Tank Boy Ken posted:You mentioned rounding errors making stoping hard. Did you try using doubles instead of floats to store the information? And only casting them as floats very needed. This would also net you the claim to "double precision" This is a fantastic idea, both because it's a great technical solution, AND because I cal literally say I use 64-bit physics lolol owned.

Not sure if you guys saw this. There is a StarCitizen Panel at the PCGAMER Weekender this weekend 5/6th March in the UK. I would fly over if i had the time and ask some uncomfortable questions but i can't this weekend. This could potentially be very interesting, anyone know if Croberts is currently in the UK?

This thread needs more songs. "The Wreck Of The Chris Roberts Pipe Dream" The legend lives on from Port Olisar on down To the planet that no one can land on The game, Roberts claimed, would gain glory and fame Even though he had no leg to stand on With a few million bucks and absolutely no fucks He had people start coding at random That he always lied and refunds were denied Was defended by his toxic fandom With no design docs he would build a sandbox That would give the big publishers envy No one's sure how he knew that could ever be true When the servers spend all their time empty Hiring regular Joes across four studios He and Sandi start building their nest eggs Both filling their stash with a stream of cash Brought by selling austitic men JPEGs Once the funding lost steam and was threatening his dream That's when Chris Roberts showed his true colors "gently caress PTU, now it's Squadron 42" "That's the way we'll make all our new dollars!" The patches were late and they missed every date His endeavor becoming unlawful Now making him sweat was an unforeseen threat From the Goon Army on Something Awful When crunch time came, and the code was aflame From the features half-heartedly tossed in To keep in the groove Chris then made a shrewd move And closed down the dev studio in Austin While more people left amid rampant sperg theft Some by walking out, others more formal Chris told the press in a formal address "For a game dev this turnover's normal." Nobody knows what to call a CEO Who can't make even one good decision Observers all claim they could have made the game Had they kept the original vision They could have scaled back but Chris kept talking smack While insisting his people could make it And amid all his lies the project was capsized Even huge whales no longer could take it From Chris and his chums nothing good ever comes From selling fake space ships to neckbeards Promising nerds procedural birds While Derek Smart ushers his worst fears And even when, pre-diabetic Ben Tries to calm down the crazies and wingnuts Sandi the ho walks right onto the show Just to hand him three boxes of donuts The problem was not the community rot Nor his mean harpy shrew wife who can't act It was the few who worked with Chris who really knew 'Twas his ego that doomed the whole project The legend lives on from Port Olisar on down To the planet that no one can land on The game, Roberts claimed, would gain glory and fame Even though he had no leg to stand on

Well top of my head the 4 below spring to mind but I also noticed a number of accounts with just 4 strange posts to their name always popping up with every news release are ships sale are major update drops. Its like a army of alts that you never see in the forum but appear to encourage other backers to blindly pledge and there comments are always at the top .Would not surprise me one bit if its a marketing trick , Like those wanabe Hollywood actors who pay photographers to take pictures of them when they get out of cars at events while every one else looks and thinks WTF is that https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/profile/112599/Zabulon https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/profile/269172/Thylbana https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/profile/160721/Kaedan https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/profile/comments/255572/Schooner I may well be wrong and as another poster mentions maybe I underestimate the power of a cult but I cant understand blind faith in people and projects when all the warning signs are there.

Loiosh posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo232kyTsO0&t=3m29s I don't get how the flashlight to sun analogy works. Yes there is a very real conversion of mass to energy in nuclear reactions as that's how they function but that's not the same mechanism for chemical to electrical energy works. Edit: Yea I have to be wrong. E2=p2c2 + m2c4 Closed system would include the light from the flashlight so ΔE = 0. Means ΔE2=Δp2c2 + Δm2c4 = 0 Δp2c2 = -Δm2c4. Cool stuff, never thought about it. Edit 2: Wait but now I'm dividing by 0... I'm confused again. Edit 3: I'm an idiot. I can't factor out Δc4. I'm good again xanif fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 2, 2016 |

Going mocap when he could have bought off-the-shelf mocap action data for cheap and which are already targeted for games, would have been the quicker path. But what do I know, right?
