    Project Wingman Releases Uncut VR Gameplay

    I know it's an indie game, but jesus, that voice acting.

    AMD Cinebench Benchmark Demo at CES 2019 Buries the Current Intel Lineup

    Slight correction: it's AMD's new to Intel's current. Criticizing that comparison is a bit silly because, first, there's nothing else yet to compare to. And second, yes, Intel will be releasing new chips that may--and likely will--outperform the CES demo... but so will AMD. Remember that this is...

    AMD Cinebench Benchmark Demo at CES 2019 Buries the Current Intel Lineup

    The accent gave me half a chub. The self-aggrandizement is what killed it. Still, this was some fun speculation and the points made are valid ones. A midrange SKU matching a 9900K at 65W and under $200? That would be a crazy good value. I'm super excited to see how the rest of the lineup turns...

    Star Citizen Discounts Game Packages after Making Over $7,000,000 in Nine Days

    Same people, same inane comments. So [H] to keep a straight face. :X3:

    NASA's InSight Probe Will Land On Mars Today

    People being excited about the success of something incredibly difficult that may be the crowning achievement of their careers is hilarious? :cautious: Anyway, tremendous achievement. Seemed like it went exactly according to plan. Really pleased to see the MarCOs worked so well; that opens up a...

    NASA Wants Its Deep Space Gateway Habitat To Orbit The Moon By 2024

    Utter tripe. We know everything there is to know about the STS. I challenge you to find one piece of the technological puzzle that we no longer understand because we can't think the same way (or even define what the actual fuck that means).

    NASA Wants Its Deep Space Gateway Habitat To Orbit The Moon By 2024

    Are you implying that knowledge is not passed on? That experience isn't ongoing? Everything we do builds upon accomplishments of the past; Euclid and Einstein both died long before I was born, yet we can reliably learn not only from what they learned in their lifetimes, but also everything...

    NASA Wants Its Deep Space Gateway Habitat To Orbit The Moon By 2024

    Not at all. We've now got decades of experience designing, building, and operating launch vehicles and spacecraft. That's hardly starting from scratch. Hell, SLS is basically just shuttle components in a new arrangement and the thing's been in development for years already. Nor are we starting...

    NASA Wants Its Deep Space Gateway Habitat To Orbit The Moon By 2024

    Well, at least this would give SLS something to do. But like SLS, LOP-G is hardware without a clear purpose. It's not fuel-efficient to stop at a station en route to the moon or on the return trip, nor does LOP-G offer any essential service to such a mission that couldn't be more efficiently...

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    Your definition of logical seems very different from mine. Occam's Razor leads me to a different conclusion, or at least different possibilities. I won't assert any of them as necessarily true because I can't possibly know, which is clearly not a standard of thinking to which you adhere.

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    Same, though I fully expect to see both games because of reasons I don't need to repeat for the 137th time. ;) To answer your question, though--not that I consider myself a "loyal fan"; more of an interested observer--I'd be very concerned if we don't see an eminently playable (i.e., largely...

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    Not sure what you mean about roles/classes, since I don't think there are any rigid confines intended. It's more down to your gear and play style than anything. I really only watch the occasional SC video on Youtube, though, so maybe I'm just not well informed. As for ships, there are quite a...

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    Policy doesn't always mirror a TOS, though. We have an example of that without even looking beyond this story; CIG/SC's TOS describes a 14-day refund policy while the company actually employs a 30-day window. So yes, a policy change to deny refunds would be shitty. No, such a change in policy...

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    Okay, cool. So we can agree that SC is not a sandbox, then? I was trying to roll with your assertion that SC is, if we also describe similar games the same way. Apologies for the confusion. It's not that you have insight I find unbelievable, but that you claim to have so much. It's the specific...

    Star Citizen Backers No Longer Able to Get Refunds

    No. I pointed out a logical fallacy and said there are more than two explanations. Then I offered a what if to illustrate that hey, it might be other things, such as x or y. You then got weirdly obsessed with one of those what ifs and seemingly overlooked the core point and made it entirely...
