I remember, a long time ago, having some friends come over to play Jet Set Radio on my Dreamcast (best fighting game console ever) the day the game came out. And one of them mentioned just how much work must have been to animate all those freaking sprites on every angle possible.

The thing is, had Chris Roberts been making games at that moment, he would certainly have rotoscoped a bunch of dudes skating from all angles to spend a couple of years making a few gigabytes of sprites. (And then he would have, like, layered physics and a game on top of that.)

We're at war with Goons. We were attacked by Goons. Do you want to kill Goons, or would you rather have Citizens killed?
Interestingly enough the star map & system maps in Elite: Dangerous got a lot worse to deal with in VR. I was able to map my HOTAS to make it work, but the galaxy map works a hell of a lot better on a standard 2d monitor. Flying in Elite with the Rift is cool. Lately I've actually been using that multi-crew thing to fly fighters on other players ships and flying those fighters in VR is freaking awesome. However went to the newly discovered INRA base and tried driving in VR on the surface of the planet and..well...I think I need a better GPU for that.

my nephew had to evac from his school, the college a few blocks away closed classes for the next two days and right now 6,000 acres have burned in less than 12 loving hours

there's 1,000 fire fighters on top of this poo poo right now, but less than 5% containment and thousands of homes are going to be threatened by tomorrow morning

the winds are whipping through at 40mph (or about the average cruising speed of a roberts brand spaceship) and the fire is now spreading in two opposite directions

like normally poo poo burns down around here and its like meh, another loving fire, but this is loving massive and scary

anyway I will continue drinking and live reporting about more important issues, such as star citizen or DOS2 or SoW, if I have power n stuff tomorrow

r/starcitizen_refunds: List of professional game devs with bad things to say about Star Citizen

Yo2Momma posted:

I've found that authority is one of the strongest factors surrounding belief or doubt in Star Citizen. Perhaps unsurprisingly. People gave money because they believed in space game rockstar Roberts. They doubted Derek Smart because of his bad reputation. And as a layman I've generally had poor luck trying to reason with believers through separate evidence and self-constructed arguments.

It's just easier to listen to the simple verdict of an authority figure.

With this thread as basis, I was directed to check Derek's Facebook page for such authoritative statements. It's an oft repeated line that the game dev community is tiny, with everyone knowing everyone, so even someone like Derek has plenty of pros on his Friend list.

I intend to dig them and their anti-SC sentiments up and link them in this thread. A big undertaking, not done in a jiffy, so I suspect I'll be coming back to edit this thread over time. Then link back to it from elsewhere as needed.

Oh, and don't worry about me digging through somewhat personal stuff. I got permission from the mods, and Derek himself, surprisingly.

The last patch made using the galaxy map in vr a lot better, even when using the mouse. And there is a setting under graphics called something like "horizon lock," I forget the exact wording, but it makes driving not complete poo poo.

It's an old term for Cajuns that falls somewhere between "We reclaimed this and it's a badge of pride now" and "Dude you know that's an ethnic slur right, what the gently caress?" depending on the person you say it to, and whether or not you're Cajun yourself.
