The ballpit is always funny.  Anyone know who "won" the Fyrefestival hunger games? Also, did anyone there take the oppurtunity to dress up like a pirate and yell "yarr" a lot, since they are in the Bahama's, gotta make the best of a bad situation

I hope there is a Star Citizen ball pit, either in game, or at one of the cons.

If only the fyre festival targeted disabled gamers, instead of trust fund kids, they would have easily made $147m.

This is so Star Citizen. They get to explore for treasure. Celebrities are involved. Luxurious accommodations. Are we sure crobbler wasn't involved?

I don't know if Subnautica has been mentioned before around here but I've just gotten to a stopping point after about 4 days of playing it pretty hardcore. I haven't felt that immersed in a game in a long time. I really felt like I was in that world. Hell I jumped a lot when I turned around and a leviathan was staring me in the face or some other pissed off fish. I haven't even tried to boot it up with the Vive yet but I'm pretty excited to turn it on. CIG could take queues from these guys in fidelity. Seamless entering bases and giant submarines with no loading screens after it starts. Not to mention it's a totally playable game in Early Access and they have an awesome, if not overwhelming, public issue tracker. https://trello.com/b/yxoJrFgP/subnautica-development All for $20 bucks and even then it goes on sale for half off a lot.

When you play it with a vive, set an alarm or you'll end up starving to death or at least playing a lot longer than you wanted to. Some sea critters may make you jump and poop without warning, be careful.

XK posted:This Fyre Festival disaster going down right now seems like a fast forward version of Star Citizen.  This is awful, though surprisingly fitting for the thread. They never claimed to be making the Best Damned Luxury Festival Ever, I suppose, but they probably still beat Chris in the people-could-have-died category...

Ship-to-ship docking being removed seems like it would impair a tremendous amount of Citizens' imagined scenarios. If that's removed, then you basically have the final version of boarding already in game, and it is unworkable garbage.

Sabreseven posted:When you play it with a vive, set an alarm or you'll end up starving to death or at least playing a lot longer than you wanted to. Cool! Really stoked to get my VR set back up and get on this. But in relation to CIG, I know these guys aren't doing an MMO (technically neither was CIG at first) but there are a lot of good practices here. Unknown Worlds Entertainment: - Formed in 2001 and so far have released 3 games with Subnautica being the 4th when it's out of Early Access - Small indie team of 20 - Created their own code engine called Spark after playing around with Source - Created a commercial debugger for Lua called Decoda and since have released it open source - Looks like they've been working on Subnatica for about 4 years or so with 1 or 2 quarterly updates since launch in 2014 - Detailed open development in the form of that task list tracker I mentioned before. Looks like they are working directly off that site task list too. No stupid videos every week with stiff gimmicky people talking about "Dreams" and calling it development - Every thing all in the game for $20. Autistic submarine chariots not sold separately According to Steamspy they've sold about 1.4 million copies. Assuming the range of half off at $10 to $20 full price we say $15 a pop, that's over 2 million bucks. Meanwhile CIG is sitting on $150 mil and they haven't even produced anything but a flaming pile of poo poo with the corn kernels and stink sold separately. I don't know much else about these guys over at UWE but clearly they have their poo poo together and a plan

Just to derail the Fyre derail and note that The Titanic is my new favorite poster ITT. Those two posts would, without a doubt, make The Wulge cry and go for, at the very least, another round of shock therapy (no doxxing was committed for this - he literally admitted it on reddit).

Nearly breaking your hands while in VR, Giant Bomb's Vinny smashes the poo poo out of his hands: https://streamable.com/513w This is one of the reasons why cockpit games work so much better in VR than most other types of games. Wandering around and flailing your limbs while blind is just a bad idea. XK fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Virtual Captain posted:I too would be interested in this to support "Ship-to-ship auto-docking" being changed to Broken on the tracker. The most I can find about it is a couple old threads from 2016 regarding the removal of the "cutting collar" from the Cutlass. It seems like their initial plan of ships being able to forcibly dock/breach holes in other ships is out. It seems like reddit is of the belief that docking collars themselves will still be in but will only work on ships of the same manufacturer? Here's come quotes from Josh Coons from the Cutlass Rework Thread quote:We're losing the docking collar (in favor of cargo real estate) because Pirates don't ask for permission to dock. quote:We're developing Tractor Beam tech for the Caterpillar, so should serve the Cutlass too. quote:I don't know if we can do a docking collar on a dynamic object with animations. I think our code would take a dump. It's an interesting concept. quote:I totally respect your concerns about rescue and I think it's a fair point. My role is to implement the designs, and I don't have greater insight into the reasoning behind the ports removal. Though for rescue I can think of some imaginative solutions, like some stasis equipment to transport the injured. So I would say at best docking ports are in limbo and may not be possible, which is extra funny because Hellion already did it.

I feel bad for the people who blew 10 grand to get scammed over a music festival. I also don't feel bad for the people who blew 10 grand over a music festival when I remember I took out a 3 year loan to fix my collapsed sewer line for $5,500.

I personally have stripped the screws in my monitor arm when I hit the screen while throwing a grenade in Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. My brother-in-law cracked a controller when he was ninja swinging at some zombies with a katana. And my wife stubbed her toe when she tried to kick a virtual box out of the way in Job Simulator because she's a clean freak and wanted it out of the line of sight in game. So I'd say not many.. why you ask...

I don't know exactly how that will work, but it kind of seems like a necessity.

They sort of have that now with a camera you can switch to in the HUD and a artificial boundary that pops up to alert you that you're close to a wall. My mistake was not allowing for flailing arms (e:) and feet. I have since made the area much larger to go nuts in. DarkRefreshment fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Apr 28, 2017 |

It could definitely use something like that, being curled up in a ball in dizzying agony praying my balls weren't twisted or squashed while a sandshark nibbled my head to the tune of wifey pissing herself laughing at me was definitely a low point for my VR playing
