Not until after it shows up at all, since promised SQ42 content is already a flight risk.

I’m a fan of Trump, and I’ve long since refunded. My cousin, a dyed-in-the-wool progressive, refers to himself as a “male feminist,” rabidly anti-Trump, (99% of his social media posts are Trump related. Quite sad really.) and will never refund. Whenever we talk about SC it’s always “Derek Smart this” “Derek Smart that,” and I always have to remind him I never mentioned DS to begin with.

Epic disguised takedown.

I haven't been a fan of any of the presidents, but the Trump thing sure is hackneyed.

Ya see, CIG just changes their plans based on what Derek calls. So because Derek called "no sq42" they are now going to shoe horn whatever bullshot sq42 stuff they can fake into the livestream. This is good for star citizen.

Derek, you need to develop a secret goon code so we can distinguish between real calls and red herring calls meant to throw our cig thread spais off the scent.

I just got around to listening to the leaked SQ42 audio. Did anyone point out it confirms the terrible SQ42 script leaked on April fools day 2016?

For example, the clip of the girl singing Full Burn to herself.

[Becca Farneway]: "Full burn! Kickin' into overdrive! Full burn! Soon I'll be by your side! And you'll see, that the only truth, in this 'verse, is you and me!"




Didn't they disavow Full Burn after we laughed it into the ground? If I recall, they tried to claim it was just something some developer did in his spare time and had nothing to do with the game. Having the lyrics in the script kinda blows that out of the water.

There is no character creator. There aren't even any female player models. Don't let them bullshit about how they're coming, either- it's apparent that every suit of armor in the game is designed for the male commando. There's not even space in the stores for female mannequins.

I always laugh when I see a video of CRobertz talking about "emergent gameplay." He seems to think that SC will be some kind of sandbox where the gameplay will just sort of organically arise, when in reality there's no sand and barely a box.

It’s actually shorthand for “oops we were so busy grinding out assets for cash for years we forgot to include mechanics and really we know crap all about MMO design anyway so it’s up to you take make your own fun — buy this face scanning camera and get out your cosplay and start making up entertainment with the meager tools you have.”

Hey Derek, looks like you helped them fix some bugs this week:

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitize...ame=starcitizen

quote:

In render mesh management, code lock contention has been optimized. Generally, frequent CPU spikes on server and client side due to spin locks have been removed. The relevant changes mention in last week’s report as in-progress have been submitted. People on the PTU have observed the effect of a degenerated "spin lock". A spin lock used to control access to a shared resource when multiple threads are trying to work on it, such as a file or a memory space. It allows for very fast resource transfer between thread, but threads waiting for the resource are consuming a huge amount of CPU while waiting. It's useful as long as each thread doesn't wait long for the resource, otherwise it becomes a huge performance drain on all CPU cores
