Why the gently caress are they spending so much time making planets pretty when they can't even get 24 people to inhabit one server and there are ships that people have been waiting years for.

To sell JPEGs to idiots. If they had to make something substantial, CIG would be hosed.

Well you see they hit the stretch goal for investing in procedural generation to make the game better after launch, but for CIG time is a sweet mobius strip, so the future is right now and right now is DREAMS or something I don't know.

Meh, nothing.

I just think he's a vainglorious boastful douche who creates shittastic video games, desperately craves attention, and demands credit for anything negative associated with Star Citizen. He has taken content from this thread since its inception to post uncredited on his blogs.

It takes a pretty pathetic Internet Warlord to say "I'll show those uppity goons! I'll start my own forums and they'll be THE BEST!" and then just lurk and copy/paste from this thread into new posts on his own website.

Like him or not, these are all obvious facts.

I would respect him more as a man if he owned up to having hosed up and just moved on. But that's one of his character flaws: Derek Smart is always right.

It's also hilarious.

Derek is one step above a sub-reddit, basically.

I'm guessing you don't need credentials to get the doctor tag on reddit.

"Careful with asking people to actually solve science and especially medicine related problems. We invented nerve gas by working on a simple pesticide. If you can improve a patient's condition, you can make it worse. If you can make it worse, you can do so deliberately.

Some of our best experiments that have opened a world of knowledge to us are ones like the Stanford Prison tests. Significant progress can come with having to look inward at the darkest reflections of the most private, villainous thoughts you hide from the rest of the world and pretend arn't there.

If you want to cure cancer, someone's going to get a variant to mutate it out of control to rapidly kill the patient instead of save them.

But if you're at peace with the devil within.. maybe that's worthwhile. Exitus Acta Probat, after all = )"

Really weird how everyone critical of this thread or the people who post in it are terrible posters. I mean if it were me, I'd take stock of the fact that there was enthusiastic and prolonged mock-outrage conversations about not liking pizza and the pronunciation of the dotgif file extension for computers. If I was some sort of authority on humour I'd place that somewhere between the proverbial 'lowest form of humour' - puns (which this thread, and reddit, enjoys), and the *holds up spork* thing. If you don't consider that terrible, you're probably not in a position to judge the value of written entertainment, or basically anything.
