I'm beginning to even think the whole POTATO thing was just luck, the ship name was always whatever it ended up being their web guy just deployed the page with the obfuscated name by accident.

Derek was balanced out by the humor gleaned from other people being especially angry about him being Derek.

With that font of humor seemingly exhausted we've 0 humor but 1 Derek. Meaning that things are out of balance.

To our mounting horror we have come to realize that we are the caretakers of the Derek Smart archive. We always have been.

Nobody is mad about Derek, this is a thread about laughing at Star Citizen, and Derek lying about insider knowledge and blustering about lawsuits and his posters I have been defeated by list is all part of the comedy. CIG goes dark at the beginning of the year so all we have right now is Dr. Dumbass and his street preacher proclamations of the end times.

He's talking about who CiG have retained, not when Skadden appeared. I believe you. I believe Derek. I work on what I *know* rather than what I suspect, or what someone else has told me. In IT, people lie to you, so you always confirm, but never condemn. You collect facts, rather than suppositions or hearsay and you're always ready for bad news, or to give bad news rather than to massage or otherwise make it palatable.

It's one of the reasons I like the legal stuff; apart from the messy advocacy part, it's all pretty transactional and logical. it's _clean_. Then you roll in the Lawyers and a jury and it all goes to poo poo.

They aren't. It's just the same as always where people feel the need to placate themselves as the super goons who reverse own the warlord by posting the same poo poo that has been posted 1001 times.

Top Hat manages to entertain while doing so at least

Moma comes back for nothing else anymore which is rather sad but then again after half a year of "quote the poo poo out of this" shame I guess that's the last safe bet to take.

God I hate seeing what this industry has turned into. I mean I get that it's a business, but it just sucks. Games used to feel like a development team put their heart and soul into it. Now they all feel like a Marketing Team put their heart and soul into it.

That’s not the case, and is a hyperbole opinion. We put are hearts and souls into many of our games from begining to end. Ask any triple A dev team who they hate the most, and they’ll almost always say marketing, because those dudes get it wrong constantly. But the content and games themselves (beyond the biz and marketing guys) are still approched with same level of dedication and love. Otherwise: why even work in the buisiness. It will ruin you (or spit you back out) if you have no passion for the craft.

Yeah pretty much. I "care" about the lawsuit to the extent that it's funny and I like hearing "lol CIG's getting sued by Crytek" and I genuinely am not concerned with the day-to-day speculation about the next moves of the companies or legal firms involved. Some people are and that's fine, I'll let them hash it out. But it definitely doesn't seem worth having a slapfight over to me. I feel pretty much the same way about any of Derek's "calls" - like it just seems like such a weird hill to die on. To my mind the things worth really ribbing him over are the funny self-owns like the Leonard Skinly incident, and the only thing that's actually kind of legitimately "frustrating" is when he stops interacting with people and just copy/pastes his whole blog for fifteen posts in a row. Everything else is just the normal ebb and flow of the thread.

But I guess we got fiesty MoMA today, so some light slapfighting is probably on the menu.
