Update on the e-reader front

after breaking my Kobo Aura's screen yesterday (by literally pressing my thumb on it) I got myself a Kindle Voyage

It's a pretty good catte no fur though

Voyage is a good e-reader!

I personally believe that QuakeWorld and its descendants have the best netcode. Maybe CRobbers can download the GPL'd Quake engine and learn how to create playable servers over 56k phone lines.

Perhaps they can go back to text adventures. Imagination is the best immersion!

Thanks Commando! The song is Rebound by Arty and Matt Zo. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to EDM, but that tune always gets my hairs prickled. I should credit the song on the vid, but I'm afraid youtube will get all triggered and pull the audio.

I had to do some work in my audio editing sw to time it just right, but well worth I think. Glad you appreciated that.

Yes, I am a big fan of Arty and Matt Zo! Their Mozart is one of my favorite tracks ever, though maybe not so good for ramming.

The rings aren't rotating predictably like some lesser fidelity games would do! Star Citizen models the hamsters running in the wheels, spinning the gears which are in turn rotating the rings.

Are they procedurally generated hamsters? I need this level of fidelitousness.

The true genius is not revealing it - when you're asking for charity to make a game, the last thing you want to reveal is something promising.

Very much against the principles of open development, making one's development open. Clearly, I know a thing or two about game design.

I literally just wrote this code. And it works. This is real life.

code:

	
void Update () {

        if (Input.GetButton("PaaarpHorn")) {
            availablePaaarp += PaaarpAccumulationDelta();

        } else if (Input.GetButtonUp("PaaarpHorn")) {
            paaarpHornSound.Play();
            PaaarpRigidbodiesInRange(transform.position, paaarpRadius);

        } else if (availablePaaarp > Mathf.Epsilon)
        {
            availablePaaarp -= PaaarpAccumulationDelta();
        }

}

Someone might want to buy them for their well-oiled JPEG sales software. As far as I can tell, it's the only really well tuned part of their offerings.

Checked out the free fly weekend early on and gotta say, wasn't exactly impressed. Buuut with the patches I went ahead and picked up an Avenger Stalker package to check out how things are comin' along, and y'all should give it another shot. Once you do a little investment into a ship that matches your personality, things click a lot more and it starts to be pretty fun.

There's a point between comfortable and opulence where the returns diminish rapidly. I'll let the thread decide where CIG land on this spectrum.

Yes.

I knew someone who worked at a company back in the 1999 dotcom insanity that really went all out for their employees. Amazing chairs, any computer equipment you wanted. They would bring in 3 meals a day and do your laundry and groceries for you. I thought it was pretty insane at the time. But the thing it, all that was in service of encouraging their programmers to stay at work foerever. The extra 20-40 hours a week they were coding was worth way more than all the perks.

I don't really see that with the CIG luxuries. They seem to be status symbols, to show that they are doing well, rather than investments to help increase productivity, put employees at ease, or make their product better.

You're right. Also, if all these amazing features were so great, why does CIG have such a huge, disproportionate turnover in staff?

So during Louis XV's reign in France, a few decades before the revolution, the country was balls deep in debt with no ability to tax its nobility. To keep the creditors satisfied, his money guy thought up a system of "useful splendor" - spend ludicrous amounts of cash on frippery to give the impression that the Royalty was flush with cash

It worked for a while I guess then they were all killed

I worked at a place that refused to buy any coffee except those horrible Folger's things where the coffee is prepackaged inside the filter and produces coffee that is both foul tasted and watery as hell (and reportedly the GM would actually yell at you if you used two of them at once, though I never personally witnessed it). It made me angry every time I had a cup of it.

Speaking of coffee, I'm out of cream and had to use 1%. I feel grief.

An old workplace of mine switched from amazing Peet's coffee to some generic OfficeCo brand to save money. So instead of quickly running to the kitchen, grabbing a cup, and then going back to our desks, we all started taking 20 minute breaks to go out and get coffee.
