This isn't a double down, it's a triple down.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

I certainly get that Chris Roberts has a passion for storytelling and especially seems compelled to work with cinema techniques and bring in Hollywood buddies, etc. Even the original Wing Commander game was largely framed as a movie, (Good ol' Bluehair) so why doesn't Roberts just make a loving movie and not some weird movie/game hybrid, as it has always felt that both halves got about half the attention they deserved in his games. Or was the Wing Commander movie actually his baby? If he had full creative control on that one, it would be best on the next go round to delegate to more experienced directors when needed and to take on advisors who he will listen to and are willing to tell him no. All I vaguely remember from the WC movie is some stupid necklace, a laughable rubbery kilrathi dude and that it was bad and boring.

The in-universe rag for the Tiger's Claw crew was the greatest thing when I was ten. I miss cool box inserts.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I dunno, Kerri-Lee left the DC TV market in 1999, the same year LOAF moved to Texas, I don't know how he could have gotten any Kerri-Lee pictures unless people were sending them to him, which would be weird because 1. it's weird 2. the joke was already pretty thoroughly dead 3. I don't think anyone else had a TV capture card.

You may not be fully grasping the concept of "stalking."

A sincere, and heart-felt apology

He panders to sympathy, gives non-apology apologies, shifts blame for his behavior to anywhere other than himself, and tops it off by sucking any possible sincerity out of it by telling us he only has to do this because of the trolls. He simply can't believe he's being forced to lower himself to addressing this issue, but he's going to roll his eyes, and huff out a massive wall of excuses so he can put this behind him once and for all.

Another day dawns at CIG. The klaxons and flashing red lights still haven't abated. So Ben sits down to write us a letter.





It does back up my theory that Ben really was bundled up in cotton wool when growing up. Again he fails to see why his actions are bad and how damaging it is trying to pass them off as follies from when he was younger. It basically reads as a giant dismissive non apology "Hey it's who I am...deal with it." And all the little extra details only makes him appear even more tragic as his obsession with WC is so unhealthy that he chose to study in Austin because the game was made there.

quote:

You can search through my entire life and you won’t find anyone saying I was unkind or unpleasant.
I'm sure if we can ever pull up the WC chat logs we'd doubt you on that. Given former community members attest to your behaviour being not much different than today.

Hard Light Forums [Freespace 2 posted:

Technically Bandit LOAF is attacking my work and the work of every member of the SCP and every modder. I've never liked Bandit LOAF, i've always thought him an rear end in a top hat - and I will not tolerate it.
And if that's too far back in the past your recent sorties on the Star Citizen forums. You can list your band of merry men all you like in your defence but remember you have over a decade of being bitter, selfish and vindictive towards a community who supported you with your issues to begin with.

The general view is that people don't see you as a bastion of Wing Commander, keeping the fires burning well into the night, but as an individual who is tragically obsessed to the point of ruin. You sign up to random forums just to set the facts right and promote flamewars on trivial WC facts going so far as to squeeze every nugget of "canon" out to prove what is basically wild speculation.
