T'was the day before Christmas, when all through the 'verse,
Not a paid shill was typing; not even to curse.
The fluff posts were ready to publish and share,
In hopes that St Chris would release something rare!

The poo poo'zens were nestled safe in their subreds,
While visions of Idrises danced in their heads,
And Derek in Twitter and I in Discord,
Had finished recapping another years' fraud.

When out from the thread there arose such a chatter;
Tabbed over from Redtube to ask what's the matter.
Away to the Reddit I flew like a flash,
To find all the suckers there pledging more cash!

Illusions of progress had started to slow,
And it looked like next year they had nowhere to go...
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But the engine replaced, pushing dev time back years!

Egg threads, very popular in both Spain/Portugal: https://easyportugueserecipes.com/fios-de-ovos/

You can use it standalone or mix it up with other foods, including savory such as ham.

quote:

Ingredients:
12 egg yolks
1 lbs. sugar
1 cup water

Directions
1) Add the sugar and water to a large saucepan. Put in on medium heat and let it cook until it reaches a syrup consistency. Stir it occasionally.
2) Place the egg yolks into a strainer with a long tip at the end.
3) Slowly drizzle the yolks into the sugar syrup. They will cook as you pour them in.
4) When they become cooked remove them from the sugar syrup onto a strainer.
5) Repeat the process until you run out of yolks. Add extra water to the syrup if it gets too thick.
6) Separate the strands with a fork and drizzle with remaining syrup to keep the threads from getting dry.
7) Once you are done, they are ready to serve.

'Twas the night before Paarpmas, and all through the 'Verse,
Not a backer was pledging, for it just got worse

Delusions were posted on Reddit with care,
In hopes that St. Christopher soon would be there;

Citizens were nestled all snug in their beds,
While autism chariots danced in their heads

Titanic with her iceberg, and I with by bunnes,
Had just finished a season of Friends reruns

When out of the blue there came a new Tweet,
I sprang from the chair to the Warlord's drumbeat

Away to the forums I flew like a flash,
I refreshed the thread and stroked my moustache

The goons were elated, while MoMA was stunned,
Chris Roberts had finally run out of funds

When, what to my wondering eyes do I see,
The Warlord himself is now claiming a V

A "washed-up developer", so salty and tart,
I knew in a moment it must be D_Smart.

More wordy than EULAs his topics they came
He tweeted, and posted, and blogged them by name:

"Now! Archer, now! Legal, now! Lesnick and Lando,
"On! Sandi, on! Zendesk, you're snowflakes, commandos!

"To the federal building! To the town city hall!
"Now litigate! Litigate! Litigate all!"

As interns that 'fore the bankruptcy will flee,
When parted with paycheck, sans college degree;

So up to the jailhouse the p'licemen they flew,
With the car full of staff - and St. Christopher too:

And then in a minute, I heard in the thread
The anger of backers was fin'lly widespread

As I refreshed the thread, and was getting right sauced
A new blog from D_Smart, so smug and aroused

He typed in all caps, was having a cow
His sources were leaking: "Apocolypse, Now!"

A bundle of links were slapp'd right at the end,
His first July blog post, "Read it!" he contends

His eyes - how they twinkled! His hairline, how thinning,
Old Greybeard had won; on his chair he sat spinning

His poo poo-eating grin displayed a bright glow,
And his message was thus: "loving told you so!"

"They switched the game's engine", he wrote with a curse.
"There is always more, and it is always worse!"

The crossed arms of colbert he showed with an air
He cackled with glee, and leaned back in his chair

His post had that rhythm, that rhyme, and that station
"Forty-two is eighty-sixed, sweet vindication!"

But I saw him exclaim, when this fire he set alight
"Happy Paarpmas to all, and to all a good night!"

They've taken inspiration from CIG's version numbering? It seems 4 was almost completely skipped, like with MS and Windows 8 -> 10. Did they have a 4 release?

So, is CryEngine 5 the same as 3.8.1? I'm just looking for a solid answer, because the version numbering claims I'm seeing seem a little shady, but I keep seeing 3.8x as being where Lumberyard branched.

Gwaihir posted:

Not quiiite, I was even wrong about that bit. 3.8 is like in limbo. "Cryengine 4" is the 3.6.x line (Crytek did decide to change their branding back in 2013, decoupling the internal version numbers from what they called the engine- 3.6.x is called "Cryengine 4", for example), and then 3.8 was released as a major update at the same time as the 5.0 line, but never given it's own public name. But both of them have many overlapping features (OpenGL support, VR support), and there were 3.8.x updates released after the first 5.0/"Cryengine 5" release.

I guess the most important feature to be in 5.0 that is not in earlier lines is Direct X 12 support.

Gwaihir posted:

5.0 is definitely the line where DX12 went in, but 3.8.1-3.8.6 were developed and released at the same time/after 5.0 as part of Crytek's ongoing "Engine as a service" releases on Steam.

So I guess I'd say they're (3.8.x) definitely not part of what crytek formally advertises as "Cryengine 5" but they're also the release immediately after "Cryengine 4." So They are actually the 5th iteration of cryengine. Just not what is advertised as "Cryengine 5."

Did they seriously push out a big new patch on Christmas Eve

Sure is a nice working environment at CIG

Well, y'know that real history has never been the most favoured subject of Shitizens. If they can re-write it, they'll try.

I'm now even more confused about CryEngine versions than I was before.

Apparently Lumberyard also derives from Cryengine 3:

Chin posted:

Wasn't there a Sean Tracy interview earlier in the year where he said Star Engine is like 50% new code or something to that effect?

Granted he's 100% full of poo poo and the cultists have repeatedly established that they're too dim to be bothered by blatant contradictions coming from the mouths of their prophets.
