Jared, make a note of the word 'gobbledegook'! I want to use it in our press releases more often.

![]() OhDearGodNo posted:Now, this is where it gets funny: It's a helpful reminder that, while CIG finds it nearly impossible to do even mundane stuff (fixing crosshairs in an FPS shooter engine, printing and shipping a decent travel mug, issuing a timely refund, letting a PR rep handle a crisis, hosting a cosplay competition, treating people decently), they have also promised to achieve the impossible. I only hope Beer can finish brewing "Bitter Tears" before this whole thing ceremoniously implodes.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:This sounds hilarious. What kind of beer would it be? The obvious choice would be a bitter ale... maybe call it riggwelter which is yorkshire for a "sheep stuck on it's back". A pretty apt description of the Shitizens.

![]() A quick dummy mockup of a label for "Bitter Tears" - though it doesn't have typographical elements or anything yet. It would be really funny to go to the effort of having him be on the label of the beer he is bitterly drinking. (Just one opinion-- it could be anything and still be funny.)

Croberts could ask for the first born sons of every backer with the express purpose of cutting out and selling their organs on the black market to fund development and some idiot would post on reddit about how wow look at CIG THREATENING THE BIG GUYS and everyone would lap it up and oh my god they're all so stupid.

It really does make so much sense that Croberts is Black Adder, Lesnick is Baldrick and Sandi is Queen Elizabeth. But who is Derek then?

Derek is Prince Ludwig the Indestructible. Constantly mocked and derided but ultimately successful.

Berious posted:It's going to be some prime gloating when this shitshow comes crashing down. Yea, but it will still be our "fault." CIG mishandling money, terrible hardware decisions, backwards progress, micro-management may all come to light but it will still be Derek Smart and his goon lackeys that are responsible for ruining the dream. "CR just needed some more money and time! I know they were 3 years behind on development but you can't rush perfection! YOU ALL DID THIS!"

xanif posted:"CR just needed some more money and time! I know they were 3 years behind on development but you can't rush perfection! YOU ALL DID THIS!" I certainly will wear that as a badge of pride. Took down the savior of PC gaming by shitposting. Hell, no offense intended to him, but this is the most relevant Dsmarts been in years.

Wait...the Battlecruiser guy who spent years arguing with people on Usenet about his garbage vaporware space combat game...that Derek Smart?! I am so glad I found this thread.

Went to the CIG homepage. Noticed they haven't posted an update since August after previously always posting an update at least once a month for almost 2 1/2 years and never missing two months in a row. I laughed.

I've been keeping a spreadsheet of goons who have reported refunds and where they came from. At least 5 remorseful idiots have gotten refunds from Twin Bros
