Busted

Shitizens still don't get how my plan works; even though I tend to use my social media posts as cited links in my blogs and statements. It's uncanny to me that people can be so dumb as to ignore the obvious. Kinda like my Quora response to Star Citizen (over 1300 views to date) which has them in knots over on /r/ds because somehow they can't reconcile why I would even respond, let alone in the manner that I did. Because somehow, they are of the opinion that I want to turn people away from the project, watch it burn etc, this despite the fact that since it's pure and utter shite, my sole purpose is to have people try it for themselves, see that I'm right, then either run far away, or tell their friends to get a refund or run away. And those who do try and like it enough to spend money on it, will be part of the rage machine down the road when the collapse comes.

They're clueless.

That's what some of these Shitizen clowns don't get. NONE of us are out to hurt anyone. I don't know about about other leakers, by my sole purpose, since day one, has always been about accountability. Which is why my target remains the project and those heading it. Like anyone is going to risk ruining someone's job and/or livelihood just to score points and lols against some inconsequential rear end-clowns on the Internet. At the end of the day, if CIG sees something that's false, the onus is on them to take the necessary action and prove it to be false. It really is that simple. It's not like they can't afford the legal bills.

They won't care, everyone is my alt.

I'm Smarticus!

Honestly Star Marine looks pretty bad but this is exactly what they need to change the narrative after that horrific livestream, the super-invested will find reasons to like it.

edit: even looks like moma was right about the 12v12

Derek intimated in the live chat today that Chris is terrified to show SQ42 before it's "Ready" because he thinks a bad first reveal will cause overwhelming reputation damage (he's probably right). So there's likely a mountain of buggy, half-finished single player content that they're sitting on but can't release, and instead we get Disco Lando in a clown suit.

It's worse than that. My sources - as of 48hrs ago - told me that SQ42 doesn't even exist as a "game". Just a bunch of bad parts. No vertical slice.

I was just going to comment that I looked at WTF's stream and the first things I heard were:

"I'm at D"
"No the server's crashing."
"Oh yeah there it goes"

Well kinda paraphrased because with my slow typing that was a few minutes ago.

I thought we all assumed that. All of everything they've shown for the last several years appears to only exist as disjointed programming exercises.

In all honesty that would not suprise me the least, as we've all seen since day 1 it's been all smoke and mirrors.

PTU aim date gets pushed back to 22 dec and newsletter says no 2.6 today. Livestream happens. people making hundreds of posts about cancelling their subscription. Now suddenly you can play 2.6 ptu if you are a subscriber that has half the features. Interesting.

Okay, since I've woken up this morning, I've watched, listened, I've CAUGHT UP WITH THE THREAD.

And this has without doubt been the most entertaining time I've ever had cringing, pointing and being embarrassed by proxy.

"Tonights stream made me regret pledging for SC. I'm serious. Aside from the appalling production quality of the stream itself, what content that was shown was very lack luster.

Sure, they would push AC/SM, we understand that, but I would have thought that they would have actually bothered about their gameplay. All that grenade spam... reminded me of Battlefield 3. Oh yay.

The rest of the night was a joke. "Oh hey, here is a shiny new ship that you should so totally buy now and not wait for it to have any sort of balance pass. Oh, you want to know about 3.0? Well, let us answer just a couple of the really easy questions that we can, you know, gabble on about to fill, you know, time. Actual questions that may be relevant? What are those?"

And not coming upfront to say "look, we can't do 2.6 tonight and it has been pushed back again" is just very weak and uncaring to the community. I found that out from Twitch chat. Did it even get a mention? I'm not sure 'cos the sound was awful most of the time. And the final sting was the, almost mandatory, "coming soon" advert at the end.

Well, the end of my subscription is coming sooner, and Alpha or no, when you are draining money from your community you owe them something more than what we recieved tonight, and getting in https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/7361456/#Comment_7361456

Getting a chuckle based on the patch notes. So they disabled a few things so people could focus on other areas. Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason.

I didn't read the thread today and just finished watching the livestream and I'm blown away. I'm sure everything I want to say has already been said but I've been following this poo poo-show since the Kickstarter and I sincerely think that today has been one of the worst things that has ever happened to CIG.

I am so happy you got to have this day Derek and I really hope you get to enjoy actually being right for everyone to see as I predict for the immediate future you are going to be one :smug:

I made a touch sensitive nightlight for my little daughter today with an arduino uno and some LEDs. As I typed out my sketch the whole VOID { some loving function } line dawned on me. I don't know how I was so dense before, but it just made sense all of a sudden that of course we use VOID, we don't need a return from this function....anyway, I'm applying at CIG.

The internal schedule is BS. Like its just made up on the spot. Its never right and I hope to god the devs actually have a professional schedule that at least mildly adheres to reality.
