What now? 3.0 out or not? I keep reading about waves.

It went out for its first "Public" testing, which means not only the ETF testers under non disclosure agreement get it, but also the Wave 1 PTU testers, which means that all the embargos on streams, videos etc on the current patch are lifted.

Wave 1 also includes the people who have a Subscription (:10bux: per month)

you see...


Its out, but not

I thought it would just work on the wifi, it has a camera and I can talk to people at my door (I will figure out how to record this) but nooooo it needs the internet.
My fault as usual for not reading anything about it before I bought it.
I do think it means I can answer my house like a phone though from anywhere in the world and talk to whoever is there which is pretty odd / cool

Concierge Citizens ($1000 and above) are included in the earlier Waves in PTU releases... they are however not included in this PTUs wave 1. Subscribers are tho.

$10 per month beats $1000 you already spent

E: the website says concierge is included, but theres reports from Concierge plebs who did not get their invites yet

I think it would have hurt their narrative had they released to PTU, yet simultaneously declaring the number of bugs has gone up.

Backers are incredibly short sighted, and are going to rush out to pick up their dream ship for 3.0. The game is finally coming out, so it's time go all in.

You lost. That doesn't mean star citizen is automatically good or anything. But you need to dial back the bullshit.

I’m not sure if I said 3.0 was not going to come out this year, but for all the lurkers thinking “hell yeah”, I’ll admit defeat that 3.0 did in fact apparently get release! :)

Victory is yours... kinda! :confuoot:

Clean Code

Is the newer one a reprint, and if not, is it worth getting both?

Clean code is about what makes good code and boils down to making things readable, because everyone spends more time reading code than actually writing it.

Clean Coder concentrates on what the meatbag between the keyboard and chair should understand and be capable of; knowing design patterns and simple algorithms, etc.

I’d get code before coder if i had to choose.

So is there a way, any way at all, that people can take this release as:

1: Definitely needed to drum up hype before the holiday sale
2: Was necessary to be great, as it is the first content drop in almost a year
3: Had to be great because every backer is expecting 3.0 to be The Patch That Redefines The Game For Everybody

And based on this, the result feels:
1: Broken
2: Hilariously full of bugs
3: Broken to the point it is unplayable

Now, with this knowledge, and I just want to take tiny baby steps here, can everybody please acknowledge this one fact:

Chris Roberts is not a perfectionist, and the game being in development so long is not because he will only allow perfect products to be released.

It’s been how long and it’s still just a bunch of separate glorified demos. A lot of stuff that doesn’t really meld together into a focused game. A lot of tech demos. And this is after 5 years.”

I don't want to say this is gonna be another No Man's Sky, but it's gonna be another No Man's Sky, space exploration games are incredibly niche, and Star Citizen would've gone bust years ago if a couple hundred whales didn't give them millions of dollars.

Also wasn't the last update for this game a half a year ago? OMEGALUL”
