I'm glad reddit is willing to foot the bill to keep this dumb forum alive and relevant.

This thread's the best.

So I'm guessing r/starcitizen took friendly fire from that random redditor's imgur autoreporting bot then?

Pretty much someone used it on all the images in this thread not realising most of it was their own images. We know it was them who did it because they took down cooking images in this thread that had nothing to do with star citizen as well.

This is like some bugs bunny bullfight nonsense.

It looks like they stopped when they realized what was going on, though.

I do feel kinda bad that a bunch of r/starcitizen redditors got hit by the guy mass-reporting all of the pics in this thread.

Still funny though.

Let's see if that one gets taken down, a couple of gifs from a few pages back disappeared.

What bot is this now?

Some redditor wrote a bot that reported pics in the SC threads to get them autoremoved from imgur.

Some of the pics that were taken were actually reposted from r/starcitizen's top pages of all time. You can imagine the reaction.

The RPS article was the most even-handed and neutral you could possibly be about Star Citizen.

They'll just crowdfund Dsmart's avatar changes. If just one random person on the internet chips in :10bux: to change his avatar but a different person foots the bill when he changes it back, we can keep the forums online Derek might get bored eventually and let an av stick we can keep the forums online

I'm one of the people who's not cool with this cripple hunt, but even I could see that more people were actually making fun of dsmart over it rather than egging him on.

Up until everyone decided to team up and make fun of Amethyst instead. So, grand job.

Their style of posting is amazingly similar to Matilda2013's.

I have no idea if they're the same person or not, I just thought it was hilarious that Karl_Ramsmeier or whoever they are in the SC community thinks it's a good idea to proudly and publicly threaten dsmart's kids by threatening to release info about them from dsmart's parental petition.

This right after the thread got done saying shame on you Derek for name-and-shaming some dumb rear end in a top hat with muscular dystrophy.

If Derek Smart is Don Quixote and CIG is a windmill, then Karl Rumsemer is an proportionately smaller Don Quixote tilting at a Dsmart-sized windmill. Maybe at a miniature golf course.

A lot of people have posted on reddit and twitter that they've been doubling down on their pledges since dsmart threw his hat into the ring. He's galvanized a lot of people to sink their sunk costs even further.

It definitely couldn't be because he might be a hack fraud that is sending up all of his dickriders in this thread.

I believe he does this because his crusade is just and pure to bring down Croberts and his ilk.

It's not that it's cool to hate on Fallout 4 it's just that everyone kind of already knows Bethesda's style of game, and since Witcher 3 just sort of strolled in and dunked on every other open world WRPG out there some people have higher standards now.

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

I'm not going to say I'm a fan of Derek Smart but, like a lot of people posting in the thread, I honestly just consider him to be just another guy poking fun at the shitshow.

That and he adds to the entertainment sometimes.

Jegan Ace posted:

I liked the Witcher 3 (except the clunky, awful combat controls), but since nobody has played Fallout 4 yet, I believe Bethesda deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I mean I'll probably give it a shot myself, but the recent gameplay video leak showed that I probably shouldn't expect much besides a slightly streamlined Fallout 3 plus a town editor. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's more than that, but Bethesda has a handful of mile-wide-inch-deep games under their belt so any bar they're trying to clear was one they set themselves.

That town editor stuff might be fun if it's sufficiently crunchy and with a nontrivial interaction with the rest of the game world. If it's just a tacked on mini-system like, say, every non-core gameplay element in any Assassin's Creed game then that'll be disappointing.

Unfunny Poster posted:

The irony of Karl saying that Bootcha is an idiot for helping out with random poo poo after investing money into CIG while Karl paid $10 to defend said project on an irrelevant comedy forum.

Like it's pretty fuckin clear that Bootcha, at one point, really believed in Chris Roberts and the Star Citizen project. The fact that he's been burned so thoroughly, and backstabbed by backers, not investors like him, but backers is honestly pretty sad and indicative of the quality of the community they've built up around SC.

Besides, what are the odds that Karl and Raess are two completely different German auditors who behave like assholes in the same way with the same opinions on everything? Because I want to believe that this is in fact two identical crazy assholes and not one delusional one. Or that this is a long con and someone just wants to take that extra step to make Raess2014/2015 look like a complete imbecile on the internet.

Runa

You crazy diamond you.

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

But seriously it's pretty obvious that Karl's trying to get Bootcha to break NDA and is angling for any way to do get him to do that.

This is a person that literally wants to see someone else lose thousands of dollars out of sheer malice. Not like a bunch of chucklefucks watching CR scam people and laughing at them while warning people not to trust him, he's in this to actively and maliciously harm someone financially because they criticized a theoretical videogame he preordered.

Just like Raess2014, come to think of it.

He's proven himself to be a morally worse person than he even considers Derek Smart to be so gently caress'im.

Like, everyone knows Derek Smart is a blowhard who lives up to his reputation, but when you set that aside he's still a better person than this Karl_Ramsmeier guy. And Raess2014/2015. And whoever matilda2013 is, whose name clearly predates Raess2014 by a year but oh no though they're also on a crusade against all of CIG's critics they're certainly not the same guy as those other two identical German assholes trying to "destroy" Bootcha, heavens that would be absurd.
