Although he's probably being smart and not naming his company, but i called it ages ago when I said he was an engineer or architect or something.

Book smart but stupid everywhere else, loads of income and nothing but animu's and space ships to spend it on

We're at war with Goons. We were attacked by Goons. Do you want to kill Goons, or would you rather have Citizens killed?

Welp, glad I'm running Goodyear & Firestone tires...

In other news & notes, I'm thinking of picking up Arma 3 during the steam sale. I have picked up the Nevada map for DCS. I'm thinking of picking up the F-5 or Mirage, but really the budget isn't there at the moment. Plus I'd much rather wait and get the F-15E Razbam announced this week and the F-4 when it becomes available.

I love how all the comments are still circlejerking about how "amazing" the game is and how it being a buggy shitfest shows how superior its mechanics are.

Don’t know if this is relevant enough to this thread, but Illfonic are embroiled in a new controversy over a crowdfunded game turned into a clusterfuck on multiple levels. They were the devs for the Friday the 13th game that was produced by Adam Sessler, and boy, what a story that has been.

They did deliver the game, but it was a technical mess. Then, they announced that paid DLC was coming before any significant fixes, every patch broke more things than it fixed, and the only dates they ever met were the DLC release dates.

Then there was a lawsuit filed by the uncredited original writer of the first movie. Basically, the guy never got any royalties, and never wanted there to be any sequels. He sued for royalties owed and has been shutting down any and all merchant that he can, as he now owns the Friday the 13th IP. Illfonic had apparently finished a new playable version of Jason from Jason X, and could have released him before the judgement on the lawsuit, which did have any injunctions or restraints on licensing before the verdict. They also missed a promised date for a patch, and now they say they can’t even patch the game due to the results of the lawsuit, even though a mobile Friday the 13th puzzle game’s producers have said they don’t have to stop patching their game under the judgement.

Kind of funny how nobody involved in Star Citizen comes out of anything clean, huh?

There's something else about bears not many people know. If a bear gets hooked on the taste of crowdfunding, it becomes a man-killer. He'll go on a rampage and has to be destroyed. And that's why you should never hug a bear.

I've only ever played solo mostly did regional trading 2013-2015 but that gets boring fast after repeating the same thing over and over making more ISK than you could ever spend.

Some of the best months I ever had as a trader was during the height of the Casino War when all of Goons were in Saranen. Skill Injectors had just come out the ISK making on trading in that station was insane. I would have a blockade runner drop off a bunch of stuff in the Saranen station post it for sale. It would be all be gone before I had made it back to Jita and would just repeat the process over and over. Buying ships reselling them to the same client for 100 or 200m more than what you paid for. Unreal.

Yeah I remember what a clusterfuck that was too. I made most of my titan money when we'd just resettled delve and rorqual mining was taking off hard, I'd buy as many excavator drones as I could, ship them down to 1DQ, and they'd sell like hotcakes at near on 100m profit, and within the hour I'd be able to buy another lot from jita. It was obscene.

And hilarious because it's so easy to lose them and they're worth a billion each.

Has anyone else noticed Chris Roberts lack of social media use? He had 7 tweets in 2015, 1 in 2017, and none since. Here's his last tweet about Star Citizen:

https://twitter.com/croberts68/status/669775751747534848

Funny how 3 years later the shallow experience he's describing is still all there is to his tech demo.

Combat's fine; select pistol and play as Sterling Archer.

That hacking minigame though. gently caress that thing.

That minigame is fine if you don't have the stealth bug that quietly makes it nearly impossible for certain people. I thought it was goddamn impossible until I found out there was a mouse bug that exclusively hosed me over in the hacking minigame!

And combat's fine if you go stealth + pistols, everything dies. When you finish, look up a guide and boggle at the number of random potential options and weird little things you missed.

You almost understand game development but let me just clarify how to do CIG ultra game dev.

It's not the server that sends updates. Each client has to send all those things every frame to every other client AND the server. The server then checks to see the hidden pledge level to determine outcomes in dogfights etc.

Stay away from anything written by the Mittani, also anyone that talks about the game fondly in any way.

yup, I bought one when they were the hot thing and after spending hours and hours with it I was like "this is the most un-intuitive crap ever" and just went with a bone controller

it can't play like games that are strictly meant for M+K from the couch, but trying to do that with a steam controller was a loving nightmare anyway

like I have a sea of loving PC controllers and the bone one has been the best so far (even though I don't own a bone myself)

Huh. I got a Xbone controller and at first everything seemed okay. However, after I used it a bit I started noticing that it would lose connection for just a fraction of a second Not enough to really notice even if your looking for it, but enough that it can be ruinous if you're trying to jump a pit in a game.

I don't know if a defective controller, something just inherent to Xbone controllers, or the general black hole nature of my house when it comes to bluetooth signals.

You can just plug it in using a usb cable? That'll avoid any Bluetooth issues.

I only use wired 360 controllers exactly to avoid this. I'll be damned if a wonky signal or dying battery fucks up my playing. Wireless controllers have always struck me as overrated, anyways; only ones I use are the ones that came with my consoles.

Even more so than Full Burn, there was a music video on YT of a Star Citizen "fight song" that still makes me smile when I think about it. It was a rap, and the refrain was "SAY WHAT MOTHERFUCKAAA" but sadly it looks like it was taken down, likely by its creators. It was really loving bad.

Just a reminder to archive everything that makes you lol because one day all you'll have is your memories :(

Does it count as working properly if the xbox1 controller bugs out and makes the screen spin slowly faster and faster if you try to play with perennial all-star classic Sonic Herpes Heroes I seriously made that typo what is my life

And seriously it would start with a very gentle rotation that was slightly disoriented and then two minutes in the camera is just rocking to its own beat without a care in the world

That sounds like a (hilarious) problem with the controller. Have you tried it with another controller, or reinstalling the driver? If this is the only game it does it to the problems probably the game, not the controller
