Nope. Not ever, not once. Not my style. Too much ego and arrogance to consider that I have to hide in order to express my views and/or wahlord.

I was a bit disappointed that Derek didn't say "It's not just six studios, it's 17 different companies, most of which have no obvious functional purpose to creating the game."

Show was good. Derek talks better than he types.

Indeed.

I have always said that it was never my intention for the project to fail. So I'm guessing that Shitizens are probably scratching their heads tonight that I wasn't bashing the game at all.

Dear Dr Smart can we get an audiobook version of your book, read by you, when its out?

i would 100% buy this if you did it derek

do this, then do a "director's commentary" of the audio book, which is just you talking more loudly over the top of you reading the book out

I like these, they would go well with some of the CIG 'shows' that have a sepia filter, all sound removed, and some minor increase in frame speed, maybe a few dud frames and 8mm cinefilm effects laid over it.

A pace changing piano track adaptively backing the "now an 1890 silent film production" to set the scene would be ticklingly good too. :)

There was a sticked post in the SC sub that was that cartoon of Derek with *autistic screeching* over his head. That's how they view Derek and all the "haters".

Its really a shame Star Citizen turned out the way it is, because I just watched a "gameplay vid" and yeah, there's no gameplay or game but they did a good job on the graphics at least.

If only they made a basic singleplayer sandbox game, not made by chris roberts.

One thing I noticed in the vid is that:

A. the performance sucks

B. he tries to land his cargo ship and get out by going on a little cargo platform but the game stutters and his positioning stutters and he can't move whilst the cargo platform is moving

it's like garrysmod when you are walking on a moving object

and then he can't even trade the cargo because the game doesn't recognize that there's even a cargo ship landed

Still waiting on part II of this whole thing to drop, but you could be right.

Not that they can really talk about it, becuase, y’know, it’s part of the settlement amount that’s creeping upwards, let alone the damages.

We're at war with Goons. We were attacked by Goons. Do you want to kill Goons, or would you rather have Citizens killed?

Bayonnefrog posted:

Yes. You're spot on. And as a much better write than myself or your random internet person you were probably uniquely positioned to be that litmus test case. Because your clear well-reasoned questioning really contrasts against the personal hateful vindictive attacks from their side. No answers no reasoning. Just a "we don't like DS so we don't like you bye." Do they no know how many complaints and junk get thrown around about companies online? It happens on a daily basis and many factors worse. So enlightening that entire exchange.

Yes, this is what is so astounding. 99.9% of companies see your request and follow their policies and respond and it's everyone have a nice day. It kind of shows the mickey mouse level operation they have going on there. Even a simple customer service request gets blown up into something much bigger. Not to get all dramatic but for me it was a Joseph McCarthy-US Army questioning level of a mistake for them and at least for me turned me against the project entirely.

ps: sorry last thing: I could be going overboard again here but I've said in other places: I think CIG and this entire kickstarter, game development saga will have Harvard Business School cases written on it. Mostly on the mismanagement of the whole thing and what not to do.

I said years ago that Frontier vs. CIG were going to be business cases used in every MBA program worth a drat circa 2020...

Great discussion Derek and Bootcha — when that guy “James” in chat asked about why the panel wasn’t more balanced by backers, my first thought was “please let it be DisturbedJim!”

Alas, no joy. But still it was a good solid reasonable discussion.

Really guys? You couldn't scrounge up one single solitary person to talk on stream about why star citizen is good? It shouldn't be that hard, there are five, maybe six SC streamers that talk about how great star citizen is for hours every day. Oh wait, they're paid shills and wouldn't want to get spanked by Derek on a stream that they can't shut down...

I reached out to a bunch of them, including Montoya who said on Thurs that he would do it. Then he disappeared. Some even contacted the organizer, then disappeared.

But yeah, they're all cowardly fucks who only function in their sad little bubble with Shitizens as their audience. Even Montoya, who isn't as crazy as those other guys like Astropub, Twerk17, BoredGamer, WTFO et al, didn't want to do the show.

Also, FailureToReport who I also recommended, since he was a backer and has a unique insight, was confirmed. And minutes before we were to go live, he loving bailed. He had an "emergency". Leaving the hosts scrambling to find a replacement (which was Kevin) in less than 15 mins! Which is why we started late.

C'mon dude, no reason to air quote the dude. Sometimes that hour you thought you had, you don't. Especially around the holidays.

Also we all know they'd be terrified to go on livestream with you. You are their literal Satan.

It's really loving funny that in the video the "why no balanced panel?" comes up right after all three of you said the space doors and other spending are at their discretion. Oh man, so negative! Claiming the studio should have its own agency on its spending!
