Post more like that moma, it was hilarious.

Subsumption routines were said to be a few kilobytes heavy. They put the example that a cassette run in a commodore could manage all of the NPCs in star citizen.

Although at this point in time he's probably technically correct, a floppy disk can handle all the AI currently in SC.

quote:

You are flying your ship around the 'verse, doing whatever in no man's land, when you happen to missclic your left mouse button, and fire a round. Well who cares.

A couple thousand meters from that, a starfarer driven only by NPCs gets hit by your shot without you even realizing. Suddenly, a lot of things happen in a very short time: NPCs who were sleeping in their cot get up rushing their way to the elevator, maintenance staff leaves the common hall and goes to their cabinet to grab some tools to try and repare a gas breach in the second floor. Orders are being given from the bridge to the different teams as NPC engineers coordinate to focus the shield in your general direction. The gunner team gets in their positions by this time and engage fire against a surprised you.

Several other events and microevents take place in such a short period of time that you couldn't acknowledge all of them even if you had the time, the means and the will to do so.

And from the distance, you can only see a firing grey dot which isn't filled with anything but with non playing characters being managed by the computer in the background. You wouldn't have realized their existence if your paths hadn't crossed. Heck, they may as well don't exist, maybe the grey dot is just an entire single entity following prewritten simple behavior (returnfire=true) and that's all of it. But they do exist. Every single NPC did the correct thing needed in order to drive the starfarer and make it blow your ship back.

This is what Star Citizen subsumption is being worked to be eventually. So, don't blame them if they take a little time. Personally I've never seen anything of the like in any other videogame.

We have the advantage of time. Don't make a weakness out of it.

If I were CIG, I'd be documenting all of these ~dreams posts that have been made over the years. When they go to sell their backer list to the highest bidder, posts like these will be a fantastic representation of how stupid and gullible these people are.

I bet a big reason they never release financials is because their backer contact list is worth millions on their asset sheet.

I like that this guy clearly really wants to dig up some dirt on Derek so he's done all sorts of insane research but he can't find a single thing and is desperately resorting to "Hired a secretary" and "Owns a house" as if they were terrible slurs against his good name.

This guy is completely batshit.

The running story with the Tribe of Extra Chromosomes is that Derek has gone bankrupt and that he has a house in foreclosure. ELE on this time it's for Derek.

Even in the vast emptiness of space (marooned on this small planet) its still possible to shoot once and somehow hit another ship.


(We're going to rock civilisation)

Even still, these spergs come up with a lot of words and theorycrafting.

But I guess its boring to say "THE SHIP YOU HIT HAD SHIELDS, WHICH ABSORBED THE BLOW."

-The crew continued T-posing and bugging out in piece until arriving at their destination, bacjwards and warped inside out, before causing large sections of the docking yard to split away from the main body and float away, never to be used again.

Christ, clearly having not learned from ilovecreamsodas journey into one step too far they're going to start falsely claiming things about Derek's financial status so they too can get kicked in the rear end and look stupid.

Seriously, if there's any of these crazy stalkers lurking right now for the love of god stick to archiving his twitter, stop trying to snuff out a bonfire flame with your rear end cheeks you stupid, gormless idiots.
