Derek writes in pyramid style, not inverted pyramid. Meaning he starts with general background before getting to the newsworthy bits at the bottom.

So make sure you read it all the way, or skip to the bottom tomorrow.

And yes, let him loving finish.

Phenylalanine is likely a allergy warning, it's probably sweetened with aspartame. Do you guys sweeten your drugs?

I am a member of a little private forum and ofc it has some shitizens, and I've been trying to educate them so they can get their money back. They've also started arguing with each other about it. One of them (2-3 grand taken by croberts as best as I know) said this yesterday:

Yeah space engineers is awesome, completely different game. No mans sky is a completely different game. Elite will put out a sequel but it will still be boring as poo poo.

Elite does not look as good as SC lol, have you even played both of them? ED is a "in ship or buggy" experience. ED does great graphics with the space parts like planets and such, but that's about it.
When it comes to the ships and stations its not even close to the same fidelity.

I've found that a filter replacing the word 'fidelity' with the phrase '(by the way, I am a gullible prick and can be safely ignored)' improves quality of life in forums and comment feeds exponentially.

'Immersion' is another favourite (no prizes for 'immersed in what'). A regular expression you could run to check for instances of 'immersion' and 'fidelity' in the same paragraph, and overlay that block of text with a child's crayon drawing of a cock and balls would be browser plugin of the year, every year.

One came into the discord chat telling me to enjoy my "5 polygons" with Elite.

Oh sorry what was that? I'm playing an actual game and my attention was elsewhere.

You could say that they're simply copying the style of the original game and basing the ships on those iconic primitive shapes.

Much like Chris is copying the style of his original game, and most of the ships are two dimensional pictures.

I'm kind of glad they just stick to "fidelity" and "immersion" and don't branch out to ruin more of the English language.

All these references to 'fidelity' and now I learn they mean fidelity as in a fine reproduction, rather than fidelity of their zealot faith to Christ Roberts.

It's so they can one day say "look we haven't reset the persistence in two months that means the game actually launched two months ago, so we're actually live right now, no refunds".

They're literally going to do exactly this, it's pretty obvious.

Well, if Steam can refuse me refunds on games I bought long before the refund program, but have never been able to play, I can't see why CIG can't do the same, claiming the next patch is RTM...

Yes. That's because they are reading this forum. I started using the word bookmark for my recent revelations just yesterday.

If she isn't Sandi, as the evidence suggests, they it's someone in the CS team. However, I don't believe that Sandi would have a known alt account, knowing that once this shitshow collapses, those very same CS people are going to be spilling the beans.

This was probably already posted here, if not. Recently ~director logs from the EVE Goons came out and there was some pretty :yikes: stuff posted (eg. demanding CCP do what they want, smugging about CCP's PR guy potentially getting in trouble because of not doing what they want, etc.). It's all pretty long and mostly bleh but if you have the time and want to check them out, they're on the front page of the r/EVE subreddit at the moment called "GSF Jabber Logs."

Anyway this dumbo posted this thread about Derek for some reason.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4edr1z/what_is_the_difference_between_derek_smart_and/

quote:

The fact that The Mittani actually made some money, and then shot himself in the foot, rear end in a top hat, and hand right at the very end.

In contrast, Derek Smart shot his career to death with a shotgun right at the very beginning.

But let's talk about what's not different between them.

- They both are so narcissistic that they have lost sight of reality.
- They both have destroyed any reasonable chance of gainful employment in their respective careers in the near and long term. (OK, maybe not so much for The Mittani, he's perfectly capable of self-employment.)
- They are both responsible for creating so much rope to hang themselves with in civil and/or criminal court.

I've said that Derek Smart and The Mittani have very few differences between them in two prior threads and got downvoted to oblivion for it. By people who likely:

- have drank the kool-aid
- are huge fans of Derek Smart or The Mittani
- don't like the comparison of The Mittani to Derek Smart (which is a semi-fair reason given how insane Derek Smart has become).
- can't tell the difference between a 125mm Light Autocannon and a Dual Giga Beam Laser.

That said, I'll keep saying this as many times as I have to until either: A) The Mittani wakes the gently caress up and drinks Reality's full cup of poo poo-coffee, or B) The Imperium is wiped from the face of New Eden.
