Upshot is that eventually it'll probably end up in front of a jury explaining why they have copyright on a particular geometry of robot arm; it's a normal shakedown over what *was* considered 'iconic' styles.

To be fair, FASA ripped off Harmony Gold when they published 'Battledroids' because they actually printed their pictures and assumed that Japan wouldn't come a'knocking.


Yeah I mean it's a total shitshow. The history is long and complicated as hell, but the good news is I get to imagine a lawyer standing up in front of a jury and explaining the differences between a Warhammer's SRM6 pack and a Tomahawk's shoulder mounted rocket launcher lol.

He took the job so there is an ecosystem that lols at CIG in the first place, which he can call himself leader of, and of which he can actually be a signal booster for some funny poo poo that normally would never leave the paywall. It's Derek way of dealing with stuff, and the last thing he can stand is people who are of different opinion to him or do not agree with his way of dealing with things. His typical reaction to these people is to supress them with whatever means he has available. Banning them, badmouthing them etc. That's why he is "the warlord", whatever that means, and that's why I think it's funny, because it's so one-dimensional and like a comic book bad guy.

He feels offendes by CIG because they threw him out as a backer, and his way of badmouthing them is via twitter, helping people to get refunds, and helping media to easily find content for critical articles, while also doing his best to uphold tension in this subject...by all means possible, even by making up poo poo like the constant ELE posts.

As I said, I think it's the icing on the cake. You have CIG on one side, failing to produce a game while pretending they are creating something that will revolutionize everything, while playing every dirty trick in the book to make money off of it. On the other side, you have the outcast critic Derek Smart, flinging poo poo at them. And in between, this endless stream of lols when shitizens and goons interact in one way or another.

It would be boring without Derek, and I agree with him beeing the signal booster for the shitposts in here. Without him, the shitshow would be half as much fun as it is.

If you know anything about me, then you would know that to be patently false. I just don't deal with bullshit, and have a ZERO tolerance threshold for it. Always have. That's where my rep comes from.

We ended in this discussion because, though the clowns below are ALL on ignore, you guys quoting them, makes me see them when I scroll. Which is precisely why I haven't posted (and someone even mentioned it) much these past days, as I've been mostly just scrolling past the worthless drivel.

When YOU (not blocked until now) posted your latest infantile bullshit, I was left with no choice but to respond as I did.

tuo posted:

imo, Derek is the icing on the cake of this whole CIG shitshow. I don't think it would be as funny as it is without him constantly loving up while stealing goon valor and following it up with a puppetmaster-tweet.

So of course you repost the messed-up one instead of the corrected one Gorf put up after our nitpicking :cripes:

How come Derek never credits the people who create all his content? It's a pretty lovely thing to do tbqh

The notion that I should somehow nitpick a meme because Gorf messed up HIS meme, while I get admonished for posting said hosed up meme, is the sort of thing that grates my craw. That's like deleting a Tweet or post because you happened to misspell a word, and you're concerned that people (who are mostly idiots anyway) will somehow judge you for it. Me? IDGAF, and that's just the gist of it. And it wasn't even three weeks ago that Gorf also had to update his Citizen personality chart - three times. And he still got grief for it.

Most of you rear end-clowns don't contribute anything BUT poo poo to this thread, other than incessant poo poo-posting drivel. But this is SA, so there's that. However, most of us content creators who tend to engage in meaningful rhetoric, get to deal with your infantile self-serving inconsequential bullshit routinely because you have nothing worthy of note to contribute, other than usual criticism-laden ejaculatory drivel.

At this point honestly Star Citizen would be way more fun to play if they just decided to have a sense of humor about the whole thing and make it satirically stupid and bland instead of just regularly stupid and bland.

Star Citizen as it stands is going to be a horrible dumb bland grey mess filled with "gritty space cowboys" if they ever finish it. It's boring and almost painful to play. It would be way more fun if they just started making fun of themselves and literally had you running around collecting bear asses and poo poo.

Agree with you on this. I'm not looking to topple anyone here. Derek serves a purpose. I'm invested into the comedy of this shitshow, and trying to demean the value of goons isn't really funny, it's just kinda sad. Especially because Derek is a goon now, and a pretty loving goony one at that. And especially when we have quality posters who also have an affect on the star citizen community. Infographics from gorf for example.

Go gently caress yourself. I built this place. You and your 2007 reg date. I was around when this place first showed up, go ask Lowtax or any of the guys who were here since the beginning. I just had to rereg because I lost my original @ix.netcom.com email address access.

nope, I just spent 30 seconds thinking of the worst things I've seen over the years (mainly java and python ERP applications) and then mangled them into different naming conventions...but somehow my heart tells me the truth is much, much worse (especially after seeing the snippets from bugsmashers)

Well it's loving hilarious. This is my personal fav:
code:
uglySuperGlobalFixer.Instance.getInstanceForCurrentVersion(version_3.0.get_real_version_fix()))
lol getInstanceForCurrentVersion kills me.

I totally agree about Bugsmashers. The best part is their programmers don't seem to know enough about programming to realize the horrific insights they're providing into their clear lack of developer talent. The bugsmashers clown is just so proud that he writes computer code for computer games. They're too junior to realize they're writing code that is neither extensible nor maintainable.

I have always commend CIG for their talented artists. Clearly they have some good UI programmers. But holy gently caress, one glance at a single method of their engine code is like a mic-dropping explanation of SC's horrendous networking, performance, and general lack of any material gameplay progress.

There's no 'mantra of the thread' and there's no wider movement. We're all a bunch of idiots laughing at other idiots; The internet makes you stupid. To underline it even further, we don't worry about internet credibility too much. it's one of the reasons why we're feared in games, because taking the piss is far more fun than taking poo poo too seriously.

I ain't poo poo, and I try to keep it that way.
