Booblord Zagats posted:So Star Citizen dev Disco Lando likes debating the meaning of the word truth and the observable nature of fact Wow and the argument itself is the kind of bullshit philosophical judo that first year undergrads try to use. "My beliefs are just as valid as your facts, man! The methods you use to define your facts can't prove themselves!" Yeah, well, the important distinction is that a sufficient body of empirical evidence can be used to make predictions and then test them. For instance: upon seeing the empirical evidence of 2.0's current state, I predict that you will be back to selling hotdogs at the stadium in a year or so. Edit: Oops not him. Why would multiple people be named disco lando? Are they all white dudes? Sarsapariller fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Nov 23, 2015 |

Lord_NeckBeard posted:I bet the reason that Lord Smart is going all "it ain't coming out" is that they took out a bunch of loans and have actually spent around $90 million, but without much of anything to show, and a fuckton of debt. If they have loans to pay off, then the inevitable slide in revenue = bankruptcy. They CAN'T just reduce staff as they need to if they also have a mortgage to pay off. It's been speculated that the reason people have been getting refunds from multiple sources is because they need to maintain certain account minimums as a condition of their loans.

It takes some balls to promote your membrane keyboard as being in the same league as microswitches. Edit: I meant CIG rather than Corsair.

It's good when your employees are dedicated enough to do this, and it speaks well for him. It however, does not speak well for management that they need to ask employees to do that. And in the long run, it's very bad for releasing a quality product, since you constantly have amateurs jumping into things and trying to learn as they go.

I think that was the old technology corsair, the leds are separate from the board now or something and it doesn't happen or happens way less. I'd never had a mechanical keyboard before and after a couple of years thinking about it and being put off by the noise, I preordered the stealth strafe. Still getting used to it but I like it. Mrs hasn't complained yet so I think it's quiet enough.

So just like every new ship they release, their custom made HOTAS will allow you to do whatever you want with it, it's the mary sue of joysticks lol, why did we expect any less from croberts? Want 3 joysticks and 2 throttles and a keyboard? Sure friend, plug it all in... I'm sure it will work 100% right out of the box. Also the fact they'll ship them with no appreciable game to play them with is just icing

Sappo569 posted:Also the fact they'll ship them with no appreciable game to play them with is just icing It's interesting that delivery is May 2016, the last month before the modified TOS refund entitlement kicks in. I think they are hoping to get SQ42 out for May, considering they started referring to AC 2.0 as the baby PU, even though it's current not got any persistence at all. I fully expect them to start referring to the baby SQ42, as long as they can point to a component as delivered they have helped cover themselves legally. So they might get away with 5, 10 or 15 missions. Must be a hell of a mark up on the keyboards.
