Hey now I'm with you on most things but this has gone too far. Those jpegs are drat pretty. They'll never be released into a game but they're still pretty.

Derek Smart, will you start a Kickstarter campaign for a documentary on how you will bring down a 90 million dollar JPEG marketing company?

Yes, Grand Nagus D_Smart. Please do this. Get into contact with the miami documentary company Rakontur, most famous for Cocaine Cowboys.

Hey nice new friends, could someone do a photoshop of this image with "Cocaine CRoberts" as the title? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/Cocainecowboys_promo_cover.jpg[



Leave the cocaine and add a nice picture of the villainous jpeg trafficker.

On that topic, do you think when this all goes under a real developer could buy up all their art assets on the cheap and use them in an actual game? I bet when you include all the rejected designs there is enough to make something with.

Give it to Bioware. Star Citizen is a game that will be enhanced with choice wheels.

Mr Smart, I know your priority is probably developing the framework, networking and balancing, but why don't you hire a couple of decent graphics artists to make your game look like it's not from 20 years ago? Assuming your engine can use shaders it wouldn't even be that huge of a technical issue, just a content one.

It would be pretty cool if Derek Smart bought the assets after all this was over and then was the one to actually release Star Citizen.

the problem is, all their assets are pretty poo poo and useless without an engine to support them, I dont think there is an engine that actually exists with all their
"features", and good luck smushing something together.

Not quite hypocrite. I was simply making a joke which was not received well and then when I was in the middle of explaining with a preparation to apologize I was being talked over. When I realized I was dealing with child like maturity. I excused myself since it was time for me to go work out.

Just because Dick Wulf harassed you and your friend doesn't give you permission to be an rear end in a top hat. It's sad that it happened but it's not a license to be a shithead.


As for me not having tact and being an educator? I at least let people finish their sentences before talking over them with bullshit. This is SA not the loving Region ESC where I am dealing with professionals or my students.


I am a dork? Absolutely. I don't really have fucks to give about it. I don't spend my freetime at conventions for games that don't exist and I sure as hell don't spend 1000s of dollars on JPEGS. If you go back and check I've absolutely admitted to spending 182 which I don't need a refund for because I basically expected that money to be flushed down the toilet I made a bet and lost.. At this point I am here for the tears of redditors, dick wulf, and the brown sea at the expense of Derek Smart's retainer lawyers. So far money well spent CARRY ON GOONS :D

Let's just get a few things straight ;-) (you'll get the pun in a moment)


First, I don't care what someone's gender identity or sexual orientation is. I really don't give a flying gently caress. What I give a flying gently caress about is being deceptive in order to gain notoriety or gain material possessions. If I was homosexual (and for the record I am not) and I was dating someone and I had bought him an iPad so we could keep in contact and then suddenly I found out that he wasn't really gay he was just dating me because I have money and I give gifts to my lovers I'd be pretty pissed.


This person in question asked for financial help to get equipment to do videos for the Star Citizen fan community. They sent a drat expensive camera and some other equipment at the person's request. Admittedly the percentage of single, desperate men is probably higher in the SC community than the average population, but that is no reason to take advantage of them. I can put on a dress too if lonely old men are giving out money, but I won't because I like to think I have integrity. EDIT -- I also think dresses are probably drafty and not comfortable for me since I get cold easily. -- End Edit




Also, I expected to be Goonrathi Fleet Commander and have a Javelin gifted to me by now. You folks are slacking.
