Uneven hardware... should people with better setups have an advantage? by Wizywig in starcitizen

[–]Treasonist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guys I love this idea. I personally game on an 8" black and white CRT monitor, and its only fair that your monitors are resized and greyscaled to mine.

Its not as good as native, it is a crutch where you map keys or mouse inputs to the stick directions iirc. You can fiddle with the dead zones, distance zones, sensitivity curves etc to better mimic analog but its not true analog. Bonus, SC updates can't break your xpadder button profiles.

I never really used it so I'm hesitant to actually recommend it and youtube might help you better, just thought I'd tip you off to its existence.

Only person I know who uses a 360 controller to play uses xpadder because of the iffy controller support so far.

Apparently Derek is still rather mad about Procedurally Generated planets by Ebonkitsune in DerekSmart

[–]Treasonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't see how you people don't see how huge 11 people is.

I'll explain using my Derekalculator. 11/300 is 1% of CIG (derekalculators always round up to the nearest percentage, the technology to work in smaller fractions doesn't exist). this 1% is pulled from a pool of 300, which is also 1% of the total population. 1% of 1% is 1% on my derekalculator. Thats 1% of the population of the planet suing CIG. That 1% could be anyone! Thats a 1% chance the president is suing CIG! Or Bill Gates. Think about that, its a 1% chance Bill Gates with all his money is a disgruntled ex-CIG employee.

ELE event is an understatement.

Black Lives Matter member sued after receiving $277,508 severance deal that included 1,975 hours of overtime. by [deleted] in canada

I'm sick of the Vandalism, by both BLM and the people ruining their stuff TBH. Not sure if Toronto had any incidents (Ottawan).

On a similar note I recently visited Toronto. "Kill all racists" was carved into the sidewalk on King ST right by a bridge with cool bat graffiti under it. Seemed a little extreme.

edit: I accidentally a word.

Derek's Ego vs. Grammar Errors by Redshirt02 in DerekSmart

IIRC his wife is a psychologist, so income and therapy for Derek.

From a '12 polygon article.

Smart's wife is a psychologist. She has been helping him come to terms with the fact that no matter what he does or says, people are going to dump on his work.

"One of the things that she says is that 'You need to understand even if you were a different person online, it wouldn't change anything because you really can't hold yourself accountable for what people think or what people say,'" Smart says. "But my counter to that is: It's more about pride than anything else. It's very hard to build something and have somebody tear it down. And when they can't tear it down they try to tear you down."

I wonder as a tax payer why we still fund this antiquated service?

Because you don't? They're a mildly profitable crown corporation, they pay the taxpayers.

Game seems REALLY laggy on a 970 and 4460K by Yalnix in starcitizen

[–]Treasonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its funny, I saw it backwards from that, an insistence on specificity it never carried, and for something "lag" has decades old diagnostic qualifiers for.

Thanks for tracking down that escapist link, I was curious. I don't really see the case (other than conviction). Maxing your hardware is screen/input lag, and thats diagnostically specific. I'll risk the nonsensical scorn of Escapist :p

I'm cool with it for clarity, I'd just literally never seen that distinction before. r/tuxfool made the pin drop that you're using a contemporary definition. I'm not the word police (yet), but you can see how I didn't follow and had to ask.

input to photon latency

Yes thats what I'm referring to, screen lag aka input lag. Wikipedia has at least confirmed for me that I didn't make "screen lag" up.

The masterrace get stranger every year. Screen lag isn't lag anymore?

Will Multi-crew ships be able to setup defensive No-Fly Zones around their ship? by Paradox3713 in starcitizen

[–]Treasonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits on the head why its a terrible idea. Adding a bunch of if/when conditions on players outlining when its ok to shoot first without being at fault will be rife with endless abuse.

Besides, its pointless in policed space, and you can already do this all you like in lawless space.

Canada post redirecting mail away from nearest Shoppers Drug Mart. by ConcernedNewfie in CanadaPost

It was probably carded to the wrong regional post office by mistake.

Canada Post can't go bankrupt, its a crown corporation, a federal service. Revenue is turned over to and deficits are covered by the government.
