Also, the best part of this thread is the insinuation that Totalbiscuit's criticisms are only because he has cancer and is afraid he won't see the game released before he dies.

That's not related to Star Citizen at all, it's related to stuff about some Canadian court case and people sperging out over how he didn't say X or Y and that he's terrible etc.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

Huh… I just realised that EVE's database uses doubles for its universe-map objects (star systems, planets, moons, stations etc). I really need to poke one of the devs to see how they translate that to the actual systems and grids that the client and server simulations have to work with and render.

I really should have poked around a bit more in the data types earlier. :eng101:

I think that is the opposite of how it is, isn't it? I mean, you can't have an infinite thing in a finite thing.
The key thing he's missing is that infinite is not mutually exclusive to finite. The universe can be finite (has an end/boundaries) and also infinite (at a scale beyond human conception) - and by definition it must be finite because science has established that it is expanding, even though we are incapable of determining or measuring its limits.

On my part, I'd still remove the Peter Principle. From what I've seen, the exact opposite seems to happen: anyone that displays competence is kicked out (their good ideas clash with management's bad ones) or leave (for the same reason, but before they have a chance to be kicked out). Can't let them move up and be in a position to argue, now can we?

I couldn't think of any other reason to explain Lesnick as the director of pretty much everything inconsequential.

If I post myself with guns, does that make me an anti-dark knight? Do I become a white knight, or does that turn me into something completely different like a void knight?

So many questions...

The Dark Knight's thoughts on knights:

The Dark Knight posted:

Hopefully this doesn't get me on probation, so, here goes:

Star Citizen has its fair share of White Knights, those who would stand up with CIG and protect it against all those who would seek to tear it down.
But recently those attacks have grown to be more vicious and aggressive than ever before, which presents us with a question:
Does Star Citizen need, therefore, a Dark Knight?

Does Star Citizen need, or deserve him?

Because it IS fun if you approach it from the angle of it being a lovely half baked space flying game with tons of bugs and no personality.
It is a terrible and unfun game if you approach it from the angle of it being in any way good or decent

Original? You mean like the Sabre that looks like a ripped off robotech Valkyrie? There is nothing original about SC.

And can someone explain to me how the previous Wing Commander games aren't considered B-Movie level of writing at best? I get there's a lot of love for them but goddamn the writing is atrocious.

Oh they are. There are just different levels to it — the good ones are B-level, which is campy and fun and enjoyable by all. The ones written by Chris are… below that.

Look, the "Dark Knight" is trying to break new ground. Its not working, but he's trying.



Also, I think one (or two?) WC games had decent writing and the others didn't according to reactions from this thread.

It's hilarious because they're game developers and made an awesome game, but they're also incredibly northern and bitter and also as previously mentioned quite drunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgtAXCaSlpk
