The best part about this is streetroller widely admitted to not being a goon and only finding out about this thread after his refund when he started googling. He then detailed the steps he had already taken here, Derek then blotted out the sun with another blog about it.

But now Derek made the mainstream media with his blog that exposed the critical weak point in the TOS, invoking the name of the State Authorities and calling forth those who would wish to get a refund with Derek Smarts approval and methods that he pioneered and spread.

Except you're wrong. Maybe you should read his statements about the sequence of events again? He even posted it here, and clearly stated that the impetus for his endeavor was because of the articles (not my later blog detailing it) I had written about refunds. You should go read them. The board has a search function. Use it. Then resume talking poo poo. It will make you look at tad less dumber.

Whatever you do, don't search the thread for "needless bloviating". It's really hard on the servers and just reloads the entire thread sorted by blog mentions.

Excuse me, but Pegasus is not half bird. He is in fact half horse-god and half gorgon.

The other thing that's pretty brilliant about CIG's media campaign is that the signal to noise ratio is so incredibly low it makes it (nearly) impossible to verify anything you think you remember seeing or hearing from two years ago. I'd imagine most backers feel like they have a pretty good handle on knowing what's going on but couldn't tell you specifics about the game due to information overload.

Never was so little info given in the midst of so much noise to so many backers

It seems that in the past couple weeks the thread has turned into something that more and more resembles an outlet to mock Warlord Derek rather than SC, especially after Incident 45.

1/5.

Never forget.

Will stick to discord for awhile.

We have been mocking Derek since he decided to join the party a couple years ago. That's pretty much a core feature of these threads.

This is a really good point. There have been so many times I wanted to dig up something to compare to the current narrative, or just for a laugh (like C-Robbz talking about the "juke system" and how they needed fluid, unique animations into and out of 16 different movement directions at five different movement speeds, or the time when he casually mentioned that Squadron 42 had been redesigned as an open-world game), but they have produced such a massive torrent of nonsense that it's nigh-impossible to find any individual segment, even with the aid of transcripts.

I'm sure the CIG braintrust never planned to employ the "baffle them with bullshit" approach just to cover their collective rear end, but it has definitely worked out in their favor. In addition to making it hard to call them on the ever-shifting scope and featureset, it has given the most trusting shitizens the unshakable belief that their pet feature would definitely exist, even if it was only mentioned once—5+ years ago—and promptly forgotten by everyone involved.

He doesn't get them cleaned, he just keeps buying new ones and hopes adding a new one on top will dampen the stink.

Pusher: What does the disease want?

Miles Eckhart: It wants to... turn me into something else. That's not too terrible is it? Most people would give anything to be turned into something else.

Pusher: Turned into what?

Miles Eckhart: Whaddaya think? A coat closet. Am I becoming a hundred-and-eighty-five-pound coat closet? No, I'm becoming something that never existed before. I'm becoming... Eckhartcloset. Don't you think that's worth a Nobel Prize or two?
