One year ago, everybody knew Star Marine was weeks away. Six months ago, everybody knew cargo and trading were in the game. And fifteen hours ago, you knew that Gary Oldman was gonna be in Squadron 42. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

No because if he is Lethality then that goon that was obsessed with Lethality should be here reaping the whirlwind with the rest of us since he was absolutely adamant that Lethality was a younger him and wouldn't shut the gently caress up about bringing him to the thread/discord because he identified with him. Oh god Lazrin is adamant he paid 0$, so someone bought him an account. God dammit, where the hell are you wikkihowzer. Look at what you've done. Lethality was funny when he was on twitter and we could mock him but you just couldn't resist cutting the bars on his cage and letting him throw poo poo in everyone's faces because you too threw poo poo as a child.

Lazrin posted:interesting choice, with career suicide by joining and posting in this forum Serious post for a moment. I know it's all likely you're just a lovely troll, but the /r/dsmart and CiG peons can take this to their respective masters as well. gently caress you for trying on besmirching this bloke's career. He posted here to request we not translate his work without permission, and gave a professional line about protecting his sources. That's it. This looks to be the pill you seem to be unable to swallow; when it comes to verifiable information, industry professionals will be professional with handling it. That means protecting sources, making sure no insiders are being exposed, and running facts past a legal department before ejaculating them into a mock thread hosted within a joke subforum of an internet comedy forum. We joke about Derek take 'two weeks' to run things past 'legal', but in reality that is how the world works. This is why as much as reddit likes to bray about it, CiG isn't suing him, the Escapist, or Mr Ottsjo here. I am aware professionalism is a little bit of a foreign concept at CiG, but you're going to have to accept that if you're hoping for some sort of epic legal smackdown on Derek Smart or any publication with a Star Citizen story, you're going to be left with massive blue balls.

Fat Shat Sings posted:The difference between you and me is I make this look FIDELITOUS "May I ask why you felt little Sandi deserved to die?" "Well, first I was gonna pop this guy hanging from the street light, and I realized, y'know, he's just refactoring pipelines. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin' in the studio and bust me in my rear end while I'm on my $4000 chair? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a donut in his hand, and I'm realizing, y'know, he's not snarling, he's Ben. Y'know, ain't no real threat there. Then I saw little Sandi. I'm thinking, y'know, fifty-eight-year-old white girl, middle of the studio, bunch of developers, this time of night with sales and marketing books? She about to start some poo poo, Zed. She's about fifty-eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it."

I know this is going to come up sooner or later over on reddit and obviously you can't disclose your sources - but what did your vetting process look like for ex-employees? I am not interested in discussing the vetting process. There is no point as far as I am concerned. If our editor-in-chief feels the need to discuss that I am sure he will do so. Ultimately it's not my decision.

If Chris Roberts blows his head off on 10FTC, they would rejoice that he now has the ability to code without the limits of corporeality. Any bad news is automatically inaccurate if it cannot be spun as a beneficial trade-off. if you take an objective look at this thread, that's exactly what goons and your leader do. everything positive is dismissed out of hand with a pre-fab retort.

Hooper: You were at the Austin studio? Smart: What happened? Quint: UK studio slammed two late code changes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from a 24hr crunch session... just delivered 2.4. Persistent Shopping. One hundred men went back into the studio. Servers went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Sandi. Fifty-eighter. You know... you know that when you're in the studio, chief? You tell by lookin' for wrinkles from the head to the feet. Well, we didn't know... 'cause our patch mission had been so secret, no tweet had been sent, huh. They didn't even list the patch overdue for a month. Very first light, chief. The shark came cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like 'ol squares in battle like uh, you see on a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark goes to the nearest man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes she wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, she looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, she's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until she fires ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah... then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the air turns black with pubes and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' she'll come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost ten men! I don't know how many bugs there were... maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, she averaged two an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Ben Lesnick from Santa Monica. Developer, Director of Ships. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up and down on the couch, just like a kinda top. Up ended him into a scooter. Well... he'd just bitten a Twinkie in half. At noon on the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a lawyer saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He was a sleazy lawyer, a lot sleazier than Mr. Hooper... anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later severance offers comes down and they start to pack us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin' for my turn. I'll never sign another NDA again. So, one hundred men went in the studio, fifty men come out, the shark took the rest, May the 29th 2016. Anyway, we delivered the patch.

They've lost all benefit of the doubt for mucking up Star Marine and issuing no mea culpa on what happened. Let that not be forgotten. They teased gameplay that then disappeared and have given no explanation as to what happened. That's cowardly and dishonest. Of course, they can always still make a great game to prove us wrong and yet we wait.

Lazrin posted:if you take an objective look at this thread, that's exactly what goons and your leader do. We've called out a few positive moves from CIG during those excessively rare events. G0RF in particular is generous and takes pains to point out when CIG makes a good PR move with the videos they share. Usually it's related to the people they choose to broadcast, the material they choose to cover, etc. Not everything CIG does is wrong. Just the overwhelming majority of what they choose to show, which is nothing more than a side-effect of having your failed actress unqualified idiot wife as VP of marketing. If CIG wanted to shut down our source of amusement almost overnight, they could hire someone competent for that role. We'd suffer humor starvation pretty loving quickly (at least until the collapse). The fact that Chris Roberts can't or won't do that is central to the mishandling of the entire enterprise. Imagine what he could have accomplished. Dont' forget that many of us, myself included, backed. I'm not happy with what happened with CIG. But it is what it is.

There's no altruistic interest there whatsoever. Bingo. That's really all this is. Lazrin and others like him try to play the "anonymous sources are worthless" card but that's not what that means. As long as the publication knows who these people are, that covers it. The reader has no inherent right to know. If Lazrin knew who the anonymous sources were, he'd be raping them in alleys and gunning down their children in broad daylight, because that's what a cult does. He calls for "proof" in a bid to appear that he's open to reason, but what he really wants is a list of targets.
