Very good advice. If you have patience, preparation and persistence you can achieve any goal. Where one or two are lacking, you will probably miss your target. That is not a failure, because as long as you're on the journey it's easier to fix than it was to start the journey in the first place.

If I had my way, there would be a Starfarer design called the Starfarer Saloon. The Saloon will be a standard Starfarer in almost all respects, with the following changes: It will feature a fully functional Irish pub, or similar style tavern in what is now the cargo hold. The kitchen will be...

http://www.darwinawards.com Not so much anymore, but it used to be an Internet meme. Gives you a sense of the number of hilarious ways sentience is not the same as sapience.

Not the right question. The proper question is, "Is the population too dumb to have a modicum of common sense". The answer can be summed up in a short story: Yellowstone National Park has very large signs that say things like "DO NOT FEED THE BEARS". Nevertheless, and normally directly in...

Yeah, pretty much.

There isn't a word to describe this. There should never be a word that describes this. The video was beautiful, and sad beyond measure. Thank you for sharing your anguish with us.

Politicizing this conversation, or turning it into a partisan agenda is not going to help resolve the problem. It's not Left vs Right. Not Liberal vs Conservative, not Democrat vs Republican. As soon as politics becomes involved in this conversation, everyone has lost. EXACTLY.

In this case, I think the action was on the part of BBTV, not YouTube because the explanation in BBTV's message, and @DirectorGunner is not the only person who's channel was dropped by BBTV on February 28th. This past January and in the beginning of February, YouTube clarified some of their...

It actually looks to me like it was BBTV doing this, not YouTube. If you'd like me to explain that I will. Make no mistake. Companies do not exist for your benefit, and they do not have your back. They exist for the benefit of their shareholders, and for no other reason. Don't ever forget...

They're maximizing control over their revenue streams. Perfectly natural way for a company to behave. My advice is to hedge your bets. Set up Ad-Sense, it makes sense anyway since even if you don't they'll just inject ads you don't get paid for anyway. Then investigate other platforms...

Welcome to TEST @jasfest !!!

Yes there can be. A developer can go overboard on each too, so something can be simple, but incredibly hard to use, or complex but incredibly easy to use. You mentioned WOW earlier. That is actually something that is simple, but can be incredibly hard to use. To see what I mean, just take...

I don't know if anyone here has played flight simulator games, but by and large they have a way of incorporating realism that is pretty interesting. If you want fidelity, you can run through the entire checklist for starting a 737, or you can simply hit E (or whatever the key is) and the plane...

I totally agree, exaggerated realism is a huge problem in many "realistic" games, but there are ways to approach realism that aren't annoying at all, and can be a lot of fun. This is true especially in Sci Fi games, where you can simply invent a technology to get yourself out of a box. It...

Welcome to TEST @Belthus !!!

I hear all of this. They forget that whatever else we are, we are also the customers and consumers of their product. That actually makes us the most important stakeholders in the industry. They're not the only industry to forget this, but they certainly are one of them. Developers have only...

What he said, or maybe in extreme cases another account?

Welcome to TEST @Mobitron !!

Something I was thinking about was whether or not some ships that currently do, should even have planetary landing capability. If you had large cargo ships that couldn't land, then you'd need ships to shuttle cargo back and forth... and encourage cooperative game play, and vulnerable ships...

3.1 is a branch that appears to contain a pre-alpha of the shard tech. It sounds reasonable to me, new functionality stuck in an alpha, or even beta software is often in a kind of less than optimal state, enough to demonstrate if you're barking up the right tree. Big BUT though. CIG uses...
