It stops once I uncollapse the whole thread. Then it defaults to whatever reddit sees fit. I like to do this to see the context.

I've no idea what you're referring to. What stops? What defaults? Your original comment said nothing displayed?

LOL, guy is getting downvoted hard all over the place.
Last thing the faithful want to hear is how CIG are using bad coding practices, regardless of years over evidence that supports it.
Don't get me wrong, in development projects there is always this tendency to take shortcuts and not follow best practices. Deadlines, pragmatism, etc, all are factors, but the biggest and more complex the product, the more things can go wrong with each instance of bad practice, and SC is an insanely scoped product with so many interacting parts, even with the best practices and best management, you're going to have problems.
But the faithful seem to not want to accept this, that CIG are only using best practices, and that idiot Roberts and co are ensuring their teams are working to them.
Once again, i refer back to the statement from Roberts about how they intentionally give their devs unrealistic deadlines to motivate them. If that is your idea of project management, then god only knows what other stupid ideas you have.
Because you specifically just asked me about whether I really had experienced that with (give or take) 54 other players as I had asserted.
Also, I was just recounting my experiences in game of late. I'm not goalpost moving in any shape or form.
It was 110 players and how stable that was and next instance is suddenly just "50+" players and that's not goalposting. Sure.
The referred posts dont show up in the discussion when I uncollapse the thread. I even did a search query for the user name in the browser. It's like they are filtered out.
1. I originally said I'm impressed with how relatively stable the servers have been of late considering they've been having 110 people of late on them.
2. You then suggested that they should meet in in location on the large map and have them shoot it out and see what happens.
3. I then said outside of Jumptown (by which I meant I'd seen very large numbers congested in one place) I'd been in a few rucks with 55ish people in them of late and it had been quite stable/good performance even on a less than ideal machine.
4. You then asked me if I'd had these 55 player battles in the recent build (which I wonder now based on the way you're taking this, was you accusing me of lying for some weird reason).
5. I confirmed this.
6. You then accused me of goalpost moving for answering your question.
Yes, I of course meant that 100+ players should meet and duke it out. You answered with the 50+ and I used 55 to confirm that you indeed intended to sell half the pop being just as good as the original 110.
Maybe they just don't grasp object oriented programming. It was a bit of a whacky idea to me until I realised I had been using routines in BASIC all along already.Reddit guy is just articulating good development practices, so of course the backers hate it.
And the SOLID he refers to is this
I own a Super Nintendo, do you want to meet round the back of the bike sheds after school, seen as you own a mega-drive?
Maybe better do your homework rather than meet strangers from the internet?
Its cool. I'll just keep playing the game (intermittently) and enjoying it.
You keep doing what you need to do to

It's a bonanza of sceptical devs...
So this apparent lead gameplay programmer (with experience of VR & AAA MMOs and such), is concerned. They think that a Take-Two/Kerbal style contract cancellation by the investors might occur. And so poison the crowd-funding well for others.
But I'm more interested in some stuff they've said in the past

Man, not being able to figure out how reddit works has you in a bad mood. Understandable I guess.

There is no causality between the two things you perceive.

The sleepy village drums really complement the quiet rant
"It's like a classic car show where all the classic cars are on fire. And everybody's kinda talking about the classic car, but kind of ignoring the fire."
"...Everybody's kind of busy talking about a new handle that they've bought for their roll up window, but the back seat's ablaze..."

I won't disagree with your assertion here, because i've seen videos of it happening, jankfest that it is, it happens.
One does have to wonder though, during organic play, how likely this is to happen, should, miraculously, CIG actually start adding multiple systems.
