does the excuse "its an alpha" work when the alpha is getting noticeably worse over time?

LOL Sasparilla (or whatever).

Has he vanished completely since revealing that hilariously poor decision? I don't think I've seen that blue pony avatar since then. It feels like we ran him off with relentless mocking - though who could resist?

Sasparilla come back! Your 2.0 experience diaries were gold (and even more hilarious in retrospect since you had $2500 sunk at the time)

Something to think about whenever the "it's just an alpha" defense comes up.

If the idea is "it's an alpha. we're just testers" is true- imagine how actual QA testers and teams would react to constantly non-functioning horseshit being pushed to them. They have bosses and job expectations too usually, and while yes it is their job to find bugs, I'd think the 2nd time a programmer sent something to testing and it immediately crashed multiple times that'd be about the time the QA manager would come to me and my boss and tell me that programmer needed to go.

QA and testers expect to see something vaguely functioning put in front of them. They expect to be digging in to edge cases and seeing were different points of integration may be causing problems. QA doesn't expect to be sending your code back because it can't even load up correctly.

This is true, a friend of mine used to do alpha testing and he told me about working on Wipeout 2097 and his job was to try and get the game to gently caress up by doing everything possible on every corner of every track, he said it was dull as gently caress and the only moment of excitement was the rare time when he got the game to break.

He's just lying there, you wouldn't notice if it dropped to 5 fps. It's a smart use of the limited amount of fps, this way they can have more fps in intense combat areas.

I've seen glitches... glitches that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a developer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what fidelity means. Glitches... Glitches have a face... and you must make a friend of glitches. Glitches and broken promises are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with The Stimpire... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to penectomy some children. We left the camp after we had penectomied the children for the Stimpire, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every carefully rendered arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out and replace them with liquid metal; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a laser... a laser (with recoil) right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were goons... trained commandos. These men who fought with their hearts, who had fidelity, who had children, who were filled with the worst kind of electricity... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are Smart... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to grief without feeling... without passion... without paarping... without paarping! Because it's paarping that defeats us.

Yeah, it was accidental. Didn't stop him from making a post that was like 'So I was having sex with my wife and I cut my dick open and it was bleeding a lot - should I go to the doctor? It's been a few days and it still really hurts. Did I mention that I was having sex with a woman?'

I have a feeling, based off his recent posts and general Star Citizen stuff, that he's divorced. Nothing to base it off, just a hunch - after all, would a happily married man defend Sandi's honor or whatever?

I... I'm not sure I want to ask, but how the hell do you cut your dick open during sex? Is his wife a blender?
