Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Yea, it really isn't fair to put a price on a video game either, they're hard to make.

Making CryEngine more advanced for the rigors of space!!! I really don't get that, it's loving space. It's one step up from the background that 3D modelers get in their program by default. Space rendering technology essentially peaked at the star field windows screensaver.

Is CryEngine still in favor? I thought since Unreal 4 and Unity 5 came out it was getting trounced and is barely being used, the only reason it was saved was because Amazon paid millions to license it. So making it more advanced is technically a waste of time. Besides the fact that the engine itself has to be beaten into submission to make it do what they want because it wasn't conceived to do space physics and vehicles.

So. "The Big Debate" can now refer to two things:

1. The disagreement between astronomers regarding the size and nature of the universe, specifically if it extends beyond our Galaxy.

Or

2. Arguments between Shitizens about fishing in Star Citizen.

I know they've had the african american guy with the "money" hat on every time since The Escapist's exposee on sandi and racism and all the rest.

I've never watched one of their streams, does he actually contribute or do they have him sit there for the camera?

He's an "editor" of some sort. From the little I've seen he doesn't actually know much about the game and usually just sits in the background.

What would you say if a goon had made it impossible for many other goons to fish in peace by breaking a Fishing Pact that they had established which allowed them to fish without fear of molestation or harassment?

I was trying to make a new AdVenture Captialist avatar gif, with rotating pictures in the magic ball. Then I saw Sandi in the ball and thought about it. I thought about how much Sandi has done to herself, and that it'd be better if she left gracefully. And then I remembered that movie title "Gone Baby Gone". And I thought "Oh, she's gone, baby".

No, I have no information nor premonition that Sandi is leaving. Gawd.

I interpreted it more as getting a 3pm call and hearing panicked voices on the other end: “We ran out of money sooner than expected and couldn't pay for Ben's lunch. Now he's on a rampage and we've locked ourselves in the server room. None of the other investors are answering, pleeease send money quickly — you're our last hope!

As a side note on open development, I read the Elite Dangerous newsletter that I received yesterday, and I see multi-crew, an in-depth avatar maker, crafting and a few other things. And not only do I believe that these things actually exist as something other than fevered dreams, I believe that they will be delivered in a reasonable time frame. The mood at CIG must be akin to late april '45 in the Führer bunker as every sales point SC has is rapidly being overtaken by competitors that actually make playable games and not tech-demos.

To compare and contrast the respective newsletters from Frontier and RSI/CIG is an enlightening exercise in what "open development" really is. The RSI newsletters are all gloss and sales, lofty goals translated into fancy words that reveal nothing about mechanics or gameplay. The Frontier ones often go into nitty-gritty detail of behind the scenes mechanics, numbers and formulas that affect gameplay, balance discussions and so forth. It's really quite staggering, what SC people delude themselves into thinking when they coin SC the "most open development ever."
