The fact is, with a few exceptions you sucked any fun out of me posting here. I wasn't required to. I'm a goon that just happens to be contributing to a game that I enjoy working on. You can't really expect me to take this thread seriously when you guys are just showing utter contempt towards me, the game or any reasonable means towards a discussion. So I'm going to peace out and you guys can continue doing whatever it is you think this is. Merry Christmas!

I would love for the Starbound community to have a serious week of Something Awful zero-tolerance banhammer rules to weed out the toxic people that appear to poo poo up every single news thread.

I would venture that possibly, if you want to post in the thread anonymously, then assuming the role of chucklefish PR was perhaps not the best idea?

Further, seeing as you have assumed the role, responding with self-celebratory comments when the thread is happy, and trolling it when it isn't, is possibly not the ideal tone to take? You can't have it both ways, you can either get the praise and the backlash or neither.

It sort of makes it look like the only thing you see as a valid discussion is stuff that praises the game. If someone plays the new content, records it, and it looks like a pile of crap to play, what do you expect people to say about it?

I don't expect it's very fun for you, but that's the state the game is in. It was played, it didn't play very well. If you want that view to change, you're going to need to produce a better game. If you want people to just trust you're going to sort everything out, you are going to need to not try to deliberately make fun of people who do anything other than praise the game unconditionally.

You're not going to engender any sort of support the way you're acting now.

This is a good, reasonable post with well-thought-out points and a neutral tone, so you know when he inevitably returns in a day or so to crow about beachballs or something he'll just skip right over it in lieu of an easier target.
Also this is a shitpost-only zone, so I'm gonna have to ask you to turn in your card :colbert:

Give me a loving break, you act like this thread is anything other than 90% shitposting. Those are the people Supernorn was mocking, not the 1 or 2 people who made serious, well reasoned posts. You can tell this because he directly stated it. ("You can't really expect me to take this thread seriously when you guys are just showing utter contempt towards any reasonable discussion.")

And yet, he is taking the thread seriously by getting upset and quitting for the week or so it takes most of us to forget.

So, realistically, we can expect him to take the thread seriously, because he obviously is. Which just leaves the people hurling poo poo at him because it's funny even more reason to do so, because it literally making his life just a little bit worse when they do so.

You are right, rationally, but it can be hard to remind yourself that it's all a joke and keep shrugging it off when the shitposting turns towards every post calling you specifically "human being retard" or whatever. It's one thing when everyone is joined together making fun of some dumb game, and very different when it's a group attacking a person. He's just a flawed human like the rest of us, eventually it's gonna bother him.

Then not engaging would be an optimal solution, one would think.

Or, alternatively, not making a big deal about being part of the team when the praise is being heaped on, and reverting to 'just some goon making a game' when people fling poo poo.

Also not trolling the thread would be a good idea in either case.

Essentially, I wouldn't recommend the game of any of the shitposters in the thread, it's difficult to recommend the game whose own developers are shitposting in their own game thread.

He mentioned it in his first post but he should have brought it up a few more times, he's just an artist. So in other words, he doesn't know poo poo about any of the design or any of the problems and can't really comment about any of it. If he did it'd likely confuse the discussion even more because he wouldn't know what he was talking about. Which I guess, you're right it would make him look better, but I'm glad he didn't make poo poo up just to make himself look better?

So he talked about the few softball, simple things he could talk about, instead, but he should have reminded us why he wasn't going into detail about the new lua <-> c++ API being completely rebuilt the other day or whatever.
