Which means:

For anyone who has the game already, I mean, that's it. The game is a go. December 16th is worthless to us. Let's get this shit started.

Also my sig is obsolete. I am an explorer first, a trader third, and second, I am kicking your ass, because I can fly like a fucking lightning bolt and fuck your shit up, so hey, just try to step to me breh? Just try it.

Fuck. Your. Shit. Up.

I will buy this game, but only so I can immediately turn around and complain about it (and not even after I play, literally I will pay $70 to merely moan about it.)

I think that's become at least 80% of modern day game sales.

So, everytime they release a new version you have to download the entire thing.

Two nights ago I was going to fly with Pinner. I had to download an entire new game.

Checked my PC last night. It had locked up. I knew my SSD was flaky... Had to reboot.

Wouldn't boot.

Luckily I had a new SSD boot drive on hand, but Christ. I had 30 minutes of personal time yesterday and lost it all fucking with my computer.

Now I'm going through Microsoft's laughable systems to get my Windows 7 key and .iso.

Elite: Dangerous, I blame you for this.

This is not remotely true.

So when it came out you were going to play 24 hours a day to make sure nobody got "ahead" of you? Because if not, there are always gonna be people way ahead of you.

And that's not remotely the point of the game, anyway.

I have my PC working again. I was joking around on Caltrops, but I think that maybe we could try to fly again this week?

You name it. Flying my Viper takes precedence over all other things, including feeding our dogs and making eye contact with my wife.

I always had MMO OCD when I still played MMOs...

Aaaanyway. I just bought the pre-order thingy. I just hope mouse and keyboard or xbox controller will be good enough for this.
