^^^^^^ He's so toasty he's the Toastman.Fat Shat Sings posted:Actually this is why I figured they use the numbering convention they do. Since these patches should be like 0.0026 or 0.026 or 0.2.6 or something. I'd thought of this but it seemed so obvious that I just assumed it had already been discussed. You can play fun comparison games with it: for instance, at version 2.6 Linux was already running half the internet, or qemu 2.6 came out earlier this year and could already simulate entire computers, you get the idea. In computer jargon anything over 1.0 is a stable, functional product so it's no wonder CIG/RSI has to lie about it.

Foo Diddley posted:Yeah this. Also because you seem like an okay guy apart from this one thing for the first year or two a lot of people felt bad about the scamming of sadbrains people. Until the scam stretched out so long. It kind of makes us look callous now but when you have four years to watch an idiot furry octuple down on the dream while writing a new bible on being an idiot you kind of start being harsh and not liking these guys. At least MoMA keeps it contained to this thread for the most part and is mostly alright despite causing the conflict where people use reason to try and reason him out of a faith based viewpoint.

Tippis posted:Seems reasonable enough. It's just that the end result, at least from the outside, is that you all look like a bunch of paranoid violence-fetichistic nutcases — in large part because of that obviously emotional response… The last time I spoke with a guy about introducing gun control in the States he made a good point. Even if you could convince everybody you'd still have the problem of actually introducing it. Say you make it so that most people can't legally possess a gun, you've then got the problem that there are millions of the things out there. All the good, law-abiding people hand over their guns, all the criminals hang onto theirs. Straight away criminals will be robbing people at gunpoint and the masses will want their guns back. You still don't solve the problem of having shootings. You still have to have police who will assume anyone they're dealing with has a gun. It would be really hard to do even from a practical point of view and would likely take decades to get straightened out, decades where you would need to keep the public sentiment on the gun-control side of the argument.

ewe2 posted:^^^^^^ He's so toasty he's the Toastman. 0.2.6 would be immensely more accurate than 2.6. I think this prototype should get a letter designation or a single word designation until they prove they are capable of making an actual alpha release that could be classified as 0.0.1. THREE POINT OHHH Edit: I got a copy of unreal engine. I just modded a default FPS environment to make everyone look like Goku, it's 10x better than Star Marine. This is my 2.0 release, give me $140,000,000. 3.0 comes with vegeta. There will never be a 4.0. Fat Shat Sings fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Dec 21, 2016 |

On the subject of Early Access: Factorio. It's one of two games I've ever bought into in an incomplete state. The other was kickstarting Planetary Annihilation, which was meh, but $20 buck for a mediocre game is hardly a huge issue. Factorio is a fairly niche, indie little game about building factories. The trailer demonstrates it better than I can explain, but basically you start crashlanded on a planet with nothing but a pick and the ability to hand-craft items, and end up with a monster factory spanning hundreds of screens that lets you automate stripmining a continent and can replicate itself using an army of thousands of swarming helper robots. I first started playing Factorio back in early 2014. It is the anti-star citizen. From earlier than I started playing it, the game existed as a vertical slice, with all systems intact. The endgame goal of creating a rocket launchpad (though without the ability to actually launch the rocket) was in place, and you could effectively play a full game of it from start to finish. They then began developing outwards off of that slice, and adding additional systems and technologies that gave the game greater complexity and enhanced the game loop. They initially had extensive use of placeholder graphics until the systems underlying them were polished, and then upgraded them to quite nice, albeit pixel-based polished graphics. They make excellent use of Dev Blogs.  Seriously, look at this if nothing else. It shows that they have a plan, outlines how they are going to try to implement it, and also shows that they have given strong consideration to what might go wrong and how to mediate that. And this is one of 159 weekly blogs.Actually, check out this one as well. Notice how it's explaining technical concepts and advising how they're approaching them, and not just saying "We hope to have optimization in the game, it's going to be really, really cooooooool"? They have a well-thought-out plan for development. Recently, for their 0.13.x updates they devoted all development to multiplayer. That's it. Just adding multiplayer to the game. Adding additional features or altering existing systems was put on absolute hold, until absolutely everything else was stable and multiplayer was in the game and running at releasable levels of performance. With ~255 players able to connect at once. Development of this game is taking a while, but even in the last couple of years as it's been essentially feature-complete I've had a blast playing it, and it has literally never crashed on me. Granted, this is a tiny indie niche game that is never going to make huge waves (though it's received an overwhelmingly positive reception on Steam so far), but after following the CIG shitshow for so long it's amazing to contrast the different approaches.

(It is, but that's pretty sad for the most open development ever.) Do better CIG! It is funny how they tout that as open development. The truth is the most open would be camelot unchained and Mark Jacobs. He gives the good and the bad no sugar coating and is real and honest. One of the few devs I can say I actually believe and trust. Honourable mention to Dan at Warhorse as well - Although he isnt as communicative as Mark is but the same as things go - good, bad and ugly. He had to cut features for the launch and said sorry we had to make the call and I did but you can expect Y going forward. There are great studios out there then there is CIG and poo poo Roberts the bald Pirate. Just my 2c or refund or what the gently caress ever.

Oh. I'm out of posts. To celebrate I present the actual, not fooling, origin of Disco Lando. This video is older than some of the posters in this thread! https://handcraftedfilms.com/1998/08/22/godzilla-versus-disco-lando/ Note: this is the weakest of his early work. Kung Fu Kenobi's big adventure is a lot better. Also arfjason your trolling shows flashes of brilliance, but you gotta be willing to put in the work and stick the landing! Call your mom, she's disappointed in you.
