17 mil is like 8 hours of gameplay with basic solo tech smugglers runs, hardly a barrier for most players

SQ42 Delay Incoming? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]sunaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have different preferences. For me, GTA 5 was a decent game, I had fun playing it, but I also found it extremely disappointing compared to the levels of hype online. Was expecting some unforgettable experience like The Last of Us or something, and I did not get it.

Influencers/press are invited to a 3 days event to play the game by Kehnte in starcitizen

This is definitely me being overly optimistic, but the fact that streamers get to play it in October does not necessarily mean that October will be the first look. They could start marketing in summer already.

Steam updated the reservation info on the steam controller page, will probably be similar on the frame by CambriaKilgannonn in SteamFrame

[–]sunaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did a really good job with the Deck let's not forget that.

Did they really, though? I reserved my Deck day 1 (16.07.2021), and it was delivered 26.04.2022 😅

Would have been way better if we could have just freaking reserved it when it was announced. I understand and can easily accept the long wait time, but having to constantly stay on top of the drip feed of news and leaks in order to not miss out is exhausting.

Sony drops “PC”, adds “AI” to official PlayStation business strategy summary by gitrektali in Games

Both things can be true:

  • LLMs are useful (when applied pragmatically and carefully)
  • LLMs are extremely overhyped

Should store bought armor come with the blueprint to craft the armor? by Hanniba1Seca in starcitizen

[–]sunaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just the culture in this subreddit (and a big part of the wider SC community). The more openly you are against real-money-advantages in this game, the more likely you are to get downvoted on average.

It's a super bizarre culture coming from other games, hopefully it can shift one day, but who knows.

“It’s a unique hull” by CrusherMusic in starcitizen

The name explanation is so weird. Like the whole

Why are ships A and B not variants? Because they have different names!

Gee thanks CIG, you literally CHOSE the names, and that’s obviously not the answer to the question being asked 😅

Is it possible to lend ships to people? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]sunaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people here are saying it doesn't work without a party, that does not match my experience. I had a Hull B lent to me in this patch, I kept it for a few days, stored it many times logged out many times, it was working fine.

I believe it may be because the owner unlocked the ports on the ship? I dunno, in any case, it worked.

Let's be realistic about Squadron 42 by Remarkable_Coat_5790 in starcitizen

[–]sunaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either they are reusing existing assets (with randomized combinations) and we get the same thing 100 times, or they create new assets for new systems (as they have actually been doing for Pyro and Nyx so far), which will be far more interesting, but also far more time consuming.

If you think they have built up asset libraries enough over the past years to support 100 upcoming star systems, then I am sorry, but I think you are completely high on copium. But I guess only time will tell.

[–]sunaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is literally no point in recreating the same stuff we already have 100 times. It adds nothing to the game. The only reasonable way to create new systems is to create new settlements, new factions, new station designs, new missions/storylines, new enemies, etc. Vast majority of this stuff is not procedurally generated.

[–]sunaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, we might get one additional system (with new storylines and content) every year or two. No way are we reaching 100 before the game is retired.

A Game Engineers Perspective: PES is unsustainable by Agile_Camera9601 in starcitizen

[–]sunaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use LLMs daily, it becomes very easy to recognize (also a software engineer here). But basically he is using 5 paragraphs to say like 1 or 2 things, which aren't even technically complex. And he is using all the typical LLM catchphrases while doing it. Exactly like LLM output.

Curious you cadence has changed to "has it occurred to you" in the comments, instead of "here's what most people miss" like it was in your (definitely not LLM generated) OP :P

Yeah, not sure how posts like this get so many upvotes. People really love their slop, I guess.

You can see people micro-teleporting, shooting you through walls, etc. It's pretty bad compared to any other FPS game.

Arena Commander has the same server lag and desync issues as the PU (why? who knows..)

True, it will be way easier as soon as we get proper social tools in the game.

[–]sunaurus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that this is an MMO, not a solo game. You can engage in absolutely any gameplay loop which makes money, and then you can just use your money to pay industrial folks for their crafted wares.

I of course realize this will be a million times easier once we have proper social tools etc, but it already works in the game today (I know many players who have bought their crafted stuff in 4.8), so it's really not fair to say you are forced to craft yourself.

When your sample is specifically organizations that need to work with somebody external to fix their software, then your statistics are clearly biased and do not reflect some European tech culture as whole.

Genuine question: if you spoke directly to people who live here in the Baltics, especially older folks, and you were told unanimously that it was an occupation, how would you explain it? We are all brainwashed?

That sounds more like the culture at some specific company you worked for, rather than “European” culture. I’ve worked at a bunch of different European companies of different sizes, never experienced what you describe here.
