State of the Game

Are you back in-game yet? Or just haunting the forum for a while?
Back playing, but with limited time.

My casual job turned into a full time job, so time is limited these days.

Unlike some I don't do "ghost who posts" when not playing :)

But it very nice to come back here (and to the game) and not have to poke myself in the eye after reading a forum post (still facepalming at them tho). I have just been in a game that toxic takes on new levels, this forum could never hope to achieve.
 
facebook's metaverse has all the hallmarks of every dystopian vr laden movie ever made. They're working on the parts that really matter first though, like corporate sponsors selling virtual products for real world money
Also steamrolling the works and sites of an artist who already was using the name Metaverse. Why try to buy the rights outright when you have the heft and power to just delete all their online accounts and work?

:D S
 
this location isn't entirely bad though. The "what's new" still puts it in with everything else so it's like nothing changed at all. It's not like the thread survives on new posters having to find it by just browsing the forums like plebes

we just can't say it's more popular than the entirety of odyssey combined anymore.
Odyssey got more popular :)

Yeah I saw it in Whats new and thought, it couldn't be the same thread. But it was... but I am not going back and reading the approx 2500 pages I missed (pretend I gave you all a like)
 
How odd are games?

Half-Life: Alyx - I play it on this PC, solid 90 FPS in VR on the Index: Then play it on my laptop (I7 / GTX 1070) 90 FPS and lower detail textures, but still very good graphically!
After the Fall: Ditto... and very playable
EDO: I play it on this PC and can set it to 80 FPS and it is mostly good, mixed High & Ultra settings: On my laptop it is a no go... Not if I've eaten in the last few hours anyway...

I know EDO has issues....
 
Have you tried being funny?
Wash your mouth out! 😤

There is no room for levity on this forum!

Bloomin forrin measurements...

So about 3 ft wide, 2 ft 10 inches long and 13 inches high, then? 🍻
I did lol at 'roughly' and then gives measurements to the centimetre. I'd have just said 'about three foot square and a foot tall' :D

I'm tempted once its 'done' to take it apart totally and rebuild it from the ground up now that I know how it goes together to eliminate bodges I did along the way.
This was the point where you crossed a line into obsession. Just in case you find yourself looking back in a few years and asking where it all went wrong.

well, what kind of games was Cobra working with prior to elite? rollercoaster tycoon kind of complexity.

During kickstarter they probably had to do so much work on the engine either in the base code or as hacks specifically for elite that it's unlikely it's doing many things ideally where as those other games are probably built from the ground up specifically for the game or using an engine that's built primarily for those kind of games.

it's such a departure from the previous kind of games the engine was built on that it's probably pretty surprising that it does as well as it is. But i think we're seeing the limits given the complexity of scenes in odyssey and the order of operations in rendering those scenes not having been something designed into it from the ground-up.

actually they used feet and inches, but lets not get pedantic.

And usually when a guy says its roughly this long, they are overstating the messurement :)
