Also, it sounds weird to hear that Sandi came home from "Martial Arts" training.

I don't know anyone that would just call what they do "martial arts training". Most people specify if they're learning Karate, Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, Jiujitsu, etc.

People specify when they say Yoga or Zumba or gymnastics or parkour.

Martial Arts training is what I would say if I had a five year old who just earned the first stripe on her white belt. It sounds so awkward and childish.

Umm.. That's because she learns them all

Sandi Gardiner

there was a pretty high level of enthusiasm for this project on SA. Goons were just the first amongst backers to start considering that it might be a doomed project ( was a trendsetter in this I believe). imo we are just as much part of the star citizen community as r/starcitizen and the RSI forums, and in 6-12 months both those places will be just as righteously indignant as we are but much less funny and entertaining about it, and without having caught on quick enough to take advantage of the refund window like we did.

Basically what I'm saying is we won star citizen.

Yup. Then they picked on me and it went mainstream. Those loving idiots brought this all on themselves.

Star Citizen, Derek Smart and Me

haven't watched it yet but I'm expecting good times.

He's a moron. I left him a message:

quote:

@mikisan

"Here then are his predictions and their outcomes all while you can see me play in the universe that he says won't come out, I will also transition from my ship to space, to a space station and back which Derek says is impossible."

I never said it's impossible to do the things you describe. It's rather hilarious that you'd infer that, seeing as I've done it several times over. And currently doing it all over again in an upcoming game that didn't cost $108m to make.

I said the game they pitched is impossible to make. That's an absolute fact. Aside from the fact that, five years, $108m and over 500 people (at peak) later, they have yet to deliver on even 10% of what they originally promised.

What you're playing right now is a glorified CryEngine mod a bunch of half-drunk, high-as-a-kit coders could have made on a whim. Go look at Angels Fall First (it's on Steam), a UE mode that small group of indie guys took six years to make. With no budget. It's got more gameplay in it than this rubbish.

So, at the very least, if you're going to attribute something to me, get it right. After all, I don't write millions of words in my blogs so someone can misquote me. I write them so that when this whole thing collapses, everyone can go back and take a look, take as much material (I've done and continue to do extensive research into this train wreck - next up, I am going to prove that the funding numbers are pure bollocks) as they want, and quote what I stated.

This game is never - ever - coming out. No amount of propaganda is going to change that. Aside from the fact that a bunch of people have come to the rather hilarious conclusion that one person (yours truly) is capable of cratering a $108m dollar. If that were the case, then logically it stands to reason that the project was on shaky ground to begin with.

This project is FUBAR and there is no way around that. Sunk Cost Fallacy isn't going to save it; and Cognitive Dissonance is just an excuse to drink more.

Oh, okay. Two weeks? :shepspends:

There's so much more I want to reply to, but I really can't handle it. The sheer overbearing mindfuckery of this whole disaster is finally starting to catch up with me. Mostly so far it's all been a joke to me since all I've seen is Bootcha's perspective--which is still pretty sad--but you know. I only vaguely know about most of this poo poo and don't care about video games at all, so it's weird to me that people care so much about it. People can get weird about video games, comic books, whatever--it's how weird they get that troubles me. I still don't get it and probably never will.

Bootcha and I talked a bit last night about Brittany Godfrey and her small involvement in this disaster. Bootcha was upset that he was ever a true believer. I told him hey, it's water under the bridge; that was a couple of years back before the poo poo really hit the fan; etc. Still. He was upset he didn't realize something was wrong long before he did. Seeing how upset he was brings out the :fuzzknot:

in me.

People like Humility (the sad walrus guy or whoever that was) and other poo poo I can't bring myself to address are starting to bring it home. I'm getting where Beer is coming from when he said he was worried people might commit suicide over this travesty, because they really might.

The whole thing just REALLY PISSES ME OFF. What the gently caress are they even doing over there. gently caress you, Sandi. You're a loving oval office. I don't use that word lightly. I've used it twice in my life. It hurts me to use a word that's insulting to women, but YOU'RE A loving oval office. You deserve that and words that haven't even been invented yet. I hate you. You deserve everything that's coming to you, and boy, will you get it in spades.

quote:

For now, since I have no idea how it will play in, let's assume you start straight into the PU with no SQ42 prequel.

