Dropping $300 on a Timney trigger seems silly until that first pull. It makes a world of difference.

Why would you need a gun like that? Why would you spend that much money on such a thing?

The fact you ever put that much money into the hands of Chris Roberts makes me wonder if you judgement is sound enough to have what is clearly a killing machine.

I like you Beer, I've enjoyed many of the things you have written for a long time, pre-SA, you seem like a swell guy, could you help a guy from a country that you can't even buy a hand gun understand why you should be able, and want to, buy any assault rifle?

Honest question. Thanks.

Because it's fun.

Think of it this way: sex has practical applications, but that's not why we do it. Guns are the same way.

I've given this three times now. I want to see SQ42 drop in its entirety next year (2017) and real progress made with the (star)systems. That is to say, everything that alpha 4.0 was touted to be - should be in 2017.

You know what will make it go faster? More money. Keep pledging!

T'was the day before Christmas, when all through the 'verse,
Not a paid shill was typing; not even to curse.
The fluff posts were ready to publish and share,
In hopes that St Chris would release something rare!

The poo poo'zens were nestled safe in their subreds,
While visions of Idrises danced in their heads,
And Derek in Twitter and I in Discord,
Had finished recapping another years' fraud.

When out from the thread there arose such a chatter;
Tabbed over from Redtube to ask what's the matter.
Away to the Reddit I flew like a flash,
To find all the suckers there pledging more cash!

Illusions of progress had started to slow,
And it looked like next year they had nowhere to go...
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a new engine logo, pushing dev time back years!

"subreds" god damnit I was looking for THAT VERY WORD

'Twas the night before Paarpmas, and all through the 'Verse,
Not a backer was pledging, for it just got worse

Delusions were posted on Reddit with care,
In hopes that St. Christopher soon would be there;

Citizens were nestled all snug in their beds,
While autism chariots danced in their heads

Titanic with her iceberg, and I with by bunnes,
Had just finished a season of Friends reruns

When out of the blue there came a new Tweet,
I sprang from the chair to the Warlord's drumbeat

Away to the forums I flew like a flash,
I refreshed the thread and stroked my moustache

The goons were elated, while MoMA was stunned,
Chris Roberts had finally run out of funds

When, what to my wondering eyes do I see,
The Warlord himself is now claiming a V

A "washed-up developer", so salty and tart,
I knew in a moment it must be D_Smart.

More wordy than EULAs his topics they came
He tweeted, and posted, and blogged them by name:

"Now! Archer, now! Legal, now! Lesnick and Lando,
"On! Sandi, on! Zendesk, you're snowflakes, commandos!

"To the federal building! To the town city hall!
"Now litigate! Litigate! Litigate all!"

As interns that 'fore the bankruptcy will flee,
When parted with paycheck, sans college degree;

So up to the jailhouse the p'licemen they flew,
With the car full of staff - and St. Christopher too:

And then in a minute, I heard in the thread
The anger of backers was fin'lly widespread

As I refreshed the thread, and was getting right sauced
A new blog from D_Smart, so smug and aroused

He typed in all caps, was having a cow
His sources were leaking: "Apocolypse, Now!"

A bundle of links were slapp'd right at the end,
His first July blog post, "Read it!" he contends

His eyes - how they twinkled! His hairline, how thinning,
Old Greybeard had won; on his chair he sat spinning

His poo poo-eating grin displayed a bright glow,
And his message was thus: "loving told you so!"

"They switched the game's engine", he wrote with a curse.
"There is always more, and it is always worse!"

The crossed arms of colbert he showed with an air
He cackled with glee, and leaned back in his chair

His post had that rhythm, that rhyme, and that station
"Forty-two is eighty-sixed, sweet vindication!"

But I saw him exclaim, when this fire he set alight
"Happy Paarpmas to all, and to all a good night!"

He's talking bullshit about the infrastructure. Clustering and Swarming are completely different technologies, so he's just invoking 'der cloud' there. Clustering is balancing, swarming is capacity management.

Back in the early days, you could spunk UDP at things. Then people started loving with the stream for competitive advantage, so everything moved to transactions, and for a limited amount of traffic, all was good.

The problem they have scaling up the number of clients in any single volume of space is the updates required between the client and server; weirdly, even today, automagic scaling is something that keeps people busy for loving weeks - if you're interested, Netflix literally publishes everything they produce on scaling out video delivery.

Eve Online is pretty much the game for this, mainly due to it's 'single shard' claim, and they literally built out new ways to do things, from a memory only database to the largest collection of SSDs gathered together; it's not a new problem.

Right... right, yes, fidelity. Yep I understand these words. Yep 64 bit that'll be there too. And procedurally generated.

Basically what you're saying is that there will be procedurally generated rendering in the cloud, and all the polygons are 64 bit voxels, just with a Lumberyard frontend to handle the client-server communication. Fuckin... sign me right the gently caress up.
