During a brief time at art college, I was told by a tutor that the hardest thing people had to contend with was knowing when a piece of art was 'done'.

AdzAdama appears to have buried and burned the whole concept to amazing and entirely unique effect.

Edit: :hifive: wimple bro.

Do you mean he decides it's done rather quickly?

:hfive: wimple bro. In a world of excess and lack of humility, some need to show modest style.

They pretty much said as a totally throw away comment 'lol sorry guys no offline gently caress u' so I could understand at the time why folks were a bit salty about it.

Better or worse than CIG's handling of the missing seat and Inspector Lesnick's investigation?

So if 1.9 million of the largest land claims fit on a single planet (which, incidentally, would represent $190 million of revenue, or more than CIG's entire claimed funding total to date):

1.9 million land claims at 64 km^2 (8 km x 8 km) comes out to at least a 3110 km planetary radius, assuming no packing losses from trying to fit plots onto a sphere -- maybe they can be arbitrarily shaped so that they'll all fit in, as long as they have the stated total area. I guess I am also assuming that land claims are not instanced, so that it is impossible to have multiple claims in the same physical location.

For comparison, Reddit says the following about current moon sizes in 3.0:


So CIG are promising planets that are 10-40 times the diameter of the current moons, or 100-1600 times the surface area. And here I thought the current moons already looked barren...

Its just a variable in their dynamic planetary generation system. Almost as easy as falling off a bike and breaking your wrists!

Hello Commandos
When I was at art college I had the distinction of being the only person on the fashion module to never thread as much as a single needle or sow a single stitch.
I stapled all the 'clothes' I made with a stapler and said in my presentation it was a commentary on our 'throw away culture' and the disposable of modern fashion. I got really good marks for it and the tutors nodded sagely. In reality I just could not be arsed sewing poo poo, I wanted to do graphic design not that crap.

Far less funny, so overall worse. I remember the gnashing and wailing by grognards in the face of reasonable logic which was essentially 'we want everyone to share the same background sim'.
Hmmm, maybe it was funnier thinking about it, people lost their poo poo for literally no good reason until the one thing they could latch on to (I HAVE BAD BROADBAND IN KENTUCKY GRRRRR) brought the last remaining few together in what can only be described as the saddest self help group of all time.

Oh dear god(s) now my mental picture is complete. :laffo: It is one of those things that always amazes me that art is so, so, so subjective. True story: Many years ago one of my friends - long story short, he was an artist and even got some gallery exhibitions later in his career - before dying in a car crash in Ibiza way too young - drove a red car into the sea, in Ibiza, deliberately (it was a rental and not his). We were all, like, WTF dude. His answer was: Red Car, Blue Sea! It's ART. Hard to argue with really :)

Ok so - Goons who know better please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the whole offline/online thing with ED was resolved ages and ages ago after it caused a lot of stink and a lot of refunds when they said that offline wouldn't be part of the final product. How does this clown not know this?

I believe about 5 years ago before ED was going to release they advised they had to drop offline because of how the game actually works. I believe they also didn’t have Solo play in, or were developing it, but there were people in places that had terrible internet or pay per use internet who were very upset.

Frontier did not handle things well, but eventually gave people refunds for the issue.

However it’s been half a decade, ED is not only pretty old on PC but has also been released on consoles. It’s pretty much the golden standard to ooh and ahh for a VR introduction. It’s getting old and I don’t think anybody today still considers it “a scam”. Maybe getting close to “old” but not a scam.

Meanwhile during this time, Star Citizen was in pre-alpha. My goodness how time has slipped by and look at the progress “not a scam” Star Citizen has made. :allears:

Kinda precisely my point (I was hoping my memory hadn't misconstrued events as I remembered them). As others above have pointed out, the guy who was trying to do a "sick burn" on SC vs ED criticism was clutching at straws.
