mods changed my name posted:Fwiw I believe whatever dude posted about banning anything running other than the game also suggested that Chris Roberts could also create a universal translator before croberts enthusiastically praised this idea and agreed to put it in the game, did he indicate what it might be translating does he just mean like Spanish and english lol

It was something like using Google translate and I guess like Microsoft Sam and when you speak whatever language (in real life, into your microphone) it would spit it out into whatever language the other players would want to hear. Real time VoIP translation of language. A universal translator, so that all the Star citizens of Earth can come together as one. Edit: one of the regular star citizen posters might remember, I think it was the really depressed dude with the seal avatar. Edit I'll never find it again lol, but it was just the most insane thing I remember reading and I is always the first thing I think of when it comes to insane requests of Chris Roberts mods changed my name fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Nov 14, 2018 |

I told him that making the buttplug out of acrylic is no problem but in order to get enough interior space for the live goldfish to go in there he is either going to end up with an acrylic thickness that almost certainly isn’t safe or he’s going to end up with 10 cases of Chinese buttplugs that are only marketable to people with size 11 assholes. But whatever, it’s his problem now. e: sorry, wrong thread

Yeah the insane thing about Star Citizen is how often Croberts promises poo poo that would be a technological breakthrough on it's own (real time VOIP translator) but it's literally every feature of the game. Making a flawless VOIP translator would take the combined effort of some really bright people from a range of disciplines but we're supposed to believe some game devs are going to do this poo poo? Yeah right. The ones that exist now are pretty barebones and there's an obvious delay as the software waits for the speaker to finish their sentence.

Rutibex posted:EVE online has the same spaceship storage conceit in the lore, but it doesn't make you wait for it because: why would you? It is not fun passing out in your cockpit by turning. It is not fun only landing one out of a hundred shots because it's more realistic. This compounded with every update and culminated with me waiting in line to buy a gun, because the store was crowded and I realized that this game was not going to be the Privateer, but new game I wanted and I went and played Elite Dangerous instead.

There are multitude of languages that are dying or already dead and funding their preservation efforts would be legit cool thing to do, even if it's only so that you can take that work and call it Space Klingon. That's not what they did of course but that would be something you could do if you want unknown but working language for your game and have idiots giving you money.

uuh it's not like you put $500 in the Dead Language Machine and get an idiomatic grasp of some obscure Pacific Islander dialect that's meaningfully different than just jamming syllables together and calling it a day.

Croberts is enough of a liar that he'd advertise hiring a linguist while actually just getting an intern to write all that stuff. On the other hand, he's also dumb enough to hand a bunch of money to a linguist for his game. I'm just imagining some linguist taking this guy for a ride. Like they're getting their monthly consultation fee even though they're just adding apostrophes to words from a chinese dictionary because they have a paper to publish.

Statutory Ape posted:lmao hahhah can somebody pls ask the devs how those languages theyre creating for the game are coming along lmfao christ Weirdly, this is one of the few big stretch goals they HAVE actually done! Mainly because there are a lot of reasonably competent con-lang guys out there desperately looking for paid work, and cobbling together a basic grammar and vocabulary for a made up language or two can be done more or less in a vacuum by one dude if you throw a year or so's salary at them and give them a basic briefing on the "lore". You don't need a functioning game to make up a language, it's like concept art that an independent worker can do totally separately. It's completely cosmetic, frivolous and meaningless in terms of improving the play experience, and of course it's not in the game, because there are no interactable speaking aliens in whatever passes for a "game" right now, but it has been "done", probably just to shut people up and give the illusion of progress.

I was told that the citcon demos about flying to cities were 'faked' and that none of this was ever going to happen. So how are youtubers flying around in their 'jpegs' and landing in forests and cities and poo poo? Checkmate atheists.
