Most people have the day off today. Don't you think your parents would appreciate a call from you?

Hell, even a text would be nice. Namaste.

You can just absolve yourself of it. It will be fine. No harm done.

Fake i'm pretty sure. The guy who posted it seems unhinged.

The SC mods, despite perhaps being a little loony for investing in SC, otherwise seem like a decent bunch... if a tad biased when it came to dealing with certain users insulting people who dared to criticize SC.

It is the most expensive game ever being made, but mainly because its 'production costs' are, essentially, generated and described in the style of this clip.

Literally a wank pod.

Also, it was attached to his joy department but choked him to death? That's some grip Or did it just never stop rubbing?

Moma was last seen shouting "I'm going downstairs, do not disturb me!"

The article describes a complex rope and pulley system that attached both to his neck for a choking experience as well as his private parts in order to apply force to both.

Police considered that due to the complex hoist he was unabled to free himself on his own.

Quite the grotesque description actually.

I mean, yeah he's a try-hard edgelord who doesn't even know enough about the topic to realise that "swastika" in any language but sanskrit denotes the style of cross, not a specific facing of it. It's a swastika but it's not the hakenkreuz. Just because he's a trash person doesn't make him a liar though.

I just think it's nice that the SC mods private message the OP using the same style and language that the OP posts to general reddit in.

Agree entirely.

If it's true it should be easy for the other mods to look at his messages right?

It's more telling that they are running the sub so poorly that a mod message like that could even seem possible.

Chris ~~probably~~ thinks he is some kind of revolutionary without limitations, but if you want to break new ground you need to be clever, and know how to push the limits you have rather than ignore them completely. You can't just tell the hardware to do more and hope it keeps up or assume future hardware is going to do the heavy lifting for you, you have to know exactly what the hardware can do and work around that, knowing where your bottlenecks are and trying to figure out what you can do to get that extra performance.

I'm guessing it's been brought up before, or hell maybe I got it from this thread ages and ages ago, but there are a great series of blog posts about Naughty Dog and the development of the first Crash game. It starts here. One of the things they talk about is just how much they worked to make the game perform as well as it does on the Playstation, working with the memory the console has available. They ran the disk at full tilt, which made Sony worry that the game would ruin every console's CD drives.

They were even suspected of having special access with Sony:

There is a lot of detail about how they pushed their boundaries, how thoroughly they thought about everything, they talk about design challenges, they talk about the process of building a level and actually making the game fun and I think through all that they deserve the parts where they talk about how critical they could be and how demanding they were as they put so much into this game.
I feel like you could take a lot of quotes from this blog and, with no commentary, say something about the development of Star Citizen.

As I recall, Rare also had to do some of that "skip the standard library, go closer to the hardware" stuff to get some of their N64 titles to work. It's probably why certain features of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark took so long for emulators to get working.

Jesus Christ on a Popsicle stick! They really are going to the "not interested in the game anyway", "friends we met along the way", "here for the development" thing now? How in the hell are they NOT interested in the game when they all have streams dedicated TO the game as they all then go on to talk about what they HOPE are in the game. Unbelievable.

Tragic news from Germany: Not an auditor but an electrician died in his home made wank pod (German: "Porn UFO")

https://www.express.de/news/panorama/ahnungslose-mutter-fand-ihn-im-keller-elektriker-stirbt-in-selbstgebautem-porno-ufo-29411216

To summarize; 35 y/o incel electrician lives with his parents, has a hobby cellar where no one is allowed. To keep people out he installed a lockpad and a sign "Restricted Area - Spaceship!".

One day his employer calls, he hasn't seen the guy in days. Parents venture into the basement, find a starship bridge with lots of screens playing porn and the poor electrician who had build some mechanism somehow connected to his genitals that had choked him to death.

Has someone heard of MoMa by the way?

the worst type of electrician
