Brilliant move from Chris here. When this is all over the citizens will forever believe the failure was all somehow Amazon's fault.

Kakarot posted:nice job, everyone should doxx their parents on Christmas Doxxing was Christmas Eve. Today after the traditional death threats I decided to give her a nice card to go with the present I brought (note the completed pavlova, ready for decoration with cream and berries!)  They say that the best messages are the heartfelt ones.  I love my mum, and especially love catching up with her and letting her know what's going on in my life; I know she really appreciates it.

Challenge: Retort:  The guy explains delta patching for a game that CAN'T FIGURE OUT DELTA PATCHING, and ignores the point of the question.

You know what I kind of wish I had sold my silly freelancer package when the getting was good but a long time ago i decided the entertainment value i had derived from the game just from these threads far outweighed the cost of the game. And now I get this news about a full game engine change for christmas. It's a miracle of tragedy/hilarity!

Either the switch is already done and the game still sucks or it has yet to be done and the game may be possible but we don't know yet Lumbercuck

I like Ben. He seems to want to be helpful and explain behind the scenes stuff. The problem is he knows he has to filter it through CIG approved messaging, so it is often light on actual details or doesn't make much sense. He also has the shortcoming where he can't simply explain a technical detail, and describes it in terms of his personal conceptualisation of the detail. i.e. It makes sense in my head. So if I write what's in my head it down, it should make sense to everyone else.

Happy Christmas Eve, all you fucks screaming at a video game. I'm thankful for the wondrous year I've spent with all of you. You're all part of my trolling, backstabbing, instigating family.

Um, that's not the way stock ownership works in this case, Dr. Smart, especially since Amazon doesn't pay a dividend, yet. Maybe you could argue that CIG money could help fund stock buy-backs, but that's an indirect benefit of stock ownership and buybacks don't happen all the time.

He ruins it by getting into a pissing match about analogies shortly thereafter. As TheLightPurges says, he's not in a position to be a spokesman for the whole project, but I found it hella funny that he understood the concept of deltas for a game that can't do that for its testers let alone subscribers.

My neighbor has some nice additions on his house. Our houses are built from nearly the same original blueprint. I'm going to buy his house and stick his nice additions onto my house. Should be easy. That's how it works, right?

So if I write what's in my head it down, it should make sense to everyone else. The thing is, the stuff he's doing on the Frontier forums(!! of all places) is exactly what CIG should have representatives of their departments doing on their own forums. Sure he doesn't know all the details about everything and ends up getting into pointless pissing matches, but at least he's trying to give out some reasonable answers to this whole thing. CIG are their own worst enemy as far as the whole 'open development' shtick goes, which is a real shame because they could have owned that aspect of their project and been a real example to other games companies. As it is, they just produce lovely fluff videos and hilariously fake or vague 'roadmaps'. poo poo could have been so much different if they had a decent management structure. Happy Christmas from the UK lumberjerks!

Also, both my friend and I are separately working on modern retellings of Homer's Iliad. He ran into money problems, so I bought his version from him. I just have to copy his changes into my work. They were both based on the same original story, so it should be easy.

I haven't seen his handiwork… (geddit?  ) but he's an old Frontier developer that jumped from working on Elite to working on SC.If you ask him about the SC rendering, he can get really technical; if you ask him about anything else, I'd say he's more evasive if anything, unless the must-defend-CIG reflex kicks in.

He was able to give a pretty good rundown of why lights and shadows were misbehaving in the gamescom demo, muttering about how they'd force him to fix it once they got back.
