Lots has happened in a way.

Like recently Amazon made an annoucement saying how their Lumberyard engine is a big poo poo and only an complete moron would choose to use if for a multiplayer game.

ie https://techraptor.net/content/amazon-game-studios-struggling-due-to-lumberyard-engine

They put in a train.

You can ride it and see out the window.

Saw this today while shopping for a new couch and immediately thought of you guys.

It's just so ugly, and CIG's are exactly the same. That only belongs in a WW2 aircraft museum.

It's got to be just about the worst furniture aesthetic there is.

My issue would be every time I would try to write on that drat thing I'd hit one of those rivets and go into a rage having to start over again.

That was my original functional complaint about CIG's desks.

That thing retailed for 4.5 grand! At least buy something tasteful, for gently caress's sake.

There was a picture they posted to their Twitter of, I think it was employees voting on the collector tins, and they had to write their name down on a piece of paper for which they preferred. It was stationed on one of those desks.

At least one of the employees had clearly ran into a rivet while writing their vote.

Beef Hardcheese posted:

"Belle Delphine" made a post on Instagram, promising if it got a million likes she would start a PornHub channel. When it did, she posted about a dozen videos with titles like "Belle Delphine double penetration" she smokes two cigarettes at once, one in each nostril and "Belle Delphine takes Pewdiepie all the way inside her" she slowly tears up and eats a photo of Pewdiepie piece by piece. The horny idiots who assumed she was going to post porn of herself got mad, everyone else had a laugh.

Selling her "bath water" was a week or two after that, and apparently she's already "sold out" (run out of labels and jars). She knows exactly who her audience is, and how to simultaneously troll the poo poo out of them while getting them to give her lots of money. I'm curious to see what she'll come up with next, and how much more she'll be able to extract from thirsty shut-ins.

Edit: if someone could spot me a cat tax I can pay you back when I get home

It was excellent marketing; I'd never heard of her before that.

The missile truck:

The wheel covers are always lined up with each other, in every picture and video I've seen. They seem to be going with covers that simulate a central tire inflation system. They shouldn't always line up. Wheels turn at different rates and become disoriented with each other.

It's driving me a little nuts.

They seem to have triggered an anti-OCD portion of my brain.

Also, the missile truck can engage at 2000 meters? This is technically doable with a good pistol, and within the defined operational scope of a trained military sniper with a rifle going for a precision shot.

Im gonna be honest with you. I spend a lot of time playing star citizen pretty drunk. Prolly why i have $10k backed and love every second of it. Having an awesome bar tender on my 890 jump while my bar tender wife makes me drinks at home will be immersive as hell. Now granted, ive only seen male bar tenders in star citizen, but after a few whiskeys everyone should start blending together anyway.

Plus whatever tools, pipelines, techniques and technologies they develop with this can be translated to other things like the food stand workers, shop keeps and whatever else

Somebody just posted a few weeks ago a video of someone using a scope to zoom, and everything outside the scope also zoomed. I thought you were going to be showing the same thing.

I wonder if they tried to fix that, and that's what happened.

Or, maybe it's completely unrelated.

He's not wrong, those X4 ships are drat massive - what's the game like now, worth getting yet?

What does 1:1 size scale even mean in a video game? It's stuff rendered onto a screen. You can make anything any size in internal units, and render at any size with your viewport, and put it to a screen of any size.

I have a 1:12 scale model car. I can hold it in my hands. It's 1:12 the size of the real thing. How does this relate to what something renders on a screen?

If I play the Magic School Bus game where they travel through the blood stream, is that even better because it's 10,000:1 scale?

I wouldnt be surprised if they all bought the ship. The entire purpose of an event like this is to create hype and enthusiasm and peer pressure towards making the purchase. I still think this is time-share marketing tactics.

i sincerely hope 'static server meshing' means something fancier than instancing otherwise l o l

Why is server side object container streaming needed for the single player game?
