Fidelitious posted:Indeed, him listing Superluminal as active to the Present is quite the overstatement. I did a quick overview of his website through the internet archives. It hasn't really been updated since 2006 except for blog posts up to 2013 where he opines on financial and other topics, revealing that he is some sort of libertarian rear end in a top hat. To be fair, if you're a scammer at heart (and god knows nobody at CIG's upper ranks would be like this, perish the thought!) then it follows that you would pretend to be a libertarian if you were trying to start a hedge fund. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Scamster? yes. Libertarian? he ain't no monster, I think.

Dwarf Fortress has had fully modelled fidelitous giblets since forever. There was a classic bug where the melting point of Dwarf body fat accidentally got set to 60ºF. This had no effect until the temperature of the dwarf's skin changed, whereupon the body fat of the dwarf would melt and they would die. Such a temperature change could be caused by rain. Any dwarf who went outside when it was raining, would melt to death.

I quite enjoyed the explosively combustible cat blood times, too. Nothing unusual until cat blood escaped the body in any way and then *fwoosh!* There was also a dwarf that had all the fat burned off his body by a dragon or such, somehow survived, and was patched up in the hospital with the only available fabric: adamantium cloth. This turned him more or less invulnerable since he had a pierce/damage proof new skin and nothing left to 'burn' as his fat was gone.

so since this thread is dying slowly every-day with zero action i decided to check out the NFT starcitizen related stuff people have been 'trying' to make star citizen nft's a thing it seems, there are various star citizen NFT's on opensea, but they all have zero trades, and less than 10 views each so i think it will be awhile yet until the SC NFT's really take off! maybe we need a big name to break them out into the metaverse

Because fat was the flammable bit, if you could get a dwarf to survive having that layer burned off, I think they'd be immune to further fire damage effects

Given my profession as a web developer, I did indeed look into Web3. After some reading I have determined that Web3 doesn't actually mean anything at all besides some people going "Heyyy mannn, what if the web was decentralized and on the blockchain?" No concrete details on what that actually means or why it would be a good thing. The only people who care about this nonsense are crypto dorks.

quote:Building "The best drat space simulator" has been their aim for a long time now and the original vision as much as it would have been cool... it would not have met that goal. There's no guarantee that what they're going for now will meet that goal, but quite frankly it's already competing at that level with other games both games that are direct competitors and games that aren't and it has a long way to go so it has a lot of room for improvement that if (and it's still a big if) it can actually improve then I think it very likely will become not just the best drat space simulator out there but potentially the best video game period. quote:

Burkion posted:Theoretically what is server meshing and how could it be implemented. Like what would it allow and how could it change things Originally it was going to be the thing that fulfilled Chris Roberts vision of a single massive server with thousands of players all together at the same time and all items persisting permanently (drop a coffee cup in the woods of a planet and come back 2 months later and it's still there). That has since been down graded by CIG to some franken version of instancing just like every other MMO has ever done but even then the details are very sparse and there are tons of game play considerations such as land claims that now seem contradictory to the original vision of a huge single server. Of course CIG hasn't actually expanded on how this is going to work because it's incredibly obvious to anyone who isn't a die hard backer that they never actually thought it through and "server meshing" is just CIGs excuse to placate backers that they will figure it out someday... hopefully.

Wrong, friendo  Server meshing is using dozens, hundreds, thousands of servers seamlessly in the cloud to provide a seamless experience for all players at all times. Dynamic server meshing will include a single server sometimes representing a huge swath of space, sometimes representing a single capital ship such that a bullet fired from within your server will seamlessly traverse 14 other servers and be observed by players on those servers before embedding itself in another player’s capital ship, hosted in a 15th different server. As a project manager at a Fortune 5000 meat slaughterhouse, I can tell you this will work seamlessly using a pub/sub event driven system in FTR (Faster Than Real-time) architecture. In its tier 0 implementation, Turbulent will be doing the easy work and implementing “static server meshing” which OP notes will use “instancing” techniques because basically the engineers at Turbulent aren’t as smart as those at CIG and they can only implement this kind of simple system. But once they transition to t1 implementation, hoo boy, you better hang on to your kilt, buddy.

Chris Roberts: Just add more servers. That's it. There is no coherent plan or tech behind the whole thing. Theoretically it can be any thing and it can be implemented in any way.

Yeah that all tracks. In theory a single massive super server is possible, but not with the tech we have and probably not for a long rear end time to come. Nevermind the technical nightmares even if it was possible.

Like Popete said, the dream is dead. CIG themselves announced they had no intention of trying it anymore, ten damned years into the project. Yet the citizens are still waiting for it, because the news was dropped in the middle of their painfully dull 7 hour citcon and them just redefining what server meshing was supposed to be.
