We looked over, and there was the little guy (he had moved over from the Five Guys nearby) hopping onto the chair and just chilling. This is him before I decided to make a video.

So much for that Lumberyard switch. The systematic destruction of the project. It's also an indication that they have yet to do a full LY switch. Last I checked, Lumberyard didn't support DX12 or Vulcan. So CIG would have to implement it whether or not they switch fully to LY.

Just tripped over this article. Long read, but I thought it was pretty good. It is about how no matter what facts you show people, it may never cause them to sway their beliefs. So appropriate to this discussion.

Spatial posted:Number of fedoras owned by this guy: too many for me to watch the video Dude showed up on my Youtube homepage recommended list 9 or so months ago, and whatever video it was seemed reasonably well produced. He clearly puts tons of research and effort into his videos. He's got only 13k subs, so I'm going to shill him a little. He seems to go pretty in depth with financial and crowdfunding stuff, so I really just want to see whatever Star Citizen video he comes up with.

ewe2 posted:Generally games get backported to Linux, native libraries and executables and all. Thanks to the Mono project, games written under .NET and XNB can be played natively in Linux, eg Stardew Valley. But otherwise its a full port like Witcher 2, Civilization V or the Valve games. I have not tried Borderlands 2 but that's been ported also. Steambox would've helped with native Linux games, but that seems dead now. Vulkan should help remove platform specific coding, hopefully. I'd just like to not have to gently caress with Wine or VMWare to play poo poo.

Spatial posted:Speaking of scams, isn't one of Kickstarter's biggest problems that companies will take out high interest short-term loans to pad the funding number and create media attention? Then when the campaign ends and development starts, they run out of money shockingly fast because in reality they only had half the amount they claimed, and backers were only covering interest on the loans plus a small amount of funding. The Ouya had Kickstarter scams within Kickstarter scams. SCAMCEPTION

neonbregna posted:Comedy but some people take it very seriously when your space gently caress body options aren't the ideal of beauty. Some people are very upset the new space alien , Angara, aren't sexy cat people. You can still gently caress them though I wish there was some real lovecraftian monstrosity team member, some unholy mix of insect and jellyfish, and that you could romance it completely nonchalantly and no one made anything of it. "Oh yeah, they've been going out for ages. A few months ago I came back a couple of days earlier than expected and accidentally caught them having hot ovipositor action in the shower."

All you people just now noticing this missile thing: Note the wingman's hangar logo in the bottom right corner. That helps to date this whole animation, since Wingman's Hangar stopped existing in 2014 and was replaced by the Sandi Show. Here's a discussion from three loving years ago about this very same image: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/107877/flaw-in-idris-missile-launcher But it's okay! Because the Idris has been revealed since then. And then revamped. And then redesigned. And then re-released! With that many layers of constant re/re/re/re, for a $1000 ship that no backer has actually seen let alone gotten to use, you just know that CIG are doing their very best. So don't worry about the missiles. E: Redesigned Squirrel

If Chris pulled the scheme off so successfully in the film industry with the German tax shelter thing how come he was apparently selling used cars and essentially broke leading up to SC? Granted they had to pay off Costner etc, but still. Maybe the shady lawyer and the Gizmondo bros use Chris as a front for these schemes because he has a bit of a name from Wing Commander and is a clueless, easily manipulated dope who thinks he's James Cameron and Steven Spielberg rolled into one. They give him a respectable salary, hire his talentless spouse, lease a Porsche for him, and meanwhile they're the ones making out like bandits. And they have four geographically remote studios so no one at a junior level notices there are far fewer employees than publicly stated. Or that half of the UK studio is actually being hired out to make LEGO games or do effects for scifi shows.

AP posted:3.0 & SQ42 are due, well overdue. That's fair right? Ignoring the 2014 release date on the kickstarter for SQ42, the delay to 2015, then the delay to 2016 on the trailer, it's now 2017. 3.0 was meant to be out at the end of 2016. AP posted:moma if you don't want to talk about this that's fine, but I answered you. I told you my thoughts, oh, maybe 4 times so far? I expect a 3.0 drop by end of summer 2017. I also expected at least one level of sq42 to drop (including evocati drop) sometime this year. I don't expect them to release much more of that because it's a story line they want to share with everyone all at once. The pricing structure for the ships was always discussed to be: cheapest upon initial offering and going up in price with each anniversary of the ship until release. We've already seen this with ships like SH and Retaliator. So, if a ship costs $100 now (and at a UEC conversion of 1000 to $1USD,, then it stand to reason that the in-game UEC cost for the ship will be 100,000 UEC. If it increases in price at least 4 times to let's say: $300 before release, then we're looking at a ship costing 300,000 in UEC. Now it may not be a true 4x original price structure for all ships. I'm assuming there are other factors such as rarity, lore, etc, but I fully expect ships costing much more in game after release than now. When SC is released, it's said that we'll have the capability of trading ships for UEC, etc. I fully expect people to make out-of-game sale arrangements that involve the transfer of real cash instead of in-game UEC.
