JLee is a concept artist or something for CIG and is understandably obsessed with every tree in the forest. Curiously he never comments on the contrails flailing around though. He also inserts "You guys will be getting it soon." at least 6 times. https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=37m55s 37m55s JLee: 'I know the [Roleplay] was pretty cringe, but there was a reason for that. At the time it was brand new tech. She was instructed to slow down her speech and make over-exaggerated pronunciations.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=54m25s 54m25s JLee: "That scares me, the roadmap. No other company does this!" https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=55m35s 55m35s JLee: 'Wait what did you say Chris?' Chris: "[ArcCorp] was a small level and everything outside of it was, sort of uh, y-know kind-of, distan- it was basically faked" JLee: "Yes, this is true." https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h3m25s 1h3m25s Chris: 'We might not let players fly this close' JLee: 'I understand why Chris would say this, we might not want players to get too close to the population. I would rather not lock players into certain areas, maybe security drones stop you if you fly too close or blow you up. I dunno how we're going to do it. I think we're kind torn with making that decision.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h4m30s 1h4m30s JLee: 'ohhhhh look at that, we're soooooo close. Guys we're so close!'  https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h9m40s 1h9m40s JLee: 'It's just a bunch of polygons why get so excited? It's not the polygons that I'm excited about it's the tech behind using those polygons on the screen while not going one frame per second. That's why I'm excited. It's the tech! Love the tech.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h11m 1h11m JLee: 'Are we going to get 500v500 player battles with good fps? I'm not on netcode. The theory breakdown is to have massive battles. Currently, we do not have that. We wanna have players on different instances but still see each other. I dunno how it works.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h18m20s 1h18m20s JLee: 'That's what I love about Chris. We've not building this game to say "we did it!" to the naysayers. We're here to make this game for you guys. We're here to make the game for us, because we want to play this drat game. You guys are frustrated with not being able to play? We are frustrated as well. We want to play as much as you.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h34m50s 1h34m50s JLee: 'Let me show you. See these screens? An artist has to come in an fill in what shows on those screens. So we can't just generate an entire level.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h36m50s 1h36m50s JLee: 'Will stock and stores will be automatically filled with economy system as well as the type of items will be sold in each area? Ummm.. Uhh.. That's more of a Tony Z question. From what I know, it won't be automatic.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h38m20s 1h38m20s JLee: 'I saw that [in presentation crash] about a month ago. I could hav- I had to keep my mouth shut.' https://go.twitch.tv/videos/185872800?t=1h59m55s 1h59m55s JLee: "We will have waves and like waves crashing in the water."

CIG should sell literal war bonds. No, really. Ask for like... 10bux for 10bux worth of in-game currency, and then for every month that the game isn't released, the in-game value of the bond increases. Citizens would buy the bonds, which would give CIG money, and they would see a positive aspect to the endless delays in that the in-game currency continues to accumulate the longer they wait. It would encourage patience/greed and bring in money. I'm a genius

gently caress that box was so cringy. This Intel NVM SSD is a perfect match for Star Citizen backers. BTW: is there a more technical article somewhere regarding what exactly Intel hosed up with this? If I understand the general implication of what they tried to do, it's actually a hybrid SSD, with a certain amount of RAM that acts as a cache, similar to how hybrid HDDs worked. While this is possible nowadays with RamCaches, most of them live in user space and thus there is a problem regarding power loss/OS crash if cache and SSD are not in sync...you're cached data is basically hosed. Intel - if I understand them correctly - implemented this on hardware level, so that it is still able to sync cache and SSD if the OS crashes or - if the capacitors allow it - power is lost. How did they gently caress this up so it is slower than "normal" NVM SSDs?

