Fidelity. You could have the company come out and simply announce things, but in this high fidelity model, you get your news by asking people next to you to speculate on what a third party is doing.

It's like birdwatching with a friend.

If you haven't been keeping up with that OldSchoolCmdr guy (who our friends think I am, even though he's been owning them all week) taking on some of those backer guys, I have compiled his latest. This one stuck out at me. This is part of a response where he was summarizing what I said in my weekend Periscope broadcast. These are the four crucial things I had claimed in my original July 2015 blog, and which some backers keep ignoring and/or denying.

quote:

5) that he was right about a lot of things back in 2015.

(a) the money: they would need $150m. 2 years later they are at $148m and game still not done

(b) the engine: they didn't have the tech or the right engine. 2 years later they switched to LumberYard

(c) refunds: they were not doing no-questions-asked refunds as they should. they started doing it 2 years later after one person tested his theory about the TOS which they later changed to strengthen that aspect

(d) schedule: which they started doing 2 yrs later

How? :negative:

They say he's me. He's been owning them all week to great hilarious effect. To the extent that their entire cubby hole is in disarray. To accept that he's me, would be for them to accept that I'm the one rustling their jimmies.

I'm not him. Anyone who doubts this, is free to take him up on his NYC lunch at Starbucks invite.

He's been owning those rear end-clowns all week. He posted a thread asking for some answers. And of course they do what they always do: attack n00bs. This one wasn't a pushover. Then they made the mistake of dragging me into a Star Citizen discussion even though I have NOTHING to do with the game's success or failure.

If OldSchoolCmdr were Derek, then why is he just now owning shitizens in long form? Derek would have no reason to do so under an alias. He would be proud to do it under his own name. OSC is also more laborious than even Derek. That's one of the reasons I hope he never starts posting here.

OSC's stuff is so long form I can't even read it, and I read most of Derek's stuff. OSC is loving nuts.

I'll tell you what has freaked me out.

I signed up to Linked In a few weeks ago. I used a completely fake name I've never used anywhere before, because I only signed up to message someone.

Linked In has sent me messages asking me if I know people, with 5 listed. One is my mom's best friend. One is my best friend. One is a psychiatrist who did an evaluation on me years ago, that I met once and never had any communication with outside of the one single professional meeting. One is a plumber I hired 10 years ago, who I also never had any communication with outside of him snaking my drain line. The last one is an elementary school classmate I haven't thought of in over 25 years.

It seriously has me weirded out. I use made up names on every service, don't have any social media presence, and they connected a doctor to me. What the gently caress is that about? Facebook has similarly concerned me, but not to the extent of outing my doctors. It's some black magic poo poo.
