Yes! Also I believe the guy on the left is half-swording, wherein you grip the blade with one hand to help with accuracy and thrust power.

Let us know how you go :)
That’s what I’m talking about, yeah. And TBH it’s actually closer to the end than the middle. Also I didn’t find it that big of a deal, but your mileage may vary. I hope you can get past what a bunch of others seem to hate because the payoff is so good.
Hm, okay. I’ll look into it slightly more than not at all, when it comes out. :P
Huge emphasis on pvp of all kinds in this article. Think I’m gonna give this one a miss.
In any case it’s not like after it expires you could not trade on being the original. It’s not like others could then come along and claim to have been the original creator. And if you kept making works those would each get their own period of copyright.
$10,000-$20,000 - taxed at 20%
Goll durnit, I know 10,000-20,000=-10,000! How I supposed to pay 20% tax on -$10,000?? Do they pay ME money?? Clearly everythin you said is BULLshit!
(This is a joke just to be clear :P)
I dunno what the patent duration is, but copyright should probably just be 50 years max IMO. If you can’t make bank in that time without changing the idea up (and thus getting 50 years on the new version) you don’t deserve it.
I hate this take. It doesn’t look stupid at all, it looks cool.
There is a hurdle late in the game which you’ll know when you hit it, just in case you somehow haven’t heard about it. Do try to get past it though, the payoff is worth it.
See also “ornitho” (relating to birds) and “pter” (wing) creating the term ornithopter for a heavier than air vehicle that flies by flapping its wings. Famously seen in Dune, but I think also back in the day people actually tried to make them, long before aircraft existed.
They only suspended the accounts of people who did it way more than necessary to test it. The exploit process degraded server performance, which got in the way of other testing. It makes sense if you think about it.
That is, according to the post on their forums, exactly what they did. The people who were clearly just doing it to grind money as fast as possible without regard for the effects it had on the servers and without attempting to report the results of this “testing” (because they weren’t testing, or even playing arguably) got a suspension, not a perma ban.
Okay, so I was around for this, so I saw what was involved and the outcome. To do the exploit involved filling your ship with some valuable cargo and then leaving it parked in a spot where it was technically not landed, in order to intentionally glitch the cargo grid. This would then let you sell the same cargo over and over.
The result of this was huge amounts of ships littering the landing zones in a completely unintended way, which would tank both the FPS of anyone else in the area and the server tick rate. This in turn makes the game look worse, it hampers efforts to test other things, etc etc.
As for the testing of exploits argument, CIG did say in their announcement that such is actively encouraged. They only suspended accounts for people who were doing it over and over and over and over and over. Basically anyone who was just using it to grind huge amounts of in-game money and making the play and testing experience for everyone else worse. Most of these people weren’t even reporting the bug.
Probably a lot of them were selling the credits on ebay, which… yes, is a thing, sadly. Even though progress is still being wiped occasionally, there’s still gold farmers. There’s actually a warning you have to click through every single login for this, but I’ve seen people argue for it, the idiots.
BTW, it’s in alpha right now, not pre-alpha (which I don’t personally believe is a thing).
Wait, they captured the Blyatpanzer?
Poor bastard looks like a Dark Souls early mob. :(
Do people in the US actually refrain from voting because their candidate is “boring”?
I’d be a lot more willing to root for epic if they had spent any time at all making EGS preferable. I would prefer steam over their mess even if EGS was 20% cheaper all the time. Tho I go for GOG over either of them whenever possible.
LCDs came in just in time for me to be attending LAN parties in uni. Got sick of lugging my CRT up the stairs once a week pretty quickly and was glad when I managed to get my hands on an LCD. I can’t even remember if I noticed the downgrade, I was so thrilled with the portability.
When they aren’t victimising each other, that is. Don’t forget, the “persecution” the pilgrims were fleeing was not being allowed to persecute each other as hard as they wanted to.
