Assuming you've done what I will, and turned all the graphics "optimizations" down to low, that's pretty terrible.

I'll tell you the exact moment everything flipped for me was when I saw the GIF of CR doing that little dance and singing in the car moving his hands weirdly. While everyone else awkwardly watched.

Up until that point SC sounded like a cool idea and I had only read about CR. The articles painted him as some kind of Steve Jobs of videogames. When I saw that GIF I was like, "Whoa this isn't Steve Jobs this is just some fool."

Then how could Chris Roberts, a developer with more than 2 decades of experience, not know this? Say what you will about the state of the game but you can't deny that Croberts has repeatedly lied about dates when it's obvious in retrospect that there was no way he could have thought the "two weeks" "soon" "in the final stages" he gave out once in a while could possibly be true.

How does this fact alone not sour you to the whole thing?

Have you ever experienced Coke logic?

Edit for a bit I was panicked and worried that the entertainment this fiasco was going to dry up in the near future with the charts being posted. So I had to see it for myself and I calmed down. They are going to fleece nerds for millions and the laffs will continue to flow.

Ignoring anything else that's hilariously wrong and broken about this crap, it is still amazing just how bad and boring the flight is. Every time a ship moves it feels like controlling an FPS game with clipping disabled. That they can't even get the most basic part of their space game to be fun or satisfying is a testament to their unending incompetence.

One of the streamers made some comment to the effect of 'They turned off all physics for the ships because it was broken' or something like that

Of loving course. I'm sure it's fine though it's not like that is an integral part of a game like this.

I mean 10k an hour is better than the < 1k they would normally be doing on the off-sale time

Are the other ships for sale new ships also, or are they just re-upping the ones already sold previous?

I can see a limited demand for the new ship, because they know how to make the whales erect for anything new, but I'm not sure they'll be very successful re--re-selling previously sold ships, again

They showed us a new jpeg and a jpeg variant. I think if they had more they'd have shown them off . Will probably be resales and no doubt they'll bring back a bunch of poo poo they said was never coming back for sale. Doubt they make what would just be a normal month in 2014

Hypothetically speaking, what would the largest possible map sizes look like with quad precision? Millions of lightyears?

At 128 bits, you dump the dumb thing that is floating point and just go with integers, because 1) they're much much cheaper to crunch and 2) (2^128) nanometres = 3.59686428 × 1013 light years. Yes, at the resolution of 1nm, you get that much throw out of a 128 bit integer. As a comparison, milky way is 105 light years across.

They need an average (average over the entire sale) of at least 20k an hour to almost but not quite do as well as last year. This is day 1 when they should be well above the average.

They must have a Javelin, Idris, 890 Jump or new vanduul sale planned, if they don't and funding drops even more there'll be no hiding the money problem.

I'm going to guess because they're a round shape, and when you put a round shape on another round shape (Mr Roberts potato face), it looks weird. It accentuates his play-doh like features in a negative way.

At least that's my theory.
