If you want to believe his hype about how he is Star Citizen that's fine but it's demonstrably not true. Dudes a funny chapter midway through the book, not the author or the subject.

If it wasn't for Dr. Smart, SC wouldn't have met its funding goal in the kickstarter era ; and if it wasn't for spite pledging against him, CIG/RSI/15others would already have released their mvp and closed doors.

My favorite Derek Smart Internet Warlord moment was after he started posting and people made fun of him and he left upset, an admin got him to come back on the promise that Derek would be able to mod the forum and Derek's first moderator action was to (try to) give someone a 30 day probation for disagreeing with him.

No, wait, it's when people were discussing Ryan Archer's "art" too much so he threatened to not post.

No, wait, it's when he told Moma to doxx himself and gave him a deadline and also threatened other people in the thread that had made fun of him, because the only reason anyone would ever make fun of Derek Smart, PhD is because they're shills for Star Citizen and must be outed and shamed publicly.

No, wait, it's when he called a friend of his in the Defense Department to investigate a fake Vietnam War Veteran on twitter.

No, wait, it's when he got called out for not attributing goons for making images he used on his blog posts, and one of the goons he stole from said he didn't mind, so Derek twisted it to say that goons demanded they not be attributed.

No, wait, it's when he kept telling TheAgent that TheAgent was wrong about real-life conversations Derek was nowhere around for.

No, wait, it's when goons were literally saying they didn't feel comfortable posting in the thread because Derek was batshit crazy and was investigating everyone that disagreed with him.

No, wait, it's when he called goons "nazis" for suggesting that the Escape key open a menu in his games.

These are cool. I especially like the way the rigging allows arms but not shoulders to move in on collision detection and the way it doesn't clip through anything.

THE BUTT WAS NOT A JOKE

It's almost as though they were doing foundational work, then adding fidelity on top, rather than starting at the top and struggling to backfill the foundation. Nobody could have predicted that.

Sandi’s Top Gun tweet that started the Leonard Skinly Incident and the corresponding chaos that unfolded in Big MoMA’s House was an especially glorious affair that even Derek came to find amusing in time.

And in a way, Bootcha called it ahead of time.

I think my favorite thing was when I said something about Derek and I 15+ years ago getting into an internet slapfight over control and UI design and he was like "no that never happened, you are crazy" as he continued to melt down over a really spot on and even-handed critique of his difficult ui/control scheme from the titanic

This is sarcastic right?

Nobody even knew who he was until 2+ years after the kickstarter and spite pledging against him has probably accounted for 0.0001% of sales. It just might seem like more because the crazy people obsessed with him have every post they've ever made get cataloged in this thread. You are talking about like 30-40 backers out of hundreds of thousands.

I can see this one. When his discord first started doing the super secret club that gets access to the super secret information he was publicly talking about how he had been looking up whatever he could on people because he needed to "Verify their identities" and I was denied access because my names weren't connected to anything and he couldn't "prove who I was."

Figuring out people's identities and using them against them is like Derek Smart 101(That's him in the wheelchair!) so you better believe that anyone critical of him has had some kind of investigation done on them.

To be fair I'd probably be reticent to allow someone with such a hot and heavy hardon for me into my tree house.

Nah, I guess you guys were on it from the start and everything but when I was first looking into SC and I typed "Star Citizen" and "scam" into Google the first thing I came across was Dr Smart's blogs.That was well past the kickstarter. Be honest, he's done more to raise awareness of the SC joke than anyone, even if he wasn't the first.

Now I've ended up here and read him doing his day-to-day stuff I still feel he's been slightly hard done by. He's bang to rights with the rules and all but I never got searing contempt and dislike for him others here have. He's eccentric AF but also clever and, in my limited experience, not a bad guy.

What new nightmare do we face? Oh yeah, I could just read his twitter instead of reading him post it here.

There will always be his blogs.
