TheAgent posted:I think people who tweet stuff like that still suffer from the "girls don't play video games" 'tude from the middle to late 90s I actually think it’s partly that and partly the mentality that “suck my dick” is seen as a condescending comment. Obviously “suck my oval office” never really hit it off despite how hard Branson and his wife tried to make it a common household phrase. Branson is probably having a meltdown somewhere that he tries to coin it but it failed.

CrazyLoon posted:CIG truly deserves Derek Smart to be their nemesis. Well, Derek being CIG's nemesis gave them the perfect opportunity to paint themselves as a victim of some grand conspiracy, because of Derek's deserved reputation of being an obnoxious asshat, his shoddy planetside 2 clone and gewns.

SomethingJones posted:CIG are to an extent making Derek's involvement and blogs about Star Citizen redundant, as they consistently continue to demonstrate ineptness, incompetence and greed all on their own. This has always been the point from day zero that I know a lot of people and myself have been making. Derek’s involvement has not been detrimental to the least for Star Citizen. If anything, CIG has tried harder to do things just to prove Derek wrong. At least they used to >1 year ago when it still felt like they actually cared about the games progress outside of being a money printing machine with jpegs. The funny part is that if everybody teamed up as players against a company practicing shady techniques and little to no progress, CIG may have prioritized making a game instead of making a jpeg factory. So without Derek, Star Citizen today would be even worse than it is now. I feel like this is the honest reality of the situation. Derek has been better for Star Citizen trying to become an actual product than all of the defenders and sycophants combined.

Say what you will about Derek, but he's one of the few people that has a job (had? I don't know if he retired or not) doing what he loves.

It's going to be really confusing over the next few years for the old school, deep-in-the-closet Internet bros, since 90% of their insults are based around implications of gayness, but the general public's attitude toward homosexuality is now "who gives a poo poo?" I guess that why they're shifting to "cuck", since it still has some shock value left, and allows them to continue obsessing over somebody's penis. P.S.: I think "suck my twat" would work better, at least in the U.S. I don't know why, but in America, "oval office" is the dirtiest word imaginable, and it really drags all the focus away from the rest of the sentence.

I think that nobody here will say that he does not love what he does. What I was trying to say is that CIG can point at him, yelling that he is a big bad troll, who is after them, trying to promote his game at the cost of destroying them, utilizing his 'gewn minions'. To distract the crowd from the problems they have, so to speak. 'It is not our fault, we are getting harassed and targeted, blah blah ...' Seriously, how one can think that Derek is some kinda of a supreme commander here is beyond me. I think he is getting as much poo poo as croberts in this thread and when the paywall is down, everybody can read the posts here.

Suck my twat just doesn't feel like it carries the same kind of dominant objectification. But I've nothing better to bring to the table. oval office is almost certainly at the top of the heap. Recently I've noticed sex specific terms like slit and split tail bubbling up from what I had previously assumed was a permanent residency in the shittiest communities. They do tend to have a fair bit of shock value when exposed to the light. Anyways if you're reading this thread and you mod for Rimworld hurry up and update your stuff for B18.

I just logged into my Star Citizen account (yes, I still have one) and had the horrifying realization that I still have something like $250 sitting on it, and for various reasons, the likelihood of getting them to refund it is basically 0.00%. How did I gently caress this up? Why is there this much credit in there? I think during my mad profit-taking spree a year or two ago, I must've looked at my ledger, saw that I was a few thousand in the black, thought about the time and effort required to extract that last $250, and thought "gently caress it, I'm good." The worst part is that I was trying to be optimistic about this gently caress up. "Hey, maybe I can use this to purchase some dumb Star Citizen merchandise to own ironically!" No such luck; even the merch for Star Citizen is hot garbage now. Why can't I buy a ten piece set of Star Citizen pint glasses for hosting Concierge cocktail parties, or one of those $100 die-cast ship models that fall apart in transit? Why can't I show off my lovely Star Citizen merch like some hipster collecting Boo Berry memorabilia? Instead I'm limited to T-shirts most companies would give away at PAX, or a generic, overpriced "sci-fi cityscape" mousepad that will consume my whole desk like  consumes donuts and sadness.I know, it's my own fault for not cashing out EVERYTHING when I had a chance. But I can't help but feel like this is in keeping with the magic of Star Citizen: I actually made a decent amount of money off this train wreck of a game, but it's still found a way to rip me off.

Yes, oval office seems to transcend some pretty big areas for some reason. It’s like the worst of the worst. Somebody will need to create some new insults that hurt all people because in general gay and lesbian is getting less of a derogatory thing (at least it was). Twat isn’t used much, at least not by me. I call dog vajayjays twats though so there’s that. Somebody better get on new horrible insults ASAP.

Well, at least you made this former star shitizen happy that he had refunded his amount 2 years back, when there was a magical moment of them still being fairly quickly processed (they even refunded me the ship I'd sold on the grey market lol!) So, your misery does at least make me glad for myself.

Incitatus posted:Medium - 27 left These numbers, while humorous, probably don’t mean anything. Usually you buy more items that are normal sizes and significantly less for the outliers. So it’s very possible to buy 200 S, 500 M, 1000 L, 750 XL, 150 XXL, 50 3XL, and maybe 20 4XL. Your outliers will move slowly, but hopefully at the end you won’t be stuck with too much inventory that you take a big hit. I know people want to imply “lol Citizens fat!” but it’s just probably not the case at all. Judging by toilet sitting Citizen, I’d wager he was a L or XL at biggest.
