Yowzers if that's the case, even in 2002 it would be quite a task to buy a forged parchment.

To her credit she did enough research for it to look plausible, knowing what colours to wear.

She really can't be that desperate to rock up in full garb for a photoshoot of a fake...unless that's actually a modeling photo for an ad.

Other possibility is that it's not a degree but something else. It's clear she has flunked out at some point.

Can you clarify just what the hell is going on? :v

I wasn't referring to the photo as being fake. Then again, it could be a promo shoot since she's an "actress".

Before I learned she was an actress, I thought she was a whore. Pardon me. Hard to tell. Lots of young girls look like it. Now and then I get one here, got to boot them out. But she was more... what?... crazy than anything.
I don't mean crazy like oddball or, you know, wacky funny. No, this one was certifiable. All that walking at night, all the wandering in the hallways, unable to sleep, a woman with demons pursuing her. Still, I had to tell her to
leave, but I never got around to doing it. Maybe I wouldn't have. I felt sorry for her. A pretty girl and so crazy. Still, people like Chris Roberts came to see her. What does that tell you? She told my granddaughter she was
gonna marry Chris Roberts, and my Susie started crying. But I told her that Chris Roberts is not marrying Sandi. Not on this good green Earth. Him, up there in the movies. Big time. All la-di-dah in his sunglasses. No way
he's marrying her. You know what she was? A failed actress. And let me tell you, there's nothing more pathetic in this town than a failed actress. Pity and tsk tsk from everyone. You didn't make it. Of course, they think they
will. This town's bottom heavy with sad lives.

That would be very useful thank you - my main requirements are for it to be able to comfortably run Photoshop and use a non-capacitive stylus, passive is very desirable as I already have a comfortable and good Wacom pen that I could use. I'd like to use it as a portable sketchbook, the Samsung tablet I've had for a while isn't very good for this as it's capacitive only in terms of stylus. My Wacom tablet (as in graphics tablet) is good but not exactly something I could use in a cafe or on the train or something as it's large so this would be really useful to have. I've been put off by paying hundreds but if there's a decent Chinese less expensive version I'd be tempted - It would be interesting to see what's available in assorted price ranges.

Crowdfunding is the worst thing that has happened since the Korean "free"2play model.
I mean, gamedevelopment wise, the only guys who do this are washed out game devs who want to relive their glory moments.
Look at Crowfall, the game got kickstarted during the peak of GOT. They are selling a game based on an IP that isn't even theirs. The crow? The "hunger"dome.
They have been at it for what 3 years now? the game is going nowhere.

Revival: even tho this wasn't a KS project, it was publicly funded.
The only game who's actually doing great is Camelot Unchanged.

The problem with KS is that there isn't a "reality" check before launching a project.
Do the people have any experience?
Is their model workable?
Are the funding goals actually able to deliver said goal....
Derek tweeted a kickstarter recently about an underwater breading device.. even tho experts says its physically impossible lol!

Well, that and Roberts being a fuckwit who made the Wing Commander Movie.

Hey Toops - I saw this earlier but I don't recall, did you ever do a OS X build? I'd love to check it out but my main axe right now is a MBPr and like a true plebeian I don't have a gaming rig.

Hey I was testing the latest PC build this morning, when I get home from work I'll do a Mac build and get it out.

For anyone who wants to try out the new build (on PC). Link below.

Note: In general, this is literally pre-alpha, so I expect things to be unstably. But it's really super-helpful to know what kind of problems people encounter.

Updates:

- Matches now have a start and end (5 mins)
- Enemies now spawn in waves of 3. When you kill the killable ships, a new set of 3 spawns. My record is 4 waves complete.
- Whales are not killable. They just don't know when to quit.
- Press "P" to power on your chariot and start the match
- You can now control mouse sensitivity from main menu (Controls -> Move the slider). None of the other control remappings are hooked up right now.
- Explosions, death, etc
- Stats are now accrued and displayed at the end of the match (points, rams, kills, damage done/taken)

There's a bunch of other stuff but this is getting bookish.

Controls:

Thrust:
W: Thrust Forward
S: Thrust Backward
Q: Thrust Left
E: Thrust Right
R: Thrust Up
F: Thrust Down
Left Shift: Thruster Boost

Rotation
A: Roll Left
D: Roll Right
Mouse X Axis: Yaw
Mouse Y Axis: Pitch
i: Invert Mouse (toggle, do this when in-game. This is hella stupid but I haven't gotten to the input remapper yet beyond mouse sens)

Other Stuff
Esc: Pause/Menu
P: Power On/Off
C: Space Brake
Hold RMB: Charge Paaarp Horn
Release RMB: Fire Paaarp Horn

Secret Dev-y Stuff:
U: 3rd Person Camera
(number) 0: Spawn 3 more enemies

Known Issues:
- After a match is over, if you start another one, the wrong level loads, and poo poo's generally hosed up (workaround: just exit the game each time)
- If you're not running on 1920x1080, the UI doesn't scale right and gets all hosed up.
- The "tunnel" in the test level uses a material that causes massive FR drops on some systems. Plus is looks like dog poo poo, so it's kind of a lose-lose.
- You can fly outside the arena boundary with no consequences, until you hit an invisible wall. I just forgot to re-size the arena boundary wall, so this is purely malaise.
- There's no LoD (Level of Detail) right now, so all objects are rendered at full resolution. This can cause FR drops on certain systems.
- When enemy ships are blown back by the blast radius of another exploding ship, they enter into this ridiculous twirling dance as they try to re-orient themselves at their patrol target.
- Enemy ships don't attack, evade, or pursue, they only patrol right now.
- Pause doesn't actually pause it just says pause and brings up the menu
- At the end of a match, mouse movements still control your ship and you can sorta still fly around
- If you're on two monitors, and you click outside the game window, it pulls you out of game context

I just wanna say, I really, really appreciate any time spent on SP, even just commenting or spitballing ideas ITT. It's weird to think about where this has gone in the last 2-3 months, and 100% of that is because of this community. I'm looking for any/all feedback, and trust me, you're not gonna hurt my feelings. Telling me what you like is great, but it's almost more important to point out stuff that isn't working for you. Mainly I'm trying to find the fun, and that's a feel thing. Graphics, polish, that kind of stuff comes after the game is working and fun on a basic level.
