btw, he wrote two masterpieces this morning about the potential legal situation for CIG (Sandi's in it).

WHY CIG IS LEGALLY hosed (PT1, PT2)

And since he showed up and dragged Jester86 into his thread and gave him a 10K word lashing (PT1, PT2) about his toxic Reddit, /r/ds has been in complete meltdown mode.

This was a lovely takedown when they claimed that I called Sandi a prostitute. They claim to be "archiving", but nobody could find a single instance of me saying it. Weird, that.

That guy is brutal. When I grow up, I want to be just like him. :grin:

This weeks Commlink:

quote:

Greetings Citizens,

I hope you all had a stellar weekend. I know I did! I am in the final stretch of my trip to LA, where I have been working closely with the rest of the team planning and discussing all things community/event related for 2017. We’re really excited about meeting many of you at Gamescom and CitizenCon later this year.

With that, let’s take a look at this week.

On Tuesday, the Lore Team will release another installment in one of their many continuing series. The Star Citizen Universe is rich with history and a past/future worth exploring. If you find yourself easily immersed in a good story, fascinated by the design of Star Citizen, or just hungry for more information, these posts are made for you!

On Wednesday, Mark Abent returns to smash yet another bug in an all new episode of Bugsmashers! This show gives a unique opportunity to explore the complexity of Star Citizen’s development.

On Thursday, Around the Verse checks in with Foundry 42 UK for an in-depth look at what the studio has been up to in the last month.

Speaking of last month, Friday brings us the April Monthly Report! Having the opportunity to take a step back and see all the work being done by our team around the globe is nothing less than inspiring. These are a treat for us as much as they are for all of you!

As a reminder, there will be no Happy Hour this Friday, but we are really excited to have Josh Herman joining us next week for another installment of Happy Hour: Gamedev.

That’s all for this week, we’ll see you in the ‘Verse!

Tyler “Zyloh” Witkin
Lead Community Manager



Yep, cut out the Friday show to twice a month.

Thank you, kind SA person.

It all started in the mists of game development time, 2012.
I was eagerly looking for a new game to waste money on, when I heard a rumour of a possible comeback from Coding Guru - Christopher Roberts.
I think I may still have a poster of him, or perhaps he is in my Scrapbook titled,
"Coding Legends of the 80-90's- Where Are they Now?"

Anyhoo, I digress.

I eagerly jumped on to the Kickstarter site looking for said game, but hailing from a country other than the Unites States, was wary of said Kickstarter.
The whole setup looked a tad dodgy.

But word was afoot that CIG would be opening their own site, where donations could be donated for 'packages'.
Once that occurred, I jumped straight on to donating for a 'Freelancer' package, as a homage to the mind numbingly brilliant job that 'The King of Code - Chris Roberts'™ had performed on the game with the same name (until the wet blanket, Micro$oft, spoiled the party)

The rest, as they say, is history.

I have been eagerly watching the refactoring of Star Citizen ever since.
I still possess my package, as I really want that 8 Gig spaceship thumb drive.

I stumbled upon this forum of like minded optimists, after googling "Is Dyson OK for performing fellatio"
No idea what half of that meant, but I'm teaching myself Latin and it sounded like a fun combo.

Thanks for listening.

Here son, read these two threads.

It's getting hard to hate Derek Smart in the Derek Smart hate Reddit group. People are starting to wonder if the sub was a good idea after all this time.

Mods can still turn it around though. Only wholesome hate allowed now. None of that crude, disgusting hate. No more talking about Derek's genitals allowed.

New batch of leaks havw arrived!

-3.0 missing June and htting mid-July
-The only way 3.0 hits June deadline is cutting more content from the patch, Chris wants nothing cut.
-Dissension in the ranks in the UK, some top brass may be leaving before gamescom.
-Positions in Germany and UK are still empty, and even CIG has given up on recruiting fresh-out-of-school candidates. They've been blacklisted by most reputable learning centers anyways, so no more free hires.
-CIG misses E3 AGAIN! Clearly the largest gaming expo in the West isn't big enough for the boy and his blob. Chris will have a newsletter out to explain how the focus is with Gamescom because Germans and the market there. Basically a repeat on last year.
-Sandi's having a harder time getting bit parts due to her lovely attitude on the set, her increased presence at CIG will be explained as "needing more mocap for the pusher"
-Sandi still doesn't know what her nickname is supposed to mean
-Gamescom won't have a new build, patch, or update, unless you count a really lovely tech demo
-Tech demo still doesn't have working AI, expect more goofy monsters
-Wormsign!
-Ben Lesnick spends most of his days in his office playing wing commander. He pretends this is for his archiving work (its not :ssh:)
-Hello Space Kitty earned CIG a C&D.
-Cafeteria scene is being worked on because hangar is too big and has too many models, causing crashes and horrific slowdowns.


Thats it for now

Well, in fairness the redditor did claim that a mistyped ejector port was COMPLETELY different and totally doesn't sound or read close enough to the actual name for them to understand. The person also refused to prove their service.
