Star Citizen’s custom joystick looks positively stunning

Could be the best new HOTAS concept in a decade

To be fair, it was Mad Catz that destroyed Saitek through selling shoddily built and broken products...not Ci¬G. It took Logitech buying the Saitek brand name out to revitalise the X series hotas again. :)

Logitech...arhh. Had five year old logitech mouse, decided to retire that after it started to give out double clicks on single clicks, and other old age problems. Bought new one, same model 5 months use, and it started same problems now....HOW HARD it is to make working microswitch nowadays. I still have my original Amiga mouse from 1991, and it still works same as new....

I like the 2 year no quibble replacement warranty on Logitech hardware. Strange that all my keyboards, mice, hotas and other Logitech stuff all develop a fault just before the 2 year warranty expires...isn't it? :whistle:

Logitechs joystick not so pleased, though only its twist the stick functionality has borked. No problem I replaced that functionality by pedal controls from el cheapo rally wheel+pedals controller. Otherwise stick works nicely enough.

Ooof, so CryTek who have apparently been suffering financially for a long time still managed to get it in 4 years ago while CIG with their 700 people and 500 million-ish are still trying to get it done.

When did CIG first announce they were going to add support for Vulkan? Feels like years ago.

I stand by my previous prediction (probably years ago now) that CIG has been waiting for Amazon to do the heavy lifting and add it to Lumberyard for them. Although in trying to figure out the status of Lumberyard it seems like Amazon's now pushing O3DE, an open source successor, so they don't have to keep doing in-house engine development. So either CIG will have to do it themselves, or make another engine switch. But the last one only took 2 days, right?

CIG also isn't "begging" me for a dollar to make space dreams come true. Your point being?

Not sure I understand this. Are you suggesting that CIG business model is not based in one of the heaviest and wildest monetizations out there all the while having been in the red not too long ago and even needing external investors (which Chris Roberts personally stated long ago to not need)?

Do you really think that if sales were to stop today Chris Roberts would be able to finish the game as sold and promised?

Or are you just saying that you don’t feel personally and anecdotally subject to that monetization or concerned by those obvious finance management issues?

I am not talking about what experts are saying. I am talking about what you have made of it.

How do you think implementations of these types of APIs are distributed? As libraries. "API" and "library" are two conceptually different things.

Have you seen me claiming such a thing? Could you provide a quote?

This has nothing to do with "bad" code. I am talking about how categorically you approached the topic, without understanding it even beyond the first paragraphs of the Wikipedia article on Vulkan. Because the issue is not Vulkan or DirectX. The issue is that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about but you dress it in a veneer of certainty.

To put it simply, it is about arrogance.

Probably nobody here is an expert on these APIs. This is why we are generally not trying to make the topic "obvious" and use categorical statements when touching upon it. And this is why nobody will seriously discuss it with you if you keep approaching the issue this way. We can google as well.

The source you provided has nothing to do with anything I said. It only confirms that problems that can be efficiently parallelised can be efficiently parallelised.

Normally I would not nitpick on such a detail and give you the benefit of the doubt, given the context. Unfortunately, you have not earned it with your attitude.

Ha ha ! yes of course, I am unable to understand the underlying problems that parallelism can bring. Do you know me ? Have you seen one of my work ?

"It only confirms that problems that can be efficiently parallelised can be efficiently parallelised."
Because I was stupid enough to think that you would extrapolate on possible benefits that this could bring to SC. No, here I need every sentence to be in black and white. So... If some tasks in the current renderer can be parallelized (and devs said they know some), perhaps after trying to parallelize them, only after fine tuning and extensive tests, the outcome might be better than the current one with DX11. It's good enough for you ? Is there enough conditional ?

You are simply unable to recognize that 4 dedicated teams working for several months on a gen12/vulkan evolution perhaps are able to use parallelism where the game needs it, perhaps implement direct access to GPU where it is necessary and perhaps add some other specific behavior of Vulkan, all resulting in a potential FPS gain.
Your input is limited to a "and if the mech team puts diesel in the gas engine, it won't work as good as before". Just a big lol.
Try to write this simple phrase (and add 10 lines on the incompetence of CIG afterwards if you want) : "perhaps the switch to gen12/Vulkan will get more FPS to the game". I'm 98% sure your are unable to do it.

Jared Huckabee is moving to the UK on a 5 year visa, alone, he doesn't seem overly thrilled about it.... he has a wife and kids.

So, he'll be moving around March.

As much as I enjoy taking the mickey out of the hobo, i didn't know he had a wife and kids and feel sorry for the guy having to leave them. And yeah, he doesn't sound happy.

But, if he refuses to go, would CIG drop him? Who else would hire him at anywhere near his current salary?

Perhaps the first time i've felt somewhat sorry for this uber lying shill.

EDIT: also, 5 year visa doesn't mean he is going for 5 years. Although since the idea is CR is going to "help" get SQ42 finished, 5 years might not be enough!

CIG obviously have something going on, they aren't moving in to a huge new building and hiring 700 new staff for nothing, but I don't get why he would need to move, he can do what he does from anywhere, he currently hosts his show from home.

If you want to get rid of someone without paying them off, ask them to change location. If you really want to get rid of them, make that location another country, thousands of miles away.
