TTerrible posted:What they're doing is new and innovative though. The rest of the ship stuff with people being able to walk around it like a seperate map is impressive. Wait. Explain this to me please because I'm probably missing something. What's innovative and impressive about it exactly? ps: Most of us did that decades ago

Drewjitsu posted:Roadbeer is one of those MWO Pubbie shitlers. He posted in the ketatoa subforum (which is the equivalent of either fyad or byob, whichever is more white noise, and where bad threads went on mwo to get poo poo posted to death), in an attempt to out white noise goons, somehow. I suspect that he likes us, but has no idea how to integrate himself into the group. So he's pissy that we get attention, and he does not. The name seems familiar but most of the shitshow that was PGI/MWO is a distant blur. It's also rather funny watching someone try to shitpost so hard to silence another group who bring up a point or whatever, it's not unique to MWO/SC I know but it just shows how fragile they are of anyone having a different opinion/critique than theirs and that the devs may listen to the other people instead. What I'm saying is, these people have a long list of personality issues.

IDK what game that is but lots of his compliants were annoying even not knowing what the deal is. at one point he is talking about the hyperdrives and I just had to close it.

I am part Lebanese, African American, British - all rolled up. I usually sport a British accent if I'm back over the pond, since I'm more comfortably speaking in that tongue without drawing attention to myself as I do over here in the US. If you listen carefully, you can hear the mix in my accent depending on what I'm saying and how.

Yeah, it's not unheard of but it's also rather more heard of for a man and wife to have similar interests and also use the internet. All the similarities are explained by that without the need for a greater conspiracy theory.

There's something about stretch goals - that I believe is worthy of mentioning here.quote:Remember: the system, like the new ships, is simply symbolic of what’s being added to Star Citizen with the additional money. Each stretch goal system represents additional artists, tools, programmers and new technologies that will make the finished project even better! quote:"The additional funding that backers are providing let’s us secure the resources to build ships, planets and systems that go beyond the original budget… but not the original vision. Thank you for helping make Star Citizen all that much better, with more immersion and more choices that will allow players to shape their experiences." quote:Remember that each stretch goal represents a broad array of improvements to Star Citizen: more staff, better equipment, more variety in the finished universe. The ships you choose are just a sample of what each million dollars lets us add to the game! I guess my overall concern is - did Roberts write a way out of having to deliver? By calling the stretch goals "symbolic"?

In that scenario, it would only take one person to be like "hey, stop, grow up, be a human."

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:I always forget about the C&C module which allows you to play an RTS from your bridge. Voice attack is a 3rd party software that translate vocal command in to controls in game. Its very nice for Elite : Dangerous and you can configure it with various voice pack done by Actors. It can also be programmed to react to some response, like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-DsvqMpriI the voice attack software warn the guy to stop swearing, and since he does not and tell the AI to "Shut up", the "AI" eject his cargo as punishment. It can also provide narration, quotes and give "travel facts" to various in game location and events. Its a nice change of pace from podcasts or classical opera while space truckin. You can even get a cheap one (1/3 of a normal pack cost) to simulate a "Ship's cat" to keep you virtual company https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrGeb0ROTN4 I assume SC promised to have the feature "built in" instead of being 3rd party with easy integration like in E:D. Can you imagine the sultry voice of Ms. Gardiner guiding you to the stars ?

Unless we're gonna extrapolate this to say all cultists are the same person because literally no two people could be that mad.

Not allowing the mounted players to take damage is dumb as hell, and I have no idea why they haven't implemented it - but a lot of people have posted things to the effect of "lol the player just becomes the ship haha cig are incompetent why dont they do it properly" without realising that they are doing it properly and they've played a ton of other games that do exactly this. You hear that Sandi? This guy thinks your husband can't make a video game with mirrors.

But cig is saying "Oh we can do this and that and we don't need all these tricks (even though they do) we can do it totally a million times better (they can't) that's what everyone's telling you.

They're not wriggling out of some promised high fidelity feature. There is no real other way of doing it. What are they pretending to do?
