If FYAD is an echo chamber then the echos would just be various fart noises. I'm not sure that's the right use of the term.

Actually, that sounds about spot on.

I thought one of the biggest rules at SA was to "LURK MOAR" before posting in threads.

Yet here we've had a mod descend on a thread, with a couple of his desperately unfunny lackeys, who admits a) he's not read the thread b) doesn't know any of the posters c) doesn't understand the thread's humour and running jokes, and then immediately start handing out probations and bans, and worse trying to crack "funnies" and typing "LMAO" to his FYAD buddies pathetic attempts at humour.

You are being too harsh

SNAKE: I'm 99.999999% sure it's just bullshit from fyad meanies trying to ruin people's fun after they got GBS shut down.

MEI LING: Remember, Snake, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to locate people through extensive NSA computer background checks to zero in their global position coordinates, and you'll make him laugh forever,and not look like a hosed up weirdo who has multiple paid forum accounts and a combined total word count about the fail rear end videogame to outdo the library of congress."

SNAKE: Their pink forum is a retarded circlejerk even worse than this one and they have been hilariously insecure about every fyad-lite.

my rectum actually did prolapse from so much laughing half way through reading this. This stuff should come with a warning, I'm not used to this much concentrated funny.

you seem really upset about mods and fyad. it might be time for a break from the net, my dude.

What happened with you, Google Butt? I remember you coming into the Discord, and you seemed to be a really cool dude. Now it's like you're all anti-SC thread.

Libluini: May 18, 2012; I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...; Grimey Drawer

MeLKoR posted:

You know Butt, I've been here for so long I don't even know where to go when SA goes down one day. Reddit is a shithole, god, the entire internet is a shithole. Worrisome as that perspective may be I will face that day with stoicism, happy in the knowledge that FYAD is even more hosed than me.

FYAD posters could really use a break from their echo chamber. Or maybe I'm wrong and the gang will fit right in on 4chan.

If SA ever goes down we'll probably suddenly do something productive with our time, so don't worry about this.

Meanwhile at CIG...

When VR in 2D makes Star Citizen a completely different game

Quoting this because I think it's important to note, for those unfamiliar with VR, that this guy installed Virtual Desktop in order to play Star Citizen, and got a "sense of awe" from it. Virtual Desktop is exactly what it says on the tin: a virtual environment in which you can see a flat, 2D representation of your PC's monitor.

Your environment might be in 3D, but your display, alas, is simply a flat screen. (Yes there are ways to do 3D video and get actual 3D, but Star Citizen is not coded in such a way.)

So this guy plays the exact same 2D experience he gets on his ordinary monitor, but with a VR headset, fully bypassing the purpose of VR, claims it gives a "sense of awe" and begins extrapolating his ridiculous experience into what the future of Star Citizen will be when VR is "turned on."

These people are loving pathological.

The mods and admins seem to have a weird hate for laugh threads. The XBox One thread was hated. The Bitcoin thread was ejected from GBS. The Microsoft thread only lives on in YOSPOS. This SC thread gets tons of hate. It seems like only YOSPOS tolerates schadenfreude type threads.

What's so wrong with a thread full of people laughing at something?

Today I am hollow - empty. A soldier without a leader, I've no pride, no cause, no valour.

I don't know yet what they will call yesterday. Bloody Sunday? The Parpsday Massacre? It doesn't matter what the younger generations will call it. I've lived it; I need no sensational catchphrase to remind me of that day. The void in my mind will suffice.

Where should I go? What's the next crossroads I'm rolling towards? Does it matter? Will it? Perhaps I can rest my head against a fortunately carved rock in this desert dry, and embrace what dreams may come. The sun's setting soon; nothing but mirages off in the distance, and the occasional cactus.

But I long for something more than a warm bed. There's a thirst no canteen can quench, a hunger no slop can sate, that groans in my belly. I long for a purpose. I'm no man to forge my own path, I've always latched onto the will of those greater than myself. Propagandist the Lesser, they could call me. Propagandist the Loyal, I'd interject. I know the righteous path when I see it, I just need guidance to spot it.

And as I lay down, aching in muscles I didn't know I had, I turn my head east (keeps the sun out my eyes while it sets), and I spy four figures, gesturing towards me. I'm startled - who the hell is wandering this arid wasteland, other than my own sad self? I nearly tripped over my own rock pillow as I jumped to my feet.

Four men? No, they're closer now. Two... and a half... and a half again! They continue closer.

The first two figures seem friendly: It's a man and his dog. The dog's got goggles for some reason. Must be from strange lands. Some place called "Floor-da". Never seen that on a map.

Another man, smells of ale. And armpits. The stench is strong, but his steely gaze seems reassuring. He's quiet.

Last figure's just a donkey. No saddle, no pack, no blinders, just a naked donkey. I asked why they don't ride it, or at least let the beast carry their burdens. The dog, surprisingly, spoke. Said "packs are useless, he's deaf and dumb". Seems that the rear end follows them and keeps mostly to himself, so they let him alone.

I don't know these men, but they beckon me to follow. Said they're on an adventure, that there's a great jester in the West, and they're going to see him. Admissions free, which is fortunate since I've not two coins to rub together. I hoist my bag on my shoulder, hopeful again that I'll find my own purpose. I leave my lonely rock behind, and start this new path in earnest.

Here you go, downtrodden goon

This is a bizarre post. One of the rules also states that you follow the forums guidelines and that mods/admins can enforce them. This what the admin did. They weren't unjustified probations and neither was the ban.
