Watching a little bit of SC streaming. The fidelity animations are so unskippable you can't even die until they finish. There's no indication why you died either. And holy poo poo does it take a long time to get into the spaceship. It's so bad.

Lesson learned from an old ITsec guru :

First day on the job, create a "Pearl Harbor File".

Whats that ? Everytime you recommend new security best practices, drill, simulation or audit and it get denied, you file the reasons very carefully in that folder, so that the day <Insert security disaster you anticipated but where denied means/funding to prevent> happen, you can very precisely point out who,when and why decided it was not worth listening to you.


poo poo. I remember spending hours with those Intel docs at the university library for a course asking us to code a Tetris clone in assembly language for early pentiums. Got the basic game working for a "B+" (You needed a scoreboard and music to get "A". My "music" was just random noises like a slot machine) but that thing was brutal.

The only time I had a CT, they shot me up with morphine and ativan immediately after. I said it wasn't enough, and they dosed me again. My arm burned on the first dose for a few seconds. After the second, I was chill as poo poo. I then ate a bag of doritos, downed a huge cup of coffee, got driven home from the ER,, and had the best sleep of my life for the next 10 hours.

Sorry about the barium in your chode. Ask for the opiate and benzo combo next time.

I love how every single context sensitive action in the verse is USE

It's like any food item you buy that says USE BY instead of best before or enjoy by. You don't use food, you eat it! <>

What an interesting discussion that whole thread produced! Forgive my rambling, I found the whole thread incredibly interesting.

Discussions were considerably more coherent than discussions about the chart on /dereksmart, who conspicuously chose to archive the ugly inverted chart, not the lovely original. (That's hardly good faith documenting, DS friends, I really did endeavor to make it a lovely to look at...)

MMORPG forum discussions about Star Citizen fit the future-facing, past-revising positivity bias originally modeled at RSI forums. Permnanent embeds like Max Bacon and Erillion have 10,000+ posts between them yet I've never seen one demanding accountability from CIG, for 'tis Heresy. The "9 Voices of Star Citizen Debate" discussion produced lots of engagement and views yet is the only MMORPG forum post closed from the first page of threads. Why? ("Goons!" )

Self-appointed, totally non-biased forum mayor Erillion rushed straight to ad hominem. Only a few weeks ago, when the Alpha 3.0 Infographic hit his jurisdiction, he countered with sawed-off shotgun blasts stereotyping the source and defending Chris Roberts against the implications of the work:



I can hardly vouch for my own trustworthiness, of course, but the irony isn't lost that Erillion is one of the most energetic, full-throated defenders of Chris Roberts, a person who has indisputably lied brazenly and repeatedly over a 5 year span. he has done it before live audiences numbering in the five digits and raised $156 million doing it, yet Erillion is not only untroubled by all of that, he's eager to stereotype criticism from SA because not a single participant here can be trusted. We are all uniformly evil, hellbent on chaos, lacking constructive motives, etcetera while Chris Roberts is cool and good and furthermore...

So, in light of his take on the Alpha 3.0 chart, it's really rich that only a few weeks later, when the 9 Voices chart hit MMORPG and the OP asked people to identify where they fit on the chart, Erillion immediately identified himself as a "Believer."

This is a guy who has written 7,600+ posts in that forum alone, hundreds of which include broadside attacks on critics ("goons!" ), yet he considers himself only mildly-positively biased, not engaged in Evangelism and certainly not attacking perceived threats on moralistic grounds.

Are you sure we're the ones engaged in a propaganda war, Erillion?

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about Star Marine - January 2016 - a tour de force thread starring Erillion as paladin defender of Chris Roberts, Derek Smart as the firebomb thrower, justagamemode, Sunny's Diner, Lando Santa and the special edition Porsche PLUS a very special guest appearance by Lethality as the "Jason Hutchins is not gone. I welcome proof that he is." guy.

Flashback: MMORPG Thread about the Star Citizen tracker - April 2017 - Max Bacon and Erillion sing another stirring rendition of "Goons! " (Max Bacon wanting to host the tracker to make sure it's honest is though.)

I didn't sign any ToS, and simply shrink-wrapping a EULA with a downloader is not ironclad. He seems to have forgotten precedence or the entire concept of 'bad faith', which is entirely at odds with 'arguing with christians on facebook'. The thing he's looking for is 'post hoc ergo propter hoc', and the argument he's emulating has been done over, again and again.

The fun thing is that it exposes Dunning-Kruger quite well because he's assuming that his experience is the sum total of experience without then falsifying; debate from a position of being correct isn't a debate, it's an argument.

I experienced Dunning-Kruger first hand the first time I watched good Hearthstone players stream. I watched some Asian prick with smalltism play Arena and I poo-poo'd every pick he made...then he owned. So I watched a few more pricks-of-the-litter, and while all alone at my PC I talked the most exquisite poo poo about each one of them and each one's picks. But each one owned. And it turns out that I was the prick-of-the-litter, and to this day I still can't make legendary.

I think you'll find the further clockwise you go on that chart, the more you'll find people being disingenuous with their own bias/thoughts. Has any poster anywhere said with a straight face that they're in the furthest 2 clockwise sections?
