Fluke is the Kleenex of multimeters. It's so ubiquitous that everyone just calls multimeters "flukes."

The Titanic posted:loving disgusting. Don't be so hard on little Chris, he can probably barely tell what day it is most of the time All the scorn should be saved for the hundreds of people that feed him the bullshit everyday "DONT WORRY CHRIS IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!" "OH YA EVERYTHING YOU'VE IMAGINED!!" Just remember most of the employees are earning a decent wage, at least on par with industry standards, I'm sure in many cases people are making serious bank for having to do nothing other than warm a chair for 8 hours a day (lesnick)

SomethingJones posted:For the record - I remember the hype around Privateer very well. It sounded like it was taking the lone pilot space trade combat game and adding more depth, more story, better graphics - it was going to be Elite except better in every single way. I remember the adverts in the print magazines for it and being excited for it. You realize coming up with these ideas is very hard. Chris Roberts can only have so many award winning genius ideas in a life time. WW2 in space is very hard to pull off. Especially since your atmosphere is very 1940’s, but your hidden technology is space-age. Like your people have guns that shoot bullets, and everybody hard loads cargo in crates, but inside the ship is liquid gravity. Nobody weaponized it though because they can’t advance outside of WW2 in space. So the gravity goo is taken for granted. Chris Roberts is a visionary. If only he had programming talent to layer in the basic code on these ideas. He’s like a genius without a pen to write down all these ideas on. I’m already looking forward to his next masterpiece. Which may be a space game in a highly advanced world but everybody in it is low tech, possibly like WW2 except in space.

McGiggins posted:What's this liquid gravity bullshit? In the 'verse, artificial gravity is provided by pumping gravity goo around in ships. And before you ask, no, no one at CIG has thought about the gameplay implications of that. They'll get around to that when they actually model the gravity goo, I guess

Milky Moor posted:I struggle to judge Wing Commander's gameplay as 'very well' in quality. It was a 'fun enough' kind of average. It was just a thing you did between cutscenes and it felt like the missions were as prompt as possible (visit these three waypoints, kill some enemies, come back). Although there were some genuinely interesting missions (like the one where you need to rescue Catscratch and scrub a vital mission in the process) but they were few and far between compared to other sci-fi sims. This is true. Though even in the day it was just “ok”. It featured branching missions, but it was so tedious that you probably would be hard pressed to beat it once, much less try to go back and choose a different option. It was very solidly in the “play once” category; and this was even before there were 6 billion games on the market. I also believe the best of them all was #2. I did best that one, and it had a slightly catchy story line. Ironically though I think #2 is the one CR didn’t gently caress with the story on. 3 was terrible and basically ruined all the interesting characters for no reason. 4 was very forgettable. The Prophecy stuff was horrible and I don’t think I even played them past a mission or two because it was just outright crap. Your opinions may vary, but that’s ok.  And just to cover everything, #1 was pretty janky but colorful for its time. I don’t think it had a story beyond mission briefings but it was tough to play. Also another critical thing to realize is that pretty much all of these games except Prophecy pretty much ran like poo poo unless you were rich and could dump 4K into a 486 or Pentium or something. Prophecy finally used a video card to play, so I remember it running ok. But all the rest were slide shows, and even the cutscenes would often be slow. Dog fights in asteroids were exercises in frustration. Just to get the games to even run, you had to gently caress with drivers and junk. Sometimes you’d have some audio, sometimes you’d have your characters hand on screen because you got the memory right. Just getting them to work was a challenge.

A lot of Enterprise was poo poo (like the intro) but if you binge one of the seasons, I think the 3rd, it’s pretty cool as the ship just gets wrecked over the season and I think literally breaks its back. It’s like the Year From Hell in Voyager except over multiple episodes.

tooterfish posted:It's worth noting that none of a ship's cargo will be abstracted. I mean just try to imagine what needs to happen just at the network packet-level when a theoretical Idris warps into the middle of a dogfight in a field of asteroids with 20 people on board all running around interacting with the ship and its objects, turrets rotating and firing physics objects while accelerating, 100 pieces of cargo with diiverse contents, snub fighters, a wing of 3 other ships which each have crew, cargo, all firing lazers/missiles/torpedoes/chainguns, doing damage, taking damage, all moving into and out of nested physics grids.. Imagine being that game server. I mean, it's loving laughably infeasible. It's hilariously ignorant and at the same time shockingly psychotic to even imply the poo poo Chris Roberts has unflinchingly committed to right in the face of the full weight of modern computational reality. But hey guys! HUNDREDS of people per server! seamless transitions! No loading screens! CIG on the whole has proven themselves to be a dead organization, stuck in concrete, unable to deliver even mildly interesting fully faked bullshot presentations showing the tiniest incomplete slice of the scenario I just described. I can't really understand how CIG even exists at all, so perfect is their incompetence.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:It gets even more fun when you consider that the jump from development to sustaining a product after you release is really loving hard and all of those grand goals you hoped to achieve once your product ships go out the window in favor of crushing bugs, maintaining the player base, addressing balance, and hundreds of other things that you have to address NOW because people are paying for your product and won't tolerate the kind of failures that define an Early Access product. Part of the fact CIG has no sustainability plan for post release also helps it taste like a scam.

Really I think the best thing to happen would be for CIG to release 3.0, and immediately drop out and start a new kickstarter. Honestly CR has so many good ideas that he shouldn’t limit himself for so long to just one. I bet the backers would take it well, and follow him to Part 2 of his road to continued riches. They could even come up with awesome ideas about how he’s too genius to be held back, etc etc. it’d be great.
