Meridian posted:I can't be assed to post on reddit. Will someone tell PewPew "Nice meltdown" for me? Can't banned from /r/DerekSmart Also, I'm reading that whole "out of the loop" thingy and I remember something from a long time ago that I think bears repeating. What does anyone have at stake in proving Derek Smart wrong? Like... who gives a poo poo if Derek Smart is wrong, at all? If your game releases and is good then why would you ever waste time telling an old indie dev this truthful fact? Just play the goddamn game!

Jobbo_Fett posted:Can't banned from /r/DerekSmart A big part of this is that the people who have backed this are literally trying to live vicariously through chris roberts. Where it gets fascinating is when you realize that in the mind of a whale the "connection" to chris goes both ways. Of course Chris is emotionally distraught that someone is badmouthing star citizen because the fans get emotionally distraught when someone (derek) does the same thing. In their mind all of the "goon spread negativity" of this game is actually putting the game at risk of not coming out; not because The Goons (tm) were right but because Chris and the team were so flustered and hurt by what was said they couldn't get any work done. Thus Derek and any who believe as he does are the enemy and must be stopped.

Love Total War, very fond of Warhammer but only from afar as I've never touched a piece of the tabletop. I just don't have enough time to get through a TW game right now. I remember during a brief sub-lease in the summer, it was going to take two weeks to get an internet install. So I went down to walmart, grabbed Total War Medieval II and, with a brief break from my job, basically didn't know what time of day it was for two weeks and started to dissociate from circadian sleep rhythm. That was a pretty good game.

Star Citizen is crowd funded (well mainly, and I guess almost exclusively as far as the backers know, recent loan aside). Anyone would tell you that negativity and drama during a crowdfunding campaign is a bad thing because it drives potential new backers away (and possibly existing ones). The project sort of gets a grace period -especially from its own backers-, unless it is an obvious scam from the get go or something. And this defense mechanism kicking in would be a fine and understandable (to a point) reaction, if Star Citizen had completed their campaign years ago (and ideally within their kickstarter), and CIG amassed their target sum and focused on working on the game. Because that "backers fight against negativity" would have completed its circle years ago. Problem of course is that Star Citizen has been in perpetual crowd funding state and CIG has no intention of changing this strategy. In fact they are working towards enhancing it as much as possible. So, excluding the obvious shills, it seems that the backers who stayed close to the project are starting to go a bit mad (the bad kind) because they are still trying to prevent negativity and criticism all this time. And the result is sad really, because they are like suspended in time and probably have forgotten what it is that would release them from this state.

Of course there would be a Bitcoin thread. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/bitcoin And, of course there would be civilization collapse plans inside, after the failure of non gold aligned fiat currency.

I dunno, making fun of that guy seems kinda hard for me, as he's obviously really dumb. He agrees with every back-handed compliment to SC, no matter how obvious and is incapable to understand anything nuanced (specially jokes). The snark world of the internet must be loving scary to a person unable to detect that, so he just lashes out when he identifies an enemy.

doingitwrong posted:The one thing we should have learned by now is that time and Star Citizen makes fools of us all. The SC faithful have been so sure that total success is just around the corner for so long. And the SC skeptics have been so sure that total collapse has been just around the corner for so long. And everyone has been wrong. Toops posted:What's most amazing to me at this point is how both sides, the skeptics and the believers, operate with a very similar thought process.

I enjoy it - I've encompassed Star Citizen's continued and unending story into my personal narrative, any major changes to it would be disruptive perhaps to the point of psychosis

Take the canoe out to the middle of the lake and mysteriously lose all your firearms there.But for the apocalypse, just make sure to put a hole in the boat and go down with it.
