I think the INN guys will get off lightly compared to some of the streamers and the guys from r/ds to be honest.

This is the stream I was talking about

I tried to watch it but failed even skipping through most of it, it's far more painful than the usual INN stream because the non-INN streamer guest, in the top right, is possibly the most boring person on Earth.

it says a lot about what they are doing when you have to explain to the people who watch SC as a hobby who they even are and what they do.

I think I saw a graphic that said "SC_Relay" with a satellite a few weeks ago and didn't even know what it was, and now you just managed to explain it. I'm still not even sure what [REDACTED] is. I thought that was a joke you all were doing until TheAgent saying they were being paid.

It's the same principle as people who are thread regulars here going "Wait, that's a real thing?!" when people talk about "Perverse The Verse" or "Adverse The Verse" or whatever those 3-4 "erse" word fan podcasts are.

Good point.

I also accidentally learned another good term from this thread a few days ago, when I tried to look up a non-sensical saying a CEO of something or other would use when questioned about vaporware demos. "Squirrels and sea monkeys."

Sea Monkeys: When you eat too much lettuce and then have diarrhea.

I never did figure out that CEO's saying. There were zero hits on it beyond his own statement. It was apparently his own creation.

Fake edit: It was Rony Abovitz of the "Magic Leap" project, which has apparently raised $1.4 billion in funding, and is valued at $4.5 billion. Step it up, crobbler, you're small potatoes in the "bullshit tech with faked demos" game.

Think bigger. Just do it!

He still seems friendly with the INN2 guys "Community Manager for Relay".

The INN2 crowd all seem to have calmed down a lot, I think getting shafted by that Wolf Larsen guy by creating content for years without pay, while now suspecting there was a secret CIG cash pot they didn't know about has helped them. They still seem to think there's going to be a game though.

This, and also Beer you need to GET MAD. Use Pgabs as your inspiration. I don't know if you think getting mad is something only dumbs do, or you have a view of the world where logic rules everything, or you think CIG WINS if they make you mad.

Put your emotions into this son. GET MAD GET ANGRY and let it out. The reason that you were stuck in denial forever and is actually still in denial now is because you never got mad

What good does getting mad do me? I've already invested enough emotional and mental energy into this farce, and at this point nothing CIG does surprises or particularly bothers me. If they gently caress me over and don't refund the money then yeah, I'll get mad and do everything in my power to make them return what I'm owed, but outside of that what does it matter? The bottom line is that I've finally accepted that CIG is hosed, Star Citizen is a scam, and that there's nothing that can be done to save it. Given how far down the rabbit hole I went that's a pretty significant thing for me.

That or the SQ42/CIG use of it to sound military and official. The cast was [REDACTED] for Sq42 for awhile.

I get that we have been using it as a joke for years but I didn't realize people were actually talking about an actual SC podcast called [REDACTED] until TheAgent said they were being paid like INN and the streamers to give CIG good publicity.

These guys have so much impact and market share that people who watch the Star Citizen clusterfuck on a daily basis have no idea who they are. SC_Relay was news to me just like [REDACTED] was. It's kinda funny in a really really sad way. Both on the people involved and their dreams of popularity and the fact CIG is paying for this level of visibility.

Even after a year and a half I'm still learning something new. I really thought it was a jape on the Illfonic Star Marine thing.

So they had both INN and [REDACTED].

Is Relay still doing transcripts, explicitly for only ad money now? Maybe Wolf can be a Trailblazer and sponsor them.

XK posted:

I always use "crobbler", instead of the more apparent "crobber". "Crobber" is much closer to the actual name, and "crobbler" adds an 'L' in from nowhere, but I justify it by imagining Chris Roberts as the McDonald's Hamburgler, who always ran around saying "robble robble" while blatantly grabbing and stealing and trying to get away with things. "Crobbler" also has a better mouth feel.

In addition, wearing a striped outfit might be fitting for his future.

Derek, spill some deets or just stop. Those tweets are just about you getting unbanned from fdev forums again, aren't they? Whatever they are about, they won't pay-off unless employees are locked out, there are pictures of people in blue windbreakers with 3 letters on the back carrying boxes of documents out of an office building, or investigation warrants are unsealed.
