Midnight Voyager posted:I feel like I'm explaining the meaning of really basic words here. You're watching cognitive dissonance in action via syllogistic fallacy. An innocent person would <not hurt the thing i like> therefore if <x hurts thing i like> and person is <doing x> person cannot be innocent, therefore A WITCH! Throw in the emotional development of a pre-teen and you've got a very special snowflake.

AP posted:No but he's a media professional and should know better than to become the story, which is what he's done twice now by issuing sourced comments that aren't true. Even if it's only to cover his own arse he shouldn't leave himself open like that, issuing press releases with inaccurate information in them is stupid too like saying there's a planet and 2 moons to explore in 2.0. Knowing David Swofford from NCSoft, I can say that he IS a nice guy. However... There's an odd poison that I've encountered with nearly everyone that started their career in the computer games industry by working for Origin. It's a general sense of hegemony and blind confidence. Perhaps the best way to express the mentality is one of "We've been doing this far longer than you, so take your new ideas on development and publishing and gently caress off." David worked for Origin before his time at NCSoft. In fact, many of the North American NCSoft staff came from Origin and of those, many of them drank the aforementioned kool-aid. The marketing and press for Tabula Rasa, as many of you may recall, was superb. However, with its demise, there was a huge shakeup at the executive level all the way down that resulted in nearly everyone from the old Origin days being scattered to the winds. The point being, he's damned good at his job. Even if the product is going to be gigabytes worth of disappointment. In his defense, he is quite kind and congenial. Sincerely so. But, he's going to do the job he was hired for, with blinders on, just like the old guard from Origin. And, I wish it were different.

AP posted:No wouldn't do much, would be funny if he went on a rant though. I understand and I think it's a lovely that after all the effort posts you put in on RSI trying to actually help them make a decent game they turned on you for something trivial that isn't even against their stupid rules and are so embarrassed at loving up again they won't even admit it. I doubt he would go on a rant. His job, which he clearly doesn't get to do enough, is to put out fires and not start them.

Midnight Voyager posted:That doesn't make sense. If someone was innocent and had action taken against them, they would surely go for help. If you're going to accuse someone of a crime, and you're not 100% sure they're guilty, do it from at least an arms length away. Innocent people generally have pretty strong reactions to being accused of something wrongly. But that's just my experience.

Are you Wulf in this story?  https://np.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart/comments/3qkoud/derek_smart_fanfiction/ quote:Ben’s huge fist slammed into the backer’s face, shattering his jaw and relocating his nose. Blood sprayed across the floor as the backer flew backwards, coming to rest against the far wall. “I wanted honey glazed ham, you loving prick!” screamed Ben, white specks of saliva appearing at the corners of his mouth. “Honey glazed, you human being, not a goddamn roast with apple sauce! On your feet, you loving bitch, and get this abomination out of my sight!” The backer rose slowly to his knees, his arms shaking. He crawled to Ben’s feet and began collecting the various plates arrayed around his master. Ben shook his head, half turned away, then brought his leg around in an arc. The backer barely saw the kick coming, and his weak body had no chance of evading it. Ben’s foot slammed into the poor creature’s stomach, flipping him over and sliding him back again. His tormentor strode across the room and picked up the backer with one gigantic hand. “Leave the roast, you fucker” sneered Ben. “Get your pox-ridden arse back to the kitchens, and bring the loving ham!”

I agree, my interactions with David, both in emails and in person, has been nothing but pleasant and professional. He has accommodated myself and even a few goons with access to some of the live events. I always got the feeling his hands were tied when dealing with the various meltdowns (The CR letter, Ortwin's legal threat, etc), as he's given a narrative and told to execute it, rather than have the agency to enact policy that would better serve Star Citizen.

Has it ever been suggested to CIG that maybe they change from the arcane and confusing metric system for their ships to something more immersive? Most us Americans don't have an easy grasp of "kilograms". Instead I propose something that the majority of backers and potential buyers would be much more familiar with. I am of course talking about "the Lesnick". Instead of something ridiculous like the Caterpillar weighing in at 84,516 kilograms (seriously the gently caress is that?), it would be much more understandable to say something like "28 Lesnicks".

aleksendr posted:Add Joël Robuchon, Paul Bocuse, Pierre Hermé and Alain Ducasse to the list and i could nearly agree. Does Joel have a cookbook? I've eaten at his place in Vegas twice (the cheap one, not the good one), but for me guys like Joel fall in the category of "amazing chefs that I probably won't ever be able to duplicate" while people like Alton mostly just give general advice and science, and people like Ina give "normal" recipes that anyone that isn't a retard should be able to reasonably duplicate, and the test kitchen is just all around awesome because they actually will make a dish like 40 times and taste all of them, while I'm pretty sure lovely cookbooks (including those from famous chefs) will take a common recipe and change three things and say it's theirs and awesome and never even actually make it. My personal best example of the latter is when I made a Emeril recipe for crab rangoons that involved probably $35 in ingredients (most of which was a significant quantity of real crab) and I ended up with something that I liked less than the 6 dollar rangoons you'd get from even lovely chinese restaurants that they just fry out of a freezer bag. That might just be me though.

I've never met the man personally, but given his background I imagine he does a very good job of maintaining his composure. Clearly he talents are wasted at CIG, and I wonder if there will be a point when he realizes his affiliation will do him more harm than good.

Still behind on the thread but holy poo poo, no matter how many times it happens, I can't get over the echo-chamber powers of reddit:Beer4TheBeerGod posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3zvjan/how_far_back_are_cs_tickets_delayed_right_now/ https://gyazo.com/20d99f9c1ce052b25dcfa3338d367ba3 Answers question with information directly relevant to the question = -6 points. I know this is far from the most insane thing in the thread, but the fact that it's just a straight-up useful answer without any connection to accusations leveled at him, and it still gets down-voted, really gets me for some reason. E: I mean he even nods that Sandi says she's working towards a solution, it's almost a positive comment about CIG's CS setup. surc fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jan 8, 2016 |

Pretty much all customer service roles involve being the bad guy, and im sure nobody wants to. They are given scripts and guidelines and they have to follow those as if their job depends on it...because it does.
