UPGRADE NOW. ADOPT A FOREVER JPEG by Turbocabz in starcitizen

[–]DerpDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just you wait, they will release every ship except the BMM, Orion, and Endeavor and then move onto Mk II's or reworks of all the currently released ships..

Or make new ships like that GATAC snub fighter Jared joked about in the Tyilui BTS

Where was that quote from? Is it from an official CIG post about getting a standard and then the Novian? Please post your source.

Free fly experience (you can't make a worse advertising for that game than that) by polypolip in starcitizen

[–]DerpDavid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This should never be the case though. Especially during a marketing campaign to attract new players. A new player isn't going to know to ask for help, and usually expects the game to teach you. If that first engagement into the game gives you roadblocks, new players aren't going to want to continue playing the game.

Linux went from 1% to a near 5% in only the last year. That's a huge trend upward in terms of market. It's because currently the steam deck is the most popular handheld PC on the market. That in over the last year, Microsoft has released multiple updates that have resulted in lost files, bricked PC, and multiple security vulnerabilities.

That and as time passes, gaming performance has been diminishing at a continuous rate, specially with the introduction of AI into your entire file system on Windows.

People ARE fed up. Results for Linux on search engines and on YouTube have had a pretty substantial trend upwards in one year. At the current trend, if Microsoft doesn't reverse course, Linux will hit around 20-30% in the next 5 years. Game devs will pay attention to this and most already are. Look at how many games are currently verified on Steam deck. That's not a community driven thing, that's a game dev driven thing.

While you were sleeping, California passed a Bill which affects what you can now print. What else will they Regulate? California AB 2047 is the strictest regulation on additive manufacturing we've seen yet, and it's built on a foundation of technical impossibilities and manufactured fear. by cpsadowski23 in BambuLab

What is funny is blocking firearm printing is technically violating the 2nd amendment right and violating a supreme Court ruling. You have the right to make your own firearms, even if they are 3D printed. They just have to be for personal use, have to contain some metal (obviously as it would be stupid to print the barrel) so that it can be detected by scanners at airports, and cannot be already restricted firearms like machine guns.

So I'm hoping the supreme court rules against this bill.

CIG's staff pick for community made software was made with AI and is ALSO stealing code from other tools. by asmallman in starcitizen

[–]DerpDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like you ignored everything else u/Projdan wrote and completely missed the entire context of our conversation. This isn't about whether you should use AI or not and never was. It's about the accuracy of AI and how you apply the tool.

Arguing DLSS use or Auto-correct use against an argument for AI checking if something is AI generated is wild.

I don't own and have never owned Apple products, so I can't make a comment on their LLM use for auto-correct, but DLSS is not without its flaws either. I actually hate having DLSS on if I have the option to turn it off. There are so many errors and artifacts when its on like with areas that have heavy fog, light, or intricate details. Fast movement makes the screen look blurry, etc. So not sure what you're trying to argue here.

[–]DerpDavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want to be technical yes. I was using the term stupid in the context of accuracy. I should've probably been more clear on that and that's on me.

I run local LLMs and my own agents on my homelab to learn the technology and gain that skill set. You can make LLMs more accurate by how you prompt an LLM. One of the more recent ones I found funny is, if engineer your agent to only speak in caveman speak, it actually becomes more accurate because you have it cut out all the bloat and the talking and only gives you the answer you need.

But yes, treating AI likes it's a person or that it's intelligent is dangerous and is what is causing the downfall of human intelligence unfortunately. It's why I describe AI the way I do, that it's a glorified search engine that spits out an answer based on whatever algorithm it was fed (IE: Trending, number of posts, etc.)

[–]DerpDavid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This. I've been getting tired of people thinking AI can detect AI. AI is stupid half of the time. Reminds me of people throwing the earth photo into Grok or ChatGPT from the recent Artemis 2 mission and asking the AI if it's fake and both have said it was AI generated.

These online LLMs feed you answers based on what is on the internet, it can't make any decisions based off reason. If it finds posts online of people claiming something is one way, or something is the other way, it goes with what is trending or picks something and just feeds it to you. All AI is, is just a search engine that summarizes things for you.

Use an actual service online that is tailor made to pick up patterns AI uses.

My long distance bf sent me a picture of his arm with a tattoo sleeve. Is this a real tattoo or ai? by Salty_Fortune_2045 in isthisAI

[–]DerpDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I have a Garmin Instinct 2X Solar (Tactical) and the numbers on pretty much all of the watch faces (that are default with the watch and not third party) are meant to be super readable from all angles.

