Especially since 2/3 or more of their workforce is in Europe, where they take vacation time seriously.

Like, F1 racing shuts down for a month in the middle of the summer to give everyone a vacation.

Unirocinally: two weeks.

E: but it's totally correct. Those crazy F1 teams even usually decided to time those mandatory two weeks in a way that their staff has the best possible way of relaxing and recharging the batteries instead of putting them through the grinder even more.

He actually believes this. I've read quite a few interviews where he is (rightfully) upset at the industry, byproducts of otaku culture and all the other... Inaccessible, products created for an over leveraged out of touch community with very specific, tastes.

One of his drivering forces is to tell stories that elevate people. His response is not just being an old man. It was directly speaking against that ultra specific niche application of an idea that was grotesque and something that ran against people who are often seen as less than because of their disabilities.

I'm pretty sure he wanted to stick up for people don't have a typical range of movement, control, etc. The presenters joy was misplaced. His initial question really cut to the heart of it, but what is it for?

2am care rant ^ nice meltdown

Agree. But also would like to know what context that presentation was in. I mean, if it was the kickoff meeting for project "Capcom asked Studio Ghibli to help in the next Resident Evil" it would make totally more sense than "what technical advances have we made that might improve our next Studio Ghibli movie". I struggle to understand why this tech was presented (or even developed) at Studio Ghibli (and to Miyazaki) in the first place.

E: capcom, not konami...drat brain, quit loving up so bad..

Apparently, they were doing a lot of talking about going in and fixing the supersampling or something, but it seemed to work okay for them. I don't know, that's all a foreign language to me.

Yes, they are pretty much "fixed" (as much as you can fix them with the current headset tech). Having some additional GPU horsepower to crank up supersampling as much as possible helps a lot (like...really a lot).

Makes you think how important proper game mechanics truly are, and how irrelevant graphic fidelity can be.

Then again, I guess if someone never experienced the original X-Wing and especially TIE Fighter, hey will look at this and simply shrug

I was browsing the RSI forums for fun and they had some thread about how much they'd each spent and how they don't tell their family or whatever, anyway one dude came in saying he regretted spending any money because the game doesn't exist, everyone jumped on him and said he should just get a refund.

Its still CIG policy to not give refunds and those guys are deluded morons, right?

Imagine calling your parents and telling them you spent 10k on virtual space ships. I mean they love you and care about what you do (maybe a little less after that call...).

For their very first cryengine mod, this handfull of guys did a great job so far considering they have no game dev or coding experience and do this in their free time in the basement, especially since they whipped this up during a 48hour gamejam, and have to fund everything themselves.

They should do a Kickstarter to get some funds so they can work on it a couple of hours per week instead of per month.

It really looks promising.

E: also maybe the can get some more experienced artists to help them on the art direction, as obviously they don't have that much talent there on the team.

Reflecting about both yesterday's stream as well as the anniversary sale stream - in light of the 2.6 patch notes - did they actually have to restart every single client for each round of Star Marine? It would explain the strange delay between each round, especially during the anniversary stream.

Like: everybody that hasn't crashed already close the game, restart the game (maybe even the server?), reconnect, wait for admin guy to pull up the console to work some magic that it is now round 2 of 4 instead of 1 of 4, rejoin lobby, go?

This all coupled with the permanent fear of crashing all the time, and having to deliver it live, while under pressure of time.

No wonder Lando looked stressed as gently caress during the anniversary stream (I mean the last part where they actually managed to "play" star marine, not the first part where the build was still compiling). Imagine having to coordinate this clusterfuck. All you can really do is gobble down half a bottle of vodka, cross your fingers, get your mind into a "gently caress all this, I'm out here next year anyway" attitude and roll with it.

Current stats are:
77.7kg total weight
30.69kg muscle (39.5%)
16.55kg fat (21.3%)
6.22kg visceral fat (8%)

Goal is:
71kg total weight
30.69kg muscle (43.2%)
9.85kg fat (13.8%)
6.22kg visceral fat (8.7%)

Wish me luck mah bois. Wonder if I hit that goal before 3.0 is released.

Good luck! Lost 34 kg over the last six months, now down to 82kg. Long walks with the dog + reduced daily calory intake. Two more kilos and I can start the "now stay that way, you fool!"-protocoll.
