Chalks posted:The way I approached it was that anyone who replied to the thread saying "you're lying" was a lost cause, a cultist that is already so far gone that I'll never convince them so why even try. Instead, I replied as a message to any normal person who might read the thread. It's a bit surprising how so many of them think that "you associate with known trolls" is a convincing argument, it's like babby's first fallacy. I guess that's its appeal? They know that trying to argue it forces you to their level, while they can use it over and again as long as you don't They're like those dudes who think they win an argument when their imagined opponents cede the floor. Hint to reddit archivist: sometimes people stop engaging you because they don't believe you're susceptible to reason, it's a sign of disrespect

MedicineHut posted:Actually It seems to me Chris would actually be the fisherman´s wife. The fisherman being represented by the dev teams working for him. And the funding whales are the flounder. Big difference: no moral to the story. When all is over, the fisherman's wife (Chris) and the wife of the fisherman's wife (Sandi) won't be living in a filthy shack or working on a smelly boat. They'll still have a nice mansion and shiny (leased) cars. And the Fisherman's Wife will keep dreaming on. NSFW

Something Awful is great for that, it's a place devoted to idiocy and redemption like that dude who posted the thread about help CPS stole my kids totally unfairly dudes and then posted pics of his hoarder's paradise run-down trailer with broken floors, while having spent something like $2000 on a new gaming computer. A couple years later he made a new thread about how he got his poo poo together and became a functioning parent dunno the moral of it but it was a great story

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Something Awful is great for that, it's a place devoted to idiocy and redemption That guy used to post in the GBS Star Citizen thread, laughing at everyone who'd wasted money on Star Citizen. I guess it's a sign that no matter who stupid you are you can delude yourself into thinking you're smarter than someone else. Not saying some Star Citizen whales won't lose their kids over the game but you'd have to assume it's going to be a very small number. Kinda like Moma posting here, either he has some interest in trying to damage control for CIG or he's really, really dumb. Even Octopode who probably still has unrealistic expectations for the outcome of all this, liked trolling the thread a bit and hopes for a good game, even he, still sold enough of his ships to at least break even. So there's sort of harmless dumb and really loving dumb.

Star Citizen had every opportunity to lead the space(game) race, but time and time again was beaten by its competitors. It seems competition doesn't faze CR to deliver a product but it seems to make him mad and that's very telling. Slowly but surely it will be left in the dust, and there will be tears. no_recall fucked around with this message at 10:08 on May 3, 2016 |

Well there's always somebody out there who's dumbest in a context that you can laugh at, that's pretty much the meaning of life. The really, really stupid guys are the ones who think they could never be that dumbest guy themselves, they're the ones who go Octopode and defend their stupid with increasingly desperate fervor until they at last have to slink away and force feed themselves humility one bitter spoonful at a time. To all you Octopodes out there I wanna say that admitting you're capable of being stupid and wrong is a cathartic experience which makes your life simpler and more enjoyable (and also cheaper)

CoD's been leaning heavily into milsci for years now and would've written the space FPS thing off as a coincidence if it weren't for Minkoff's "Top Gun" sales pitch. That's not just a burn, that's a cigarette in CIG's eye. Also I just noticed moma's new av and approve

An old college buddy of mine who I don't really talk to much any more started working for Foundry 42 here in the UK a while back. I keep wanting to ask him for the latest info on what's going on, but I haven't really talked to him much since leaving college (I'm a terrible friend) and it'd somehow seem off.

You can start trying reestablish communications, its not like he will start feeling the despair immediately. Once it kicks in he'll tell you everything without you asking.

Berious posted:Someone should tell him space engineers exists and even has multiplayer persistent servers for his miner grabass dreams These guys don't seem to know how to use the internet or actually play games. Which is why they think PC gaming needs saving. They don't actually know what's going on. They're all either like 45+ or really weird technologically inept nerds. They could be playing ED but that requires actually doing something that isn't reddit or dreaming up features for a game that can't ever exist. They could play Space Engineers and live out their space miner dreams in a world with cool deformable physics and crafting. They could be playing EvE and using their advanced autism to carve out a tiny space empire in some corner of the galaxy. It's easier to just post on reddit because nothing is more safe and secure for these neurotic idiots than a game they never have to play.

CIG dont sell truth - they sell dreams to broken people. In order to keep his job he has decided to sell dreams as well it seems. Shady as the fat fucker chris is. integrity isnt worth much these days.

I've spent the last ten pages thinking wistfully of Battlefield: Vietnam while I caught up. Although I deeply hope the new one actually is WWI. Not only would I buy the poo poo out of "Verdun but with better graphics and maps" but the shift back towards "historical" shooters after everyone dunked on Croberts with space games would be too loving funny to miss.