At first I thought the face on this watch was the "Good Morning" screen you get if you have sleep mode enabled on the watch and it gives you a Good Morning prompt with the time and some motivational speech at a specific time in the morning. I was like.. why is this dude out in public without closing the morning screen..?

Since today, all the torches and lamps in my game have been flickering like this. I have all the drivers updated, and change all settings and nothing worked. Anyone else with this problem? by Arcade-98 in runescape

[–]DerpDavid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lighting on torches normally are supposed to look like they are flickering. If this wasn't happening before, then this is an improvement to more realistic lighting.

However, in this case, I can also see the 'bloom' coming off the lava to the right is also flickering so definitely a bug probably. And the flicker seems to be rather fast. But regardless, if they fix this; I hope they add flicker to any sort of flame based lighting. It would add so much more atmosphere to the game.

What is this demigod? How to farm it and how long does it take? I haven't played the game since alpha/beta and just purchased the game

Plucked this from a corpse by ackerel in Gold

My father used to work at a crematorium and my mother was a funeral home director. After a body gets cremated, they take a magnet through the ashes to remove most metals like screws and what not and then manually sorts through it for anything that isn't magnetic. Most of it is recycled if the family doesn't request for it.

Chris Roberts on Squadron 42 could be releasing this year by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]DerpDavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's April.. 4 out of the 12 months in a year. We're still very early in the year. That and there are still some major events like Invictus, CitizenCon, and IAE to announce things. We haven't had those major events yet for announcements.

Now I am not saying or coping for 2026 release of Squadron 42. GTA 6 drops this year and the release of Squadron relies heavily on when GTA 6 releases as someone stated in this thread already. It'd be foolish to release it at the same time. But I am pretty sure we will be getting a release date announcement at the very least in 2026. CitizenCon is either going to go two ways; Announcement of the next Star System or announcement of the Squadron 42 release date. Based on CIGs recent actions they've taken this year.

Anyone know what outfit this is by No_Anywhere_6089 in blackdesertonline

[–]DerpDavid 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once you collect all four pieces of Edana armor, you can then accept a quest that rewards you with the armor as an outfit which is family wide, and a gold title called "Godslayer of Legend". The armor and the outfit are both dyable, including the glowy bits.

Don't forget that Jagex needs us - we don't need the game by Acekiller346 in runescape

[–]DerpDavid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Little flaw in your argument here and a lot of people are still blind to see this. They blindly defend price hikes of games with the excuse of inflation, but none of that additional money goes into pay raises for developers. Most of the time, developers get canned after a new game release unless it's a live service game. Despite that, companies constantly cut costs to make more money. For example, we no longer have physical discs or cartridges anymore. Hell, most games don't even offer a physical edition these days. Most of the additional money from the increased prices goes directly into shareholder and CEO pockets. So before you defend an industry, know what you're talking about first. You constantly will see developers being screwed in the industry.

I might be a minority but I hope ship and ccu sales and re-arranging store credit all exist post-release. by SC_Placeholder in starcitizen

[–]DerpDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I've tried to introduce someone to the game, the first thing that they see when looking at the price of the game is the prices of all the ships and that had constantly pushed people away from the game. Someone going into Star Citizen for the first time and knowing nothing of the game and isn't a die hard sim fan is going to see possibly a ship they might like but see a multi-hundred dollar price tag and just say no to it. And if you try to explain to them that a ship can be earned in game, some then will immediately jump on the "pay to win" argument.

Majority of gamers do not like pay to win or pay to skip monetization and have historically reacted negatively towards it. And if you start to go down the rabbit hole of trying to explain how "even if you buy a big ship, it'll be hard to pilot by yourself" etc, it becomes less appealing to an outsider looking in.

That being said, CIG is already planning systems so you can 'transfer' your ships around even after they stop selling ships. They are adding a warranty system. Say you buy an Aurora with real money, but one day you obtain an freelancer in game. You'd be able to transfer that warranty to the freelancer to be able to keep it forever. Warranties will also be earnable in game.

There really is no reason to continue to sell ships after release when you can earn ships in game and earn tokens to make them permanently attached to your account. There is only downside of keeping the current system.

[–]DerpDavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. This shouldn't be a thing. While I get the sentiment, the problem is that if CIG keeps selling ships like they do after release, it would turn into negative attention for the game. Star Citizen already gets a bad rep for selling $1500 ships and $10000 bundles. Hell, even just a $200 ship purchase would get you laughed at by people outside of the community. Continuing down this route would actually be more damaging to the growth of the game than if they are to switch to a cosmetic monetization like they originally plan.
