This reminds me of the guy who wanted the SC client to take over the players PC so they couldn’t use Discord or out of game communication software to ‘cheat’.

quote:

A good (but not popular) way to stop any possible cheat in a multi-player game would be to program the game Client to refuse to run unless on that computer no other software is operational but the Operating System and an anti-virus software.

No third party utilities, programs, scripts, nothing, just the Client, period.

If while the game Client is running some other software is opened the game Client would send a warning message that, unless within X time that software is closed the game Client would self-shut down....

This way, players would just be using the Client to play the game and when they want to do else, shut down the client and do else...

This would also solve the issue of having players using external Third party COMMs rather then the in-game one.....

I know, I said that already, it would not be a popular thing, unfortunately, but it would be a good way, I imagine, to stop any and all cheating in a game and have players to either have to play the game only as it was intended to be played or, not play it at all......

I really think CIG is the victim of their own transparency. Everything is so visible, so when the inevitable process of having to push back some features happens, everyone brings out a pitch fork and says how incompetent they are, or “why add it when they know it won’t make the release?” In reality, the amount of new gameplay and features these quarterly updates give is pretty massive compared to any other game.

Compare to a game like Call of Duty. The next season will be releasing next month, but we have no idea what will included. They could have big plans or just tiny, but we have no transparency and thus no expectation for it.

Also consider Call of Duty has multiple massive studios working on the game, and they do close to quarterly updates and all you typically get is one new gun, a small map or two, and maybe a minor new feature or two. Compare that to Star Citizen, whose studios are smaller, and you’ll realize just how much Star Citizen is able to do. I’m glad they’ve reeled in their road maps a bit. People were just too unrealistic in their expectations. Devs have internal road maps all the time that get gutted and altered, but the public never sees them so it doesn’t create any disappointment or outrage. Keep in mind as well, CIG is also working on a massive single player game on top of everything else.

I know it’s frustrating because we all want this game to get to a point where there’s a lot of meaningful and fun gameplay loops to engage in, but the speed and scale at which they’re going is probably one of the best in the game development world. Particularly when you factor in the unprecedented scale of Star Citizen.

Realistically, CIG is a victim of ignorant people talking like they are experts and other ignorant people believing them. There is really nothing abnormal about the process CIG has so far endured in creating Star Citizen. It's pretty par for the course in fact. What people seem to forget is that CIG hired hundreds of employees around the world and build a company from the ground up while doing it. It's also their first game as a company being created so they don't have the advantage of their tools already being created and assets already done from their previous game.

I'm finding it hilarious picturing the names of vape flavors they'd put in SC. Everything in Star Citizen has to be ham-handedly about space, from the music to the JPG hotdogs, so I can't picture they'd break the trend for vape cartridges.

quote:

Students on Rhetor IV (Mentor) quickly discovered that local plum-like fruit — “bilva” — can be used as a base for strong spirit brandy. First it was an amateur “homemade” product known only on Mentor, but it got huge popularity when group of students started smuggling it to Rhetor III (Reisse) campus in 2872. The same three students two years later start Bilva Brandy Brewers company (Mentor based) and brandy – B3 become huge success system wide.

“Hardcore” and expensive version is 160 proof uncut straight brandy (limited edition) served always neat, sold in handcrafted colorful bottles (color palette changes every year). It’s especially popular within the Elite Naval Guard garrison on Rhetor II (Persei). Less extreme consumers prefer Original 100 proof version sold in half liter “unbreakable bottles”; it mixes very well in cocktails (university professor’s favorite drink). B3 smooth is lower alcohol level “mass market” brandy sold in huge variety – from small plastic one-sip containers to huge gallon bottles. B3 smooth never got too popular on Mentor (as students there prefer B3 Original) but it is a huge market success on Reisse where it is present at every student party.

There is also space tequila, which comes -I guess- from space Mexico.

You know my wife had a meltdown when first moving in with me because i had the Japanese style bedroom with matres on the floor .. i just liked it that way not because of my gaming setup.

I did not get it either ... needless to say i now sleep high off the ground, in a very grand bed frame. Apparently the risk of me falling out of bed drunk and hurting myself is not something we should be concerned about.

I also learned social status is also determined by the distance you sleep from the floor. which is what filthy hobos and peasants do.

Fidelitious posted:

Yeah, it always brings to mind those beds where there's like

* bed frame that's about 2 feet high
* sub-box spring adds 1/2 foot
* actual box spring adds 1/2 foot
* mattress adds 1 foot
* mattress topper/protector/whatever adds ~1/2 foot

By the end you need some kind of step ladder to make it up to the bed.

We went as low as we reasonably could. It's about a knee height platform bed because we went with the one that had storage drawers in it that we just put off-season clothing in.

I've still got my trusty ol X52 Pro.
But as I was playing more flight sims, not milsims, got a Logitech yoke, which I've just replaced with a Honeycomb yoke.

That's my story, thanks for listening.

I know it's been said before but all of the Star Citizen lore is the same quality as a teenagers D&D campaign. This entire thing is like Zybourne Clock but it somehow got a third of a billion dollars.

So Star Citizen is supposedly in alpha, correct? And Citizens aren't pledging to a get a ship or whatever, they're really pledging to support the game with no promise to ever get the ship, right? And isn't the purpose of CIG letting players play the PTU to help "beta test" the game? So why doesn't CIG just let every backer "beta tester" have access to every ship, weapon, item, upgrade, and armor? Wouldn't this let more backers test more stuff more quickly and efficiently? Isn't that the whole point of testing?

Goes to the 890 Jump and does the mission. Pirate NPCs stand idly, barely moving and almost never firing

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- Friend shoots above or below AI (the bridge of the 890 mission)
- AI below (in the bar/meeting room) seek cover as if the threat is on their floor.
- anyone going into the bar/meeting room will see the AIs with their back turned/seeking cover against a player in the bridge, despite there being no way to approach that room from that side.

It's been so long!! And now I have so many fun posts to read. I now have a second child, a little boy I call TigerMan. I started racing BMX (a dream I've had since the 80's), I've advanced in my career, bought a new house and moved to a new city, and whatever the gently caress else has happened.

I came back to the thread for the lols and just seeing the little bbcode gifs are killing me. I forgot about dancing sandi and how stupid "evocatiavototo" or whatever the gently caress sounds. I only remember that guys balls. And bootcha's cat video. Oh and the time the warlord inverse double-trolled himself while simultaneously fighting against stolen valor.

lol Star Citizen is never coming out.
