So, are you actually going to be brewing Bitter Tears? This could be amazing. Also, have you checked your local laws regarding giving away/selling beer and stuff?

Yeah I'll give it a shot brewing it. It looks like a really interesting style that could be pretty challenging since the style seems to call for a very clean, crisp beer that allows the salt, coriander, and lactic acid to take center stage. I've also never done a sour beer before and might have fun experimenting with lacto for the first time. As for giving/selling it selling beer is absolute 100% LOL PRISON gently caress no without a liquor license. It's legal to ship alcohol assuming you do it the right way.

lol you guys weren't kidding when you said they have nothing to talk about. Holy poo poo.

I skipped through some of it, Sandi arrived, the two video guys immediately left, they were discussing what everyone had done that week. So Sandi took over as the center of attention and made jokes about firing people in Austin and making obnoxious comments to them. I don't really understand the motivation behind these jokes, I assume she's not denying the fact that people got fired in LA when James etc left, so I don't see how joking about firing people isn't stupid and fails as a "this doesn't happen" joke, even if she wasn't involved in the firing according to her she's the bosses wife and that was never a secret. Which makes the obnoxious comments joke worse, as it seems to suggest that did happen too, if you're trying to follow the twisted logic of someone trying to defend themselves incredibly badly with fake humour when you know they are burning inside with rage.

Anyway, later she spoke about this new design your own space helmet video show, great another video show, and how she'd like some free time this new years but doesn't look like it'll happen, same as last year, work work work, no time for myself. Hey, maybe ask for a raise love, if :lesnick: was making lovely comments about the long hours he worked I'd be laughing at him too but I assume you get paid a fuckton more.

She also spoke about interviewing CS managers in the UK and how she had to get up early, hence the sunglasses, and :lesnick: and her had another secret interview later, also talked to three publicist companies as "going wider" next year, whatever the gently caress that means.

As a reality tv show, "Cloud Imperium Games" season 3 officially sucks, all my favourite characters got written out and looking at the 6 characters we now have it's really stretching reality to think these people could ever be involved in a real life game studio :-

:lesnick: The nerdy pc gamer stuck in a love affair with a failed hollywood director/producer who used to make computer games.
:lesnick:'s wife who seems nice but totally uninterested in pc games, deals with subscriptions and is learning Chinese for her résumé
The cast of 48 Hrs, 1 black guy, 1 white guy, totally uninterested in pc games but team up to track down video editing bugs
Some random guy that used to pick up baseball litter and somehow ended up employed, thinks he's funny but tends to comes across as if he's being using bath salts again.
The bosses wife, the most interesting character but far too crazy to be believable as a real person.

Also while I remember Sandi said the Austin office isn't closing and plenty of people there as part of her fake humour act.

quote:

Disco and Hennessy shot a lot of content that’ll be in future AtV’s. 14 segments.
I believe from what Derek & that Bandit guy on twitter who leaked stuff too, that they are closing that office and moving to a cheaper Austin location and I also assume they shot 14 episodes worth of content in Austin just to cover that up. If that's true this intended deception by filming stuff to use later is only going to look more dodgy after the fact to anyone with any common loving sense. Unless they really did sign another year for that large Austin office just to prove Derek Smart wrong about something.

I sometimes feel like I'm the last guy in MD that hasn't started brewing yet. One of the guys in the neighborhood even started his own actual (legal) brewery.

It's really convenient and futuristic, and since there's no toilet paper in there (and it would get wet and gross anyway), you can just stand on your hands and use the shower-head as a bidet after you do your business.
To be fair those are clearly meant to retract into the wall.

no no NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i never gave star citizen money. i got a refund on steam after making a random purchase just to see the difference in response time and with very little effort on my part i got a refund pretty much 3 hours after i put in the request







i'd like to note that cig is stupid to allow anything more than just pre-orders + purchases of jpegs for their "game". they should know that it would complicate refunds/transaction problems/whatever the gently caress else happens with this melting/gifting poo poo.

That reminds me of the time I was in a doctor's office restroom and they had one of those little swinging door things for people to leave urine samples in that rotated around, and there was a big sign taped to the door that said ""PLEASE ROTATE SLOWLY." I couldn't stop laughing. Now I'm imagining space toilets with similar signs warning people to make sure it's flushed before folding up.

Did something happen with their CS dept? After being ignored for weeks I've gotten at least 2 emails a day for the last few days about how I'm "not forgotten and in our queue". I had gotten one before, but I've just been bombarded lately. It's....odd. It's like they're constantly sending reminders about how much they suck at this.

She's probably cold. She's an extremely thin woman in a room full of fatties. If the room was warm enough to be comfortable for thin women, then all the fatties would be sweating.
