Good god, how else do you get "outlaw" status in the 'verse? Next you'll tell me if I illegally park my space chariot I could become an outlaw.

The "dinosaurs" in Jurassic Park are specifically not dinosaurs, but actually new hybrid species made from modern reptile DNA and preserved dinosaur DNA. It is perfectly reasonable for them to not have feathers because they aren't actually dinosaurs.

New leak from the guy who leaked the other stuff. Looks like he's successfully removed the watermark with a neato filter as well as blurred the names. This leads me to believe we should expect more/longer leaks in the future.

These Rickrolls have gone too far. Quit loving around with art school CGI wannabe David Lynch absurdism machinima and start linking us 3.0 SC content.

Don't want to be probated again for anime, but this will be SC's version of Kenshiro's death palm thing.

"I have just arrived on my space bike and sprayed you with lazers, now while the lag catches up I count down to when you will die!"
*dies himself instead, because space bike glitched through him as he was riding it, nuking his health*

Lag has existed since '2 weeks' ago and cannot be mastered by scum like you.

Nobody will probate you for classic anime. In 200 years, when everybody has forgotten about SC (except cyborg Derek) people will still be ATATATATATATATATATATAing themselves.

The starmap, it is so nauseating how it overlays your view and has poo poo just going off the edge of your screen. Classic example of "make this work this way because it sounds cool" and not "make this work this way because its ergonomic and functions well".

i'm the screen real estate that's lost to a lovely-looking helmet overlay that wouldn't be that bright or even noticeable because your brain filters that poo poo out

I love how the player turns his head at about 48 seconds, and the helmet overlay stays where it was. Giving the player a fantastic extra view of... more helmet.

In Chris' first space game*(**) 90% of your view of space was obscured, and he sees no reason to change that now.

Derek, baby: you originally said 3.0 didn't exist, couldn't exist. And yet, it's out to a testing group and soon the whole pop. Whyyyyyy should anyone believe any of the drivel that you spew? You sure are worked up with all the "poo poo stains" and "loving projects" and "loving deads" that you're throwing around.

Blink twice if CR has you by the nuts.

Let me just post the whole thing for you again. You know, in case you missed it the first time. I even highlighted key parts for you.

You're welcome.

ps: Why am I worked up? You think I'm worked up? Oh that's so cute. You guys would rather I wasn't saying anything because deep down inside where it hurts, you all know that I've been 100% right since the start.

ManofManyAliases posted:
It's about who submits the most bug reports and confirmations in the issue council. But, believe what you want to.

So going by the list of Evocati, and this guy, GameKrap being in it, and only having 7 issue council submissions (latest is 15476, most recent 43364) to date, that's a pretty low bar. By that bar, judging by the 3000+ bugs currently in the list, of which the average backer has reported more than 7, there should be more people in Evocati.

You lying poo poo stain.

It's bad enough that a bunch of gamers gave CIG $160M to make 2 games. They turn around and lock builds behind an NDA and accessible to only a select few. Yeah.

Because you know, that screams "open development".

Then they come up with a new and inventive plan to SPY on the same backers who gave them all this money, by adding a shoddily implemented visual watermark to a game backers already PAID for, and to which they're entitled. Because you know, nothing screams LEAK! like a bunch of unbelievers posting screen shots and videos of the train wreck that the project has become.

And going by the number of obvious bugs in the 3.0 Evocati build, one would think that a company with $160M of other people's money, would have a well staffed QA team, or outsource it to professionals. But that would mean spending money wisely.

Yet, back in Nov 2016 when I wrote Croberts basically went on stage, lied, and made up a bunch of poo poo, and I later wrote this:

quote:
3.0 status: sources say all are still laughing at this one. It simple does NOT exist as was communicated to backers. It was basically a wishlist of items they wanted to see in a point release; and which Roberts when on the record (again) as saying was coming by �year end, and not on Dec 19th like last year�.

....you were one of several (some are still parroting the same bullshit) saying that I was talking poo poo, that my sources were fake etc.

Then the first 3.0 schedule dropped in April 2017, and I was proven to be right.

And then, just like that, 3.0 became the "Baby Jesus Patch" in which, last I checked this weekend, over 75% of what is in the leaked changelog doesn't even exist in the build, the tech is still poo poo, performance is in the crapper, netcode is worse than ever before, and they're about to add a pile of more bugs to the 3000+ strong list.

But don't worry though, Derek Smart lied when he said "3.0 didn't exist"; Evocati are now playing it! Checkmate Goonie!

Basically, 3.0, when it drops, is going to be just another buggy release with 1000+ more bugs to add to the list.

But don't worry though, 6 years later, it's still pre-alpha. I'm sure they will get their act together soon. Pledge moah!

The loving project, just as I predicted in the 2015 July Blog, is loving dead. Only the loving morons still giving CIG money, don't know it yet.

TheLastRoboKy: May 2, 2009; Finishing the game with everyone else's continues

I was gonna laugh at MoMA for laying the weakest smackdown on Derek but Derek's response is punishment enough.

Seriously though, from everything we've heard this 3.0 has way less than initially promised. They basically cut back on features till they got something that still doesn't run and shoved it to testers indefinitely. Trying to claim sort of technical triumph about it is just a fool's errand, there's not a soul here who would let that slide let alone Derek.

Someone bought it for me months ago cause I'm an internet superstar and I forgot it was coming out today, so I'll probably be downloading it then not touching it again cause FF14 has a new major patch release tonight.
