there was a quote from some recent video about how SQ42 was considered the main game development now, with freeplay and adventuring and poo poo to be developed after that.

but this is the underlying problem - the team won't ever say anything clearly enough to be interpreted unambiguously, because they want to be able to pull the old "black is white" trick later. they'll change language and talk about "shifts in focus" or "evolution", rather than the black and white development targets they committed to in the fundraiser. it's political doublespeak.

a great example of this is the "rooms system", which is now a complete joke. the initial promise was ongoing personalised rooms, that would update depending on what you did in the universe; for example, a unique starmap for you based on the procedurally generated whatever in the game, hangars that had customised firing ranges and whatever else. but now they're saying "it's done. what's there is the room system", and the excuse is that "how we understand the rooms system has 'evolved' beyond what was initially conceived." this might sound great to Joe Backer in a live video feed, but in reality is just them sliding off the hook for making promises they - once again - couldn't deliver.

I really hope someone is keeping track of all the broken promises so it can be posted in one place for people to admire.

I think if Chris doesn't get Sandi's "acting" with real actors produced and out there, she's gonna divorce him. Again. That along with how badly he wants to foist his "genius" onto the world, means SQ42 is his Alpha and Omega right now. What on earth could motivate him to keep working once the 1-star reviews start rolling in, and the cash dries up?

When someone smiles the way Sandi smiles, my first thoughts are not: "She looks nice" but rather: "Those are shark eyes + teeth. Get it away from me."

Funny you should mention that; I showed Sandi's IMDB profile to a (female) friend back in October, and she said "She looks like a bitch. Girls can always tell."

Bootcha thought it was girly high-school-ish drama; I assured him it was not. Some things you just know. Granted, some things are also helped along by a heaping amount of scandal and adding two and two, but whatever.

Normal people can pick up on the little signals from sociopaths, even if only on a subconscious level. When a real person smiles, it shows not only in the mouth, but the eyes, how the body is held, and a gazillion other little cues that a normal person picks up on. When a sociopath knows that it's time to smile in order to achieve whatever goal for themselves they think the smile will help accomplish, they approximate the gesture by imitating others. "I turn up the sides of my mouth and show my teeth." They think they're mimicking a human emotion, while the rest of us have an "uncanny valley" response and instinctively back the gently caress away.

It's fascinating and scary at the same time.

yikes imagine being that warped.

quote:

Jeez dude - seriously - are you new to this???

The breaking up of points is bloody early 2000 trolling - You pick out the easiest to attack points and make split commentary on it. Making sure to avoid all context and acknowledgement of anything else in the thread. In the hopes that each new page allows your narrative to be what people judge the conversation on. However this doesn't work on Reddit as the responses are included in the thread - seriously go back to the main page and try and find this thread you'll see all my responses are contained to you in chronological order.

Again the debate by attrition and misdirection - this is what Derek Smart falls into is he your hero?

So you read my whole post and conveniently ignored all the points in which I agreed with you about CIG moderation and still insisted on dragging out of context points - just for the purpose of extending the debate. But you couldn't respond to the post in total - nope because that would fracture your narrative.

The fact you keep saying "it's only a conversation" is basically Sealioning 101 - and blatantly obvious at that. The worst of it all - the really worst of it - is you're probably not actually a bad person.

You're likely someone who has joined the crowd of people incredulous that Star Citizen has accumilated 100 million plus - you're probably a Goon based on your posting but I couldn't be arsed trawling through your posting history for confirmation - so I'll admit that is speculation.

But regardless of that - you like Beer - he might be your best friend and you dislike people's attitude towards and comments about him and that's ok you're allowed to stick up for your mates.

So yeah you're here - ready to defend your mate - again for only being banned from being on a private forum for a private company. I don't have an issue with you sticking up for him. However its the way you don't seem to care what or who you use to defend him, is what I have an issue with.

Now you're here pissing off people - baiting the passionate ones into saying something stupid and using lovely TV Drama debate show tactics to attack a group of people who for the most part just wanted to be excited about something. Oh sure you can point out all the people with flaws and things you don't like - in your so terribly polite way - I mean thousands of people have been banned from the CIG forums both permanent and temporary - but all of their accurate and justified bans are negated because of 1 action now it seems. And it doesn't matter that someone agrees with you its hosed up like I have. You're now so invested in winning you're Derek Smarting this till the end, you're going to keep trying every avenue of attack until you win and puff out your chest and pretend that win negates all your fails.

So here is where I implore you - be a better human being - be someone your family would be proud of. What would your mother think of you using the horrific history of Lynching as a comparison to someone being banned from posting on a forum? She'd wonder where she went wrong with you that you would associate the two together.

Be a Better person Tallardar - stop tarring everyone with the same brush something you seek justice over for the treatment of Beer and by extension the Goons - stop perpetuating hate.

:laffo: at them trying to guit trip me by assuming my parents would take umbrage with me calling CIG's light treatment of pedophilic content pathetic when compared to how they acted towards Beer. Or that me using the civil rights movement to prove that people take offensive acts to call for positive change is something they'd also be offended by.

This is the same guy who said this

quote:

if you can't engage sensibly don't engage at all.

I don't care if it was obvious bait dude - if you're putting Pedophiles anywhere higher than the lowest rung on the ladder you're making yourself and the community look bad.

You can choose not to comment - who cares if they think its a win - who cares if they dance around saying they got you.

Its words on the internet - in a couple of months you wont even remember this conversation but anyone affected by pedophilia will remember you as the person who said there were people worse than pedophiles who were probably more acceptable.

And in a couple of months when this is all forgotten you'll loving hate yourself for writing that.
