- "Romulo has been doing the player refactor and moving armour over to the new Item 2.0"

How the gently caress do you refactor the player? Are they breaking into people's homes and giving them stem cell treatments now?

I'm sorry to anyone who knows anyone, but these are not developers talking. I no longer buy the whole “the devs are trying, but Chris is stupid” narrative. They're all incompetent, clueless, amateur, charlatans playing pretend.

EA screwed up from bundling it with the modern warfare remaster(cant get it separately) which is the reason a lot of people are giving it bad reviews, just look at the steam page, they have <1hr played etc.

More on Knowledge/Skill based economies and movable boxes.

quote:

While you are correct, and I agree, lets put this in perspective. Let's talk Logistics. Loading/unloading a Hull was originally sold as something very skill based. You had to not only keep the ships balanced, but in the case of multiple stops, you had to keep the next stop accessible. The job of Loadmaster was supposed to be a sought out job as the logistics of of loading a ship is actually not something everyone can wrap their brain around (most can't, you need to be able see space in your head before even touching a single box.).

People threw fits (and still are). How dare they make loading skill based? How dare they make it something they can't do afk with alt? How dare they make it last more then one tenth of second?

BAM! Loading is now automated, except for a few places, and it's Tetris Online...something a 5 year old can do...because people want a skill based game...until it's a skill they don't have. And only a few of us have the natural skills for Logistics. When you take something like hauling and remove any Logistical skills from it, there is no hauler occupation, just alts afk flying everywhere, and those of us who wanted something unique move on to other things becuase anyone can and is doing it by themselves.

The only skill needed is how many alts can run at one time to maximize profit. Nealy every game with industry has been quickly dragged down to that. No skill involved, just how many alts can you manipulate to run a shipping fleet, or a alt factory, or a trading conglomerate. Alt'ing and Google-foo is not a skill, but in industrial gaming, it's the only barrier to success. Im hoping SC will be different. Logisitics has kinda soured me a bit, but still hopefull.

quote:

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

35 minutes of Star Citizen. He starts really happy, gets the drop on a guy but gets shot, does it again and dies again, starts trash talking another guy about being "good", drops to 1-2 FPS, moans and exits game, tries to load again but game fails to load, moans some, gets the drop on another guy but ends up dead again.

Seems to be in a bad mood now.

In a space game where the only functioning gameplay mechanic is buying jpegs, a jpeg sale is what's bringing the whole thing down.

And in spite of all the obvious bullshittery that's happened over the years, the tipping point is that my exclusive jpegs are now slightly less exclusive and that's not fair. The community is great.

It doesn't even make any sense. If these are AI driven then why aren't they just heading for the first vacant chair and avoiding the whole bumping into each other bit altogether? Yet again their dedication to 'fidelity' has produced something completely unnatural looking.

Because the bottom left space is probably first position on the list in the space-table's data structure. It is easier to get the first valid element in a list than it is to iterate through the list, calculate the absolute distance between each element and select the valid position with the shortest distance.

Surely they are demonstrating a WIP and have already fixed it, but it's CIG so you never know. I'm sure if you were working on it and not thinking about it too hard, you'd go with the first solution before realising what a dumb mistake you've made.
