Nicholas posted:Oddly enough, RSI's own terms of service references "Robert Space Industries". A company name, which to my knowledge isn't on the list of shell corps. So either it's purposful misdirection or they don't even have the company name right in their iron clad TOS. Interesting. So since the TOS is between the user and Robert Space Industries and you make a purchase from Roberts Space Industries, the ToS would be unenforceable on its face - since Robert Space Industries does not exist, and therefore it cannot have any subsidiaries.

Intel's "sort of SSD" is wildly expensive, has performance numbers that were massaged by marketing, and uses 18 watts. lol Perfect fit for Star Citizen. For gently caress's sake, my mechanical drives use half or less power, and store an order of magnitude more.

If someone somehow convinced Chris to allow a competent CGI studio to fake them some Hamill-centric SQ42 nonsense I could easily see that being enough to keep the cultists excited and distracted.

 Hovering around zero issues and are having daily go/no-go meetings, but they can't release it because it is too unstable. They were so close, but now they are back up to five issues. What new excuses will they come up with next week? "You have five or six people and it crashes every five or ten minutes... and if 3.0 crashes is relative or proportional to the amount of people playing there will be a lot more, you'll be having crashes every minute or two, because you are going to fill up these instances pretty quickly... They'll download it, then they'll be getting kicked out to the desktop" - Chris Roberts

Next week's meeting will go "but I thought you were ready for launch last week?"

My favorite part about all these cons is CIG showing off the work that other companies were paid to do. Are you excited for Star Marine? Look at the work Illfonic has done. Facemapping on your avatar? Sure, we bought the rights for some off the shelf software and are announcing it (and a SC licensed camera) at Gamescom as our big achievement. 3.0 delayed? Well check out the hard drives these guys are making for us for money.

Star Citizen : A Time Limited Demo. Funnily enough its true, the 5 year long alpha hasn't produced a game. It's an overly expensive tech demo, which you can play for a short amount of time before crashing. Please buy an X1 to continue. Irony at its best.

peter gabriel posted:I saw a review by a nerd who said the same thing, inside sim racing I think it was, I am really intrigued and would like to see if one works in Elite etc too It doesn't support Elite Dangerous, since Elite Dangerous offers no telemetry data for outside apps at the moment, so the seat mover driver has nowhere to get the info from on what to simulate. Racing sims offer either shared memory hooks for this, or somekind of either UDP or TCP protocoll/server or both. What the seat mover always offers is to simply bind it to controller axis, so for Elite Dangerous, I simply bound it to the Joystick axis. You can configure speed of movement, how fast it should accelerate and deccelerate and much much more (the "Extended Config" menu is actually nuts...). So I still have fun with E:D, dogfights or fast landing maneuvers rattle me quite around, but what this solution can't offer is picking up continued movement, like you disengage flight assist and move your joystick to get the ship into a wild spin. As soon as the recenter the joystick, the platform will also, allthough your ship is still spinning like crazy. That's a small immersion breaker, of course, but it still is drat fun, especially during dogfights when you go like "stand still you fucker, I'm already sick from the last maneuver  ". A deal breaker to me would of course be when Star Citizen won't offer support.

The SSDs will ship with two versions, the 280GHb and 480Gb models and it’s apparently optimised for Star Citizen which sounds like a load of marketing speak purely for the purpose of this event reveal. https://www.pcinvasion.com/leaked-reveal-star-citizen-intel-optane-ssds Heh On a related note, SSDs don't actually improve game performance do they?

They improve load times only. Whether this is a factor depends on the game both loading more than once per session and taking more than a few seconds to load in the first place. I notice they help a lot with something like Warframe but in that game, it just means you get to watch other peoples load bars.

They actually also comes with a new networking driver for intel based NICs. It virtualizes the socket layers and actually only opens two sockets for the patcher while pretending to open 63282, so it won't bring down your network.
