Yep. That's a serious problem, as is people misconfiguring their systems and devs making bad software for it. It's like people saying that cookies are terrible because they put in one tbsp of salt instead of one tsp, or some dunderhead made a cookie recipe that forgot sugar.

Blog - Powering the Rift My guess is that OVR will have a validation process before they will sell something on their store or give it the OVR seal of approval. That validation process will involve running it on one of those machines at some detail setting and testing whether it maintains a...

Not sure what you mean by replace, but while you wear the rift you'll be incapable of using your monitors. There are also a variety of desktop apps that are pretty cool but more focused on allowing you to limp along with your desktop to run the next VR game without having to take the rift off...

Nope! I'm just here to play with my dad.

500k is enough to pay a post doc and a grad student to make some matlab models + a visual + a research paper over a year.

Could build almost all of it in the ground too.

It's likely that every game will have graphics settings and many games won't be terribly demanding. However there will be a good amount of games that only work on a NVIDIA GTX970 (what OVR said is the recommended minimum) at minimum settings. In other words, you might be able to play 90% of...

No way. The right play is to announce preorder dates + footage + demoes of the VR games they've got to drown out the reaction to the price and control the narrative. I think they'll do that at CES and open preorders during CES. I'm expecting $450.

I'm not sure. I've mostly been following around my dad in a zone called Deadhills and haven't started raiding or doing end-game stuff yet. PoK is full of people, mostly lagging the shit out of one corner of the zone by afking there and getting area buffs.

I think their art style is nostalgia based now. I always thought their low-polygon usage was good for its time and the original art was interesting, but that's all overshadowed by nostalgia. I restarted Everquest (Bristlebane) and yeah, every old model and texture feels like a warm blanket.

Same here. Not that I know much about rocket science. It just seems like unless there was some new technology enable by the weight, making a very large rocket would not confer cost savings.

I started playing again casually with my father on the Bristlebane server. Anyone else active on BB? I'm tri-boxing a mage, bard and warrior, all level ~96.

That was pretty much us, we played in one of the first tests and I don't think anyone wanted any more. I keep up to date with this thread to see if it gets any better. I think our guys in the test are playing with MH.

Ceteris paribus, if they had Lucy Lawless, Viva Bianca, Katrina Law, Ellen Hollman et all doing full on sex in the show it would probably heighten my enjoyment of it. But they wouldn't have gotten those actresses to do porn. The best they could have done is bring in Sasha Grey or someone to...

Same here, sleet / freezing rain. I wanted some snow but

I find that those opinions usually come from 2 types of people: 1. People too dumb or lazy to learn tools like apache. And if you're too dumb/lazy to learn the easy way, you're too dumb/lazy to do it the hard way. 2. People who just want to make the component for the fun of it. In this case...

I'm no expert but I feel like there's actually a lot of protection with using a credit card. Not only because banks in the US compete with each other to offer identity theft protection and insurance, but when you pay via credit you're using the banks money. And if there's some theft, that's the...

I think all the PvP guilds are playing this in some capacity. We have a group of folks playing, not sure what we'll do for release yet.

Yeah Ashur really took off at the end and started acting circles around everyone.

I don't know what you're saying here, but I am sure they have a very coheisve version control and broad QA system. But this iterative process is part of their QA system, so these player tests are going to include a lot of issues.

I don't know about SC but this is very common for one 'experimental build' to be more stable. It's also very common for the X.1 build to be more stable than X.0, because X.0 adds a bunch of features and X.1 fixes them.

horizontal scrolling was not a good choice in that ship matrix. I can see capital ship gameplay being really amazing, but I'm not sure how much constraints would need to be put in the game to ensure capital ships make sense. I could see some fun gameplay where PRX could have a massive...

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I did a thorough analysis of all the C++ logging libraries a few years ago and found our own, somewhat basic, system was superior for our needs. There's so much variety to what you can do with logging that other people's libraries will have cruft you don't want. But rolling your own logging...

So anyone who signed up can play the game now? How many people are online at a given time? Also when is the javelin destroyer goign to be in the game? Or any other large-player ownable ships.

I bet there's some diminishing returns on how fast rubber can contract. We will have to build a series of trampolines to mitigate this issue.

A key component here is that the rocket can be damaged and worn by all stages, not just the touchdown moment. Previous stage 1 rockets aren't re-usable and didn't have to overcome that wear from repeated use. This one does.

I still want to see a good space-rocket launch thing. Maybe using magnetics, maybe using huge bungee-cords!

Don't do it! We automated a thing earlier this year by creating a javascript API that would support very basic routines. It was pretty successful. I'd recommend using an existing scripting language and not try making your own. Making your own will add a lot of development cost, will be...

Re: Christmas time and prime slots. Mine and my wife's family have always been super accommodating with timing for birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving etc. I mean we'll celebrate birthdays a week or two away from their actual date, and Thanksgiving/Christmas can be whenever. There is no...

Tolan, I don't really know what argument you're making here, so let me restate my argument: Having a smooth landing on the rocket is a massive step toward attaining their goal of an inexpensive refurbish and refuel, but it's just one step. I imagine they have a lot more work to figure out all...

There is nothing gentle about what that rocket did, and that rocket is in no way cheap.

I don't think we'll be able to maintain a counterweight at 100,000km, keep it in a clean orbit and build a ribbon that is light and strong enough.

I don't think space elevators will ever work =\

Ikindof see it here: edit: You know, I don't see it. I agree with you.

Is Luke really all that powerful in the canon universe? I know that he's supposed to be messianic in post-movie fiction, but is that eradicated with the new movies?

Please enjoy the newly enabled BB Code in this thread.

Are you talking about motorcycles/cyclists driving between cars in traffic? Assuming yes, I don't know what they specifically do. Or what they do if they are parked and some jackhole comes and stands close to the vehicle. This presentation might give you some idea of how their processing...

I agree and think his quest/disappearance is related to this balance nonsense.
