Lammasu posted:Kind of a stupid question but do servers cost more to run when they have more players in them? If they are using AWS and it's variety of features, yes. The exciting thing about Amazon is how it does costing. It all looks super cheap and viable initially, and they even give you a huge amount of free processes. Once you get up to any kind of scale though, you can get crushed fast. All these costs add up, all your cool interconnections all have a charge associated with them, the interfaces between them have a cost, and depending on how integrated you went with AWS, your running cost can be pretty expensive. Is it expensive for someone like cig with millions of dollars and they're buying real estate all over the world like it's candy? Shouldn't be.

PTU has giant battles with 100 players and there will be an in-person event for building ships with Lego bricks. My faith is restored, buying 3 idriseses.

Normally his posts are somewhat coherent albeit totally ridiculous and based off of made up talking points. This particular post is way more unhinged and scattered than usual, and I say that as a connoisseur with deep appreciation for Monocle Cat’s lunatic ravings. I hope he gets the opportunity to orally pleasure someone for hours before things get any worse

Some day people will make the connection that this is not "looking ahead", it's failing to understand technology at your disposal and using it wisely, and bad programming techniques and methodology used. It's just failure, sorry.

Considering they started over a decade ago, the available tech has already eclipsed what they thought they'd be able to build it on, and they still can't get it done.

This is from a few days ago. There I go, dredging up the distant past. Citizens hate it! Exhibit 1: There's 4 million Citizens, right? Says so right in the picture. Exhibit 2: A tweet from the official account: 3 days later, 250 likes, 30 comments. Now, I'm no math jenius, I'm no Alan Turing or John Nash, with their "find x" nonsense (x isn't a number, it's a letter, silly!), but that looks like an engagement rate of 0.00625% to me. Something isn't adding up.

The broad trend of "idol worship" of people seems very unhealthy to me, like if you're the sort of person who follows every bit of news about someone, it just doesn't seem good. There are probably some people who would be interesting/fun to meet but I just can't grasp taking so much interest in someone's life that you've never even met and certainly aren't your friend. That said, if I were to worship someone like that, it sure as poo poo wouldn't be the workforce at some crappy game studio.

https://twitter.com/cmd_Terada/status/1549521872504717312 I imagine this took a ton of coordination to put together as some sort of crowning achievement, and it still looks dull and boring as gently caress (also wait for the couple of ships that randomly blow up anyway towards the end).

Is it still the case that burning effect is only there when you're in the upper atmosphere, but disappears when you're lower even if you maintain same velocity? I also seem to remember that you also burned from front when you were reversing. I assume that yes, since it was done for that one demo in 2014 or something and nobody touched it since. Or maybe it's my imagination, who knows

Only losing a couple of players to ship jank actually feels like an improvement lol A decade of dev and server instability is still a thing, the true genuis of The Code Whisperer

commando in tophat posted:I also seem to remember that you also burned from front when you were reversing. Star citizen actually simulates the state of the air molecules in contact with your ship so I highly doubt that is the case, have you checked your HOME COCKPIT GAMING RIG is set up correctly and can actually run the minimum specs? E: actually it looks like this can happen in limited circumstances because the quantums of the air are injected from the meshing servers in front of your ship. This is because they need to simulate the same particles in the same places on all players' clients simultaneously. I think it's a bit ungrateful to be moaning about that when you really consider...
