the Orb of Zot posted:...wait, the virtual ships that people have been buying don't even exist in the sense you can use them in the game? I thought the JPEG thing was a joke! Not just that, some people pay more for pictures of extra bits to go on the picture of their spaceship jpeg, and some stuff has been sold without even a picture to assist with the fantasy. sincx posted:And why is MadCatz still around? Maybe not for much longer. No great loss. They make broken garbage hardware. Loiosh posted:It's for MFDs (multi-function displays). It allows you to stay HOS (hands on stick) but still manipulate a cursor. In Star Citizen it'll get a similar use for radar display/target designation/EWACS. Supposedly the next preview will include the new GUI for multicrew ships, including the updated radar display. Seems like it'd be way more fiddly than a ministick, and also potentially useless for thrusters, something which would be far more helpful in a "game" like Star Citizen. If they haven't put in some kind of thruster specific controls they've already made a HOTAS that's worse than the 20+ yr old design of the CH Throttle.

For a group of people seemingly so convinced of the superiority of their game of jpegs and dreams, the Star Citizen faithful sure do spend a lot of time worrying about what the good Dr Smart is doing. One might see that as a sign of a lack of confidence in their Lord and Saviour Christ Robbers.

Crybaby redditors got so butthurt over jpegs and gifs mocking their jpegs that they created a bot to auto-report them. This backfired when it took down a bunch of their images too. They have rewritten the narrative however so the story now is that it was a goon created bot made to harrass the poor innocent redditors.

Takes some big loving balls to show off the fancy pants office you're building using crowd sourced cash when you've got close to gently caress all in the way of an actual game after 4 years of work. They're a shower of cunts but I like that they've realised they can do basically whatever the gently caress they want at this point and the faithful will lap it up.

It's not great overall but does some interesting speculation on the future of warfare. More Joe Haldeman talk - check out Tool of the Trade. Not his best or best known work but it's a fun, quirky little book and only a short read.

Loiosh posted:I like comparing development to other games that have gone through major revisions in their own histories for comparison, which is why I mentioned Halo, Destiny and AC as examples of games that have had major revisions during their development. (One fundamental engine redesign with a complete art and asset scrap, one a complete story and MP redesign, and one a full art and asset scrap) But those were made by people with a recent track record of finished products, not a washed up Hollywood wannabe who hasn't made a game for over a decade because he badly mismanaged his last project in a way that's so eerily familiar it's still amazing to me that so many people think jpegs of the sun shine out his arse. You keep saying that we're just seeing these things because it's such an open development but...that's bollocks. CIG has the pretense of being open (and fair play it's another good bit of marketing) yet they are very careful about what they show and everything of substance we've seen that isn't playable has yet to be proven to be anything more than smoke and mirrors. Croberts stands on stage waving a script the size of a phone book then plays a video of constipated Gary Oldman and nobody questions where the actual core of the game is. If it's not related to making money now it's all just a big question mark. Revealing the inner workings of game development is not anything unique in the era of the Kickstarter project. Difference being other games have a clear direction resulting in tangible progress. After 4 years and however many millions of dollars all Star Citizen has is a terrible arena shooter and a 3d chat room that looks like it was slapped together by scifi fans in Second Life. Oh, and glitchy buggies, arguably its strongest feature.

And they can use him for PR too, it's not like you'd notice the difference between him and their current PR team. But what if he broke his arm or stubbed his toe? Think of the delays.

Loiosh posted:One of my pet peeves is bad capture setups. As someone with a nice if messy setup: http://chattypics.com/viewer.php?file=Studio15JPG_vqefw2grl1.jpg - The inability to get good footage is a problem. They actually did show some footage from the master build of the new Connie in a test location, but their capture rig for some reason was at under 15 FPS on capturing. The really odd thing is in the video you can see that the actual display is at least at 30 FPS-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWmrP7DTE04&t=27m08s but when captured it's much slower. They're spending some thousands of dollars on mocap gear, but are unable to capture decent in game footage. This is fine, everything is going well.

Unfortunately they forget to swap the placeholder text with the actual name so it just said POTATO. I should clarify there was no proof that the name he revealed was right but it was an odd coincidence that the ship name ended up being POTATO for a while. Certainly seemed like he made them panic a little and they hosed up in an amusing manner.

Rad Russian posted:Very good point and why I stopped using PayPal for any purchases over $50. Unless you're using some sketchy debit card you want to protect behind PayPal, always pay directly with credit card. Always. Especially if you own some premium ones (AMEX, Chase Sapphire etc.) they pretty much have no questions asked instant chargeback to your account after which the vendor has to PROVE beyond all reasonable doubt that they delivered and to 100% of my satisfaction. I've never had a chargeback go back to vendor yet. In the UK any purchase of £100 - £30,000 on a credit card falls under the 'Section 75' rules, which means the credit card company has the same responsibilities as the retailer if something goes wrong. It's very strong protection against shenanigans, and is a good reason why it's worth having a card for big purchases even if you don't need the line of credit.
