lol at the people immediately quoting and responding to Gryphon every time he posts to lay down a sick burn.

Do you not realize it's the negative attention skinner box? He makes a post, people quote and embarrassingly fumble insults at him, he reads the mean words and claps his hands together while smiling

It's a circle of dumb. bad flaming against a stupider person who wants attention and probably shows other people afterward like "lol look at those goony goons they're such DSmart-asses aren't they??"

Just stop fuckin quoting him good god

I'm quoting you because it seems like a safe bet and I don't think anyone will get on my case for doing so.

everyone will remember 2.2c as the moment the game transitioned from tech demo to pre-alpha.

Tippis posted:

They really shouldn't rush it like that.
Better to let 2.3d be the transition from tech demo to vertical slice. From there, they can start glueing the slices together into an alpha.


It's like salami, only in reverse.

I saw a movie on the internet somewhere of someone eating a whole salami in reverse. it was.. disturbing.

Tippis posted:

See? It's a perfect analogy.

grimcreaper posted:

the problem is, it wasnt like.. normal eating. it was basicly a salami injection via the rear end. highly disturbing.

It was finally Christmas, and all through the day,
Not a Goon was shitposting; not even Eonwe.
The Goons were all feasting, and filled with great cheer,
In the hope that more Baby Pu bugs would appear.

The White Knights were nestled all snug in the 'Verse,
Defending Chris Roberts while gameplay got worse.
Sandi in fake tattoos, seeking attention,
Shed crocodile tears at a dumb nerd convention.

When from Awful App there arose such a clatter,
I rushed to my smartphone to see what's the matter.
I picked up my Samsung, quick as a flash,
A shitposter? Here? Was it Karl, or Seraph?

My excitement built, then as quickly departed,
A scrub-tier Star Citizen had said "You're Retarded."
A cacophonous clatter; Goons started to shout,
All chiming in to yell "Gryphon, ".

When what did my wondering eyes just then see,
But an internet warlord, Derek Smart (M.D.).
At the shitposter he scowled "Get thee hence."
"By the way, goons, please purchase Line of Defense."

His brow, it then furrowed. His eyes had a gleam.
His knuckles were bloody (from a vending machine).
He glanced at his refund from CIG's store,
And girded his loins for an Internet War.

"Come MeLKor, come AP, come Neurotic Jew,"
"On Beer4TheBeerGod, and Loiosh, too!"
"On The Escapist, Peter Gabriel,"
"On Sarspariller and on G0RF as well!"

"Reveal now how CIG's on its last legs,"
"With costs that outstrip income selling jpegs."
"With a toxic community, gameplay that's poo poo,"
"And a janky old engine that's 32-bit."

The Citizens rallied, and began to bash Smart;
"Our game's in development, yours is a shart!"
Smart said: "That's no matter! Your point here is moot!"
"Just wait two more weeks 'till I file my lawsuit!"

Then the citizens faltered; as since the reveal,
Of the 2.0 update they'd lost some appeal.
They were stared in the face by the reality,
That they could lose ships when they're in PVP.

They stood there confused, and posted with dread:
"This game was much better when all in my head!"
They saw just how poorly the game had been coded,
The community fractured, and quickly imploded.

Arguing increased as the game took shape,
Equivocating that to gank was to rape.
"Piracy? Murder! Fighting shouldn't take place!"
"I'll lose my Idris if there's battles in space!"

They turned on their own, and then started to brawl,
Some arguing fiercely "No combat at all!"
On the merits and downfalls the carebears did harp,
But to Goons, Merry Christmas, and to all a good PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP.

Is Gryphon really Karl? I think he's just another zealot who's attached beyond reason to SC because he's sunk around $2.5K.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

I wonder what people are thinking as reality sets in and they begin to accept the truth. That this community is not special or set apart. That there is no fun to be derived save what can be extracted from the misery of others. That the same people that harass them for no reason outside of spite will be even more relentless if the game is fun.

That we really are out there.
