Be advised that, in order to receive new lobby invites, you will need to restart the client after every match.

Star Marine Leaderboards are not in-game this build.

New! Star Marine – Whenever a player respawns, all players will experience a lag spike

New! Being invited to a Multiplayer Match, then exiting and joining a Multiplayer game will always put you in a Battle Royale on Broken Moon

How. How do you gently caress things up this badly? It's an engine made for shooting dudes. Even the most inept modders team out there can whip up a simple FPS mode with leaderboards and where the client won't need to be restarted every round. It's just mind-loving-boggling.

It takes practice to learn to fire, make a long sharp stick and go to town. It's not like the Zs are even trying to avoid getting a sharp stick in the face from 2 meters away.

I mean the sheer blinding incompetence of CIG is on display daily like a retarded lighthouse, but I'm still periodically shocked all over again over just how bad it is. It's like this bubble of ineptitude that you get used to when living in this thread and when you leave it you are astounded to see and play games that actually work and are good like BF1 and Astroneer (that I bought because of this thread and it's drat good!).

Hey guys sorry to interrupt the hilarious process of getting angry at patch notes, but please stop doxxing, stop sending death threats, stop following people online all day, stop making antisemitic jokes, stop reading million word long reddit posts by people you hate, stop posting erotic spaceship imagery of spaceships, stop suggesting people to commit suicide.
I cant believe I have to even remind you that while not all of those are illegal, they do make you look like you're mentally unbalanced and creepy. Please, it's for your own good.

Have Chris and the backers discovered SpatialOS yet?

https://spatialos.improbable.io

quote:

Code Beyond Server Boundaries

SpatialOS can create a swarm of hundreds of conventional game engines that overlap together to create a huge, seamless world. Develop unconstrained by the computational and concurrent player limits of a single engine.


Grow a Persistent World

A SpatialOS world can contain millions of persistent entities and manage their state and history. Design gameplay that allows players to affect the world in meaningful, long-lasting ways.


SpatialOS is a cloud-based computational platform that lets you use many servers and engines to power a single world.
The platform coordinates a swarm of micro-services called workers, which overlap and dynamically reorganize to power a huge, seamless world.
The platform also lets you handle a huge number of concurrent players across different devices in one world.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kjLWK6iQvRs

All the best to them, but seriously... microservices?
Latency and overhead are going to be insane.
Whoever thought this would be a good idea?
Why is it even needed?

It's so out-there, buzzword-ridden and just plain unnecessary it's a *perfect* match for CIG.

That's disappointing and sad.

I guess it makes people feel superior to talk about why clearly highly intelligent people are not compared to themselves and their version of intelligence.

This, to me, is the general attitude of people who did not get a degree, or have a degree in something that didn't require insane amounts of dedication and brain beatings. One of the best things to learn is that you're not as smart as you think you are, and you should never ever try to judge someone's intelligence, because you're going to end up looking stupid.

Try reading a Wired article after replacing "Smart" with "Derek Smart :smug:"

quote:

“In 1991, Mark Weiser – the author of Ubiquitous Computing and then chief scientist at Xerox PARC – stated we should find a way to ‘allow the computers themselves to vanish into the background.’ The concept of the connected homes can be seen through this lens. Technology reinvents our homes, but that process should be easy – almost invisible – and perceived as useful.

So far, though, Derek Smart :smug: home solutions have not been very successful in achieving that – hence some of the current concerns on its adoption. The Derek Smart :smug: home should be based around a people-centric approach and connected to other people-centric concepts, such as the Derek Smart :smug: city.”

“I do look forward to a time when I can run my home in a far more interactive way, create a Derek Smart and personalised space that feels fluid and is Derek Smart enough to adapt as I need it to. It’s these changes that will allow me to be able to stay in my home for longer, even support me into old age, if the environment becomes intelligent enough that it can be adapted to suit me as my physical needs change. That’s the real benefit of a Derek Smart home.”

A father shot dead by his teenage son in Idaho was an addict who was training his boys for the zombie apocalypse, a court heard Thursday.

Eldon Samuel Jr. was planning to take alleged killer Eldon Samuel III into the mountains with trailer full of guns, food and water in case of the doomsday event, his estranged wife Tina told a court in Coeur d'Alene.

The now 16-year-old son faces murder charges for killing his father and autistic younger brother, Jonathan, in March 2014, when he was 14.
