lol.

So, from my slightly hazy look at 2.6, it appears what they've done is addressed the concerns their charman had with the poo poo chat box thing in game, and made a website like the one they already have, and put it 'in game' like EvE has, but also put a poo poo chat box thing in it?

Only it's like facebook massager, only even shitier, and filled with ship sales.

Also, they forgot star marine again, or its already in it, it's part of 2.0 probably. I bet Crobbers gets really irritated when the people who pay for his splendour ask him where it is.

I want the next livestream to be Crobberts strangling Disco. Like fade in, he's strangling him ala Homer and Bart Simpson, and it continues like that with no talking. Then when Disco is dead, Chris faces the camera, heaving through his teeth and sweating, and just stares into the camera at the audience for the rest of the allotted time. Then fade out.


I have nothing against Disco, I just want to see the cultists find a way to make it positive.

Well, it would make a welcome change from seeing Ben facing the camera, heaving through his teeth, sweating.

It's a bit like calling a Gynecologist a "Vagina miner" when they stumble upon a gold dental filling. I'm going off the subject a bit, but my point is that "Computer engineer" as a job title/description sounds like they wanted to state their vast pretend knowledge of electronic hardware to gain authority and awe (maybe even a pokey bum wank) amongst the less electronically savvy without actally having a clue what they were talking about.

I imagine their actual occupation resides somewhere between "PC world checkout staff" and "Unemployed". :shrug:

Computer engineers exist (they're a licensed profession in Canada), but using that credential to give his opinion about programming is probably laughable since like Melkor said, they deal with computer hardware primarily.

Guess it all depends on what you call "playing Star Marine".

Please don't go into hiding MoMA, we don't hold anything against you. We know, it's pretty drat hard to shill effectively when CIG gives you so little to work with, and us so much.

Can you prove the massage rods were his? Do you have receipts? Maybe his roommates all got them and brought them to the dorm.

Computer engineering is about halfway between electrical engineering and computer science in a lot of ways.

CS is mostly programming and algorithms, depending on how you specialize.
EE is about electrical circuits, and you can get into power electronics, analog circuits, even materials.

CompE is more like transistor layouts and assembly language. I started out in CS and decided I hated it, swapped to CE and found it much better for me. Eventually in grad school they lump EE and CE together and just call it "Electrical and Computer Engineering" which they stamp on your degree as well.

Yo TheAgent, what's goin on man, I feel dirty pulling this stuff from the starcitizen_leaks thread and not getting this from you, but hey, here we go:

quote:


  • How is Star Marine?

    Simple as gently caress, but reasonably fun. Although you really need to watch your radar to not get instantly shot in the back. Damage seems a bit random, crit% might need turning down. I really like the "muted" sound effects when in zero g. Haven't tried the second map yet.

  • How are the new ships if they are testable?

    They did that thing where they didn't unlock all ships (they really wants us only doing star marine right now) and I don't own any of the new ones.

  • Did they improve ANY netcode so you can squeeze a few more frames out of the PU?

    Haven't played much of the PU yet

  • Star Marine frames?

    forgot to turn fraps on, but framerate didn't seem too bad, I was probably getting 40 something just eyeballing it

  • Leak them patch notes!

    they really don't say anything interesting, basically it's "Go play Star Marine, because we're still working on the flight mechanics, and don't loving spawn a Caterpillar or we're kicking you out of testing!"

  • Other random poo poo: The Helmet outline is much less annoying now. Graphics and textures much prettier now. UI elements are much improved. Except the "use" icon. They actually made that even more annoying. Afterburner is gone, Boost is gone, cruise is gone, there is only the boosburnerusie gestalt now. Still have no idea how you upshift into the mode where it doesn't burn boost fuel, or is there is one yet. Flight is much better than it was in the first pass of the flight changes, but I still wish the SCM's speed were higher. Ship Gun velocities (at least the one's I had) seem much better. The pips of the Gladius' default loadout are actually close enough to be sort of usable now. MXS lasers are red now. Either the vanduul drones had their armor beefed up or gun damage is stupid low now.
Also, datamining the launcher (or however they do it) confirms level packs from Star Marine have been sent out.
