If you're worried this shitshow might die any time soon- don't. The wave 1 tickets sold out before they were even supposed to be on sale. ShapCap is extremely salty about it. I would be too if I had a full gimp-suit Star Citizen cosplay that I only got to wear once a year.

I was going to do one for 3.6 but honestly I don't think they're even changing anything I can get my hands on. Just a bunch of luxury horseshit that nobody in their right mind can give a gently caress about. I was kind of excited about the ship rentals, it would be the first time outside of free-fly that I got to jump into some different ships. But they sure scrapped that!

I said come in! posted:

Why would anyone attend a convention for a game that doesn't exist yet?????????????

How many tickets were in "Wave 1?"

they obviously went way way way in the red with last years citcon so a smaller venue in europe (where most of their big whales are) makes sense

reverend crabhands posted:

Wtf?

Am I misunderstanding this, the mans did too much running so his heart rate went too high and so he died?

TheAgent posted:

125

they only have around 500 seats to sell, unlike last years 2,000+ that barely sold half

Did anyone else hear about the "unhackable" computer that some guy is running a Kickstarter for? I so want to know if any of the citizens would throw money at it.
They would totally fall within the target audience.

Where did the idea come from?

In a dream.

I was repeatedly a victim of hackers. If you were hacked as well, you can relate to the nightmare that one undergoes, the helplessness, the loss of time, money, efficiency, and confidence.

Realizing how wide spread the problem is drove me to find a solution. I talked to tech support people at several cyber security companies. The response was very discouraging. “It’s not possible to stop hacking.”, was the recurring comment.

In my research, I found out that all the PC manufacturers follow the IBM Personal computer design that IBM came out with in the 1980s.

For months, I was obsessed with the problem. One thing became clear that “Software Alone solution” would not end the hacking problem. A Hardware-and-Software solution was needed. Most computer engineers specialize in either Hardware or Software.

Luckily, I have an in depth knowledge of Software and Hardware. Then suddenly, the solution came to me in my dream. I woke up and wrote it down. I went through hundreds of “what if” scenarios.

So, I came up with a new hardware design of Personal Computer where the computer processing is done in one hardware compartment and the Internet processing in another, both completely separate from each other. Nothing in the Internet processing area is allowed to go to computer processing area. If a virus gets into the Internet processing area it cannot affect the computer processing area in any way whatsoever. The computer is always working. In worst case, the user turns off the computer and the virus is gone. It is the two hardware compartments that make the computer Unhackable.

Yes this is one of Star Citizen's anti-fun features that I don't talk about much anymore. You have a heart rate. If you run, it'll go up. High heart rate is bad- it makes you consume oxygen real fast, and if it goes too high you will literally begin to take damage and die. It doesn't take much, either. Running in full armor and doing a couple of jumps will kill you within seconds.

This is obviously extremely fidelitous to the way that all real-world humans are minutes away from a full cardiac episode, and it's not at all a giant annoying rear end-pain to have to walk at half-speed everywhere or else strip all your clothes off. They definitely did not implement this because people running too fast made their game look real lovely.

It's really great how job poo poo can rip away my waste time, and keep me from this thread for 8 months, and when I check back in, literally nothing has happened except a Forbes article.

There actually IS evidence because the patent really DOES exist. And if it's patented it must be true, so please get your facts straight.

The creator should create a wiki page for this unhackable computer, that way there's a second trustworthy source of information ...
