Dear Streetroller,

Your hair is fantastic. As someone who thinks their hair is beginning to thin, this is a very grudging compliment.

On a more serious note, don't let these bastards get you down. They are terrible people. You know that. You're better than them. You're better than most of us. Most of us see Star Citizen unfolding and think "This is going to be good for a laugh" and settle down to watch the car crash. Some people who fell for the initial spiel are getting their money out, and good for them. A few people are doing something to help others, like Beet running r/starcitizen_refunds. You are the only person I know of who has said "This is not acceptable. I'm not going to play by their terms, I'm going to hold them accountable to the morals and laws to which they should be held accountable. I am going to show that their refund policy is bullshit and that Chris Roberts is a liar. By the time I'm finished, Roberts being a con artist won't be a joke, it will be legal fact." Keep doing what you're doing.

Oh, and I find it interesting that straight away, they've assumed your penis doesn't work. I've found bad people generally project their worst failings onto others, showing in this case how Citizens really are a bunch of useless dicks.



TheAgent: if you're dumb enough to pick me as a winner, I'd quite like Mass Effect Andromeda. I thought the ME trilogy was really overrated, so I'm curious to see how much worse Andromeda is.

Dear Streetroller,

I am not an inspirational voice, but you more than made up for that with your actions and your video. So I will only offer the following:

In this storm, only you and Chris stand in the eye. YouTube commenters don't exist. Reddit does not exist. Streamers, bloggers, and Twitter personalities do not exist. Not even Derek exists. Nobody determines the merit or the success of your suit - not even attorneys. The courts will decide.

Let nothing else capture your attention. There is nothing else. Keep your eye on the prize and you can't be stopped.

Anything good since ~5000 posts ago or roughly 2 weeks after lawsuits were announced?

I love the thread title.

And the 5000 posts are largely forgettable. I'd say only like 30% of them are worth reading.

I know you mean "goons" as in "low level thugs," but I'd love to see a Something Awful police state. People being dragged from their homes at three in the morning for unironically using a meme, Gaming Garbage being the only thing on television 24/7, people paying to have their enemies' faces cosmetically altered.

"Faygo" sounds like it should be an offensive term for "homosexual." But then, I'm British and we'll happily eat a meal of faggots followed by spotted dick, so I probably shouldn't mock.

star citizen is a quantum super position of states when it comes to the company developing the game, the engine its using, and the state of completion. any criticism collapses the waveform to whatever combination makes you look wrong and uninformed.
