Hellloooo new screensaver!!!

I love these "3D render of a partially lit ball" from the early days when 3D Studio was around before the "Max" suffix was a thing.

Know what's coming next? Those glass balls with refraction! Three of them next to each other; with ray traced reflections on each other on a chess board!! Can't wait!!! :ohdear:

His explanation is wrong and he's clearly just not reading the warning that Recode thing is spitting out, but at least he backed into better style for anything that isn't 25-year-old C

Edit: Him talking about passing in a "reference of the structure" because the function takes a raw pointer isn't filling me with confidence either

After he was done disabling the physics and went to get back in the (jittery) ship, the commando tried to snap to the ladder except ended up offset by about 10 feet. He paused the game pretty quickly after that :laugh:

When CoD: Infinite Warfare was built they were really just trying to make a computer version of Scrabble. The game just kind of accidentally came together. :monocle:

Nobody really knew what Windows 10 was going to be either. They just started writing stuff and whelp! What do ya know! Check out this program! They just wanted to make an ascii art penis for Twitter people but whatever the heck this thing is came out! Guess they'll just sell it!

But let's make sure that we start a subreddit to "archive" almost everything Derek Smart does so we can hold HIM accountable for saying a bad word about our favorite space game that nobody really knows the details about. Not the company that has taken in over $140+ Mil with nothing to show for it.

gently caress these people.

Because Derek has a history of deleting things from the Internet. Like his newsgroup wars have all been stricken from history (post from 1998: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic/kQTb13rvlLQ/Db2FKYsPKCkJ). Every post he's made here has been edited out and removed after 3 days of seeing the sun (check any thread). And his Twitter feed is basically empty every other day after a fresh wipe (https://mobile.twitter.com/dsmart). And he never ever quotes or copies parts of his blogging missives everywhere for everybody (check any of the above after a few posts, except the stuff from before the year 2000 because only Elite Dangerous was in production at that time).

All these things MUST be kept before Derek strikes them from the record forever! :argh:

I love it ever time you post this one. I don't give a poo poo if you are a bot at this point. Sort of an occasional reminder of what they have bottled up down there. They cannot ever deny that it happened. It is one thing to say a bad word about the BDSGE. You can poo poo right all over it. But nothing changes that it is just a video game. This is not going to cure cancer, world hunger, obesity, or make Star Citizen a game.

That's actually a renewed defense from today of the tombstone picture.

Idiots

That can be said for both the vocal backers. And the silent partners

I mean Crobberts is as stupid as everyone else if :

#1 he truly believes in himself

#2 put in his own funds to help


If he was simply in it for the cash I could understand , but I have a real deep feeling he's so inside his own rear end he helped fund with his own savings

Then again there were rumours before that the top level execs had 'loaned' cig money at ridiculous interest rates

LOL Cute. You guys still believe the player model is skinned?

The point is, what fun is it if the entire game is you stuck inside of your spaceship or moon buggy? I want a sim - yes. But I also want an MMO. It'll be nice to move around, interact, do poo poo.

After so many years of consistent failure to deliver, it's quite bizarre to read people still believe there will be a release of this epic, ever. Let alone before space ambulation appear in E:D some time next year. On top of that being "a critical feature" in a space game. <<USED>>

Walking around is always my favorite thing to do in an MMO. Screw having hundreds to thousands of places to explore. Who needs things like salvage, repair, cargo, an economy--bah those things are so over-rated. My perfect MMO needs walking around and a golf swing--in space. Coincidence that EA stopped making PGA Tour in 2015? I think not!
