Bah Hum... uh, what does the Easter Bunny say? He's a rabbit, and I'm in the US. No holiday for me. On the upside, no snow or even freezing rain this year. And they carry Tim Horton's at the grocery store now, so it's not all that bad. There are some interesting problems with this build...

@August, thanks! And here I thought I could actually get to bed before midnight 30 for once this week. Nope. lol but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It looks like you missed a couple of updates. When that happened to me last summer and fall, I had to use the Validate option in the...

Welcome to TEST!

And this is why you don't really want to fly a Connie or other ships with similar size like it was a fighter. you're a floating stationary target in comparison.

I get to invent new ways of doing things, and the answer to the other question is YES. My job became a hobby, then in 2005 my hobby became by career.... there I said it properly that time.

lol I don't even know what that means. I liked The Godfather, and Jabba the Hutt is like my last landlord. Almost as heavy as she was too.

This is all true, it is a demo and the reason I said "This uses simulated players, not real players. " in the original post. This is actually a very narrow use case, meant to showcase the part of the technology that works, rather than what they hope will be available. At the moment, it's...

I agree totally, it is not worth delaying the game, and there is no reason why it would impact timeline. And honestly, ray tracing is not a panacea for all things. It does have it's uses. I'm just not convinced it is the best solution here. The biggest problem I see with SC has to do with...

Reminds me... flight controls. I keep forgetting. Looks like fun. I mean the beer.

Well hello, and welcome to Test.

I'll nominate Altered Starscape by Ian Douglas. It's an interesting look at a future, first contact and then becomes something else. A ship containing a million inhabitants gets caught in a black hole, and a short time later is ejected 4 billion years in the future. You get a better...

My PTU inventory is full of combat ships, I think they didn't get the message. I need to look at OTHER types of ship now. It doesn't matter really, it's just I have no interest in 90% of the ships in the PTU inventory. Don't try to eat the fork**. It's to mix the cream cheese and onion...

From 4:05 to 6:30 is the discussion about ray tracing. All I can say, is "Oh, boy. Here we go again." This hits very close to home for me in more ways than one. It's not all that new by the way, part of the technology was described in the 1960's. In photo rendering, it's used a lot but...

Observation... my monitor doesn't taste like poutine one bit. But it did survives me trying to eat it.

... Homesick... Timmies. Sigh. Edit: Don't post a pic of poutine. Please, I don't really want to find out tomorrow that I ate my computer monitor.

Are you looking in my kitchen? I spent almost 30 minutes making homemade chip dip, about an hour before you posted this. I'm using an ancient recipe by the way. Very hard to make. (that's because onion soup mix and kraft cream cheese are a little hard to mix together with a fork.) I'm...

I've also written off companies like EA etc. for bringing this kind of game through the next steps. But that's not to write them off entirely, just out of this. They're too focused on bottom line to be really innovative. Yes well. There are a lot of ways that CIG can mess this up...

I love this kind of story by the way. Two of those stories, the first and second, actually knock on the door of what I am doing for my living. There are others in TEST too, whether they know it or not. The third is an obstacle to be aware of if you are working in Tech - not just computer tech...

... OH! You've been playing Star Citizen! Cool!

IANAA... I am not an artist... but you just gave me an idea. Thanks @Black Sunder! I might need someone with a good connection to the right side of their brain to comment, because mine is as muddled as a bachelor's kitchen. Geez, why can't drawing be more like math.
