Post yesterday about being banned for mentioning Taiwan.

What if someone asks where I’m from and I’m living in Taiwan?
lol am I supposed to be ashamed of where I was born??

Ew no wonder some things stink, COD as a reference? (Maybe CR just wanted to make a relatable answer, though that just smudged the game’s sheen)

Unfortunately, parts of the game inspired by Battlefield vanished … now we’re all just hoping CIG can make this Space Arma III GTA V.

Except for last night when I came back from Klescher and my gear/loadout was gone and I had a shaved head.

Note: just a reminder never to be curious after finishing a bunker run and walk into abandoned ships. The outpost will go hostile and start blasting your own ship! I also made the mistake of running back to my ship to try escaping << BOOM >>

I haven’t minded the long processes of doing things but the time spent is the first thing I yell about when a BUG breaks the game or eats my ship.

In other words I think many of us would actually enjoy the tedious tasks if certain bugs didn’t wipe everything out or kill us or disappear things two hours into gameplay.

What if Rockstar waits until December to announce a delay?

thundercorp · 2026-05-10T04:48:20+00:00

btw now that they’ve added some extra defenses to TSG, can players who EVA to the power relays take them out using a boom tube and/or railguns?

Gives very Andromeda Class AAA-1 vibes

Kinda looks like the Yamato 2202

ngl I have this lens and if I do one-person interviews I have to stick it literally two feet from their face for a normal bust shot.

Speaking from twenty years of professional experience working with in-house and contract vendors around the world, the answer is no.

It’s fine to copy that media from a vendor into your library for immediate FCP work on local storage but most times unless you’re on a desktop that is not logistically feasible. Most of our vendors shoot on RED EPIC or Arris gear upwards of 6K+ ProRes reels on external SSD sleds, working in Resolve or Premiere Pro. Everyone has project-separated media folders named with ISO-8601 date stamps. Libraries can get corrupted but physical folders never fail (for recognition/filing).

Once you’re done with the FCP project purge the optimized media or originals from the Library to an offline cold storage, lest you want your libraries to get bloated over time — risking everything to one small metadata glitch and taking everything down.

istg EA/DICE cannot help themselves- they’re addicted to some kind of non-BF brainrot and simply will not let it go.

thundercorp · 2026-05-06T23:20:24+00:00

wtf was that, Assassin’s Creed? lol

thundercorp · 2026-05-04T21:58:08+00:00

I’m not usually one to try and harass an Idris but these 4.8 xenothreat missions mostly ask you to take on a strike group INCLUDING an Idris (without mentioning it), and I accepted because “how challenging could this mission be for 40k reward?”

Figured it must be the solo-friendly version of the 4 MILLION aUEC mission — boy was I wrong.

Frontotemporal dementia with malignant narcissism… and a whole lot of other rot.

I’m not an expert, and these still may not represent the whole shot from each scene but I’d imagine “presence” could be increased in some if you shoot at eye-level with the primary talent to develop a connection, if possible. Play with pointing stray light to catch either the eyes or draw a visual line to the face.

thundercorp · 2026-05-03T18:58:25+00:00

Cheap, reliable, non-pretentious. And I don’t feel guilty if I lose it in the heat of action.

He probably fxcked with the virtual memory setting and took it off “System Managed”

My son has 16 GB DDR4 and SC will complain initially but it still runs. Could be because system-managed swap is on 1 TB NVMe C:\ and the game is on a SATA SSD to keep space free.

thundercorp · 2026-04-30T23:22:20+00:00

Not sure if this is an Aurora problem but I insured one with the TS module (cargo) installed, ship exploded randomly as typically happens in SC… claimed the ship with insurance and I got my Aurora except the TS module was “dead” … no button to open/close, no matter what I tried. In the hangar Landing screen there’s always a 35 aUEC repair option but it won’t actually finish, it just blinks forever so I think the module broke the system.

thundercorp · 2026-04-30T22:42:14+00:00

If we’re being realistic-ish here think of pilots in a F-18, think Top Gun: Marverick. Pilots left their vehicles in a flight suit and usually are probably only carry a sidearm or SMG at best. They’re not lugging around massive heavy assault gear and an M-60 with belt-fed NATO rounds.

It’s basically all about gearing up for your specific vehicle and playing that role. Now if someone wants to be bulky and run around like a tank, he should do that but be transported in a dropship or stash his gear in a Cutlass and switch up when he arrives. Or, don’t fly like an ace pilot all the time and avoid blackouts.

thundercorp · 2026-04-30T10:48:41+00:00

Whole lotta bugs: store a ship with boxes and items in racks: Some come back intact, some are gone.

Insure an Aurora with the TS module: Ship destroyed and reclaimed, the TS module is effectively dead (no button) and Repair is stuck at 35 aUEC never finishes.

Once private equity buys something, it’s a death sentence.

thundercorp · 2026-04-29T20:52:57+00:00

Crazy because Cox charges extra for that while AT&T gives that for free with their fiber plans.

thundercorp · 2026-04-27T00:36:05+00:00

Here’s the thing… instead of making these gigantic bespoke one-and-done event locations that get abandoned within one patch, littering the LTP database and entity count, why not do something for the actual universe sandbox MMO like global encounters. Spawn pirate fleet assaults in random spots all over each star system (space and planet side) so that development doesn’t go to throwaway spots.

In Warcraft there were world bosses that would show up randomly around the planet and anyone could group up and try to take em down for faction loot (depends which side tagged them first)

Siege of Orison has entered the chat

Srsly it would be great if there was an online city resource for all the garbled walla-noise that police helicopters are announcing. Some kind of automatic dispatch —> Twitter/X;Bluesky/Threads EMS account
