ah sorry! let's hope I don't get a violation for this. If I do, I'm blaming you!

Man, some of you are tiresome. And ignorant. And a waste of time.
Please explain to me - in English, not Gibberish, which part of those Tweets was actually unclear, and/or written in Gibberish or Swahili.
I get tips regularly. Most of it from people who think I'm dumb enough to just post something without at least doing the research, getting corroboration from sources etc. I just happened to be sent a massive info dump, complete with files, folders etc.
The last time something like that happen - though that one pales in comparison to this recent dump - was the Dennison post on Facebook. I shared it in a blog, then had to take it down when he reached out to let me know that it wasn't public. ofc by that time, it was already making the media rounds. I pulled it anyway.
So...
Yes - I can mention some of the stuff sent to me, and share it in an upcoming blog. I neither said which blog, nor when such a blog would even be published.
No - I cannnot mention some of the stuff sent to me, nor share it in an upcoming blog; without it being thoroughly vetted and cleared by various legal entities familiar with that sort of thing. Especially since some of that material probably belongs in the hands of law enforcement, not some guy's blog.
In fact, prior to that dump, and the CitizenCon2016 disaster, I had two blogs in the works. One "Star Citizen - The Think Tank" about the lead/primary devs at all four studios; and the other "Star Citizen - Year Five" about where we are a year later (in the same vein as my "Star Citizen - Year Four" blog from last Nov).
I had NO plans to write a blog about CitizenCon.
However, following the show, I was going to do a scoop article, similar to the one I did for GamesCom2016.
The disaster (depending on who you ask) that was CitizenCon, all of which played out live in my Twitch channel, prompted me to write another blog about the implications of this event, and which I will publish at some point this week.
The notion that my sole purpose is to "tear down and/or destroy Star Citizen", is unfounded bull . Sure, I am about the project, and the fact that an entire company and some their anti-social nut job "fans"decided that vilifying me was a very sensible thing to do. But at the same time, I have to be responsible enough to know that some things are very destructive; and regardless of merit - or the lolz - should be subject to much thought. I'm not in this for the lolz. I never was. Anyone thinking that, simply hasn't been paying attention.
Yes, most of us DO want to see CIG/RSI in a legal setting so that the backers (at least those who care enough) can get accountability for the project and the money. I have NO doubt in my mind that it will happen. It's only a matter of time. However, at the same time, getting mired in legal action over peripheral bull , regardless of how long it takes to get around to the core (money) Star Citizen matter, is a waste of my time. Not to mention a waste of legal fees; insurance or not.
Finally, let me just cut and paste what I wrote yesterday on my Discord channel:

I has a sad.
I wish I were a notable industry figure Mind you - the industry I'm in, you'll only ever notice what I do if things go so absolutely Total Inability To Support Usual Performance - in which case you won't see anything anyway - so there's nothing to note
Buy a Polaris!

Noted.
You happy?
You noted a non-noteworthy microgigglelulz like me?
My barely adequate psychic defenses are crumbling!
You'll boost my ego to such a degree that I'll claim to invent the first FPS, the first 3d engine, the first computer synthesised speech, the first multi-loader, the first procedural-generation, the first adaptive music, the first multi-ending, or the very first moving body-part avatar in the history of gaming
Buy a Polaris!
Which reminds me - whatever happened to that Mr "Those Elite Dangerous children wish they had a game to play - Star Citizen is going to stomp them back to kindergarten" Person circa 2013?

I pity the guy, you could see he was overly nervous and that a lot of work went into it. It would be shame if it all went down the drain.
He was also French (Canadian) and english being a second language is harder to be as animated as if he was speaking French.
Plus I mean 25mins is just too long...almost as long as then"gameplay" demo itself.
I've been working on "The Ace of Slaves" for a bit now, but I simply don't have the talent for the guitar bits
Or talent for the vocals.
Or talent for the percussion.
Or talent for the mix.
But the bass is worthy of non-refactoring

When was the last time you flew in the PU? I believe some of the basic bindings were changed. Took a bit of getting used to, but I think you press enter or the use button once you've selected a destination.
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/...tlight/4535-24-Quick-Start-Guide-Star-Citizen
You press B first and pointed to a destination then to start quantum drive press F!!!
Can you simply not change the key binding?
...or is this something CR is yet to invent?
Time for a little glossary:
- Sort Of™: "I'm not quite sure I know what I'm talking about but I assume you know even less"
- The Vision®: blurry inconsistent mess of fidelity (see definition below) brainstormed live on show
- Never been done before: reinventing the wheel by making it square, but filled with fidelity (see definition below)
- Refactoring: we just invented the circle, so we trashed the "never been done before"
- Fidelity: ridiculously detailed patchwork of ripped off influences
- Core gameplay: something to shoehorn one day at a later date
- Foundations: what?
- Development: a troubled nonlinear mess of fluid that started at an everchanging date

@Asp Explorer
Love the Idris song, and "Total Inability To Support Usual Performance" - can't rep you again at the moment so +100

Well I'm not in Asp's League (of gentlemen), but here is a short homage to Bon Jovi:
Johnny used to work on the code
Backers start to bite, he's nowhere to hide,
he's done... so done
Croberts dreams of filming all day
He waves both his hands and says
"Lenslock it's okay... some day"
We've got to hold on to what we've got
The Backers keep on paying if we make it or not
We got some assets and that's enough for us
We'll sell an Idris
Whoa we're 5 years in
Whoa pipelines in the bin
Give me cash and we'll make it I swear,
Whoa monies from thin air...
(added missing hook into chorus)

I'd said it in an earlier post but his posting recently on twitter all indicated that he had significant and worthy things to report in his blog. Instead he releases a rant about the crapness of the citCON presentation which is pretty much common news to anyone with any connection or interest in SC. There was nothing new there but a rehash of much of the old stuff alongside this report on the citCON event.
I think he got a bit shirty with me jokingly suggesting that in his blog he was like Roberts....promise much deliver little. it was a joke Derek!
In all seriousness though he needs new material and if he's going intimate this in his prior communications on twitter then he ought to follow up with it. Maybe it's a "legal" thing and he couldn't print or something.

A cool down could be a good thing - I think sometimes we end up getting 'full bore' when it's not really warranted here as some kind of collateral damage. There are misunderstandings and unnecessary flame ups when people are over excited.
This is Elite's forum though, nice calm game mostly with occasional and meaningful contact, that's how we like it

I wondered why my last reply to him this morning dissappeared off the forum - I guessed some moderation had happened so just left it at that.
