No you see in Star Citizen you will control your drill pressure when mining, so the grind will feel awesome and fidelitous

Some of the fantasy and 40k novels are decent to read, regardless of whether the game is trash and how many of the other novels are awful.

I read a fair few of the Horus Heresy books while I was still into 40k and they vary quite a lot in quality. Pretty much no two 'consecutive' ones have the same author iirc. One thing I remember is how badly they did at describing the spaceship battles. Like, I get it's difficult to describe a 3D spaceship battle with ridiculous fantasy weapons in a book but c'mon. There's no consistency with where stuff is described to be or what is happening from scene to scene, and even less between books. One author has them engaging with mass drivers and beams and poo poo at 1000s of kilometers like an attempt at hard sci-fi, the next at like a couple hundred meters with manually breach-loaded space cannons ( probably closer to what 40k is supposed to be). One author was clearly just like 'ah gently caress it no one cares about this poo poo anyway' and phones in the climactic space battle in a paragraph, which includes the Heart of Gold (from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) being improbably destroyed by a stray round. I recommend the Eisenhorn trilogy and some of Gaunt's Ghosts though.

Okay yeah maybe you would have plants growing around the inside of some barrel thing like that if you were going to spin it up to provide artificial gravity but you can tell by the way the room has a floor and a ceiling that they already have gravity covered here, so I'm wondering just what the point is ...I just spent more time thinking about this than everyone at CIG combined, didn't I

Here's a blast from the past for you all. Approximately one year ago today this picture was created of Ryan Archer's Cat. (I had to have her put down on February 28th because of Kidney Disease. Next Saturday would have been her 18th birthday. RIP Snowie.)

Somehow. CO2. O2 would be fun. Edit: The vertical version of that is one of the testbeds for hydroponic pods that are supposed to be a part of the Mars mission, although that's started to become the big shiny billboard for space travel these days. The idea is that you use all the light produced to the plants, while the roots are sluicing around in a nutrient water (urine) mix. Sci-fi movies have used it quite a bit, and then it makes it SC. Cute to go from the relative tech of artisanal small batch lettuce production and the neo-brutalist chic of literally everything else. necroid posted:you're either a basement dweller with no knowledge of the outside world or a stupid edgelord trying to sound cool. good job blaming the artists and the programmers trying to make a living doing their job. Swing and a miss. Also, MoMa and DeeSmee, you sure you guys aren't mixing up the SEC with the FTC there? Securities and exchange has a fairly narrow remit compared with the Federal Trade Commission that overlaps in the pre-post-truth world. if you're really interested in exploring this, you should both can the loving appeals to a non-existent audience and stop the verbal jousting, it's literally wallpaper at this point.

Incompetence on CIG is not a scam. Yes they want to maximize profits just like every other publisher out there. If they had the capability (they don't) to make the game they say they want, they would. The problem is when everything has to funnel to one person who wants to make the ultimate life simulator and changes his mind daily, you're going to fail. That's not on interns, artists, low level developers trying to make a living.

Not a whole lot of people are blameless in this MLM of dreams, it's perfectly possible that there are backers and employees out there who willfully ignored all warning signs and hosed up their entire life and careers, but that still would merit pity in my eyes A few years ago I got in touch with a guy who fell for one of those "woman in third world country needs you to rescue them" scams, to the point where he stole from the retirees in the nursing home where he worked to send the cash to finance her getting a kidney transplant or something like that. He got found out, lost his job and so on, and his life was pretty much hosed. Does he deserve it, and if he does, can he still be worthy of pity? I know I felt sad for him, but I still felt he deserved a lot of poo poo for loving up that badly

Presumably the outfit that tries to scam old people by making them think the IRS is about to arrest them if they don't mail a check has IT guys. Those IT guys are scammers too not sure why they get a pass. Its not like they don't know and they draw a paycheck from the scammed people.
