not really a rant;
But I am a real fan of sci-fi stuff, and yesterday I tried star citizen for the first time (been backer since 2012).
I have not slept yet

Star Citizen.
I have never ever been so excited about a game. It is like a childhood dream coming true.

Anyone playing/developing/supporting Star Citizen?

There is some news

Last day at work this week, feeks good.
On Friday I am flying to Frankfurt to meet up with other Star Citizen fans at CitizenCon

You'd think world-class devs would know not to push to live on friday... but they still did.

So I want to build myself a custom buttonbox for star citizen and warthunder, my hotas really doesn't have enough or fittingly placed buttons for either of those games. What would be the best approach for this?
My first thought was to take an arduino or some AVR chip on an USB connection and write a custom JoyStick driver but that would be a major pain on the buttocks.
Also would I buy an Arduino or go full custom stuff and buy some chip from TI and DIY the board completly?

On the other hand if I'm gonna tinker with stuff on my own time I propably should pick up an ARM processor so I get familiar with the architecture, but that's propably overkill.
But 8-bit AVR is so constrained so maybe if I want to expand and create something like an MFD the poor 8266 would propably just go up in flames.

Has anybody a better idea or knows some ready to rock board for this kinda stuff? Best case scenario with a Joystick driver or something?

Any backend developer here that is playing Star Citizen?

Star Citizen Star Wars Style

Hey guys :)

Just was wondering if any of you guys play Star Citizen and maybe would be interested in grouping up? Or maybe there's even a devRanters orga in the game?
