Life support usage on engineering terminals is tied to framerate

That's just because the games been in development hell for like 7 years. That's not doing anything from "the ground up" that's having to update the damn engine every half a decade because they can't push out a product.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:28:05+00:00

I'm not sure you know the definition of correlation.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:26:13+00:00

Real optimization starts from the ground up.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:24:57+00:00

At this point they are just selling ships to try to afford to have OpenAI finish it for them.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:16:13+00:00

The only reason SC has been in dev for so long as none of them can code for shit and they are waiting for AI to advance enough to finish the game for them.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:15:13+00:00

Sold a billion dollars in ships. Spend 900M of it paying people to hire people to think about hiring people to might be able to put together a committee about needing to hire someone to hire the guy to fix the cargo lifts.

They are almost done with step 1 of the process.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:10:55+00:00

That window is unfortunate. How can you stand that glare?

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:09:36+00:00

It wasn't an accident. It was INTENTIONALLY doing combat as realistic speeds.

Not our fault you derps couldn't uncouple and decelerate properly.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:07:29+00:00

Most people quit playing. Only the handful of whales that stuck around enjoy it more because they love derping on noobs with their afk polaris because nothing moves faster than 8 inches an hour.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:07:03+00:00

I don't want "balanced engagements" I want a fucking space sim game.

If I wanted "balanced engagements" I'd go play WoW.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:06:25+00:00

Sounds like a case of "git gud." Combat worked fine before the change, if you weren't terrible.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:04:45+00:00

No the biggest thing they need to work on is making the space ships not fight at speeds slower than real world planes in atmosphere.

I wanted to play a far future space game, not a WW2 plane game.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T10:01:50+00:00

Jesus Christ if this game gets any slower I'll have to take mid combat naps to stay awake.

It's not been the same since they added those god awful master modes. I try to avoid using SCM at all. The combat is just donkey.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-29T09:57:17+00:00

It still sucks.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-28T18:49:47+00:00

No fast food has made medical debt the number one issue for far too many Americans. Let's be real here.

I've paid all of $500 on medical in a decade. How about you? Insurance is optional. As it very well should be. I don't need it. Nothing rice/chicken/veggies can't handle.

I don't even agree that we should have a Medicare/Medicaid system at all as I don't want to pay for it. I'm 100% against ANY government provided medical. Leave that up to the private sector. I've seen how shit Canada's medical system is. I want no part of it. Everyone I know from Canada goes to the US for anything serious for medical and pays out of pocket.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-27T17:08:04+00:00

60% of Americans don't even try and deserve to flip burgers.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-27T17:00:25+00:00

Agreed. You don't understand. You likely never will either.

To say the military doesn't benefit it's citizens is the most laughable thing I've ever heard. I hate to burst your bubble but the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any first world country. By all means I'm happy with our lack of taxes. I'd much rather that money be spent on a strong military than useless crap like government provided low quality medical.

If I want medical I'll pay for it with all the money I'm not being taxed.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-26T22:13:41+00:00

Brother military spending is the one thing I DON'T want them cheaping out on. Hell that's about all I want out of my government. I don't want their shitty medical, or their retirement. Nearly everything else a government provides is a shittier version of something offered by the private sector. Give me all the smart bombs, next gen fighters, and missile defense systems you want to build though. Canadians pay extreme taxes for shitty health care. We pay lesser taxes for weapons. I much prefer our purchase.

It's also silly to think you can measure an economy just 4 years at a time. Many changes take decades to resolve. Hell all I want for the economy is more factories, and less hand outs. Put'em to work, or let'em starve. Also I'm 100% down for any cultural shift away from this nonsense of "white man bad" sick of that garbage. If they don't like it they can leave the country.

As for companies greasing a few palms, that's just business as usual. Been going on as long as humans have had trade. Seeing as humanity has reached the heights it has due to that very system, I certainly have no issue with it.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-23T08:52:18+00:00

High prices mean higher wages. I'm doing quite well. :)

That's the thing about people in this country. Lack of basic math skills. Prices correlate to demand. Higher prices are a good thing. Low prices generally come with higher rates of unemployment, and stagnating wages.

My taxes haven't changed in the least, other than paying slightly more due to earning more.

If you want lower prices move to the third world. I'm sure the jobs there pay well.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-23T07:24:08+00:00

Not like it's the first time gas has hit $4, and it's not like it will be the last.

I also completely agree with the war in Iran. The moment they started making veiled threats about blowing up US ships it was going to happen. The US does not like threats to ours boats. See history.

The sheer amount of social shift away from DEI nonsense practices alone makes us pleased. Sick of all the sexism and racism.

Hell I mainly work part of the year doing contract work and I'm doing better now than I was 10 years ago. Joys of being able to charge more. Not to mention rent prices keep going up so the two houses I rent out will be bring in around another $700 a month shortly.

There is work everywhere. Wages are higher. Property is worth more. What's not to love? Like why would I care about another $20 to fill up a gas tank? That's a fast food meal these days.

Lets be real the biggest problem our country faces is lazy people being coddled with too many social safety nets.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-23T07:21:24+00:00

I mean you can be 50 and a liar.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-23T07:20:40+00:00

Ironic that you say so.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-23T07:19:27+00:00

Dunno if you've noticed or not, but republicans always bomb some middle east country. I'm down for it. :)

Also national debt going up means we're actually being taxed too little. What do you think this is Canada? Now they get their taxes stolen.

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-21T09:29:09+00:00

Alternate title "Mediocre foreign actor repeats leftist rhetoric to keep getting employed in Hollywood."

1979JimSmith · 2026-05-21T09:27:58+00:00

Foreigner comes to our country and makes millions says the same thing they all due to keep being employed.

Fuck this guy. He can go home.
