So our new contender for my WIP blog (latest PDF export) on the abusive White Knights in the Star Citizen community, is Nick Butler (that's him in the wheelchair) aka /user/NitroTypat/ aka @Bipii_4084.

If you look at his Reddit and Twitter feeds (1, 2, 3, 4), he is one of my top harassers (I'm rounding them all up like cattle, for the blog, then I'm going to link to all their social media feeds).

Hey Nick, if you don't knock it off, I'm going to have my people get in touch with your Dad in Virginia and let him know you're harassing people online. No further warnings. Go play a game or something.

This is hosed up.

Zinda is an ace flyer, able to easily handle any type of aircraft. She is a fine markswoman, skilled in the use of a variety of weapons, and has superior abilities in hand-to-hand combat.

She if often known to dual wield hand guns which she is an expert with and on one occasion even used a shotgun. Though she prefers firearms, Zinda is more than capable of holding her own in a fight and does not give up easily.

Zinda enjoys cooking, dancing, and drinking in her spare time. There is a running gag through most issues of Birds of Prey about her strong love for alcohol, which, she boasts, she can order in 30 different languages.

Right. While conveniently forgetting that when you've been with someone - and married to them - for the best part of 20 years, there are no secrets. Aside from the fact that my wife isn't deaf, blind, dumb or stupid, and like every spouse on the planet, has access to social media. And like every spouse married to a public figure, you already know what to expect.

They're inconsequential morons.

Had they sent such a letter, she would have read it, shared it, then analyzed the crap out of it. I then get to post it in my blog (and send it to the media) as yet another example of the behavior of the upstanding Star Citizen community. heh.

I hope she shaked her head disapprovingly when you bought some spaceship jpgs.

X-wings and Y-wings to me are not that different. Sure, some of the SC designs are better than others, buy you look at this:



and think "military fighter", you look at this:



and you think "space truck", which is good enough.

Also, you look at this:



and you obviously think "space news van".

I'm still not over this lol. They dont look like the things youre saying they are in the slightest.

The first one looks like some kind of gunship and not a fighter. Its got long wings to work in atmoshpere or something and strafe at different angels.

The second is some kind of heavy weapons platform with the big railguns on the side and flat back that should have some kind of mounted gun. There is nothing about it that looks like a cargo ship. The cockpit is huge relative to any cargobay. Its too small to be a truck and doesnt look fast for some kind of smuggling ship and seems rigged to just mount weapons above its size category.

The news van hilarious looks like some kind of fighter/bomber but idk.

All this "sticks" and "cups" bullshit it what's hosed. Civilised people use weights, preferably grams. A gram is a gram is a gram, no need to worry if a store has packaged something in an unusual way or if you've chopped something too finely or coarsely or left air pockets in your weird scoop. Plus no need to cram butter into a second container, just cut a bit off the block and weigh it.

Like I think Smart is a dumb gently caress and don't really care what happens to him. It just happens that CIG is such a collective shitstorm in basically every way and in every step of their process have managed to gently caress things up in new and spectacular ways that we've been brought together to laugh at them. This doesn't make us ignore Smart when he fucks up it just means that CIG is way worse.
