“They’re all…”

All credibility lost.

This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world’s largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.

That’s how I roll too.

Well that’s just not true. You don’t just rename it to .exe and it will work on PC. The already made multiplayer will look for non-existent hardware, using obsolete and insecure methods to secure to a service that no longer exists on a completely different operating system. They would not only need to completely rewrite the client side net code from scratch, they’d have to write their server side code from scratch too, on top of paying a massive monthly fee to AWS or whatever to host it. Adding multiplayer won’t convince enough additional people to buy it to offset these costs; almost everyone is buying this game for the single player. Adding multiplayer means less profit and more delays.

This looks like a ham-fisted corporate propaganda pic, so yes.

Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It’s administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don’t even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.

The Wandering Village?

So if you miss a payment your mouse shuts off?

How is your standing policed, with an always online requirement? So if I move and need to wait to get my internet up, I can’t use my mouse?

Are they legally liable for lifetime support or are you signing away that right in the EULA and they can end support for your “lifetime” mouse on a whim?

I’d rather rent my furniture than subscribe to a mouse, but both practices are exploiting this world’s rampant financial illiteracy.

I could but I’d rather not. With a controller in one hand and a mouse in the other there aren’t many buttons near my fingers, I’d have to let go of one to do some stuff anyway for some functions. Plus it makes UI glyphs flash between keyboard and controller which is irritating.

When playing through games with both shooting and driving (or horseback riding in RDR2) I keep my controller handy and swap between it and mkb. I find I generally prefer walking around with a controller until I need to shoot; I end up using the controller 75% of the time.

Fun fact:

In Dutch, two o’s make a long o sound. Dode. “oe” makes the “oo” sound.

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.

Spying on your nudes with their illegal stingray vans between beatings of the mentally ill. The VPD SOP.

Looking at the roadmap on their discord, it doesn’t seem too far fetched at all if the Kickstarter keeps going as well as it is. But I have been following this game for a while, could be fanboy bias.

The lead from that game and the guy making Starship Simulator are one and the same! He also worket on Stage9, that Enterprise D fan model that CBS took down.

I’m also a windbag.

I’m just a fan, I just have been following it for a while. The dev is very active in their discord, does weekly livestreams, lots of the game ideas have been discussed, and these aren’t new questions. These are the same questions everyone asks, so I know the answer. You can see on their discord I’m just a fanboy if you search my username, same one I use here.

Poor old girls. I do love them though. And the constellation. Two small elderly ladies full of character.

They’re already almost half funded on day 1, so they’ll at least get their shot, which is always nice.

I don’t think they plan the same level of fidelity as other games, the character models and rigs are pretty basic, the bulk of it just building content like art for planets. Going from ship to planet in a shuttle, for example, will have a loading screen and it will load you into to a flat word that uses trickery to appear to have a curved horizon. Procedural generation of terrain and stuff is actually pretty easy these days, engines have it all ready to go.

So I’m fairly optimistic! We may not get every feature, but I do think we’ll see a 1.0 in a few years if funding keeps going this well.
