Apparently they were so desperate they've released 3.15. Seems like a good way to put off having to talk about how much they had to cut from it.

They've spent 30 minutes explaining how shaders work. All the defenders in chat are talking about is how smart they are and how only dumb people would find it boring.

There's been a solid 3-4 hours spent on the minutiae of technology such as the audio and shaders read robotically from the teleprompter by awkward people. I think the strategy is to be as mind-numbing as possible this year.

I think the server meshing segment confirmed theagent's leak about turbulent slashing server meshing to shards and a capital ship being a server unto itself never seeing anyone else. Some of the streamers are coping as best they can.

Tony Z's been talking about jumptown, which seems like a basic GTA Online supply drop mission, for 20 minutes maybe. The seem to be really jazzed about it being able to happen in multiple locations, with different loot spawns and being able to set how much stuff will spawn. All stuff that was basic 15 years ago.

That's not true at all.
Some of them are also complaining that they'll die of old age before anything is released and that quanta needs to be actually developed, not just talked about. So there, fudster! :colbert:

They are literally discussing how the project is managed, like having programmers work in parallel and main/render thread balancing.

It's important for their customers to receive an avalanche of long-winded jargon that vaguely describes CIG's workflow: it's what they draw from when they defend Star Citizen's honor from FUDsters online. The more walls of text they can throw out about how the game is being worked on (and how fiendishly complicated and revolutionary it must be, because more words used to talk about it = more complicated!), the easier it is for them to avoid addressing what that work has actually produced so far or how quickly it's been done.
