It's amazing some of the poo poo that stewed in this thread while I was absent from posting for 2 or so weeks. I was glad to see Smart hasn't changed (in fact, I feel he's really starting to go off the deep end with his theories), and to see some of you arguing as to whether or not I'm financially stable to just throw money away at a non-existent game led by a scam artist. Good job all.

The only lore video I've ever watched said the Space Whale is just a whale shaped asteroid orbiting the Nemo system. Apparently I got lied to by in-fiction sources.

You've gotta be patient with these things, remember that the NPCs have to support themselves with actual jobs like mopping and sewing jackets, they can't dedicate all their time to writing lore.

Derek left edges behind long ago.

He exists now exclusively in non-euclidean space.
Normal frameworks of space-time cannot encompass or contain him.

That would explain why all his blog posts, no matter when wrote them, are posted in July.

And why an event that was supposedly imminent two years ago that still hasn't happened is proof that he "called it".

He's basically a Hound of TIndalos at this point.

He's not a Hound. But if you listen very carefully to recordings of his voice, you can hear them... whimpering.

The real reason that Miles Eckhart's jacket keeps being refactored is that the Star Citizen economy is dominated by jacket manufacturers and without this added demand for new jackets the whole industry would collapse and thousands of NPCs would starve.

Not if they have a brand new writing mop! It's the future and they have found ways for black people to mop while engaging in literary endeavors. For only $45 they can do both things at the same time.

Real talk, CIG is getting more adept at hiding their fuckups to the point we're talking about them accidentally backing another Kickstarter on their corporate account, or a junior developer leaving to move across the country with their wife.

SC is gonna slowly fizzle into nonexistence and the only thing that will happen is that Derek will be screaming that he called it four years ago. For better or worse, he is the most entertaining thing going on right now.

Seriously, if you're typing up a hot take on why someone here sucks (including Derek Smart) just do everyone a favor and post a recipe instead or something. I know everyone's still all frothy-mouthed over the recent drama or whatever, but this thread seriously needs to pull itself up out of the idiot slapfight nosedive.

See, that's where you've got it all wrong. If the AI's job is 'writer of LORE', then I fail to see why she would be mopping and sewing jackets.

And let's face it, with the in-depth economy and subsumption, if there was to be a slump in the LORE market, then the LORE writers would go onto social benefits, or some such.........

Uh, Star Citizen has a *realistic* economy, in which aspiring NPC writers can't simply support themselves right off the bat without working a second job. Maybe in a less fidelitous game it would not be so, but frankly then you might as well be playing Call of Duty.

Fortunately you can help the lore along by pledging to Citreon, through which you can support struggling NPC writers with the purchase of JPEGs.