A brief Google turned up this: quote:All in all, the notion of adding a fast storage layer to the PC is a good idea from the perspective of price/performance. So far two problems have gotten in the way of its adoption in the PC: Execution, in the form of software support (which was finally solved in the Ultrabook), and marketing, where the value prospect of a costly addition to the PC was completely lost on the consumer. It's essentially a hardware version of a ramdisk, in a DIMM/SSD form. He details the speed problem in that blog link (and flogs business analysis via pay per download, ugh). But the layman's version is, why the hell pay that kind of premium for something you can already do in software which is still faster than Optane? Intel (and many others) see the potential in NAND and want to be in front early but unless there's a mad spend on it in the server market its still too early. edit: and an amusing (to me) history of how Intel's marketing slowly ran out of gas, which really explains to me why they were at Citizencon. ewe2 fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 31, 2017 |

tuo posted:gently caress that box was so cringy. This Intel NVM SSD is a perfect match for Star Citizen backers. They've been cagey about throwing out figures, because the nominal cost is actually higher than a couple of NAND drives. The original Optane cache was a fast memory cache that you threw on a standard drive, and achieved some modest success, but the price of NAND-based SSDs falls all the time. This drive is the Optane fast memory cache backing a standard NAND array on the PCI-e bus, which _theoretically_ gives it a leg up on Sata....but not M.2. In short, it's really going to be interesting for data applications, but the spendy end of the world likes throwing it's money at gaming hardware, so Intel is going for the fanboy dollar in a really big way. Personally I think it's worth keeping an eye on, but adopting now, in a games context...eh.

Literally anything you can imagine will be possible. So this guy will just ignore and not participate in any "Ground" content. There will be entire career paths and industries in space. Lifetimes worth of gameplay for anyone doing anything they could want. Want to mine procedural asteroids like a 4k minecraft? Want to fly on the frontlines against the VAHNDOOHL? Want to haul rocks other people mine? Want to run a space refinery intricately breaking down every rock into it's constituent components? Want to be a space news anchor always traveling to the newest story? Want to be a space cruise liner employee mixing drinks? Want to be a space farmer or space particle accelerator....ist? Want to do space search and rescue? Want to haul physical information around? The first thing you do is ignore how actual games work and what is actually possible and then everything is possible. None of these things will just be a shallow minigame mechanic where you just hit a button, and will instead be lifetimes worth of gameplay. You are stupid for not building a sim pit. By the time you realize "Space News Van" comes with such intricate and in-depth mechanics that you start building your own sim pit to live your new life in the Verse this guy will be on his 3rd or 4th revision and be living comfortably in his new life where he is finally happy and doesn't have to worry about bills or responsibility gently caress YOU MOM I PAY RENT IT'S MY ROOM I CAN BUILD WHAT I WANT I'M A SPACE STEWARDESS

But the layman's version is, why the hell pay that kind of premium for something you can already do in software which is still faster than Optane? The link is for the Optane module, which they released at the start of the year. It's effectively a simple cache rather than a RAM Disk that uses fast DIMM memory to hold data from the slow store (magnet/ssd). They've been doing this for years on old spinners which creates the artificial numbers in some testing. The Optane drive is literally being released at the moment, which is why nobody actually has any numbers other than the ratings by Intel. Literally now - http://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-releases-first-optane-ssd-for-desktops-workstations/ That's $400 for the cost of two 960 EVO Pros of similar speed. Released the 27th, although NewEgg is still waiting.

It really sounds like there are better solutions for Enterprise applications already, that undoubtedly have their own product development initiatives underway. The gaming market is probably an attempt by Intel to recoup whatever pennies on the dollar they can of sunk cost, before they jettison the product line entirely.

Sure, but don't underestimate the value of the IP down the line either, if there's anything that upsets hardware vendors it's the thought of being gazumped by Apple again.

Oh definitely - it will probably follow the path of Killer NIC (founded by an Intel Lan Access Division expat). Interesting concept, let's see if the gamers buy it, polish it a little, then license the name and IP to Dell to include as a marketing bullet on Alienware laptops. Intel isn't interested in becoming a commodity hard-drive vendor catering to one segment of the consumer market. This is their fallback play till they can figure out how to leapfrog the competition in enterprise storage.
