Dynastocles posted:I'm working on starting my own business and the process of figuring out the logistics, supply chain, working out costs and pricing, and talking to suppliers has become an ongoing nightmarish chore. And these people want to do all that, not for actual real money, but in a space game where they could be flying around shooting lasers and having space adventures. To be fair all of this stuff literally exists in EVE, an actual game.

trucutru posted:You can find them in army surplus stores and gun shows. They succkkkk (an exception are the EU ones that are just a bunch of off-the-shelf cans with stuff that people actually voluntarily pay for), not as much as SC of course, but it ain't a good experience unless you're like my cousin who once remarked that dried dog food "was ok". I tried dried cat food when I was a little kid and I actually recall it being pretty good. Savoury.

L. Ron Hoover posted:I still think it's funny that apparently tanks got their name from the WW1 effort to conceal what they were before they were known, making it seem like they were shipping water tanks or something else around. What else should we have called them? Iron shooty bois? Actually, sounds too Orkish for my taste. I mean, the German for tank is Panzerkampfwagen, which means 'armoured fighting vehicle'. Seems reasonable. (And AFV is now the English language term for 'tank-like things' including also e.g. APCs).

Popete posted:I've worked on projects that have dragged on much longer than initially expected and it is not fun for anyone involved. On our side as the company delivering software/hardware because it got very tedious to work on the same project for so many years and still not be done and of course our customer did not enjoy missing their deadlines and having to keep people on the project longer than expected. Ultimately it wasn't one sides fault as it involved changing requirements (sound familiar??) but neither side enjoyed it. Its also pretty lovely for your resume. Employers like to see stuff that shipped.

Blue On Blue posted:it has been said in interviews before with Chris that if a server is needed, it will just SPIN UP like they have an entire server farm sitting idle waiting eagerly for the command to instantly activate for Star Citizen If they're running in AWS or something (so, Amazon's server farm) this is actually possible, large websites do it all the time.

So SteamOS  which is a real thing.

Cutedge posted:but honestly I think a lot of people went to play it and didn't like flying a spaceship in first person. A bunch of people played and still play Tie Fighter and X-Wing: Alliance so I'm not sure that's the problem. More that it was just the same couple of fights over and over.

Strategic Tea posted:Ohhh wait so that's what a standup is? We were behind on schedule at one previous job so genius manager decided it would improve things if we moved from daily to twice daily standups. It did not help. Don't think I've ever worked anywhere that even tried to enforce a literal 1 minute rule though. With a team of half a dozen it'll take about 15-20 minutes, usually, assuming you don't have the one guy who doesn't know when to shut up.

Mailer posted:Eve specifically I can't comment on, but the general MMO social interaction still happens. It just happens outside of the game in fragmented Discord channels. There's something to be said for the tedium in old games driving the social aspect to stave off boredom, but this is the wrong thread if you're into glorifying tedium. For Goonswarm, it was their forums back in the day (which look a lot like these, there was even a SpaceGBS) then people moved to Jabber. Plus you're on third party voice comms on actual ops. So yeah you're not really chatting in-game.
