Oooh, each day just uncovers more and more mess with this game.
Very telling name this project has.

Ashes of Creation was stupid, they had no cool stuff to Pre Sell DLC.
Star Citizen promises ships that look cool....it is going to be so hilarious that even if the game somehow releases I doubt people would enjoy it.
I mean newcomers will be outpaid buy any backer and balance will probably suck with the ton of stuff the biggest whales have given.

Just send a ticket to a mod if you lost it and really had it.

It was so hilarious though....I mean they promised stuff that is not even economically possible with such model and people still gave them money.
Still we get ton of good documentary videos on it and how the drama continues to unfold.

With all the info about the project coming out right now having no cool stuff seems to be the least of their problems.

I wonder if they have any even valuable assets that they could sell off since I doubt they have any real value as a game studio.
I mean I doubt their IP is worth much...

The Idea of the game was cool, Eve online in fantasy setting, at least what i was able to understand.
And realisation of that idea, wasnt bad, as far as i know.
all bad stuff happened because Steven Sharif fucked up with money from beginning, didn't tell anyone, and tried to manage a solution.

I didnt pay any money for AoC, but I was hopefull.

Thank you, I will try this and pray.

I mean the solution would be just get all the crowdfunding money put it in a blackjack hand double or nothing....that is probably the same probability of making a good game anyway maybe even less.

Such a shame about this one:

Hmm, wonder if I ever got a code for Torment or Wings... I guess based on the list, it wasn't too bad. Mandate got cancelled and Star Shitizen (more specifically SQ42) is probably never going to see the light of day. Divinity, Wasteland and Beautiful Isolation were good ones, SToneheart was fun even though I dont think it ever got to the end, And Ofcourse Blood Machines is great stuff.

What I learned from SC was to never go in 'bigly'.
