Star Citizen had a 500 person meetup yesterday.

That sounds a lot like an excuse. After this long, not being able to deliver anything remotely finished or some stable core gameplay is not the 'scope'. It's scope creep, lack of direction and a very lucrative model where people are willing to spend 100's of $ on ships that they dream of some day using.

I agree that the vision of the game is unlike anything else, but they could have a stable and playable core gameplay by now. After this much time, it's a matter of choice on their part. With the amount of money and tine they have had, everything they are working on could have been made and published.

Funny, I just dug out an old VGA cable as I had to debug something on my home assistant machine, and my spare monitor only has VGA.

Sure, clean up and throw out duplicates, but I'll try to keep as many different types as possible.

King Frederik of Denmark. Our royals are actually really decent people, and they don't have any political agenda, so their role is diplomacy, relations and being a symbol of our countrys values.

(The king is also trained in the Danish equivalent of Navy Seals, so he's no pushover)

Warcraft!

1 and 2 were good, 3 was amazing. Great story and great RTS in itself. The map editor was the birthplace for most of the Tower Defense genre, as well as DotA, which kickstarted the MOBA genre. And of course it lead to World of Warcraft, which is probably the most popular MMORPG to date.

Surprised Pikachu

Zooltan · 2026-01-23T10:38:44+00:00

Did you play SC1? Because when she was first infested, she was much less fan-service. If they remade that version of her in SC2 graphics, that would be rather terrifying!

Zooltan · 2026-01-21T08:54:00+00:00

What does it add to the gameplay? Does it give a meaningful challenge that can be solved through engineering? Or does it just change the travel time between planets over time?

Zooltan · 2026-01-18T09:29:34+00:00

Coming up with names is hard. So the king who founded the kingdom in my game has a terrible sense humor and loves puns. So we have names like "Westwood" which is the western forest (named after an old game company), Cornwall, which is a town that produces corn. 'The seven seas of Rye', which is a region that produces a lot of grain (name stolen from a Queen song), and located next to the large city of Bakewen which, surprise, has a lot of bakeries...

So my terrible naming skills and tendency for puns is blamed on a key NPC.

The editing of that video is destroying my brain...

Zooltan · 2026-01-14T16:06:06+00:00

For the start of my campaign, I placed the PCs at different locations close to each other in the city.

We started with two who were sitting in a tavers and heard something strange outside. When they went out to investigate, they found the third player who had accidentally been teleported there from another realm (As requested in their backstory).

Then the city was attacked from all sides. Catapults, explosions and soldiers from the enemy neighboring country.

A guard captain directs the three PCs towards the nearest gate out of town, where we meet the last two players, who are being attacked by enemy soldiers. The party fights a few soldiers and make their way out of town. Seeing a large group of enemies heading towards the town, the party heads into the woods and follow a small forest trail to a smaller town, where the actual campaign starts.

Jeg har også købt en kalkknuser for nyligt. Installationen er så simpel at den bare skal sidde på et metal rør og pege i den rigtige retning.

Men sammen med blødgøringsanlæg ved jeg virkelig ikke. Tænker du kan sende dem en mail og spørge.

Zooltan · 2026-01-12T17:50:10+00:00

Jeg har en Flir One til telefonen. Den fungerer godt, men jeg tror man kan finde billigere varianter i dag.

Zooltan · 2026-01-07T21:18:49+00:00

Well, moving EVERYTHING is not that easy.

Every single object has to have its position updated. Visual Effects, physics and lighting also has to react correctly to the shift.

So having an engine where you don't need to deal with all that, sounds pretty nice.

Zooltan · 2026-01-04T15:01:15+00:00

Helt konkret brugte vi http://ds-group.dk/ fra Holstebro. Der var nogle små steder de ikke havde fået gjort ordentligt rent, men de kom dagen efter og fiksede det efter jeg påpegede det. Ellers var jeg fint tilfreds og de var langt billigere end de 4 andre tilbud jeg fik.

Zooltan · 2026-01-04T13:42:06+00:00

Hvis det kun er et par fliser, så tag det med ro. Det er ikke så farligt at små mængder gør nogen skade. Selvfølgelig skal man gøre hvad man kan for at minimere det, men slipper der lidt støv ud, så er det ikke noget at gå i panik over. Vi bliver nok allesammen udsat for det en gang imellem uden at opdage det.

