Ok, final four here. You can see the military model of our standard cookie (green sprinkles), the cargo variant (crushed walnuts), the Holiday version (apple pie spice), and our very own brown sea version (hershey's cocoa powder). These cookies were made with: all purpose flower, powdered sugar, butter, oil, salt, a dead baby chicken, vanilla, baking powder, and goon love. I also used various amounts of walnuts, icing, and sprinkles. *fake edit* I cannot take a photo of all of them together as I have 3 smaller versions of me that have been eating them.

No, I'm just laughing at the other side of the promise but never deliver coin. I get that and understand, I just gave you my opinion based on following this crazy story since 2013. Part of the issue I think is that some are understandably frustrated and want an ending, I think the wait will be worth it in the end.

I think he's getting at the fact that the egg hasn't and cannot ever form the distinct parts that would make a "chicken." Eggs you buy in stores generally aren't fertilized and so won't ever be anything other than a mass of goop (until you make cookies out of them).

What does adding bits to "world position" do for a dev/player?? Ideally, it means you can use the same coordinate system for a far (roughly one billion times) bigger “world” without having to section it into smaller grids with their own origos/anchor points. It could simplify interactions over very long distances that would otherwise have to use some kind of intermediary to communicate and translate that interaction between the the two locations, and it should theoretically simplify the mathematics and object transformations done in that large world. In practice, it usually just makes everything slower and still requires you to translate from one coordinate system to another as soon as you want to feed it through a rendering pipeline, or similar hardware acceleration that will be optimised for 32-bit data, and get it to show up on-screen.

Charles Get-Out posted:What the gently caress is 64 bit world position anyways and how would it differ from say 32 bit "world position"? What does adding bits to "world position" do for a dev/player?? 64 bit world position would, i take it, mean that x, y and z are expressed as a long integer (i.e. have a range from -(2^63) to 2^63). And, in a sense, saying a world size is 64 bit is exactly the same thing - the box describing the world is quantized into 2^64 * 2^64 * 2^64 little chunks. The problem with all of this is that the position is usually a floating point number, not an integer, for various reasons - so coordinates are NOT a range from -(2^63) to 2^63, but rather a double-precision floating point. They consist of 1 sign bit, 11 bits of exponent, and a 52 bit fraction (mantissa). In this case, the world can actually be of arbitrary size - its *size* is not governed by the bit size of the float at all. Rather, it's the precision that is. This also means that as you increase the size of the world relative to the player character (and cameras, and lights, and other objects), the precision will fall. There are tricks for negating this (generally, you do not require high precision far away from the player character, for example, so you can "fake" the distances), but i wouldn't trust CIG to herd sheeps drawn on a piece of paper, so let's leave those out of the discussion. Generally, problem with 64 bit *precision* (i.e. double precision floats) is - it's not hardware accelerated, or is very badly hardware accelerated. This is why it's used sparingly (the issue is compounded by the fact truncating 64 bit precision to 32 bits just makes things worse).

Pretty much. Basically, they blew up the size of their world, and reduced the precision because of it. This caused a slew of other issues, like broken physics. So they then half-arsedly increased precision to 64 bits. Which further broke poo poo and made it slow to boot.

If he has to say this "You will likely..." with no clue why that is so wrong after $130+ million US dollars and 5 years of development Chances are he is an idiot CIG doesn't have anything decided , literally nothing is finalized , in fact they barely even have anything sketched out One of the first things any successful game of this scale would be doing is base lining what the game will do, how it will play. They can't even nail down the one thing they're actually good at doing , selling ships. Their now upping the prices and going after cheap tactics like cash only sales I do not pity a single person who still has money in this , if they keep dumping money well we should all be thinking of more ways to jump on the band wagon and fleece them even more

This game was falsely advertised, plain and simple. There are a large amount of features and content in the game that were advertised and talked about by the developers that were cut in the last few months before release. I could get into the poor PC release but the other reviews cover that just as well. I will keep playing the game because unfortunately I have been looking forward to what was advertised for the last 2 years and hope that it is brought to that point through FREE updates. As of right now I believe everyone who bought this game is entitled to a refund with no exceptions, Sony and Hello Games are possibly up for some legal trouble. They are even using trailers on THIS VERY PAGE that have features in them that are not in the final game.

Sunswipe posted:Preparing for the hordes of disappointed Citizens to lay siege to CIG Towers? Wise, very wise. I'd ditch the 10/22, though. Can't see .22 getting the level of penetration you'd need on the average Citizen. I once terrified a new trainee when I asked him to sell me a rifle. I was looking at 'the one I wanted' when he asked me what I intended to hunt. When I answered 'the most dangerous game of all, people.' He visibly lost a couple of shades of color and proceeded to get our manager. Long story short, my manager played a long and we went through the whole procedure even though my ASM knew I wasn't going to buy it. We got to the part where the trainee had to call the FBI NICS center when my manager really started to up the game. 'So, your targets gonna be armed too or is this an easy shoot?' Me 'yeah actually, they get a .22 snub nosed smooth bore revolver with 4 rounds each. I want them to think they have a chance.' At which point the trainee was freaking out. He ran and got our loss prevention guys. When the 3 of them realized we were having a huge joke at the new guys expense, it was all laughs after the new guy called us gently caress wads and said 'I quit. I'm done. You 2 can go gently caress yourselves.' And never returned to the store.

You keep forgetting that there was a misconception between 64 bit floats being used in a co-ordinate system and 64 bit floats being used for GPU calculations. There was a time where fans thought the engine was going to be so advanced that the rendering was being calculated at 64 bit precision for the highest fidelity. They were even discussing how current 64 bit GPU performance wasn't anything like 32 bit performance. There was also some theory crafting around AMD and Nvidia having to catch up to CIG and produce 64 bit GPUs because it was the future of gaming.
