Another Kickstarter project bites the dust.

The Kickstarter page is worse than Steam's community pages

kickstarter.com/projects/sodap…
It makes sense now why earlier this year they claimed the Kickstarter comments were toxic, that they were going to leave etc. There was no game to deliver or talk about. Now the truth is out and $1.3M gone.

The legal battle between @draginol and P&F over Star Control, took a very interesting (tip: litigating your case in public is NEVER a good idea. EVER) .

gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-…
@draginol P&F, in what I can only attribute to a serious lapse in judgment, wrote a blog (some of it is a rather dubious take on what constitutes copyright infringement) explaining their view of what is going on. It's quite the read.

Naturally, Brad published his response to that blog, which at this point, you have to wonder if they are actually listening to their attorneys - at all.

Just putting this here for posterity. That time when Chris Roberts again blatantly LIED to Dean over @GamesBeat

Except context to follow...

venturebeat.com/2018/12/20/sta…
@GamesBeat Aside from the fact where their financial "brochure" showed NO SUCH THING. No cash basis. No liabilities. No line item tangible expenses. No balance sheet. No audit claims.

Except that if you were "open" the US financials would have been made public, and then nobody would need to be doing back-of-the-napkin math.

Aside from the fact that the financials CLEARLY show that you're spending MORE than you're raising.

What a rather devious way to end the year. So P&R have issued yet another DMCA against Star Control Origins released a few months ago by @draginol

via @mmofallout

mmofallout.com/star-control-o…
@draginol @mmofallout It doesn't have to be true or false as there's a lawsuit going on. If I were to guess, I'd say they did this latest one because they were emboldened by a recent favorable ruling in that case.

courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
It's unprecedented for a third-party to respond so swiftly to take down a product immediately upon receiving notice. But seeing as both Steam & GoG are being sued by P&R, I can see why Steam & GoG would err on the side of caution.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Can we just stop saying that Longguo called his fans delusional? He literally never said that. The caption said disillusioned and was mistranslated in that thread of "proof". He never said he hates his fans either. He did say some were like nagging mother in laws or smt like that
I wanted to share my thoughts on this "proof" thread but I see some Joyfuls reported the poster and she was suspended. Not cool guys. I can understand because that thread was full of misinfo but she had a really nice Jung Sewoon account and only tried to help by translating 😑
The translation was a bit lacking and it did cause a lot of misunderstandings but there wad another thread commenting and debunking some of the claims also. I'm guessing that also disappeared with the original thread.
I just want to clear some things up.

This article from the Washington Examiner came out yesterday and I have not seen anyone talking about it.
Oh My!
@POTUS Brilliance
Under New Management: Trump's ‘fresh eyes’ sparks massive federal reform- washingtonexaminer.com/washington-sec…
1) This article points toward President Trump's 32 point plan to reform and streamline our government agencies.
2) The plan is a work of art. I have been in the business world for many years and this is a succession plan on steroids. This plan will do MANY things, both seen and unseen, but will streamline our government from being a bureaucratic cesspool, to being a well oiled machine!

(THREAD) It's time to tell the biggest untold story of the 2016 election: how a cadre of pro-Trump FBI agents and intel officers—some active, some retired—conspired to swing the election to Trump. The story involves Flynn, Prince, Giuliani, and others. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ True Pundit is a pro-Trump fake news site that began publishing on June 9, 2016—the day that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower to discuss the Kremlin's provision to the Trump campaign of incriminating material on Clinton.
2/ True Pundit would quickly reveal itself as having the same agenda Trump Jr. had when he met with Kremlin agents on the day True Pundit launched: its mission would be to destroy Clinton's candidacy by uncovering incriminating material about her—particularly via her emails.
