I kickstarted it 11 years ago, I'm sure squadron 42 will be out any day now, right?

Luckily, I really wanted a space sim, so I kickstarted elite too. It was far less hyped and star citizen fans always big up how they're not the same scope (which is true if you ignore everything else about SC), but at least it was released and very enjoyable.

I usually try star citizen out every time I get a new PC to see if it's any better just to make myself happy that I never sunk money into ship preorders etc

In the UK, as long as you are able to track your finances well enough to ensure you repay the balance in full each month (you can arrange for this to happen automatically), there's no reason not to use a credit card.

You should especially use it for purchases over £100 as by law card issuers are jointly liable for problems with goods purchased, so if I have a warranty issue the retailer won't help with I can go through section 75 with my bank

I have never purchased something on a credit card and had it on the balance long enough to pay interest though, the rates are insane.

No-one in Britain would even think about tax implications, because there is a generous tax allowance on sales of private possessions, and private vehicle sales are wholly exempt

Last time I sold a vehicle the guy paid me via a bank transfer and the money was in the account by the time I'd loaded by banks app to check. So yeah, very different. I haven't touched a note in at least four years

It felt to me like there was an idea for a scene that was cut somewhere in the process with them having to deal with there being borders on earth, but the idea of the bunker being in Vermont remained and was explained with this throwaway line
