Quoting several hundred posts late because what the actual gently caress :psyduck:

see this is the correct response. i don't care how mean he was / is to spaceship people. the number 1 thing that jumps out at me is that he is one of the fattest people i've ever seen not on some sort of disability pension. not mentioning that he is severely fat and instead talking about how enables the mentally unwell... what price life? it's like seeing a guy with a knife buried to the hilt in his organs and discussing the weather. 'oh what? your knife? never noticed it. it goes great with plaid.' ben is so fat it's the single most remarkable feature about him until he starts killing the mentally unwell backers.

can somebody post the thing where totalbiscuit shits on star citizen? i can only find the thing where he talks to croberts and i don't want to listen to that guy

also re vegas, go to absinthe. also do you have a foreign accent? if so, gently caress everything breathing. abuse the video poker bars at every casino - do occasional dollar hits and drink as much as you want. take the time to actually eat. i ate one burger in 3 days and woke up the forth morning shaking uncontrollably. steak, asparagus and broccoli fixed that. cocaine from a 60 year old limo driver. i wish i saw more shows. see a show every night you're there, but definitely see absinthe.

throwing my support behind the redux guy. he writes stuff that gets citizens in a tizzy and awesome criticism like 'hire an editor' when it's two guys and a blog can gently caress off. who gives a single solitary gently caress about how well it's written when it's a site not called somethingawful calling star citizen a broken piece of poo poo?

question for Derek Smart. derek, i now that you really wanted to create the most epic game to ever see the light of day, but as you edge closer to your twilight years do you ever consider that you were put on this earth not as a creator, but a destroyer? the way your name is uttered with a mixture of fear and spite reminds me only of beasts and demons of legend, and that is pretty loving awesome.

It does kind of show that backer relations were at in a far more fragile state than suspected. CIG has mistreated backers a lot and generally backers have looked over it in the past but not this time. I wouldn't have thought that this particular event would set them off but here we are.

B4TBG email exchange is still causing fallout ... and all the wrong people are getting blamed

- All the hilarity and fallout from 10ftc, Starmarine being cancelled and the reddits etc have caused absolutely no concern whatsoever. Literally no one gives a gently caress. The attitude is , ' Its just noise let them have their fun we know better'. Chris in particular is totally detached from it all


this is extremely telling.

so why the gently caress hasnt anybody seen any of it?

this reminds me of the time i went to a music / arts festival over new years. the music finished up at about half past midnight new years day. luckily, there was an 'arts' display set up to gently caress with people on drugs - this included schizophrenic clowns, a dwarf in a run-down caravan 'doing science', house of mirrors, old black and white movies and this really loving fun party in a shipping container. you heard music coming from the container, you could see the shadows of people dancing behind the curtain in the container, and it was operating on a one-in one-out policy. after about an hour in line i realised no-one had gone in or come out. well played, line ride.

If you happen to do a thesis, you're going to remember the topic because you're basically making that thesis your life for a very long period of time. You don't have a vague topic like "Oh it's international marketing"; a thesis is usually pretty targeted and specific.

there are way too many stories of people in lab coats being taken for doctors and sandi gardner being entrusted with 100million dollars for me not to believe that 'fake it till you make it' is pretty much a magic spell

i guess if through repeated experience you leaned that you can say literally anything to anyone ever and any person that tries to gainsay you would have their lives instantly ruined i guess it might become a bit more clear how a right-thinking person could write such adolescent lies and expect to be taken very seriously. or maybe not i don't know i'm not the best marketing person of all time and have been since i was a small child.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:

So, you're demanding this level of proof for CIG's misconduct. On the other hand, you're perfectly okay with accepting absence of evidence as proof of the game's being further in development than they've proved.

What would the point be in trying to convince you? How would you react to the Sandi/Beer email chain proven legitimate?

Reading your posts you really come across a bit like Dolvak saying "eh well those aren't proven to be legit," using the argument to cast suspicion while never having any intent on letting them influence your opinion if proven real.

State which evidence you'd accept as "proof" the emails were real, and how your opinion of Sandi would be influenced by such proof.

I know exactly how much the game is progressing. I have a Shotgun account. I suppose if I didn't, I might be more skeptical, but then again I'd still be playing the SC alpha more than I play any other game. It's already the best space combat sim I've ever played. I don't really understand why people still lack optimism.

And yes, Sandi is my friend, and I don't like to hear people talk poo poo about my friends, even my friends who are less than perfect people, which is... let's see... yeah, all of them.
