wot!?

1) He first posted he was in "sunny CA"

2) Shortly after he changed it to "Portland", but not before someone already nabbed the excerpt

3) Someone recently noticed that when he first appeared (Mar 2016), in this post, he had his cat pics. Then, less later (June 2016), he removed (archive) them. And, you know, dumb fucks sharing images online, tend to forget all the XIF data in them, and which some sites tend not to strip.

You joined a forum to be exposed to deserved ridicule and continue to come back over and over. You spend much of your free time researching Derek Smart and posting about what you find on some other forum with a bunch of other loons. You are drowning in a cult that has taken way too much of your money and you are too stupid to get out.

Are you going to be one of those people that kills themselves when this poo poo goes belly up? How are you going to live with yourself after being so provably loving dense?

Stop doxxing people, stop sending death threats, stop obsessively reading 60000000 words posts of the game you hate on reddit, stop trying to rationalize these things as some sort of perverted sense of justice because someone has the wrong opinion on videogames.

Besides, everyone knows Toast is wiley. While Crobberts is trying and failing to wring one more dollar out of the golden goose I bet our friend MoMA here is going to be heading out the back with a $20,000 espresso maker.

Some guy at work the other day was fired for stealing bottles of windex of all things. Work has been interesting lately. The guy tried stealing like a pallet of windex and was caught because it didn't fit in his hatchback, pro-tip, if you steal something, make sure you have a big enough vehicle to steal it with.

ya, google has billions of dollars, star citizen is 100% paid for by guys like you and me sending in $35 at a time for a dream.

you attract and retain the best people by having a vision, and paying fair salaries.

the "show off" brand new thousands of dollar+ furniture, appliances and functionless decorations are typical of what rich movie and game studios have, and i am worried that CR has completely forgotten that this game is crowd sourced by little people, while his ego believes that he is working at EA again or making a blockbuster summer film for a major studio.

crowdsourcing should put all the money into the people salary, the best computer for each of them to work yes, but then mid range furniture, and thrift store every fking thing else to stretch the funding dollars in respect to the backers.

"we only have enough money to finish SQ42 now, and that hopefully would pay to get the PU completed" is an idea that never should have materialized for this game, esp at $142 million.

and you don't need to hire andy fricking $ekis or his company to mocap a dude mopping a floor and pretending he's back on the planet of the apes set growling nonsense words into a microphone. the spending here completely smacks of a person who thinks he is a big movie director backed by a large studio, not a crowd source project backed by working class people.

quote:

142 million not being enough means that we are getting a 200 million dollar game. How is that not a good thing. They will definitely make 200 million if you do account for future pledges, sq42 release and SC preorders. This just means that they budgeted correctly. I would be disappointed if we gave them 200 million and were given a 140 million dollar game

quote:

There is an old episode of the This American Life podcast that emphasises just how powerful optimism can be. It tells the true story of Don Lowry, who set up a lonely hearts club business, in which men would pay to receive deeply personal love letters from women he called “angels”. The women were not real, but the “relationships” went on for years. Eventually, it grew beyond letters and many men lost a lot of money to their correspondents. Lowry was charged with mail fraud, conspiracy and money-laundering and went to prison for 10 years. A lot of the men who had been defrauded were angry. But incredibly, some defended Lowry, picketing the courtroom during his trial, even after they had realised they had spent years pouring their hearts out to him. Because the hope of love was better than not having love at all.
