Hey. Stop bullying the Man just because he's rich. I'm rich, making just over $10,000 pa. I'm not spending any of it on SC though.

G0RF posted:I think he's been intentionally murky there. Clearly he's in the UK and seems closely connected-- but whether he's a past or present Foundry employee, very closely connected to one, or a firmly entrenched 3rd party (vendor, contractor, etc.), he certainly conveys the impression of having real-time line of sight into the operations. Yeh, it is indeed a bit weird. By now one would imagine that EightAce should have been well identified. What with his news about trips etc it should not be very difficult to get there by elimination etc. Either EightAce is a fraud, or if he is legit then the way he is set makes it virtually impossible for the Sandinquisition to trace it and he feels really secure. Another option is that Sandi knows but EightAce has other plans and he just doesnt care.

), it's more surprising to me that mole hunts aren't underway. If he worked in LA, his head would be mounted on Sandi's wall, right above two pretend diplomas and a trophy that fans gave her to make her feel even more special than she already does (which technically isn't possible).

Toops posted:k good Hey dude, the red balls look great  but can you make them black or transparent until the player gets close?It's like the way that battlefield games make it look like you've got this vast world to play in but when you get near the edge it says "Leaving combat zone turn around or you'll be shot". You don't need to make the player aware of the limitations of the environment all the time, only when it matters (ie, they need to turn the gently caress around) - that way you get the illusion of this vast galaxy you're playing in even though it's really limited (just like Star Citizen!!) MedicineHut posted:Yeh, it is indeed a bit weird. By now one would imagine that EightAce should have been well identified.

If you look around the office and half the people are fed up enough to be bitching about it online, and you know one of them is, what do you do?

That's a great link, I'll check it out. I'm still working on the algorithm, I had logic in there that reduced the number of points at the poles, but I kind of like the way it looks with them all bunched up down there. I'm also gonna try scaling the size of the objects as they approach the poles.

Verbally abuse a suspect and fire them, have someone else close to them quit on the spot as a result and have it all leaked in advance by Derek to make them look stupid. Then in a few weeks realise that the leak isn't plugged and derp why am I bad at a job I got through nepotism?!?!?!

Samizdata posted:Welp, you pretty much nailed my Frontier idea. Except, if it's not to difficult, have them be green until someone gets close, then have them turn red. Extra feedback to NOT try running through them. Also, the four pointed star was priceless! That's a kickass idea, love it! Yeah I can just set a proximity sphere, and any boundary spheres it collides with can change the material's color. This is totally happening.

Never thought it was a scam. Just classic over-reaching from Dunning Kruger: The Movie, with a supporting cast of money-grubbing sociopaths. As always, great read. And if you're stuck in the bowels of that whaling machine, god-speed.

But as soon as I was asked about how much I spent, I knew where it was going to lead because some of you haven't progressed past the point of childish school-yard bullying. After all, who's to dictate how an adult should or should not spend his money? No, what I saw were some individuals obviously enamored with the fact I spent money on a game they disdain and decided to string them along after the personal attacks. So, do me a favor and spare me the derision of acting like a person in a position to offer life-lessons to others - it's an internet message board. I would like to be through with "childlike school-yard bullying" but it's apparent from your portrayal that I am not; I'm sincerely sorry for any harm my statements may have brought you. Only now do I realize that I have been strung along by your masterful rhetoric, forced into a corner with no other recourse than baseless attacks on you to defend my electronic honor - thereby destroying the very same. It's a harsh lesson but a fair one; verily I will think a second time before stooping to childlike bullying the next time an accomplished and successful ship owner such as yourself graces the thread with his or her presence

Hasn't he made it clear before that he's never said he's an employee (past or present) of CIG? That's just what many people have speculated. Personally I think it sounds much more like he's a close friend or relative of someone who's involved in CIG and is feeding this information to him and is okay with it being publicised so long as their name isn't directly attached to it. What I'm saying is, EightAce has an uncle who works at

Sames.. call me stupid, but my brain also balks at spending 4k on games that even do exist and definitely ones that don't or even physical items that don't. I don't care how loving awesome a game is, I'm not spending 4k on anything I have nothing to show for if the power goes out and it would not matter how much money I make or have. gently caress, I won't even spend that kind of loot on anything I can't pull my money back out of after using it for a long long time. Buy low/sell high.. lets me live beyond my technical means even if that means I only get sloppy seconds on life. Prices of poo poo in SC have always boggled my mind and set off my bullshit detector even for individual items from day 1, but seeing people proudly sandbagging jpegs like they're some loving commodity? o_____o This may sound stupid (because it is), but although I've always had one eye open but it didn't really start falling apart till after Wingman/Rob left, then Travis/Chelsea and then it turned out Dr Evil's wild allegations of Sandi and CR being married panned out to be literally 200% true... and that little lie is what ended up being the crack in the dam that widened into a gushing chasm flowing with disappoint, which finally gave way to an ocean of lols.

The best part is going to see how Chris Roberts is going to try to do whatever it takes to obfuscate what's going down in order to discredit the leak. Like when Derek said CIG's Austin offices were closing, so they decided to prove him wrong by slowly winding Austin down to a vestigal but still technically extant studio on paper.
