I'm glad we can be redeemed. Not so sure about the star citizen community what with its public facing employees being racists, pedophiles, and sexual harassers.

E: Phone posting so here's a random cat.

Lethality could probably make a good living as some sort of idea tester. Everytime someone comes up with something they want to sell, they run the idea past Lethality first and drop it like a hot coal if he likes it. He could genuinely benefit the world instead of being a oval office.

He could be quite useful as a contrarian indicator, indeed.

Theres a reason he doesn't make videos anymore. Turns out, when development progresses at this pace many things get fixed and the videos just aren't compelling, even to goons. I respect him for his intellectual honesty for stopping and don't think he 'edited' his config files. Alphas gonna bug after all.

Serious question for you Beer: How do you feel about being the "regular guy" buffer between the egos of Chris Roberts and Derek Smart in that article?

Also, how does it feel to be famous? Are you going to turn into a massive jerk?



No more of a jerk than I already am.

I think it says a lot that someone like me is the closest the article can come to a "regular guy" as a point of reference. I will say that I thought Peter did a fantastic job in his article and he is the definition of a consummate professional. The backers won't believe this for a second, but everything Peter wrote was done from the view of an outsider trying to get a grasp on the whole thing. He went out of his way to do a thorough investigation (and gave Chris ample opportunity to respond), and if the tone of the article is negative it's because that's exactly how screwed up Star Citizen is.

For me it's just been a trip. I'm just this random guy on the Internet who got interested in spaceships and wanted to see a game from his childhood hero get made. I see myself a lot in many of the folks involved, even Ben and his obsession with Wing Commander. I've made friends, had really cool experiences, and am probably one of the few backers that Ben, Sandi, and Chris are familiar with because of what I've done instead of how much I've paid. I even got a really good beer recipe out of it thanks to saq. The article is absolutely right that Derek is a really nice guy when he's not being an Internet Warlord. To go from the high of drinking beers with Erin and Eric (thanks again Bootcha) at PAX East to the low of being banned (and the subsequent rebound of Sandi's e-mail chain) has been incredible. Probably the only thing I regret is loving up the encryption on the Vindicator reveal, and even then that turned out well.

So how do I feel? Pretty drat good.

You've said recently you cant even bug through the door anymore so its not good footage if you aren't naked. There no reason to be dishonest just to try and score points on the forums.

I hope when the game comes out you start making videos again as, even if its woefully misdirected in a hateful direction, you are capable of making some amusing stuff.

No, if I could make videos I would - if it was fun.
I can glitch through all the doors as usual, but that's not fun, we've seen it many times. I'll say this again, because you are passively aggressive calling me a liar - I don't make videos right now because the game crashes every five minutes (CIG even said this may happen in the latest update) and it corrupts my video file, there is literally nothing more to it than that.
You can either:
A) Believe the source - me
B) Trundle along weaving your own narrative

It's up to you, ask me how much I mind either way, the answer may surprise you!
