I'm so glad they spent so much time on Miles Eckhart and did so much promotion of him. I mean the fidelity is really showing when your star quest giver still can't work out where the table is that he has to sit down at, so decides to just start levitating.

loving lol, because I watched half an hour of the stream last night and turned it off after arriving at the same exact conclusion you have

I'm glad people are excited for it, really I am, it's a splendid thing in so many ways. But this stuff they talked about is off on ten tangents and doesn't sound intuitive, slick or fun in the slightest.

It's time Elite had some competition.

I'm the mixed tabs and spaces warning on every module. Horrifying use of lambdas. I like how the engineer is just turning synchronous calls into asynchronous to try and get rid of a hitch. I'm sure all other Star Engine systems are cool with more than one ships spawning and initializing at the same time, vs. the one at a time it's been doing for half a decade.

"Fun to play ships"

Doesn't every ship that's been actually released play exactly the same (Plus or Minus a cargo spot)?

Speaking of height maps, the best way to get height maps to line up without huge seams is to just mirror one of them so they have no choice but to seamlessly line up.

Because it shows how quickly reddit can go from "Quit spreading your FUD here!" to "Oh my god will somebody help me get a refund!"

All they have is their faith, whether it be in fake internet monies or in Chris, and once that faith is smashed into a fine powder, all that will be left is tears and rage and no amount of shilling or paid moderating can quell that rising tide of fury

I swear at some point they were defending that on the subreddit as a completely natural formation that makes total sense

No seam, no seam, you're the seam

I would like to give these out, with the rule that you MUST play them and do a 250 word field trip report about why they are better than Star Citizen within ONE WEEK of receiving the code, or toxx. If you're up to the task, post

and claim ONE game. First come, first served.

Note: 250 words is nothing. About 2x what I wrote here. Thread's getting stale, things need punching up a little.

You need PMs for me to send the steam codes.

E: to spice it up, the field trip needs a screenshot or two.

There is so much poo poo going on in that little piece of video, it could fill hundreds of posts....it's just unbelievable. But hey, let's welcome our new lambda-function overlord, which is totally the new poo poo on the block....

I don't watch bugsmashers all that often, but that episode was a pure nightmare of coding. Even if that is the result of one person's work for a week - concentraded into a video to show backers how it's done (kazaaaam) - I'd have a rather long talk with that person.

I know that the following question is hypothetical: but aren't there any software developers under the remaining backers? I understand by now that game dev seems to create some awfull code due to time and money constraints, but phwoa, even looking at the CIG code you see in bugsmashers, it really hurts you as a developer. My mind always scans it for "help us, we are trapped here" signs....

I probably enjoy Batgirl’s videos more than most people. Batgirl, like Clifford, fits neatly in the Evangelist camp and while I think they’re a little, uh, “batty”, they also seem pretty guileless. I don’t understand how it’s possible for Batgirl to retain the hopes she has for the project in the face of what she’s seen and experienced. It was a little easier to understand in the prior years because her “friends” Sandi and Ben gave her privileged access and she reciprocated with softball questions and an abundance of praise.

Yet Ben seems marginalized if not gone completely, and Sandi hasn’t given a new interview in quite some time.(Wise move, really, given how many regrettable things she’s said in past interviews.) Her “friends” have shut her out every bit as sharply and unexpectedly as her NPC mission giver did in SoTG. I’d assumed maybe some distance from CIG might clear the fog but no, she_still_trusts_in_cig and believes in the game.

Depending where you stand it’s either heartbreaking or hilarious that her video ends with her still hanging on to the Cargo she scored in a half hour of planet jogging. It can’t be redeemed yet can’t be discarded, either. It’s empty, pointless, a gag gift consolation prize for her time lost to a parody of a gameplay experience, yet she’s attached to it anyway. She’s assigned the meaning and worth to it that the game failed to provide or reward and I’d not be surprised if she retains it as long as persistence will allow. It’s pretty much a symbol of her faith in the dream and like hell is she going to let anyone take that away. (At least until some server wipe does.)
