Toops posted:Oh don't worry, I've already started working on the startup sequence immersion. Just audio so far, but your ship doesn't get full power until it's finished its startup sequence. Making it very, very annoying and overlong will require a lot of iteration. Oh, man, make it be an eternally rising note. Like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone And make it last a few minutes. Also, at least a dozen start buttons of different sizes, all saying START and making bleep bloop noises.

So I am sitting here drinkin and reading the star citizen thread and listening to the phantom of the opera soundtrack and it occurs to me that when yall were talkin bout jpegs that the ship images were in .jpeg. I've been reading this thread for like ages. It never once occurred to me that instead of .pngs or .tiffs or .gifs or .wads or .anything that they would use jpegs for loving images. I had to get 6 shots of bourbon deep in order for me to fully understand that they were using jpegs, and I had to have someone else verify this for me. I mean, gently caress. Goddamnit.

Hokay, so ATV is pretty late today. We've been a little late in the past, sometimes as much as an hour, but never this late, and I apologize. We ran into a number of serious technical issues last night, not least of which was that the edit machine decided not to output sound for the episode. This was discovered though the course of our regular YouTube check the night before. If you happened to be following Twitter/Periscope at 2am this morning, you might have seen me here at the office trying to resolve the issue overnight so we could make our regularly scheduled 12pm PST launch time. There will be an episode of ATV tonight. In our efforts to discover the problem in the original render, we started excising portions of the show, then adding them back in until the offending asset was identified, and then a resolution and substitution could be made. Unfortunately, the best efforts aren't always enough. After thinking we had the issue resolved, we then ran into YouTube processing issues, which are always an amazing crap shoot of processing times of one hour to many hours. Then content ID issues arose (like the ones that inappropriately took RTV down for several hours from YT last Friday until it was resolved.) We have two slightly different versions of the show approaching ready to go, and one of them will be going out tonight. I'm not going home until it's out. With regards to the small surprise I mentioned on Monday, that was the live gamestream we were able to do from the office here on Tuesday. There's no surprise content in ATV. No surprise content in 2.2. When 2.2 goes to LIVE it will be the same as you see on PTU now, just hopefully running a little better. =) For those waiting up for the show, we appreciate the dedication, but can't tell you exactly when that will be just yet. We're at the mercy of the universe atm. I will invite you to do what I'm doing while *I* am waiting though, which is watching our Star Citizen livestreamers and other content creators. We got some great people out there. Thanks! Jared Huckaby Community Manager Waiting Along with You Nothing to laugh at today on youtube, lame.

I have never edited anything in my entire life nor do I have any experience with anything that he is talking about. It sounds, however, like flimflam. Someone who has suffered long hours please tell me that I am incorrect and that everything homeless santa is saying makes perfect sense and that the world of uploading a video from their cameras is a lot harder than my nephew and his friends uploading their minecraft adventures to youtube.

IDK if he was joking about the "editing machine," which of course would simply be a "computer", unless they're shooting on like 70mm or some other ridiculous crap which I wouldn't honestly put past a Crobberts operation. But I've never edited video nearly to the scale of that kind of fidelitous production, so what the crap do I know. Overall, I that's the kind of information that's just too specific and boring to invent as an excuse. At least, that's all I have to think, about that.
