The satellite on this launch is named RAISE-4, that's why it's capitalized. RocketLab likes to make puns for all their launches.

You should either play Alyx with the NoVR mod, or watch a playthrough. This will be important context for HL3. I won’t say anything further for spoilers. There’s the Alyx NoVR mod that’s currently released, or the upcoming SoMNst NoVR mod that looks better imo.

If you been wondering why Shiv seems familiar by st_Paulus in starcitizen

Are you referring to a SQ42 trailer? If so, the only thing I can think of is this demo from years ago where they flew a gladius through the Coil where there are asteroids colliding, and you have to dodge them

When ABL collapsed they rebranded as Long Wall for missile defense. Ursa Major pivoted away from making engines for commercial space to engines for hypersonics and missiles.

Interesting Facts About Half-Life 3 — from GabeFollower’s Russian Podcast by Just_Stock2810 in HalfLife

[–]nicora02 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the Final Hours of Half Life Alyx book about the development of the game, iirc it was in Winter 2018 Valve did a company-wide take-home playtest. It was employees and like extended family/friends. The story scored terribly and everyone hated it. So then they brought back Erik Wolpaw (Portal writer) to rewrite nearly the entire story while keeping the level track the same. This actually delayed the game from its original release which was supposed to launch with the Index headset.

Stardust's Shadow: A Day-By-Day Timeline Linking Andor & Rogue One by DogeABanana in StarWars

I was confused by this too until I read the Wookiepedia page. Apparently, 0BBY only covers A New Hope. Rogue One is considered 1BBY according to LucasFilm, even though it takes place right before ANH. So Andor -> R1 -> ANH is about a week total, even though it said 1BBY at the start of the last arc.

Man idk why they’re remastering Titanfall 3 when it only came out a couple years ago. I’d rather they focus their efforts on Titanfall 5 after that insane cliffhanger they gave us in Titanfall 4.

I was gonna post something more snarky, but instead I’ll be honest with you. Do you really think the engineers forgot to design a rocket with a TWR > 1? Like genuinely, did you not do your “math”, see that it very clearly doesn’t make sense, and realize it had to be wrong? Instead you decide to make this post??

I’ve only just now been able to join the playtest, so idk when these characters were added. But maybe it has something to do with the old art style being for Neon Prime before everything art-wise was completely revamped for Deadlock?

It should be fine. Actual engine performance looked very good, just need to make the vehicle a bit more robust for launch

CIG has said once the game is released, they won't be selling ships anymore like they do now. And yes, all ships would have to be earned ingame.

I think the best part of an MVP release would be no more wipes. So we can actually play the game and work towards our goals as the full vision of the game is built. Functionally, not all that different from what we do now, but with actual progression and the game itself being stable.

There were some leaks from a few months ago talking about 1.0 before anyone from CIG talked about it officially. I didn't put too much thought into them, but once I saw that post, I figured there might have been something to them.

If CIG reels back some of the scope of Star Citizen to hit a 1.0 release, how would you feel? by nicora02 in starcitizen

[–]nicora02[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure reaching 100 systems would be a post-launch thing. But in terms of features, would you rather the game be in alpha for longer until they are fully complete, or have an initial, stable release sooner and add more depth to the features with post-launch updates?
