It gives me the article and supporting info in an easy to read format, but without a whole pile of clickbait dancing crap. Nicely done. Nicely done indeed.

raverrn posted:Meh, that's a pretty good ship concept. He's got solid gameplay behind it and a cool niche to fill, kinda the opposite of NEWS VAN. I'd play that ship in a competent and complete space MMO. Welp, back in Planetfall 1 days, some buddies and I founded a guild based on harvesting nanites to refuel the bases. Work can be kinda fun if done right.

A Neurotic Jew posted:the only reason anyone could want to buy the News Van ship is because they've already laid down $30,000 or whatever and have to complete the set. Mkay, this is all part of a plan, mind you. I get the news van, and I fly around getting the HOTTEST new stories. I make lots of moonbux and launch a regular news show on YouTube. The amazingly sexy Sandi falls in love with me, we have a week long shaving orgy, at the end of which Crobberts gets mad and cancels my account and permabans me since Sandi knows what it is like to have a real man and she leaves him and the spawn to run off with me and live in razor-driven bliss. When I get banned, I launch a weaponized DSmart legal team at him and vaporize him and CIG's management team and become hugely rich. At this point, I really what a greedy and superficial bitch Sandi REALLY is and I spend some of the prize money with white slavers to have her shipped off as a love slave to a leper colony. As she looks up at me with beseeching eyes, begging me not to have her carried off, I look down, smile, and PAAAAAAAAAAAARP! while wearing a custom mask that doesn't fit quite right.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Just want to post that I am not a parachute account, I am This is where you are wrong. We all are Smart In Derek. That foul false prophet the Crobber begs for donations and begs for faith that, one day, redemption will come, but when it is ready. Our Lord of Logic comes to us and offers his wisdom, "Look at the facts and make up your own drat mind. Or I might sue you." free of charge to those that will listen. I am not sure if Our Logician Derek has a spouse, but, even if he does, I am sure she is blessed among women, unlike the tawdry scarecrow the Crobber regularly ruts with in filth, degradation, and Cheeto dust... This, my brethren, is why we are all Smart in Derek, as long as we keep our riches away from the Crobber, rejecting his false promises of paradise just over the horizon, we concentrate on fact rather than the fiction spun by the Crobber, and our pubes unshaven to ward off the atteacks of the Gaping Abomination called Sandi.

Wait. That explains EVERYTHING. Sandi is a Cenobite. Sort of an anti-muse. She condemns men, first by forcing them to shave their groins then she gives them impossible dreams and seals their doom by using such dreams to lead them to crime and atrocities.

comatose posted:Does anyone actually understand their logic on PTU build numbering? Ignoring the whole 2.0 thing for an alpha, the patch notes from 2.0x to 2.1 are bug fixes and a new ship which for some reason means they went up a version number and also make you download the whole client again. Seriously, they are too busy writing THE GAME TO END ALL GAMES to work out a viable patcher.

D_Smart posted:Last time I checked, they didn't have patch servers; and they were not using third-party CDN like Akamai, Edgecast etc. Outside of that, pushing 30GB (!) worth of data with each patch, leads to massive bandwidth costs. Ask any IT person to explain it. Here's another question I have been wondering about, with the explosion of low cost indie titles on Steam recently... What does the pricing structure on Steam look like? How do they charge for updates and such?
