Just went through better than half the dev video updates. Looks fantastic! I know funding has stopped but I'll be picking up a retail copy the moment it hits! Keep up the great work Josh!

I can't wait to finish university so I can play videogames again. Especially games like what Josh is making. Star Citizen, Elite: Dangerous and Limit Theory are pretty much the only things to look forward to besides death. I can't wait to strap on an Oculus Rift and pilot my way between asteroids and blow other people up (and get blown up in turn) as I explore the 'Verse. I've never played these kind of games before (the closest thing is EVE) so I'm hoping it will be that much sweeter.

Welcome.

No pressure, man. If the games live up to my expectation, that's awesome; if they don't, I'll just get hyped up about something else. Rinse and repeat for the rest of existence.

The words of a young man. I hope I have enough time left to play all three games to death before moving on to the big mystery game.

A very astute observation on your part Cornflakes. Indeed it does.

But Einstein said God doesn't play dice? I'm so confused.

(Actually I'm just not sure what y'all trying to say).

Einstein also said, "I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion". Confusion can be good for you.

I do like this from Terry Pratchett:

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”



Once again I play my part in the slow derailment of a thread.

My apologies NzYme and welcome to the LT forums.

There's another story that, after Einstein made this remark once too often at a meeting, Niels Bohr is said to have complained, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do!"

It's also possible that God did roll the dice... for the seed number of the universe.

Or maybe we were generated based on the name of His goldfish.

And maybe we didn't quite turn out the way He intended and He's been on the line with tech support for the last few thousand years.

I'm hoping they skip the usual first item on the support script where they asked if He's tried rebooting the system.

Yes, I had a feeling this thread was destined to go the way it is actually going. Good stuff though Flat and Gazz.

Before we leave the rails completely ThymineC you may find this interesting: Why Confusion Can Be a Good Thing.

I was unaware that you were a student. Perhaps a little less reliance on the thoughts and ideas of Arthur and Albert will aid you in becoming a great thinker in your own right.

(Or am I being patronizing again. Just trying to help in a small way)

Nice article, but when I said Einstein said that "God does not play dice" I wasn't necessarily agreeing with him.

I just wasn't sure what you guys were saying.
