I can't imagine the kind of mindset required to every day voluntarily seek out dsmart posts to read and obsess over, let alone posts where he's repeatedly owning and hating on the thing they're in love with.

Even Dr. Smart doesn't read what he writes. You have to be a trully dedicated fan to go through it.

Yeah I agree with this, if the tracker is rubbish, which it certainly appears to be, then why would they show a decline? There's no reason to. You could say, well they won't fake it anymore because of Crytek, but if it's been fake for a year+ already, another couple of months won't really make a difference.

IMO, this is either a) insanity, b) a crappy fake tracker, c) money laundering. I have always been a bit skeptical of the occasional claims of money laundering, but that tracker is super weird, and something is not right. It could just be insanity or poorly executed tracker manipulation, but those recurring completionist package sales? There's a smell of something...

This encapsulates Star Citizen for me in a way I doubt the OP could ever understand or recognize. It's got everything:

  • The pointless joke run into the ground as the only bit of content
  • The huge, empty, ill-advised planet
  • The wonky physics, with the Big Benny's machine jittering all over the place
  • The hilariously overwrought mocap of the guy doing his dumb victory dance
  • The inability of commandos to affect change on anything (look at his feet in relation to the vending machine)

It's all just so perfect.

Also, FailureToReport who I also recommended, since he was a backer and has a unique insight, was confirmed. And minutes before we were to go live, he loving bailed. He had an "emergency". Leaving the hosts scrambling to find a replacement (which was Kevin) in less than 15 mins! Which is why we started late.

https://twitter.com/dsmart/status/942901625227829248

Yeah....my bad, I let Colleen know the day before that I was late getting back to her about doing it because I was at the Vet ER all night because my cat has a broken leg, and then my scheduled appointment yesterday to get it's leg set and decide if they were going to have to do surgery on it ran over two hours...

I guess I should have told the Vet I needed to bail because I had to go talk about a spaceship game.

I tried to give Colleen as much heads up as I could once I realized they were going to have me sitting there even longer.

We would be able to bring you in as late as 1:55 or so (pacific time, about a half hour from now) but if that doesn't seem realistic I can call in a sub instead. Let me know your thoughts! (Also note you'd have to have your audio and video all set by the time we get you on the call)

I mean, I could have rolled the dice and said "Yeah I'll try to be back by then" and then they would have been sitting there waiting around or actually scrambling.

Yeah, I think the nag page has a "Not Now" on the login part. Then it should get you back to the video page. I was able to watch the video without logging in that way.

EDIT: Are you talking about this recent stream with Dr. Smart?

When the nag pop-up appears asking to login, there should be a "Not Now" text at the bottom. If you click on that the login-request goes away.

I think a thread title just seems a little ghoulish. He seemed like a nice guy and cancer sucks (lost my dad) but the thread title is usually a joke, and it's not like he was part of the goon community, and it might attract unwanted attention for his real family, who can memorialize him the way he wanted.

Well considering you are the resident Streamer. Perhaps do something cool there to remember the old boy and the things that he loved to do. Your livestream is completely detached from SA and Goons so you would have some room there without the spergs making GBS threads all over it because we did something here. Just an idea.