I am thinking something like this:

Your working man inherits a ship from his dead uncle. He gets the e-mail in his cubicle at his insurance agency where he spends his days sorting through impossible to comprehend claims where both sides are arguing that the other one "griefed" them and is 100% at fault. He stands up, looks around, walks to the elevator and leaves, it takes 3 months before anyone even realizes he's gone and remembers to cancel his salary. Meanwhile, he heads to the local spaceport and finds his glorious future awaiting him in a rusty, grimy, space wreck of an Aurora that his uncle left in a temporary storage unit to go racing for the weekend where he smashed into a floating, upscale apartment complex at 1200 m/s due to his controls suddenly going unresponsive when his HOTAS script stopped running for no reason in the background and he suddenly was rolling instead of yawing. So what have you got?

The Aurora Cheaper than dirt and all-around incredibly useful ship. This thing is durable, cheap to repair and can take you far enough that instead of going for a main-ship upgrade first, you could splurge and buy a specialized fighter/racer for fun. It's a grunt, can pack enough of a punch to get you through in a tough spot and enough of an "Every-mans" ship that no one is trying especially hard to kill you in it. Eventually, a few risky maneuvers has you rolling in credits and after a few weeks blowing them on drugs and lap dances on Terra you get back to work. You find yourself in a bar one night waiting for the Fixer who pinged you on your mobi-glass about a contraband run out to a Covalex station in Crusader that depressurized awhile back killing everyone inside. It's now operating as a pirate base for some low-grade thugs who are giving local security something to do by going out and shutting down comm arrays. Crusader security thinks something big is going on, but it's just a couple of idiots who like to ruin people's day. Lucky for you, they are also bored and have been advertising for some adult entertainment on back-comm channels.

Meantime, you see a guy sitting down the bar sobbing over a whiskey and water to the bar-tender about a near-miss encounter with some pirates at the local jump point, nearly killed him and he just can't do it anymore. He's gonna sell his ship to the first guy to offer him a drink and enough cash for Starliner ride back to Sol. So you being the kind gentleman you are, you take the drunk up on his offer and walk off with a pair of keys for your shiny new... Avenger Titan This baby MOVES and the added bonus of not having to EVA to access your cargo let's you change up what you're carrying. It's got enough firepower to keep the pirates off of you and unlike your Aurora where you just hightailed it or dropped your load for them, you're feeling like you might be a new hotshot on the block.

You're still running cargo, mostly contraband and "entertainment" to backwater stations needing to keep the human resources in a productive state of mind, when you get hopped by a pirate crew that isn't interested in your load out, they just want you dead. You fly fancy, blow up a couple Auroras and a 300i (why do the idiots paint them red all the time, its like screaming HELLO I AM A PIRATE to the local brass) and as you are dodging through an asteroid field the cavalry arrives in the form of 3 Military grade UEE hornets that heard your distress call from a local Idris Patrol-boat doing a routine run through the trading lane. 2 hours and 2 dead Cutlasses later you are back on the Idri pounding drinks and trading stories while they fix up the Titan. Turns out the 300i pilot was a bit of a local menace with a pretty hefty reward on his head (or lack thereof) and that was being transferred to your account (The credits, not the head). The Idris drops you back in civilization a couple days later and you head to the MISC dealer, trade up your Aurora (they robbed you, but the thing didn't ever stop smelling like your Uncle died in it rather than in a fireball) as well as your Titan and were soon flying off into the sunset in your brand new Freelancer MIS. One of the Hornet pilots was chatting you up about maybe getting into business together and had a line on a pretty sweet muscle/hustle run for his father-in-law's mining company. They'd been plagued by pirate crews hitting their tradeships and were buried in escort fees, they were suspicious the "escorts" were actually just the same pirate group that was attacking them when they weren't running escorts, and he wanted to try a different trick. The Lancer MIS carried enough punch noone was going to voluntarily hit it and it could still carry a decent ore-load.

