I guess I must be a commie libtard or something, but it absolutely amazes me that we live in a world where some can’t manage to eat or find a place to sleep yet others are searching for somewhere, anywhere, to dump 18K. But I guess that has very little to do with Star Citizen.

Unlikely. If you read his feed, you will see why. Also, how could that possibly affect me? It’s not like I asked him, let alone have anything to gain or lose. if it’s false, he p0wned himself because my comments to him are no less relevant or pertinent.
From today’s newsletter:
Next week, we will send out our inaugural Squadron 42 newsletter, which will be a monthly installment containing exclusive news on our single-player campaign. Join us on Thursday, December 21st at 12 PM PST for our Holiday ATV Special focused on Squadron 42.
It will be interesting to see what the Squadron 42 news are.

I Tweeted about that a few days ago. It’s a trailer; not a live gameplay walk-through.

In a rather hilarious turn of events…
Before that Tweet, spinlocks never appeared in their patch notes. I think the devs are trying to send me a sort of “…we hear you, man!” message :)

While you were sleeping, a new Star Citizen controversy popped up. It’s hilarious. So of course I had to write about it.

I found this to be the most damning confession:
“What is so hard about fixing the performance problems is that the game is pushing the engine way beyond what it was designed to handle”
They might have just said, “We’re/you’re screwed.”

Yeah, that’s basically it. But they already knew this, and also know that it’s no big secret anymore. However, now they’re using that as an excuse for the delays, horrid performance, subpar experience etc.
Can’t wait for the announcement that they are starting over with a new engine. 2028 here we come! :)
Who knew game development could be so complex?

So, in your blog post, you point out that the video shows a directory path at 4:27. Took a while, but by slowing it down to quarter speed I was able to make out something like “g:\gamedev\cryengine\etc.” Is that significant in some way? (I’ve never worked with either cryengine or lumberyard.)
A file/directory name can stick around long after it means anything just so you don’t have to change things on your build.

They claim to have fully switched to Lumberyard. That’s the default install path for CryEngine. I have both. So I know. It was just one thing that jumped at me. I wrote about that switch in one of my blogs.

Yes, but that’s not the case here. Plus, neither CryEngine nor Lumberyard force any paths in their tools. Also, installing Lumberyard into the same folder as CryEngine is, well, try it and see for yourself. Both are free to download.

The article is amazing, but the comments are fucking golden:
Bjorn here is my favorite:
By Bjorn’s standards, Trump is, well, God.

Yeah, we know those guys. They pop up everywhere. They’re a collective special kind of stupid.
