I know what everyone is thinking....what this thread needs is a crossover with the Gamergate Universe. Brianna Wu or Ryan Archer? You decide! It's not TRACING - it's INKING!

Imagine the biggest car pileup ever. Now imagine that pileup lasted for years and years in real time, and you could watch it all happen from a safe distance, and comment on the expensive cars being wrecked and lives being ruined, while people involved seem to be unable to stop driving their cars directly into the ever expanding tangle of wreckage, some people even get out their car, get in a new car, and drive it straight into the mountain of ruin on purpose, beliving it's the right choice. That's Star Citizen.

there's so much to make fun of about CIG and they keep doing nearly everything wrong - the further along this gets, the worse their project gets. so it keeps escalating. we're in a relatively dead patch at the moment, but sure enough, there'll be more videos over the next seven days. also it is fun to post, posting is fun

G0RF posted:Isn't that one of the Wing Commander anniversary videos where Ben plays and Chris stops by at some point? Sometime semi-recently? I didn't watch it but it was similarly describes by others who did. Apparently the livestream where they play wing commander isn't the right one and it was a video of them opening up wing commander stuff in "chris's fancy office thats supposed to make you think he's rich". There are some primo catte jpegs in it for anyone who can find the vid she's talking about.

I've said this before, but for me the appeal isn't just that CIG keep screwing up, it's that they screw up in directions you wouldn't think possible. Deciding to base your space combat sim on an FPS engine, the CEO's wife dumping a pile of donuts in front of fat people trying to diet, Ryan Archer... there's so much insanity here. If someone makes a movie about this (and I hope to god they do), they'll probably have to tone some of it down because people who didn't see it won't believe it.

yeah that's a good point; part of the appeal is definitely that maybe if we all post the same thing in this thread, we will actually make CIG perform a crazy thing or do something. like we've effected them releasing trailers, their video output, the way they communicate ... it's hilarious. what other multi-million dollar company would do this?

It's converted from RAW, using Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw (not sure which anymore, can't remember - amounts to same, really). It's not an in-camera JPEG. No one sane shoots in-camera JPEGs.

G0RF posted:So they admit the server has a framerate, sort of headless version of the cry engine as I’ve mentioned previously. Will give them their dues I never expected that admission as most backend server engineers scratch their heads and ask “why does a server NEED a framerate or a high framerate to get client physics working?”. It’s an admission on their part but that’s not how a game server SHOULD work. It will be a tough nut for them to crack, not impossible to fix but still require some serious dedication and engineering time. If it was done correctly at the start before implementation in planning then it wouldn’t be an issue now. Are you getting into a semantic argument over 'framerate' instead of 'tickrate'? Because game servers kind of do need that stuff, and the terminology is just a bit different than other 'servers' (db, web, IRC, whatever) - though it's the same technical issue under the hood, just magnified for games. Because it sounds like while you're spot on about how it's stupid to let client-side poo poo dictate server performance - what that poster is trying to describe is pretty obvious when you look at Star Citizen combined with what I grasp on game server communication anyway, which is a constant set of 'just start spouting poo poo and then get corrected by the server'. The server is responsible for *so much poo poo* that it can't get updates back to clients in a resonable timeframe. You're connected to a server. Server goes "ok you wake up in a lovely bedroom". You input to move forward. There's two options here: you wait for network latency to send your command, and only when you hear back from the server going 'ok sure, you have moved forward' does your client update. This (isn't really done?) because at even decent latencies you'd see a quarter second delay on everything you do. So instead things get interpolated and corrected: You input to open your lovely bedroom door. Your *client* goes "ok sure we'll do that" but also sends that input to the server. The server probably goes "ok, you're opening the door, the state of the door is now open" and confirms that back to you. Your experience is seamless, but what happens when the server and you fall out of sync due to lovely physics dragging server load up? You input to move forward, server takes a two seconds to figure out the exact mass of your toe as it stubs an empty Benny's container and the velocity imparted to that container and the new vector it will be travelling upon. It goes "ok sure here's the new state of the world!"....but in that time, on the client side you've already moved forward, opened the door, and.....well poo poo, your client now reverts to the server state...which rubberbands you backwards at best, or traps you in a door you just got told was closed...or whatever. If you want to see how much nerds care about game server framerates, just go look at the mass of arguments in the CS:GO community over official matchmaking servers running at 60fps instead of the 128fps most private servers use.

runsamok posted:Keep in mind that during the last sale, shortly before they crossed $100M they changed when a pledge shows up in the funding totals. It's not when the pledge is made, but rather when CIG has confirmation of payment. I don't know if they changed the fleet counter to match this behaviour. Interesting, do you have a link to this? Was it a dev post or one of their dozen worthless TV shows?
