And by mission you mean "fly to another station, get out of your ship, press a button, fly back"?

Are there even NPC pirates to shoot?

Yeah that's the one.
Some NPC ships spawn and I noticed one night that they do that even if no one is there, I managed to clip out of my ship and watch them going through the motions from far away, shooting lasers at no one and nothing and looping around and around in a fake display in an infinite loop.

They do this in the mission too, just fly around going through the motions, it's all bullshit and not even real gameplay.

This is how you cook a ton of rice bootcha. Super easy. :)

Also the potato curry was me. It's better than the stuff you get at a restaurant. This poo poo's authentic. Also, it's pretty drat spicy.

Time for a quick scan over the Star Citizen checklist?



Nearly too close to the truth for comfort.

• Envy — every item added when Chris saw some other game had some neat feature.
• Wrath — that will happen last…
• Pride — best business woman in the world even since she was a little girl
• Lust — isn't everyone shipping Ben x Chris?

I'm new here. I come from the internet Elite Dangerous, a game about spaceships which actually is a real game that works and has gameplay in it. I recently made the mistake of mentioning Star Citizen on /r/elitedangerous. I mentioned it once, I don't think I got away with it.





14 years to make Elite? What? I'm done with these guys. They have infected every single forum and comments section like a loving cancer, and I cannot read their bullshit any more. Listen to this horseshit, you can see my comments he replied to.




What in the actual gently caress. I always thought folks were exaggerating about these guys, this is your actual real life bone fide see the doctor poo poo.









Isn't that last one a doozy? Isn't it? Looking at their website, reading up on what their trying to make, watching videos of the loving STATE OF IT and casually pointing out that it looks like a trainwreck is "Spreading Misinformation".

I've actually had enough of these guys, they are loving all over everything with this evangelical loving bullshit. Any moron with at least one eye and one braincell can tell at a distance of half a mile that the game is an absolute shambles. The engine physically cannot do what is being asked of it, it has nothing to do with being unfinished.

And do you know what this guy did? Do you know what this Optix334 guy went and did after I started ignoring him? He sent me a link to the latest RSI Monthly update. Are you loving kidding me. As if reading it will all of sudden make this pile of poo poo suddenly be an actual game.

So I've posted this all here and surely this guy will see it and know who I am and you know what, I couldn't give a gently caress anymore. There is no games journalism worth a toss any more in this industry, and there is something very very wrong with these guys who seem to be completely oblivious and genuinely in denial about it all.

I've voiced a hell of a lot of strong criticism at Elite and given mighty credit when it's due as well. It's an amazing piece of work and there's more to it than most people, even guys with hundreds of hours, realise. And it's getting trash talked by these fuckers? And this dude is hating on NMS too?

gently caress them, gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them.

Thank you, I got my $10 worth.

From 17~20 seconds the timing is perfect with the subtitles. I tried to make a gif of it but it turns out blurry. The olisar logo is the seconds hand on a clock.

The tendency to mistake seeing your own hands climb a ladder (to use one example) for immersion is very common, but only with a certain type of individual. I used to play Left 4 Dead with a friend of mine for years. When Left 4 Dead 2 came out, this guy started bitching around the clock: "They're moving backwards, man, they're moving backwards!" I had no idea what he was talking about, so I requested an explanation. "In the first game you can look down and see your feet - in this one you can't! They're moving backwards, man!"

Two things bothered me about this. First of all, seeing your own body in a FPS is a style choice, not an indication of whether or not the tech is "moving forward". An example of technology moving forward would be photography. Initially black and white by necessity, moving to color, higher-res, etc. - and although the earlier styles are still valid from an artistic perspective, it was an advancement in tech that allowed the newer forms to exist. So he was wrong on that front.

:words:
The seeing-your-feet stuff being removed in L4D2 wasn't so much a stylistic choice or whatever as it was freeing up some memory for their new gore effects (especially important on the Xbox 360, which only had like 512mb RAM). A bunch of people cared a lot about that minor detail at the time, but it was quickly forgotten after they used an M60 to reduce a horde of zombies to confetti. :gibs:

Book of B'tak

The prologue on earth shows the righteous B'tak blessed with wealth and internet spaceships. The scene shifts to heaven, where God asks Chris Robert (-Crobits, literally "the accuser") for his opinion of B'taks piety. Roberts answers that B'tak is pious only because God has not griefed him; if God were to PvP all of B'taks jpegs, then he would surely curse God. God gives Roberts permission to take Job's wealth in exchange for dreams, but Job nonetheless praises God: "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return...: the Lord has...... given, and the...... Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." God allows Roberts to afflict his body with EVA physics. B'tak floats about the landing platform, and his wife prompts him to "curse God, and die," but B'tak answers: "I believe....they are further along than we know"
