TheAgent posted:*snorts a line of mocap* That mocap is still occurring is something that will never stop being amazing to me. Chris stealing a few tens of millions of dollars to pretend to be a director back a few years ago, assuming a game to "plug it all into" was a foregone conclusion - that's pure Roberts. But doing it in 2018, when the game has fallen apart at the seams, none of the previous mocap is usable, and the game is still not yet designed, not to mention a lawsuit looming - that's amazing.

Here's a fun game to play: How many new elements would have to be put in place before boats were a thing they could actually implement? How many for submersibles? How many have to be completely missing, with no plan to implement them ever, before the sale becomes outright fraud?

Let's see, top of my head: Boats
Submersibles:
So basically in this week's boat sale we have tacked on the technical debt of Black Flag and also Subnautica. No big deal!

I had a great idea of re-wording Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner in celebration of the forthcoming red hot boat action Star Citizen will never have. Then I remembered how loving long the poem was. Have some excerpts instead. quote:The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone: quote:And a good south wind sprung up behind; quote:'God save thee, ancient Crobbler!

Hav posted:Thanks for the backfill. I was all over Groklaw when it kicked off and remember the side issue of them attempting to out Pam Jones. I was similarly obsessed, I bought the CSRG archives (all the BSD source code from the beginning to 4.4), and did a comparison of the API for Pamela so we could say for sure what the code itself was saying in reference both to SCO's claims and the USL/RoCA settlement. Berkeley owed a lot to the brilliant Bill Joy who pretty much wrote half the early system (and was able to take that on to Sun), so it was clean, understandable code. The ad hominem attacks on Jones were rather creepy. Particularly one Florian Müller who regularly misrepresented groklaw's intentions and the rather bizarre contributions of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution who had the novel theory that Linux must be stolen because no mere student could write a Unix. But the use of a think-tank indicated that rather shadowy people had money vested in the hope that SCO could litigate successfully.

The "dark ages", like Star Citizen, is a thing that people talk about as if it's a thing, when it actually isn't.

Sarsapariller posted:Here's a fun game to play: If procedurally generated ground height is less than sea level, then water. Boats are cars that work on water. Submarines are ships that fly under water, but with a wavy blue screen effect. Water resistance is just a matter of tweaking thruster numbers, but we can do that later.

I don't get why Bluegoblin thinks asking people to be more positive is trolling them, like it's going to make them fly off the handle with rage and get banned. All it does is make him look even more uncomprehending and detached from reality than normal.

I'd forgotten about Florian; he was an absolutely amazing flak. He was working for MS and Oracle at the time, and would later take some money from Red Hat while opposing software patents, but he was very much your 'backer' of the era.

Prepar3d is a big-boy no fun allowed sim that covers Aircraft and submarines. No one knows how it works though because no one uses the sub in the sim.

Argument: procedural tech is pointless because all it generates are boring, desolate moons. Repartee: just imagine how great it will be when it can generate populated planets! What kind of fallacy is this? It must have a name.

So, what did they actually say about aquatic vehicles. Because the concept that Star Citizen could now be competing with Subnautica is so farsical, we have been joking about it for over a year. "See that rancid puddle, you could fit Subnautica in there"

Someone asked if they would be selling airplane or aquatic vehicle jpgs this year. The dev answered "no, there are currently no plans for that", and Lando clarified "not this year but maybe in the future" because he apparently really likes the idea.
