Amazon is not super-competent internally, at least not on the AWS side, and looking at some of the fulfillment centers...The S3 outage was pretty drat amazing because of the reach that the mandated tool they fat-fingered. They're learning pretty much as they go; beware that signing bonus is golden handcuffs... On Goony obsessional news; Fuzzy is apparently changing his plea at 3:15pm Fairbanks time. Future hearings have been vacated, so they might have reached an agreement on how deep his poo poo will be. Your court reporter will be F5'ing sporadically over the next few days.

TheAgent posted:I'm pretty sure that $50m CIG got back last year was from amazon. I know derek continued to say "no no no amazon isnt partnered with them" but its looking to me like amazon is pretty much their publisher AFAIK they are neither an investor, nor a publisher in Star Citizen. Amazon is a public company. They are required to disclose any such deals either in SEC filings (it doesn't exist) or investor briefings. It's the law. Just ask MoMa. I am an AMZ investor. I would know. And I don't know where you got that they "received $50m" last year. Whoever told you that, is probably feeding you horseshit as usual. That aside from the fact that with $50m and the $36m they received in 2016, no way they would be pulling all the recent desperate tactics to raise money in 2017.

I told you he was going to take a plea bargain. There is no way he was going to stand up through each and every single charge in a jury trial and come out of this clean. gently caress that guy and I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his days.

Sappo569 posted:I've been gaming since the late 80s and have never heard of any of those games aside from wing commander Interesting bit from Wikipedia about Stryker's Run: quote:The game was originally developed and coded by Chris Roberts and Philip Meller on the BBC Micro with additional graphics by Nick Elms.[1] As the game pushed the limits of the hardware, certain elements had to be left out of the standard version and Stryker's Run became the first game released to include an enhanced version for the newly released BBC Master. As well as extra in-game graphics, this version adds a title screen with music, a high score table, on-screen instructions and user-defined controls.

Morningwoodpecker posted:The amount of time it loving hurts for can exceed a month. The amount of time any cracked — as opposed to outright broken — bone hurts can exceed any reasonable time. It turns out that the tiny little bone inside your hand that connects to your pinky is used extensively to balance out the rest of the hand. Have a fun time doing anything more complicated than sucking your thumb for a month when that one gets banged up.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, a guy who identifies himself as being an old dude that used to love space sims has a name that heavily implies he's an old Elite 84 grognard, but the simplest answer is he's probably Derek Smart because he is concerned about Star Citizen. Allow me to tell you why in 10,000 words or more. Seriously, at this point how have they not figured out that none of us have the energy to do something like that?

Daztek posted:https://gfycat.com/EnergeticPalatableBlackfootedferret I love how the station ring physics just keep getting more broken as time goes on. First they were reversing and having the decals desync, then they started wobbling into a wrong access and now they've left the station entirely. It really hints at how broken the code for SC is, and how it's getting worse as time goes on.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

I have a .txt of some of my favorite posts, this is not a great storage mechanism however as I think I already lost the earliest version.ManofManyAliases posted:-We're going to see 3.0 release much earlier than "mid-year." Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Years ago we had a lot of fun theory-crafting how CIG was going to handle instances and players. This was before they went fully open and demonstrated that they could barely handle 20 people in an entire solar system, and instead every encounter would be an instance like a match in Arena Commander. Was an instance going to be player-limited or ship-limited? If it was ship limited, did a player going EVA "count" as a ship? What about NPCs? How would CIG balance the load inside an instance so that one team didn't simply fill it up and the other side would be outnumbered? Unfortunately none of these questions were ever answered, and given CIG's inability to deliver netcode I suspect they never will. The difference between a ship and player-limited instance was pretty critical. If the instance was player limited then it made sense to have everyone be in small ships to maximize individual firepower. On the other hand if the instance was ship limited then throwing a large number of bigger ships with more players made sense. My favorite bit of theory crafting was that, if CIG limited instances by the number of ships, then the easiest way to crash the server would be to take a transport ship full of players and dump them into space.

I suppose random murder is worse than sex crimes, but it really does reorient your view on things to have something like that thrown in your lap. Served on a domestic battery case. No one cared. Served on a murder trial for a 16 year old kid that was stabbed when a party went bad. Knife went into his spine and chipped bone his spinal column. Anyways, before juror selection they read out the charges. Not much happened in the courtroom. Got picked to serve on another one, Fuzzy style charges. When the charges were read there were loud gasps in the courtroom. I got called to the box, but got kicked. Probably because I had kids and the defense didn't like how I answered questions. I could tell the prosecution really didn't have physical evidence based on their questioning. (After a few days, he was found not guilty) Not sure what I'm adding to your moral dilemma, but just to give my two cents what the court of public opinion is.

Oh, lord. OK, for anyone who stumbles on this thread and the above statement, here's a rundown of what happened before the OP was removed. TLDR: Based on available evidence, chances of this being an actual random person interested in SC are very low, chances of it being a random Goon trying to entertain himself or a specific individual named Derek Smart are very, very high. OSC makes his post, a person who says they've followed SC a bit but see some things they have questions about. Seems mostly innocent unless you're familiar with SC/CIG/Derek Smart/Goon history. If you are familiar with that history, there's some patterns that always emerge, things they try to harp on, recurring statements. I'll cover them and why OSC seems particularly questionable.
Yeah. Having trouble with that here in reality. Chances that these things are all coincidence... Near zero. It's too many blocks that would have to fall just right to get to this point. Chances this is either DS or a cohort starting poo poo for him... extremely high. DS knew about this thread before most members of r/starcitizen did! I mean, c'mon.

If that oldschoolcommander guy is a troll he forgot the first rule of trolling.
