So our new contender for my WIP blog (latest PDF export) on the abusive White Knights in the Star Citizen community, is Nick Butler (that's him in the wheelchair) aka /user/NitroTypat/ aka @Bipii_4084.

If you look at his Reddit and Twitter feeds (1, 2, 3, 4), he is one of my top harassers (I'm rounding them all up like cattle, for the blog, then I'm going to link to all their social media feeds).

Hey Nick, if you don't knock it off, I'm going to have my people get in touch with your Dad in Virginia and let him know you're harassing people online. No further warnings. Go play a game or something.

Titanfall 2 is my favorite game of the year, I think. I'm biased though because I was one of the handful of dudes super disappointed when Titanfall 1 died.

I need to go play through the campaign again, tbh. BT is a rad dude.

I honestly can't imagine playing Alien: Isolation in VR. Just playing with a regular monitor (and surround sound) is still extremely immersive and the game stressed me out so much I literally had to take breaks from playing often to recompose myself.

What I mean to say is that it's an actual playable game from an actual competent developer and in no way resembles Star Citizen.

All the background animations look like poo poo. (The front one does as well)
People doing random emotes that they managed to mo cap.
It's stupid.

Between the bikini Drake girls and the zoom in on the WW2 bikini poster of the first video, I really have to question what sort of mind set the director AKA Crobberts has.

Their paid marketing firm was making ingress to appeal the IP to a broader base with it's show re formats. But yet again, like a broken record, the Wunder Twins manage to find a way to sabotage any progress.

Derek's ironclad defense:

D_Smart posted:

No, that's not why. I don't give a poo poo about that. People call me names all the time; it doesn't faze me. If you took the time to use Topsy and search his Twitter feed for mentions of me, along with his posts on Reddit, you'll see why.

And I don't care if he's in a wheelchair or not as that has no bearing on anything. He's perfectly OK doing poo poo online from that chair (if that's him) and so he should know that online anti-social behavior does have consequences and they can be held accountable.

This sort of nonsense is precisely why online abuse is so rampant because people - hiding behind the confines of anonymity - are so quick vilify others like me who do not have the benefit of anonymity. Just today, alone, this happened whereby abusers threatening violence, caused a major event to cancel panels.

And while I was at the SPJ Airplay panel discussion back in August, some rear end-clown called in a bomb threat and had us out in the sweltering heat for over six hours.

Tell you what. New deal. I'll just continue sticking them in my blog as I write it, and not post it here.
Too bad he didn't take his own advice and in the end got banned for it. :rip:

I had to do the same thing, and jack the difficulty WAY down. And it still scared the poo poo out of me at every turn. Good game. Can't wait to see how Crobbers apes it when it comes to those spooky abandoned ships with monsters in them he was talking about like two years ago.

They had video of Ben, and his wife, at disneyland.

It is remarkably similar, especially the Illfonic stuff with all the graffiti and abandoned areas. Chris Roberts is a hack, it is shocking but true.

I'm almost positive this isn't a real deal. Someone just said it (likely as an exaggeration) and people have just been quoting it over and over.

I just bought Titanfall 2 recently on PC. Origin has it on sale for $40, but (at least when I bought it) you could also use a discount code TITAN20 to bring it down to like $32 or $33.

Aight, thanks. Thought it was a little too good, but the poster in here was specific so I figure they had a lead.

So apparently CIG has been doing updates every day with new ships, and they've actually been releasing videos to go with them. For reasons that escape anyone they only post the videos on their site, but they're all basically Space Jeremy Clarkson talking about the various manufacturers.

Some previously unseen ships are seen in the background, like the Starfarer Gemini (a tanker with a giant fuckoff missile launcher) and the Drake Caterpillar (the one that apparently turns into a portable strip club).

You would think CIG would put all of these assets into a level players could walk around or something.

It kind of looks like they have a level for it.

A great big space-car dealership level.

I feel like someone told us something about that, at one point.

Has Lowtax blocked Derek on Twitter yet? Any funny interactions between them, or is it all hush-hush due to the pending lawsuit against SA?

So how much has the current sale netted so far? Enough to buy CIG another 2-3 months to poo poo something out?
