I can't help but notice there are over 2,000 views on that video now- and I didn't link it anywhere else. Surely there aren't that many redditors lurking this thread?

The meltdowns in that comment section are amazing. I appreciate their deep monetary investment in my free entertainment. Sarsapariller posted:I can't help but notice there are over 2,000 views on that video now- and I didn't link it anywhere else. Surely there aren't that many redditors lurking this thread? They could not let this video of bugs in an alpha stand without reminding everyone that it's a pre-pre-alpha and how amazing the game really is. Every comment where someone unironically thanks CiG for taking their money and making GBS threads in their mailbox is nice too.

If you do another one, please make the video title more positive, you'll get more hits and the citizens are so far gone that they'll be watching the third bug because they realise it's meant to be funny and a few will likely never figure it out.

ShredsYouSay posted:Er, 128 bit precision would be more than enough for a galaxy. This is one of the design decisions Frontier got right. They were looking forward. Mayhap when 1TB of RAM (in 7 years time) they could seamlessly load entire galaxies at 1:1 precision. Right now, our machines can't take it. But even if its there, doesn't mean they need to use it as well.

Will do. I got about 10x the video footage during a very brief search but the backing track I wanted to use was only two minutes long, so I have a ton of material for another.

do pilots generally change their callsign? I mean, he's called 'Old Man' because he's old but what callsign did he have before that? It make none sense

Hmm, Kurt_M actually commented on the bug video 14 hours ago, well before the Reddit thread. He made the second comment at that. I wonder if he reads this one.

starkebn posted:do pilots generally change their callsign? I mean, he's called 'Old Man' because he's old but what callsign did he have before that? They do, but they don't change callsigns themselves--callsigns change when your squadron mates decide to give you a new one. They're like nicknames, only an idiot tries to make his own. Also, no one in the Navy would have "Old Man" as their callsign. The Old Man is the CO, no one else.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:This is poo. It's derivative, unimaginative, trope ridden poo floating in a toilet bowl overflowing with cliches. He's Gary Sue. His flaw is that he's too drat good and he cares too much. And the writing, is shoddy and full of, commas where they don't need to be. There is absolutely nothing compelling or interesting about it. The handle is particularly bad. While not original either (but you get a pass since we are dealing with archetypes and a simple story from the word go) your description of the character make me feel like there is room for it to grow, unlike the dribble from our favorite script writer/space cadet, Chris "Mushmouth" Roberts

imagine how sheltered you have to be to not empathize with someone who works in awful conditions like, in their head they have a nice life where they don't work in a sweatshop because they deserve it, not because they werent born into poverty in a hellhole

AlmightyPants posted:It would be absolutely amazing if they end up releasing Star Citizen as a free to play game with premium spaceships or whatever. They're already doing a free to play type model, wherein whales dump cash all over the place to get a leg up. The only thing missing is a game at this point. This might be the only model able to pay for the infrastructure after the initial "buy in" funds dry out. SC wont have the broad appeal of generic fantasy like WOW to be purely susbscription based and cant rely on asia cheaper artists/coders like GW2 to be "Buy to play". I dont have the numbers, but i would not be surprised if 10% of the "Citizens" are buying 80+% of the ships during the sales, making the current model pretty close to "Freenium" numbers already.

octopode do you want to say that you were dumb about the suffering remark you don't even have to admit you pretend to be an expert about everything to defend your stupid loving game but you could at least back off the suffering thing and then i can stop posting about it
