SatEMike Review - Review?

[Mudhawk]

So...
Instead of doing a review on the Anvil Paladin SaltEMike now reviews Montoyas first look at the Anvil Paladin. And adding some Salt. Go figure.
Enjoy.
Or don't.
Bacause honestly, I did not....

 

[Montoya]

Nothing salty here, Mike pretends to be salty, but his entire livelihood is betting that Star Citizen succeeds.

He has more on the line that most people here!

 

[BUTUZ]

I havent watched him for years he was a shit watch even when he did his own content but now he just lazily comments over everyone elses hard work he can go f off.

 

[Ayeteeone]

His content isn't worth the time it takes to write this response. But out of respect for the OP @Mudhawk I'll put in that @BUTUZ called it perfectly. No room in life for intentional jackasses.

 

[Montoya]

I dont see a problem with his content, it takes all kinds and he has his niche. End of the day he is a huge Star Citizen fan and thats good enough for me.

I’m a glass half full personality where Mike is the polar opposite. Sometimes he’s a bit too salty for my taste, so I’ll just change the channel, but he often times has a good perspective to share. I’ve come to appreciate his channel more over the years.

i picked myself up a Paladin as I thought it is cool as shit. Disclaimer: flying a cool ass ship won’t make me a superstar in the verse. Darn it!

But, I’m personally not a big fan of the interior because I don’t think that it’s a great use of space. Maybe it will grow on me but hallways everywhere just soak up space. Stairs going up and down over and over make me think of a carny ride. Why is ~1/4 of the space allocated to living quarters on a gunboat? I wish they could squeeze all 4 bunks into one bedroom space. Then they could move the suit locker and armory to the other unused bedroom space. Doing so would allow for a small cargo hull in the stern of the ship..

I did notice that the Pallidin was about the same price as the Scorpius. Although vastly different ships they do share some clear similarities. Consequently, I’m strongly thinking of melting my beloved Scorpius and just earn it in game as the Palidin gives more bang for the buck.

Thats more of a business decision for a live streamer. If you just say nice things about Star Citizen, half the audience loves you for your passion.

If you say bad things, the other half praises you for being based.

If you do both, you capture the majority of the target audience.

"He ( @Montoya ) missed the very obvious thing. We're at the stage in Star Citizen's development where we don't know whether or not the ships that we're flying are even gonna come out when the games come out."

Now I realize that's a thing with free speech. You say things that sound good in your head but do not make to much sense once they are out there.
I also assume from the context that he's thinking about concept ships as such.
If you say he's got valid thinks to say about this game ever once in a green moon I'm not gonna debate that either.
But this kind of half baked, and dare I say lazy, content is now work for either the one or the other half of the audience.
Point in favour though, it does advertise Montoya's vids.
So there, glass still 10% full.

and yet SM was accurate. JCrewe was asked about several ships where he said they would come out after 1.0. On the other hand, they have a significant number of ships that are waiting in 'concept' state that we still don't know if it's going to be before or after 1.0....or even what the timeframe for 1.0 will be (I am thinking 5 years)

All of that i get and consider obvious.
But the way i understand his comment is that "the ships that we're flying", the ones playable in 3.24.3, are not guaranteed to make it to 1.0.
That did cause some confusion on my end.
And I can't imagine that's what he wanted to get at either. So I'm assuming he misspoke due to the nature of the rather improvised sounding content.
I got to admit that I do not expect to get my hands on all the promised ships come 1.0.
Not to mention all them additional ships they will promise until that far off day.
And dude, do I hope that it's only 5 years until then...

Nah I didn't miss anything.

When you do a react, you have the advantage of picking apart every small comment the person makes to make yourself seem like you are more of an authority, or you know better. Its just playing to your audience.

I can easily do the same thing, but I just can't be bothered.

 

[BUTUZ]

I can easily do the same thing, but I just can't be bothered.

And also because you have style, talent, good looks, and the moral fibre to not make an easy living by ripping off everyone elses hard work?

 

[Talonsbane]

I grew tired of his salty gimmick LONG ago. At this point, the only vids of his that I'm willing to watch is when he's having to eat a massive load of crow from CIG proving his salty BS wrong to the degree that he loses all credibility if he doesn't own up to his BS.

Yo, sir, are a man of character and a shining ray of unextinguishable sunlight for us sorry lot squinting in the darkness that is the Internets!

I will do a react to your comments!

Who is this guy? Never heard of this "Sodium Mikey". And who deemed him worthy of being able to even associate his unblessed self with our Glorious Leaders teachings? These Words of Wisdom are scripture and holy.

 

[Mudhawk]

Who is this guy?

A poor sheep lost in the swampland that is the monetarization of content.
Once pure white the color of his wool started changing as the baiting of clicks is not always clean work.
He's by far not tainted black completely and sometimes his frenzied digging uncovers a grain of truth.
Or so i've heard.
I'd have to watch his stream to write in more detail and.. naaaaaw.. don't wanna...

I've joked to some CIG reps, that when SC goes 1.0 official launch, they should change the salt containers in the bars in the Verse to look like microphones & give it the Cry-Smart brand, to give acknowledgement of conquering those that have been the most salty towards the project through the years.
