Yes and… what if they came up with a way so that the show was only available for like, half an hour on release day? Maybe after the season they can make it generally available. That would really make it a “gotta be there” moment. 🙃

Gamers are, without question, the worst customers imaginable. I think games get made despite us, not because of us.

Hey is it advisable to have all of your ships stowed when 4.1.1 drops? I have stuff spread out in my hangar, as one does… any issues with leaving it all there?

It’s a brutal time to be a young man right now bc it’s easy to be cynical and lose hope for the future. We look around and wonder when the grown-ups are going to fix this mess… and then realize we are the grown-ups. GenZ and GenA are having this reckoning now. But if anyone can fix it, they will.

Does that say that each can has a micro-gravity generator? But I can’t have auto-tinting windows…

The doors and the stupid elevator in the cargo bay that we all just don’t use because it’s faster to climb are the minimum of what I want to see fixed. I want “Data-RUNNER” to be less of a stretch of the imagination. I think the crawl space has been pointless, but maybe Engineering will change that.

Install on a SSD is mandatory. 32 GB RAM is minimum. The game is CPU bound 99% of the time, and the other 1% is also CPU.

Purple is a skin for the reclaimer, and I don’t think NPC ships are spawning with skins, so at least the reclaimer was player owned at one point.

Percussive maintenance is the best maintenance.

Source?

For some reason I want to find my box cutter and open something… 🚐📦

YouTube video by VKB Sim VKB STG - Space Throttle Grip

VKB dropped a 6DOF throttle from out of nowhere marketed at “Space Simulations.” Judging by the buttons they listened heavily to their #StarCitizen users. I currently use dual sticks + pedals, but this is tempting… youtu.be/kDN3i8DmMmA?...

Do you know if it has one of the lunar animals on it? I couldn’t tell from the sale page.

It’s for sure those little moments that keep us from abandoning the project. I’m just hoping that one day I can get my less fault-tolerant friends to experience those moments with me. Maybe this is the year?

Is this one of those times like when Chevy released the Chevy Nova into the Spanish speaking market, not realizing “No Va” in spanish means “doesn’t go?”

I can say that after many years, the Destiny 2 spell has been broken. It seems there have been other games released that are not Destiny 2. I am still adjusting to this reality.

Path of Exiles 2. I never played PoE1, which makes me the target audience. Oh, and YOU CAN PAUSE IT. Let that sink in.

I’m at the point now where if I see any more than 5 sentences strung together coherently with correct grammar and punctuation I think “AI? Sus.”

YouTube video by 30Kartoons Star Citizen - Combat Medic #starcitizen

This is the best #StarCitizen cartoon I have seen in ages. Actually laughed out loud in a few places 🤣 youtu.be/3o8sNKn079g?...

🤣

oh that’s the old one I was hoping there was a new one. 😭

It’s like we were just having this conversation lol

Remember the letter from the chairman from like, 2 years ago where he said words to the effect of “our 3rd party database isn’t scaling as expected”? I imagine you’re right and this is where the new bottleneck is.

They have ~1100 people on staff, and I don’t think they are _all_ related to Chris Roberts, so I imagine some of them want a paycheck.

#Corpospeak of the day: “Just my 2 cents.” Translation: varies on power distance between speaker and audience.

If the speaker is the boss: “This is direction disguised as discussion.” If the speaker is junior: “You are all idiots lol.”

Any other good translations?

After I posted this initially I saw another post that suggested exactly what you did. Saw my RAM was underclocked. I turned on XMP and got another 10 fps. Crazy that setting isn’t default.

The people shitting on the #StarCitizen survey on reddit are mildly infuriating. I know, it’s the Internet, I should know better. Tell me you’ve never worked in product without telling me you have never worked in product. 😑

I used BBS software in the 1990s over dialup that was more enjoyable than logging in to Spectrum. So yes, post away.

A lot* of the modern internet is built on stateless clients, right? Games can’t really do that.
Honestly you’d have to be a complete lunatic to ever build anything like star citizen, let alone fund it. 🙃

Yes and no- they are actually leveraging commercial technologies on the back end: robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/tr...
