TheLastRoboKy posted:I get the impression some of these weird stalkers think that because Lowtax did that whole terrible joke article and got away with it they can say unfounded things and get away with it. There's a big difference between a joke article on a comedy website that blatantly states it is an attempt to get threatened with litigation, and people making claims on a subreddit that is claiming to be archiving and displaying information on said person they're making claims about. All the other people named Derek Smart should start a class action suit for defamation

Star Citizen: Hangin' Left

Tippis posted:It is, but as usual, it's because they're completely mangling the meaning like they've done with “refactor” or “bug” or “pipeline”. This is a good explanation. Thank you, friend. So pretty much making a big deal out of something that's been done before, except correctly by other groups that don't talk about it. Like persistence to save data.

cool new Polack jokes posted:All the other people named Derek Smart should start a class action suit for defamation Just to comment on the proposed defense of Lowtax saying he raped a petting zoo: Courts recognize a standard involving a reasonable person. If you state something libelous/slanderous, but it's not something a reasonable person would believe to be true, with context taken into account, courts will reject the claim. Stating that someone raped a petting zoo is not something a reasonable person would believe to be true, especially when it's on a website full of comedy articles. Stating someone has warrants in NC, on a page supposedly for archiving information, is something a reasonable person would be likely to consider as true. There was a case where Larry Flynt printed awful stuff about Jerry Falwell in Hustler, but it was eventually decided that the content wasn't something a reasonable person would believe to be true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler_Magazine_v._Falwell quote:Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit public figures from recovering damages for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), if the emotional distress was caused by a caricature, parody, or satire of the public figure that a reasonable person would not have interpreted as factual.[1] Whether or not Derek Smart could be considered a public figure, or possibly a public figure within the specific context of Star Citizen, is an open question. I believe the more important distinction here is whether the claim could be reasonably believable.

Top 7 Ways to Ignore Player Feedback by Tanya Short As a game dev, you'll be showing your game to people ASAP to get feedback. But everyone knows (especially game designers) that it's hard and frustrating to get feedback that isn't useful. Which, let's be honest, is most or maybe even all of it. So here's some handy tips on how to ignore those pesky playtesters that aren't worth your time... especially when their feedback isn't the kind you want to hear!
Seriously though, it's very easy to get defensive about your game when it's raw and rough. You see the potential, and it hurts when others don't. I get it. I've been there. But part of being a professional creative is making work that speaks to others, which others can understand, without your translation or interference. It's crucial to let your insecurities drift away and stay centered in your goals for your work, so that you can take feedback and consider it without fear or assumptions. This isn't to say you should take all player suggestions and complaints at face value -- don't be absurd! You're a designer, not a government committee. But it's nearly as dangerous to dismiss misunderstandings too quickly, and doubly sad because you then miss out on an otherwise difficult-to-find insight.. and on top of that, wasted your time "testing". Have more handy tips for "processing" player feedback?

Amarcarts posted:That photo of Chris with the coffee is a foreshadowing of 10 years down the line when it's only a skeleton crew keeping the alpha 4.2.1 build servers up for subscribers. Every day Chris drives in to work in his Chevy Trailblazer, makes his way through the deserted cafeteria full of overturned tables and chairs like an empty shopping mall from a zombie movie, fixes himself an expresso from the $20k machine which is still running just fine because it was built to last. He strolls through the deserted halls sipping his Starbucks, nodding at the two (or three depending on the day) employees he passes. Finally he sits down at his desk and picks up the phone to make the first of 49 personal calls to all the remaining backers who are keeping the dream going indefinitely. Chris thanks them for their continuing support and lets them know about some of the ideas for new ship concepts he and the team have been bouncing around. Up on the wall is a monitor with the current funding numbers: 189 million dollars and 2.8 million backers. The numbers are fake. Chris knows. So do the backers really but it doesn't change anything. So much time has gone by people just don't remember when things were different. This is a great piece of short fiction that, in a couple years, turns to reality.

Next up is integrating the big map network mesh with the overlapping serialized variables for bringing Internet 2.0 to stage. This is all clearly outlined in the "Network" timeline and should be done in like a week. So easy fresh college graduates could do it in java.

I am unsure about the other branches, but in the Navy when you are at ease you are allowed to shift your weight, as you can be in that position for a long time. Most commonly manning the rails entering or leaving port. I have spent more hours than I would like to remember doing that. The individual in the graphic is not at attention or at ease though, they are just milling about/standing around.

Also, I am unsure why you would go to the trouble of equipping your marines with an over the clothes protective vest and then give them soft covers instead of a Kevlar/Head protection device. It is almost like they are not taking into account the practicality of their ideas...hmm....

The whales want to hire non-shipowning plebs to staff their ships like that. Sounds like a lot of fun. In real life you get pride and honor in protecting your country, a living wage, food, housing, employable work experience, education benefits, medical, etc. I guess you should do it for the crumbs a Hull-E owner throws at you in a virtual world.

I also have a book I haven't written! Not to mention I have done ZERO marketing and turned out ZERO merchandise for both the non-existent book AND game. Plus I only have a little Krups Bravo espresso marker with no one but me to run it. So bring it on. I can out-non-produce BOTH of you. With BOTH hands tied behind my back!

When people ignore him because he is acting weird he starts going to the guys wife and hitting any tweets they make with ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES poo poo until the thread manages to talk him down Samizdata posted:Yeah, no. I was asking Ben for answers about the WC:A project. When he mumbled non-answers. ala Chris, I suggested talking to Mrs. Ben. I like that your only real defense is that the employees you went nuts on weren't technically "random" employees. And asking me not to be a redditor? I sarcastically joke about Star Citizen every now and then. You are the one running twitter campaigns of righteous anger and melting down talking about going to jail for assaulting Chris Roberts. Be a little self reflective instead of super defensive buddy, it's a space video game kickstarter and we are making fun of how long it's taking and how much money they have.

It was mostly just a poor jab that the photo they showed was just a "super casual military guy", when generally something like that would have them at attention or a formal casual pose. Everybody is human and everybody is not going to be in some formal pose constantly. It's all good and I probably shouldn't have said anything because I have great respect for soldiers of the military and they can stand however they want to stand without me questioning anything!
