I wrote a script to scrape the Frontier store. The total cost of all cosmetics as of like a month ago was five dollars less than an Idris. Game + expansion is still cheaper than just about every Star Citizen game package.

hakimashou posted:Whats the highlights from the shitshow thing? Game's priorities are on fluff instead of focussing purely on function and gameplay, developers showed off how hilariously easy it is to get your $400 ship griefed while you're off doing a mission that took you an hour to get to, and there's another $400 ship on sale now with a bed in the upper deck's open floor plan for you Captain Kirk types out there.

Chev posted:Regarding why it's favorable, it's easy: it's the only way to avoid cheating and desynchronization. You're mostly right regarding the scale, though like all physics problems the complexity can at least be brought down somewhat by good clustering of objects. There's that other crowdfunded space game that was linked in here, kinda minecraft in space but with round planets and all, that claimed to do that, they had a nifty demo video with wireframe cubes showing the dynamic clustering but heck if I remember how that was called, though that probably only brings you up to a couple hundreds. Beyond that the only real answer is simpler physics and avoiding direct manipulation so lag matters less, which is why actual MMOs like Wow clones or Eve don't have twitch gameplay. Sounds like you were talking about Dual Universe? That game is also going Eve-like with how weapons work.

I applied to CIG for a copywriter position they had advertised earlier in the year partially because I was offended by the quality of prose on display, and partly because I really want to turn far too many years of writing and editing into profit. When I checked back a long time after to see what was up (I didn't even get a rejection letter from an HR robot) they denied that there was ever such a listing after making me get an account on their HR system. Chris Roberts eats his editorial staff.

Learning C++ in high school was a miserable experience. C# and Java in tertiary was much nicer. Learning Python on my own initiative in the workplace and getting my job done a lot faster was even better.

PederP posted:Yeah, C++ is not a good choice for high school level courses. And Python as a productivity tool when you already know what you're doing is perfectly fine. But at university-level or some self-teaching who wants to be a good programmer, I don't think there is any escaping C++. Not that there is any reason to avoid it - it's a perfectly good language to work with, even if it is not the best choice for all tasks. Yeah, a bad teacher makes it a lot harder to learn, especially if they don't have any real understanding of programming themselves and are just running off coursework without being able to offer much help. Learning C# has helped me going back into C++, and I quite agree with what Nalin has to say. I've made a few things in GameMaker, and by the time you're aware of the scripting-related weirdness in the engine, you've probably got a good enough idea of what you want to do in Unity.

The lore is offensively bad and fashy, and for all they asked "Wouldn't it be cool if you could own your own passenger liner and serve Hairy Roberts??" they never asked what the gently caress that means in a world where everyone and every vehicle bigger than a golf cart is armed to the teeth. It's pretty telling that the closest results to lore discussion on /r/starcitizen are an illustrated rough timeline of the game's story (lol 'knife era') and "Hey why aren't there droids in the year 28whatever?).

Mr. Despair posted:I think it's supposed to be a gas tube or similar, except it's a short recoil system based on the barrel moving, so it's probably safe to say that they just don't know how guns work and wasted a bunch of everyone's time. Nah. It's a two-shot burst that's still inexplicably bolt-action. But according to gun nuts on Reddit, these ridiculous nonsensical weapons are actually totally okay and in keeping with their manufacturer's flavour.

Re: Hazeronchat over the last few pages, I am down for Hazeron if we can get a group interested, even for like a month. Teamwork is OP, and in the last free-to-play hurrah of Hazeron, a goon raiding party had a great time just going around the universe. Hastily thrown together Discord invite link for planning and stuff. The game is a hot mess but there's absolutely nothing else like it out there, and it'd be neat to see how the game has come along. We might as well get one stupidly ambitious space game with (more or less) seamless spaceflight and first-person shipwalking out of this thread.

I lost my grandfather about ten years ago, and I wish I had known about his hidden love for sci-fi. It was only through sheer luck that I found a couple anthologies in a big box of things that were getting thrown out, and I treasure them to this day. I'm sure that he'd think Star Citizen is stupid and bad on every level. e: added relevant cat

It's CIG's love of flash over substance in miniature.
