Hello Commandos
If I jam my Leap Motion under my speaker it stops it cutting out (started last night).
This is the story of how I found an actual use for a Leap Motion, hopefully some of you enjoyed it

Yeah, it's live now. No email verification needed so you can enter a garbage name+email and connect.

Also- I like that Derek has tasteful decorating sense. That really has come as a surprise to me, given the disorderly nature of his games.

Derek, please consider this:

At the moment, all that counts in your effort to bring accountability to the whole Star Citizen chaos is how the public perceives you, because that gives you press coverage. I live in Germany, so I am too far detached from American media to know who this person is you are talking to. All I know is what people posted. If it is true and this guy says all these things (they are quotes, so yes it is true) it means he is basically "Hitler 2.0" in the eyes of A LOT of people. It doesn't matter what he is (game developer) or whether he has the right to free speech to say all this. In the public eye he is scum. And you chose to talk to him.

In the public eye, "Derek Smart going into an interview with this Vox Day guy and owning him thoroughly" will still only be "Smart talked to that nazi degenerate about a videogame, he must be really desperate to go talk to this scum". No matter how much you want to believe you can (and I believe you can) own this guy. IT DOES NOT MATTER. Your credibility will take a hit you might not recover from. Roberst will gloat like never before and the cultists will celebrate.

Basically you are endangering all the success you and only you have so far made in bringing to light what a scam SC really is because of who you are, i.e. because people took you serious. You are jeopardizing all this.


EDIT: too late...

Do any of you think long impassioned speeches are actually going to chance his mind? When Derek Smart commits to a bad idea, he commits hard.

You know, I know y'all gotta :justpost: but when you skip 800 posts at a time, it's like some Quantum Leap bullshit, trying to figure out what the hell's been happening

So the greatly anticipated blog was just a tepid recap, Karl said some stupid poo poo, #winning, then Derek quit but not really, false alarm, then everyone was like gently caress it, post anime but one guy was like "nooooo" but then Eonwe edited his quote so it look like he was like "anime yesssssssss"

Is this more or less where we are at now?

That's pretty much it, from my personal perspective I also began to understand the true power of Whitesnake and discovered an actual use for a Leap Motion.
I also fell in love all over again with posters of all corners of the world and I found a new admiration for the human spirit which lifted me into a very happy mood, which I am still in.
That mood was further enhanced by seeing you post here along with all the other good posting pals I have met.

Derek, please consider this:

It's done, he's talking to the guy now and I don't see what the big deal is, this is the same guy Chris Roberts tried to get to help him launch the Wing Commander reboot with EA "I also had the responsibility of going through Chris's plans in great detail when Star Citizen was still a Wing Commander reboot with a license from EA and a $25M budget."

There was some document of this on screen but I wasn't quick enough to get a screen grab.

So if Chris Roberts and Derek Smart have both spoken to this guy at least Derek's wife hasn't song the Nazi national anthem yet, Chris Roberts can't say that.
