MedicineHut posted:Thanks for the effort friend. But I have absolutely zero idea what that meant. All I eed to know is if this is something someone can realistically give shitizens poo poo about or not. Asking for a friend. An EC2 instance is a computer that you connect to. Normally you don’t connect directly to an instance, but use an ELB or ALB to balance load across multiple EC2 instances. It appears that they’re sharding the game universe in such a way that you connect to a representation of the universe. It’s not generally the way you use EC2, or how you shard a game universe. One of the reasons that this is bad is you cannot predict the ip space supplied, you don’t know the shared residency of the hardware you’re ‘renting’ for the lifetime of the instance, and they’re probably pushing everything through the west coast at the moment. Amazon’s availability zones are a bit of a nightmare to navigate, mainly because there’s no real concept of a GeoIp or GSLB up front, so mainly people pick a point and roll with it. Latency is really going to be the issue here. To use a car analogy, they’re trying to build a sporty roadster from tractor parts. When you request a movie from netflix, for example, it starts a number of instances and performance tests them all, then dumps a bunch of the ones that are not performant. It’s one reason why dedicated hosts are normally the way to do things; this is not dedicated hosts, but more of a ‘fabric’ of cross-communicating instances, which means network latency; not the speed of light, but the speed of network switching.

fatal oopsie-daisy posted:This is kind of a sad story Star Citizen is a game where you buy ships, take pictures of ships, and post your pictures in as many places as possible. It sounds like your friend is extremely good at Star Citizen. There's nothing wrong with that as long as he's not actively participating in the scam by hyping non-existent features, a more advanced form of the same game. Money, in the end, is just a tool to get what you want out of life, and what some people want out of life is a digital dollhouse with spaceships in it. I kind of tweaked Beer for saying that about PC case mods earlier but it's true. Some people collect plastic miniature war figurines, some people spend hundreds-to-thousands on digital spaceships that barely exist even as art assets in a game with no mechanics. So I don't think you should be sad for a Citizen- just be glad he's got some dumb thing to be invested in and happy about. If you have any anger, save it for the company that sold him the dream in the first place, without ever intending to deliver on it. This applies to pretty much any friend who's "Too deep" into a stupid thing, unless it has actively started eating their savings and life. As to your question, no. I left the SC-playing group I was a part of and haven't kept in touch but I'm sure they've found some other hole to dump their money into by now. I'm probably the deepest person still "In" on these forums, outside of like Alex D Large, and it's mostly as a form of anthropology these days.

Hey remember the F8 Lightning, the big super final ultimate military machine that would definitely never be sold to backers, and this was used as an excuse to justify selling a whole bunch of other super ultimate military stuff to backers? https://old.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/9zebn4/anvil_f8_lighting_hanger_bob_reporting/?st=josq4ep8&sh=e69cc733 lol

We both agree the ships are pretty though then we stop talking about SC because who cares. I know someone in for a grand. My last interaction was asking about the lawsuit, but i wasn’t to worry because Ortwin was an entertainment lawyer.

I got sunless skies (meh?) I think this will get better but I'll probably going to cheat myself some money for a functional cargo hold. Mass effect 2 (ohh gently caress do i need to find an FOV mod and why the hell did they gently caress up movement, no crouch, and cover system is poo poo) Arcanum (I hope the fan patch works better on steam versions (by that I mean it works)) Dreamfall the Longest Journey (refunded after seeing the rubber ducky puzzle) (I mean drat the blade runner must have been amazing by adventure game standards because how the hell is that considered good) I'll probably watch a video LP the longest journey Someone asked earlier CoC 2018 = the new call of cthulhu game. I feel the best purchasable experience for lovecraft themed RPGs is to find a prostitute of some kind that is also an experienced game master and just pay for game sessions instead of sex. I should probably empty quote the agent for this but I am lazy. Also in funding campaign legends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihALjBo-PTg quote:Cleveland Blakemore, the developer of “Grimoire : Heralds of the Winged Exemplar” Recently got word of a very old Reddit post on the SidAlpha Subreddit. That Reddit post made some statements and claims that the developer took exception to claiming personal defamation and slander. When he as met with resistance he resorted to making legal threats, threatening to sue Reddit, the original poster, and even threatened to sue me as well. Naturally, I thought it proper to provide my own commentary and opinion of their actions and also to take a brief look at a game that took over 20 years to make, had 3 indiegogo campaigns to fund it, and broke nearly a dozen release dates. 20 years dev time and 3 crowdfunding campaigns. Truly legend. I am surprised I didn't hear about it before.

Sarsapariller posted:Okay so yeah there's a big show floor at Lorevill that they are apparently going to load a poo poo ton of ships into this weekend. There is no way this works without crashing everyone in the vicinity. That is pretty cool, though. If it would be in a game that works, and where you can earn that stuff ingame with some kind of grind. Like, if something like that would happen in E:D, as a special event to showcase couple new ships, ingame, with no way of seeing them outside of the game for a couple of hours, it'd give it at thumbs up. (I'm a sucker for cool and expensive cars [which I pay/lease out of my own pocket instead of fooling similar idiots like me]). But here, it's obvious how many hundred or thousand man-hours went into the next sales push, instead of fixing the game.
