Crobert's tendency to promise various modules "in two weeks" and hilariously missing every single one. I'd link the con where the most "two weeks" promises were made originally, but it seems they purged their twitch channel of old broadcasts. Smart move imo

Two weeks from now CIG will release the game and it will work two weeks from now and two weeks from now there will be more nerdgasms from the release two weeks from now that the entire world will be flooded with semen two weeks from now.

Roberts promised some feature or release a year or something ago at a presentation and said it would be out in two weeks. It took two months. (Or longer).

He and his wife Chelsea were both really friendly with me when I was in Santa Monica back in January. Frankly everybody there is both really chill and seems very happy to be working on this.

This is a pretty interesting interview:
  • Because turrets and their tracking are a separate instance from where they point in the 'world' instance, I wonder if shooting lag will be an issue for turret gunners
  • Their instance model doesn't render things far away which is how they can optimize the engine. I can't imagine this will work well in fleet flights
  • They are already crunching, 2+ years before release. There will be blood
  • Guy is super optimistic about the transparency. I can relate, but once poo poo starts hitting the fan deadlines are missed I bet his perspective will change. Mine sure did

Well, CIG has already crossed that Rubicon, so I'd guess they've learned how to deal with it.

This dude has 80 episodes of a 2 hour long podcast about a game that is barely playable. I'm pretty sure his opinion on the game is set in stone by now.

This type of system will be worse that that. Imagine the meta having to hand-shake between an Aussie spun server and an 'Merican one. Or their going to have to have three-four central locations with matching master servers.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the dev and not the podcast dude. He's worked at some big lovely publishers and seems pretty happy to be open about everything (except the coke)

Come to think of it, the next stretch goals should be higher wages for everybody

This freaked me out when I first heard about it a year ago. Seems like CIG crunches before most public demos. They claim it's voluntary, but...

I don't want to support that kind of development.

I'm staying away from Samsung for a bit, waiting for them to sort out their poo poo.

I admit, the non-planar flash is appealing, but I can't help but wonder that there's some problem with the new tech that they haven't found out about yet. There seems to be no fix for the 840 EVO's problems, aside from a tool that periodically copies old data around, and that doesn't bode well.

EDIT: Besides, I'm pretty sure my next drive is going to be m.2 or PCIe anyways.

Oh dear, I don't think you understand the business side of this. If you miss a deadline, all you have to do is tell the writer in the cubical across the room to come up with a couple paragraphs describing a new X class ship from Y alien race and sell it for $250. Your missed deadline is now fully bought and paid for and you can go back to snorting coke and playing with NERF guns.
