Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

The reason you hate Chris so much is because he is exactly like you. You are both egotistical without merit, confident without backing, and too happy to believe in the bullshit you spew. You are both two of the biggest man babies the world has ever known.

After some of the rants he has gone on, do you really believe that he is pleasant to work for? At this point the only thing he has on Chris is that his game was actually finished.

Chris blew more than $110 million consumers gave him in good faith. Derek funds his own projects. These are not commensurable things.

I do not think he's pleasant to work for, but if you read that old article that included and interview with his employee, he's fair. Chris Roberts has no technical knowledge and inserts himself into the most technical of decisions, so that's probably worse.

edit : What I mean is, the CIG forum is a bunch of words and stuff, but none of it makes sense anymore. It is like that twilight zone episode where the dude knows the language but the words are all switched up. Sunk Cost in CIG forums means buy more ships. It is really weird.

Like, poo poo, we all know Derek's a vain egomaniac, but in regards to SC/CIG he's actually been right. Consider that both an ex-CIG and a current CIG employee have said he's been accurate about his predictions, to their knowledge.

Well he has said poo poo was supposed to come crashing down several times over by now. Not saying history won't prove him right eventually but so far his predictions of catastrophe haven't materialised.

Speaking of which wasn't something supposed to happen today? Or is that ELEphant still moseying around the room?

So? Enjoy the loving free ride you're getting. It's still hilarious either way.

I'm not sure if Derek ever said something would happen on the Wednesday of this week, just that poo poo's been going on behind the scenes at CIG, which yeah if that's going on you're not going to hear about it right away. If being impatient for CIG to come crashing down is the sole focus of your life right now, jfc I dunno what the crap is wrong with you.

Did Crobbers publish a cocaine fuelled diatribe at you? For Derek, first it was about his one true love (space sim games), then Crobbers wrote that spiel of poo poo at him (which made Crobbers look like the worse egomaniac of the two) so yeah, for Derek it's kind of personal.

As for you, I'm curious if Derek ran over your cat or something, because you sure are salty and bitter about him.

CIG is just the same as an economic bubble. It'll poo poo itself completely at some point, but they'll try to keep things ticking over as long as they can. I can patiently wait until the shitstorm starts. :gary:

Nah that's a legit thing. Using a Tim Tam as a giant chocolatey straw to drink your tea/coffee/hot chocolate is great fun and a decadent treat that Sandi would love to maliciously enjoy in front of a dieting Ben and Hobo Santa.
