@katerussell It's about ethics in journalism. Right? #GamerGate

quote:

Ten days ago, Kate Russell crashed my feed asking who I was.
..
Anyway, last night it came to my attention that she may have been motivated to make this video (which most people think casts her in a poor light btw, and is conduct unbecoming) as an "attack" piece due to her trying to get or working on a Star Citizen book deal.
...
So while Kate is well within her rights to do and say as she pleases, as a BBC-UK tech reporter, it appears to me that, regardless of what she does in her own time, there has to be a line between morality and personal gain. And when it comes to ethics in journalism, that line doesn't get blurred when you're no longer on the clock. Other journos have got into trouble for less; even when they weren't on the clock.

He's getting distracted again, focus Derek.

Just got off the phone, my bank is so small they don't even know what their charge back policy is. So the teller is calling to find out deets. Nice to have the bank president in my hometown where I can just walk into his office and lay this all down. So once I get a yay/nay on the CB, I'll move forward accordingly. I also held no punches and the reason for the chargeback going to Visa is "Likely a Ponzi scheme, failure to deliver product."

Yeah, you really shouldn't. I am sure banks and credit card companies will have more sympathy if you explain it to them this way, that you were promised a product by now that has consistently missed every deadline and looks nowhere near completed.

This is the likeliest outcome. CIG will draw a line in the sand sometime late next summer with whatever they have ready as Episode One, fix bugs that aren't due to poor architecture choices into the fall, and release it before the holidays. The experience will be poor in comparison to what people wanted, but better than Steam Greenlight games that people will find to compare it to to justify it being "a good game!" Somehow, feature incompleteness and poor performance will be waved off as the SQ42 campaign being complete, but hey the engine is in beta, give them a break they're still working on the PU.

Lots of the demos show people finding ships and salvaging them, and boarding is supposed to be a thing.

So wait, if I have ship insurance and my ship gets boarded and taken from me, do I get a new one? Does the person who ganked it off me get to keep it? Could I not then get a single top-tier capital ship with insurance, allow someone to take it off me, get my replacement, lather, rinse, repeat, and then team up with the people I've colluded with to steal my ship over and over again in a giant armada of hundreds of the biggest ship in the game?

Oh. That's right, it doesn't matter because it's never loving coming out.

At least on PC because Konami will never do anything about the cheaters there. I had to lol at people who thought they would actually do anything to MGS cheaters. This is a company that scrapped a PC port of all the MGS games when they could have made an asston of money. They don't give a gently caress about gaming and they doubly don't give a gently caress about PC users.

I can see that high school education really does need some work. You're probably one of those edgy zeitgeist teenagers angry at working at Arby's and no secondary education, pissed off at the world because surely it's the system that is flawed, and has nothing to do with you being unable to control the urge to walk by a window and not run your tongue across it.

You can tell this is true because you are retarded enough to try and shill a cryptocurrency with absolutely no regulation which we've already seen peak and now fall through the floor, that no serious institution will use in any meaningful way. You fool yourself into thinking it's viable because some websites allow you to buy a coffee maker with bitcoins so surely the future is being embraced, except no one, literally no one in the real world takes you seriously because everyone with an actual education or a job that pays 5 figures or higher realizes how loving terrible a notion bitcoin is.

I doubt Seraph's mental illness can be attributed to high school education. Although I do admit, from what I hear of US schools and the state they're in nowadays that may very well be the case.
