Brave Sir Moma, a parody by Scruffpuff with musical accompaniment from ewe2

Scruffpuff posted:

Bravely bold Sir Moma
Rode forth from basement dark.
He was not afraid to pledge,
Oh brave Sir Moma.
He was not at all afraid
To be robbed by phony devs.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Moma.

He was not in the least bit scared
To be ripped off by a thief.
Or to have his cash burned up,
And his wallet emptied.
To have his pledges spent
And his money pissed away,
By a fat austistic manchild
Brave Sir Moma.

(my addition)

His bitcoins drained and his belt cut off
And his jpegs removed and his coffee unplugged
And his bank account raped and his smirk burnt off and his
penis--

Brave Sir Moma types a meme!
Bravely pastes some manly memes!

When lawyers rear their legal head
He bravely memes his belt to thread

Yes brave Sir Moma takes so hot
About the win that he has not

Bravely with a weak retreat
He memes a bravely burn to bleat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Moma!

We actually only quote MoMA's (and other blocked buddies') posts so that Derek is able to read them, as a service to the community. Unfortunately, as nobody really knows the content of the b.buddies list (not even Derek, I bet), the amount of quotes required to insure that they are read is bound to increase exponentially.It's a quite sad, unsolvable conundrum.

But I have no idea why people quote Derek, to be honest, it's much better to just add a link to his blog.

I figured the _ was going to pretty much make it so nobody could figure me out.

But really it could be fun to let reddit people call me out left and right while I’m not doing anything remotely rude.

I guess they want a cookie. And I’ll just let them roll over me because as fun as it is to be the stereotypical goon looking to cause trouble, it’s equally amusing to not do that and at every step people are tripping over themselves to look for some kind of attack or rude behavior.

Also they stalked me here but still got my gender wrong. I feel like they don’t even really pay attention to me but I’ve made it in their little black book of evil. :shrug:

Just to help it, a lot of government districts whom will remain nameless absolutely forbid their employees of having Facebook. Or really any sort of social media presence at all.

Ironically this requirement actually does cause some people to not go that route. They just can’t part with social media.

Ahhh I’m not getting the inflection here. Translate says he is saying they “may get the answer right and they may not cause a forum storm”, but there is a pause.

Is he saying they “they may get it right, and not cause a forum storm”, or “they may get it right or not, causing a forum storm”?

Though regardless, just saying developers actively working on his game just “may” get something right is very sad. :(

Though I still think it a deal of them having to walk back a ton of promises. So it’s little bits here to test the water, and then “oh you didn’t notice when we did this here [unknown and unrelated topic here]?” to try to see if it “sticks” and everybody is ok with it like it’s been understood for a while, and if it fails at any time just walk it all back and return to endless promises.

Unfortunately nobody seems to get it I guess. :(

Where's Lando "developer" going "Well, I'm less of a developer than you might think!"

Lando has clawed his way to the upper ranks of the “Most Annoying People at CIG” — I find him insufferable to listen to at this point.

I actually was pleased to see an appearance by “Good Sean” on the Livestream earlier this week. “Bad Sean” showed up on that Newegg stream in Q4 to repeat Chris Roberts bullcrap about hundreds of star systems blah blah blah... but Good Sean was actually talking openly about some of their development dysfunction on the livestream which I appreciate hearing confirmed. The talk about Asset Rot evokes Star Marine familiarity, only this time its internal not with a contractor. (Though of course that can’t be possible because Chris said those days were behind them!)

Oh and what a surprise, Lando eventually jumps in to play his valuable role as Normalizer of Organizational Dysfunction because all studios suffer from exactly these same problems. How typical that Chris can count on Lando to boldly proclaim CIG is doing things no other studio ever dared attempt one week because ‘’muh Publishers” and then when he hears Sean being candid about “Asset Rot” and stuff, Lando races to say “this is standard game development.”

Maybe those building AAAA games without design documents, Lando. Maybe those who spend 5 years selling assets before they really started trying to work up the mechanics they pitched from the beginning. You can say it as many times as you want Lando but no, your problems are not just garden variety game studio challenges. No studio funded externally would ever be allowed to screw up as catastrophically as CIG has for 5 years in a row. Chris Roberts would’ve been fired a dozen times by now, Sandi Gardiner would never have been allowed in the door let alone out put in the VP of Marketing slot.

The talent at CIG is stymied and undermined by abject stupidity and hubris that “filters from the top” as they see it. Anyone below them sees it as just more bullshit rolling downhill.

In one of the recent Gamescon/CitizenCons HoboLando joked (in really quite a sneery way) about the "Avocados" - I think it was the one where they died on the ramp at the end of the demo. To me he seemed contemptuous of the Commandos in a big way from his general attitude. This is a man who is, in his own mind, onto a good thing. He seems to be drawing a regular paycheck and, as far as he is concerned, that means he will do and say anything to remain on that sweet, sweet gravy train. As has been remarked upon above ITT he seemed genuinely freaked out while "clarifying" the piracy mechanics in that recent ATV/RTV/Whatever the gently caress that useless shitshow is called. I suspect that he had been subjected to a major shouting by someone (possibly Crobbles) and was at pains to make sure that the buck was firmly passed and that he was seen to be onside by senior management.
