It's so funny to us how those Star Citizen guys are so completely lost in the delusion, that tweets like this, which are clearly (to someone with half a brain) troll bait, tie their brians in knots. They're actually having a debate about its merits.

Let's ignore the fact that F42 did in fact get a new studio manager (Tim Welch). Not to mention Dan Offner who was made CIG director back in May to babysit a $46M investment recently made public this month.
Chris Roberts really tapped into some people with serious mental issues, and promptly proceeded to exploit them to the tune of $200M.

There's no other explanation. But wait; what comes next is going to be even more hilarious.

Tim Welch. Studio Manager of F42, Nov 2018.

My sources are rarely wrong because they know that I don't like people wasting my time with bad intel.

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

@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.

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.

Star Citizen fascinates me. They have raised nearly $200 million dollars. Ppl have spent tens of thousands on bitmaps of spaceships that don't even exist in-game. Heads will roll by the time this is over
Imagine telling your wife that you spent $25k on a picture of a spaceship that **MIGHT** one day exist — in a video game 😐

(THREAD) #Clearly, Giuliani was blindsided when the reporters called in about the June 7 meeting. It was all news to him b/c Trump hadn’t said anything about it. So G should have said: “First time I’ve heard about this. My client never mentioned it. Let me get back to you.”
1/ Instead, b/c Trump had never mentioned it, G went before the nation on talk shows and said: “There was no meeting, and Trump didn’t attend it.”
2/ That of course makes no sense. What he surely meant was: “I believe my client has told me everything, and he didn’t mention such a meeting, so he wasn’t at it even though Cohen alleges (reportedly) that he was, so there couldn’t have been a meeting.”

1. In response to some aggressive challenges (#troll) on some of the statements I make in my recent @Ensia article, I thought it important to share the following points (thread)
2. Here’s the link to the article in question. ensia.com/voices/science/
3. And here’s a link to another essay I wrote a while ago that dives in deeper: conservationofchange.org/thefireweed/20…

Star Wars was painted. Almost impossible to believe that most of the epic widescreen sci-fi images in the first 3 Star Wars films were done by 3 "Matte painting" artists. These are fake sets made with plexiglass and oil paint. Even the 100s of storm troopers were painted.
Spoiler: Those epic images in the first 3 Star Wars films were hand-painted! Back then before CGI matte paintings were used. Matte paintings typically depict landscapes painted onto glass using oil, acrylics, or pastels, and are either filmed through or added in post production
Pt.3. More of those Star Wars Matte paintings, that I am reliably informed were painted on shower doors - because they were glass and the right dimensions for widescreen. Matte paintings create "the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location."

Guys, I've gotta talk about last night...

My buddy and I were out doing as we do, hitting on pretty ladies

As we walked around the bar, some weird fat chicks tried talking to us

Almost in perfect unison my friend and I say

"Not interested thanks"

All hell broke loose
I'm telling you, social media, dating apps, and the cucked generation of 'men' has given these fat chicks an overblown sense of self worth

Desperate guys still hit on them, which is pathetic

So, when we immediately shut them down they completely lost their minds
One of em screeched like a banshee at my friend

"Oh you guys don't like having fun?!"

My friend replied-

"Oh I like having fun, just not with you"

It was at this point that wildebeest#1 throws a punch at my friend

Obviously her short stubby arms aren't long enough to connect
