The best part is their programmers don't seem to know enough about programming to realize the horrific insights they're providing into their clear lack of developer talent. The bugsmashers clown is just so proud that he writes computer code for computer games. They're too junior to realize they're writing code that is neither extensible nor maintainable. Whoever puts together their shows clearly has no idea what's going on. Yesterday's AtV was a treatise on the entire game being a flaming wreck.

To underline it even further, we don't worry about internet credibility too much. it's one of the reasons why we're feared in games, because taking the piss is far more fun than taking poo poo too seriously. Right, the irony of this thread is the fact that CIG produces such little content of a "game" that idle hands are the devil's workshop. So a natural consequence is just poo poo posting to pass the time until the next gently caress-up. There are times it somewhat sort of dives into bad areas but like a demented gyroscope it tends to right itself quickly.

If the people buying the ships keep loving the show and buying ships that you could say ATV is working great in the short term. The problem is that the few whales they have left don't have infinite money and infinite money is the only thing that could finish game, so their long term strategy is real bad.

I think I was five years in before I started coding defensively against changing requirements, and OO was a big new-fangled at the time. I've done a long partially-autistic <wink> post in the past about people starting OO throwing the loving kitchen sink into the base model without realizing the impact of build/teardown because they've overspecified. Not only that, but failing to plan is planning to fail. Seems loving trite, but I'm now riddled with metaphorical scars over someone changing the loving plan halfway through because they forgot something.

Dev Chad McKinney was explaining to TouchdownTim just the other day about how they're trying real hard. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/6t88hh/delays_are_disappointing_but_i_dont_feel_like_cig/dlksss9/?context=3 quote:I agreed with the comments with the code in quesiton, but please don't use my efforts to accept external criticism as a blanket statement that all our code is terrible. All game projects (especially large ones) have parts that are worse, and there's always room for improvement. Games especially are different from other domains in that you're making a creative product, not some sterile enterprise application. In games iteration is integral to the development process and often this requires pivoting in a way that is very hard to predict. The programmers on this team are insanely talented, their hard work and ingenuity is something to applaud. Tim told him to get another job. quote:Please don't take my comments as personal. Even talented employees like your team when poorly managed can slide into poor work practices. It wasn't a slight against you personally, but against whoever oversees the codebase and establishes the work practices. You say that was an exceptional incident? Well I haven't seen it be much different in other glimpses of the code we have seen.

Oddly enough a game I backed on Kickstarter 5 years ago finally hit 1.0 a day or so ago. https://www.castlestory.net/ I think I kicked in $15 5 years ago, mostly because they're fellow Canadians & it looked kinda cute. It's not shooty spacemans, but it's pretty cute & reasonably fun. I'd recommend picking it up once it inevitably gets tossed into a Humble Bundle or whatnot. They've been pretty open along the way & it's been interesting to see how & where they hosed the pooch plus the subsequent recoveries.

big nipples big life posted:No, I just pointed out ages ago that Derek Smart vs Star Citizen isn't about Star Citizen or some righteous crusade to help the poor, misinformed backers or even the most noble of goals, loling at idiots, it is about promoting Derek Smart because Derek Smart is self obsessed piece of poo poo. Derek is a heat sink for misdirected backer frustration and rage. It's funny how elegantly this has worked out. 1) Derek feeds off the contempt of furious detractors, knowing that the angrier they are at him, the more he's succeeded at consuming their thoughts and tormenting their spirits. (They're writing novels daily about a person they claim has no talent and no consequence. Yet his consequence is proven by the extent of their efforts at disproving it for his talent is trolling.) 2) Backers are rightly pissed and need an outlet. Chris, given his affable disposition and starry-eyed proclamations, will always be the backers "right" choice in a false dichotomy pick between himself and Derek. As long as Derek shares the stage with Chris, Chris is the easy pick for backers. They "win" a false choice based on favorability of personality. 3) Chris benefits greatly from the theatrical villainy of Derek's trolling, for it keeps Chris from sharing the stage with his TRUE mortal enemy, that being yesterday's Chris and his attendant claims and promises. This allows present Chris to keep LARPing as Future Chris, Director of the Most Ambitious Game in History, and channeling his energies and attentions into the next commercial or demo for that game. The more fidelitous the better, he's trying to brute force his way into the Pantheon of Modern Gaming Gods via his usual overcompensation techniques (polycount overkill, competitor feature oneupmanship, perpetual tinkering with finished assets, etc.) "Please God let me run out this string a little longer... My guys in Frankfurt, I just know they can crack this nut, turn lead into gold and save this thing... just a little more time... Pleeeease?" 4) Goons are cockroaches and can subsist off such a wide variety of garbage that the above three sources - Chris lols, Derek lols, backer lols - will keep them feeding and sometimes feasting. There's little that's especially healthy about this ecosystem. It's a bizarrely efficient and self-sustaining set of loops fueled by the dysfunctions and unfulfilled longings of its constituent players. It shall continue as it has until the unbearable tensions straining Chris's infernal machine either blow it apart (as skeptics predict) or are relieved via The Long Awaited Breakthrough that finally sees the machine spitting out the Promethean fire Chris promised to steal from the heavens and deliver. The quiet drama lost behind the hugely entertaining sideshow is a race, with present Chris huffing and puffing to escape past Chris while charging people to convince them he's Future Chris -- he's hoping against hope that if he keeps it up long enough it might eventually come true.

Imo, it's good coding practise to do so. if(someVariable == CONST_AND_OR_MAGICNUMBER) vs. if(CONST_AND_OR_MAGICNUMBER == someVariable) if I mistype the first because no coffee or whatever and I type if(someVariable = CONST_AND_OR_MAGICNUMBER) I have a loving bug which I have to trace down, because it compiles, but heck it doesn't compile into what I actually meant if I mistype the == on the second notion, I have a loving compiler error which I pick up immidiately and it won't compile into running code
