The difference is that one guy's spouse, in a show of good faith and solidarity to their German friends, gave a rousing performance of Deutschland Uber Alles, and the other guy is Benito Mussolini.

Probably the greatest tragedy in the Fart Shitizen saga was when a German shitizen alerted them that Sandi sang the nazi anthem before a goon could save it

I'm not focusing on whether or not the PID systems are in and working.

I'm saying it's a stupid idea to even think of using that system. In the real world you have PID controllers to compensate for real world problems. i.e. Physical things can't be perfectly modeled, so you get as close as you can and make corrections as you go.

In a game, you don't need a PID because you have control over the game.

Example: I created a PID to keep a wheel spinning at a user-settable speed regardless of load. Ideally, you would say x power @ y load = z speed, but that only works on paper. In the real world, you have to monitor the speed, and make changes on the fly to how much power you're outputting, otherwise your speed will be off. A PID controller is a constant guess and check.
In a game, you just tell the drat thing to spin however fast you want.

:cig: logic:
I want to turn left...
use look up table for this ship's ability to turn left[
calculate turn needs
simulate power distribution
simulate turning
simulate previous calculations being off (this will always happen in real world, never in simulation)
simulate minor adjustments to calculations
repeat

In short, not only was this a big engineering debt, it served literally no purpose, and no one would feel the effects, ever. Like one of those boxes with an on switch that just turns itself off.

I´m fully with you.

I also believe that cultists will not care about this at all for as long as the impact of having it represents moar fideliteh and allows them to support a claim to the BDSSE title. Which is all that this really does: Allow CIG to claim BDSSE.

The thing is I have the suspicion that the system has not been properly implemented anyways and it still cheats big time. Now, that is something cultists can understand better, if it was possible to confirm explicitly.

Will Derek's New Blog Shed New Light on Star Citizen?

June 15, 2017 - The industry is abuzz with the announcement that Derek Smart, self-proclaimed Internet Warlord and independent game developer, will be releasing a new blog about Star Citizen. "I'm very excited," said one unnamed individual we interviewed at this year's E3 convention. "Those blogs are always full of brand new information that otherwise would never see the light of day. I'm glad of it."

Derek Smart also was upbeat about his upcoming blog. "This project - as pitched - will never see the light of day. That's why I said, back in my July blog, that when the original TOS was created..." Derek continued for some time, but the reporters ran out of available memory on their recording devices.

Not everyone was pleased with the news. "This is an issue of a jealous butthurt special snowflake who just wishes he could be as cool as me," said Sandra Roberts, speaking as a lone voice amongst a crowd of otherwise professional game industry veterans, most of which were half her age. "Behind me is a chicken."

"I just came from martial arts training," she added.

Star Citizen is a non-functioning Crysis mod that is being worked on by hundreds of people in at least 4 studios located around the world. It is hoped that eventually, this mod can be used as the basis for a game of some kind.

Man, I kinda want that SA grenade collar tag now.

Funny story, he has his fishbone tag because when we were driving home from getting him we had to stop at a PetSmart in bumfuck Georgia to get him a collar and some food and poo poo, and the only tags their tag machine had were for cattes. So he got a sweet fishbone catte tag and then I was too lazy to replace it.

I'm thinking perhaps the USER folder is their garbage collecting mechanism. That would explain why they want you to empty it after each update. :shrug:
