I think people who tweet stuff like that still suffer from the "girls don't play video games" 'tude from the middle to late 90s

Derek is an okay guy, until you cross a line and then he will reveal himself for the churlish, self aggrandizing, self serving, self important and contrarian twat he is. Then people freak out a little bit, and then very quickly forget the weird behaviour and continue to pal around.

gently caress it, I’ll chime in since this has become kind of a real conversation. When I first started to frequent the thread, I saw Derek as an alright guy, but also the hot-tempered type that would sometimes spiral into cringey invective about SC, or occasionally someone that had bruised his ego. I especially enjoyed actual-serious-programmer Derek that would go deep on real software engineering challenges and how he addressed them. As a programmer, and one that actually worked on an MMO for a few years, that’s good poo poo. I miss that Derek.

But lately all I can see (and I fully acknowledge there’s a bias here) is smug self-congratulations when CIG makes yet another wholly predictable fuckup, and shrill denunciation of goons that have offended him in some way. It’s tedious, and the posts I’m reading now seem more fixated on taking credit for predicting (and archiving?) CIG’s transgressions than actually exposing them. There’s really not much beyond bile anymore. For me at least.

The funny thing is that he may very well be the sort that’s actually pretty cool to hang with in real life, but just turns into a raging asshat online. I’ve known the type personally, and I’d even bet it’s probably true. But the reality is that we’ll never meet in person- so it’s immaterial to me. All I have to judge by or really even care about is this experience on the forums. I’m exhausted by it. It’s obnoxious, it’s boring, and there’s so much more interesting stuff he could be saying.

Sorry for the :words:. That went on longer than anticipated.

CIG are to an extent making Derek's involvement and blogs about Star Citizen redundant, as they consistently continue to demonstrate ineptness, incompetence and greed all on their own.

It's just Derek's way when he has nothing to refute you with.