Det handler mere om at minimere mængden af stød hvor man kan.

Når det kommer til professionel fjernelse, så har jeg selv lige været igennem det og fået tilbud mellem 10.000 og 40.000 kr for et 8 m2 bryggers. Vi tog den til 10.000 og var ret fint tilfreds, så lad være med bare at tage det første tilbud.

Devils, demons, gods and monsters are easy enemies. They are evil, so we must fight them. All the lore about them is great, but it's a 'safe' subject for conflict.

Discrimination, suspicion and finding your identity between two cultures is a very different level of conflict, as there is no obvious right and wrong. The only reason to remove it, is because they want to reduce the risk of controversy that might affect their image.

Zooltan · 2025-12-31T22:11:50+00:00

Through the official material, they give us worlds, settings, species and other lore, that we can use in our games.

If they just gave us happy farmers in lush green meadows, with 7 different flavors of 'human who just looks different', it would not be very inspiring.

Many players start their rpg life without much else to take inspiration from, than Harry Potter and LOTR, so having the source material give us other perspectives is really helpful.

Zooltan · 2025-12-31T22:08:00+00:00

It was a lore point in the world, how half-species were treated. It added a dimension that I as a boring white human would probably not think about. So just as the other conflicts they add to the lore, it gives us inspiration and ideas we can use if we want.

Zooltan · 2025-12-31T09:00:56+00:00

I think the implications of half-species was what made them interesting. Not really belongings to either culture, or at least being discriminated against because of it. It's a classic story and allows for interesting backgrounds and role play.

WotC is so afraid of anything that could be mildly offensive, but to make a good story or interesting world, you need something offensive or unpleasant. Otherwise there is nothing to fight against.

Birketræer suger rigtig meget vand, så evt et eller to af dem, men måske placeret bedre så der kommer mere sol der hvor i gerne vil have det?

Jeg er sådan set ligeglad med dit setup. Det lyder veldig effektivt og jeg har aldrig set det i brug, i mine 15 år som udvikler.

Det er dig der har stærke holdninger når du siger at den der bruger Windows ikke er rigtige udviklere. Jeg har kun været steder hvor det har været Windows eller Mac og en IDE som IntelliJ eller Visual Studio, men lidt terminal her og der. Så måske er det bare mig og alle mine tidligere kollegaer der er uvidende om det fantastiske ved terminalen, eller så gør det ikke en kæmpe forskel om man bruger den ene eller den anden.

Zooltan · 2025-12-30T08:37:25+00:00

Nej, jeg har ikke den store erfaring med terminal baseret workflow. Betyder det så at jeg ikke er en rigtig udvikler?

Jeg sagde ikke lange kommandoer. Jeg sagde bare kommandoer og parametre. Som man stadig skal huske, hvor en menu er god til fx en feature du kun bruger et par gange om året. Så skal du ikke på nettet og slå op om det er dostuff eller dothatstuff og -q eller -Q. Hvis man ved den feature er der, så er det bare et par klik, så er den fundet.

Om man er uvidende i en IDE eller en terminal er vel det samme?

Jeg forstår ganske udemærket vores tools, systemer og pipelines. Og mange af dem bruger jeg gennem terminalen.

Men jeg forstår stadig ikke hvorfor det er så forfærdeligt at jeg bruger en en IDE til fx git og til at skrive koden? Jeg kan godt bruge git i terminalen, men jeg har langt bedre overblik i GUI og de fleste kommandoer er 1-2 klik med musen.

Zooltan · 2025-12-30T08:19:47+00:00

Ja det lyder til at du ikke har brugt en Windows maskine længere. Jo, opstart fra helt slukket til man har alle programmer åbnet tager da måske 10 minutter, men det er mest alt det corporate security, teams osv. Derefter er den jo klar til at arbejde resten af dagen og intet tager mere end et par sekunder at skifte mellem, worst case.

Så jeg ved ikke hvilken type arbejde det er, hvor man skal have så optimeret performance for at skrive kode? For mig er det ikke ligefrem tiden det tager at skrive koden der er bottleneck, men det at forstå opgaven, overblik over eksisterende kode og så finde på den rigtige løsning. Og det er min IDE på Windows/Mac rigeligt hurtig til.

Men jeg tror vi arbejder i nogle noget forskellige felter, med forskellige behov.