So you go pickup your new buddy (Buck) and his wife (Jane), Buck says Jane's the best shield operator you've ever seen and head off to your new gig. The guys a maniac on the rear turret, he even figured out how to slave your side guns to the turret controls for anything on your front 180 view, left you completely free to focus on piloting while Jane ran shields, and it was no joke, she was a wizard. Your crew was pulling down some serious cheddar, anyone who did get in close wasn't happy about it, and mostly you were left alone. The money was so good and your team so effective Jane's dad offered to chip in 10% on a bit of an upgrade. Which is how you ended up in your Connie Andromeda. And man was she was a mean, ruthless bitch. You'd picked up a couple ex-UEE guys running the turrets, Jane still ran shield control and was doubling as your targeting/missile control officer while Buck flew the snub fighter. Jane hated having him out there, it felt like you were dumping him in a suicide pod every time he decoupled, but the guy could FLY. You'd mastered the art of a sustained cruise / defense flight mode where you'd force the pursuers to go into cruise to keep up, took away their ability to maneuver around you and without fail they'd just line up in straight line trying to catch up and you'd just flip the bird around and hit them with the main guns. Noone ever caught on because anyone who tried it ended up too dead to tell their buddies. You went through a couple gunners here and there, and eventually Jane convinced Buck he wasn't allowed in the snub fighter anymore (women always taking the small joys out of life) so he was constantly yelling down the turret tube at whatever poor sap was in the belly gun to "just loving hit something for once." You'd found an old UEE vet named Merv who said he'd always meant to die in a fighter while he was still enlisted, so he didn't mind if one day he died in the snub, though he'd probably outlive everyone, the guy was a surgeon with the nose gatling gun.

Life was pretty good, the credits were adding up and the contracts were easier to come by, you had the reputation for always coming through and your employers knew it. You'd been thinking about maybe going big and setting up a hull D with a full escort group and doing some easy bulk-hauls for the UEE, the money was good and you'd be running through military occupied space. Pretty hard to pass that up, it would mean breaking up the team and making them all captains, but you were starting to like the sound of "Admiral" of your own fleet.

Fractal Wave: Feb 7, 2009

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:

Just got my Lexip Professional 3d Mouse from Amazon today. I had to pay about $20 in import taxes which sucked. Mouse, cross-pond shipping and taxes now cost me a total of $100.

For those who missed the thread's earlier Human Interface Device adventures, the Lexip Professional 3d Mouse is a mouse which sports a gamepad-style thumbstick

And also can be "tilted" to allow for another two axes of control:

It's primarily intended for 3d graphics applications such as CAD and 3dsMAX and what not, but seems to have captured some Citizens' attention due to its potential for controlling spacey boats.

First impressions:

Actually, I'm pretty impressed. The drivers work well and allow for application specific configuration. Presets are available for many applications too: in Chrome for instance, the preset config is thumbstick as real smooth up/down scroll when stick is moved forward/back, and tab switch when moved up/down. The deadzone is configurable of course. Mouse movement is buttery smooth with config available for 800-3200 DPI. I haven't found any use for the tilt axes yet, but I'd wager they could come of use for orientation or rotation in 3d work, when you've mapped the thumbstick to other stuff.

On the minus side, the right and left mouse buttons end about 1cm before the mouse does - using this with hands much larger than mine wouldn't necessarily be very fun. The forward/back buttons need to be pressed a bit too far to register as input, which feels a bit odd. Also, the thumbstick can be pressed for yet another button-style input, but it needs to be pressed pretty hard which makes me skeptical any user actually found a use for it - not really a minus though, as the function can be safely ignored.

Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase thus far, and so will keep it and not sell it to any Arena Commander aficionado. It has some kinks that I'd love to see worked out - since this is Lexip's first offering though, I'm confident they will continue to develop awesome mice and win the Citizen community by storm!

...that is, if they weren't a small french startup that ended up bankrupt years ago. As far as I can google, no other mouse quite like it is out there - for those interested, the Lexip Professional 3d Mouse is available on Amazon for $50 plus shipping. Order while unsold stock remains!

Way behind so sorry if it has been asked. Do you play elite, I wonder how the mouse tilt would work for for roll/yaw (whichever you don't have bound to mouse x). Seems like a good fit.
