That's no game, it's a debt star.

The post you quoted is about consumer rights, it's dry, it's boring and I've posted it a few times. Some probably otherwise bright people see game development companies as football teams. Logic goes out the window entirely and if you mention how company A hosed up one time in a conversation about company B, you get fan idiots of company A mad at you as if you'd besmirched their gaming e-honour.

It's really stupid and, it happens way too often. The particular guy I was talking to is really annoyed about people getting refunds for elite dangerous a full year ago, to such an extent that he was arguing with people on the elite dangerous forums that they weren't entitled to one. Fast forward a year and in October 2015 he's now happy to ask for a refund for Star Citizen for himself but still upset people refunded for elite dangerous. Doesn't make sense to me but then people are odd.

You really can't stop with the BS can you. I mean really how pathetic can you get, if your argument is so week, and you are so butthurt about FD, that you have to resort to this poo poo why are you even posting? You have been crying about refunds for pages now, I mean really, do we need to get the doll were FD touched you, would that help move on? Has no one validated your feelings, said poor boy to you, perhaps you need a hug?

its sad really don't know what a lie is, and you think everyone is protected by the same laws. Two things that I would expect an education system to teach, but there are always the few that fall through, and are unable to learn anything. I am sorry an education system failed you, or you failed it.

Heat and tang? That'd be unusual. Was the heat a chile-based heat, or was it more ginger/horseradish-based burn? The thing that comes to mind is Bulldog sauce, but that has no burn at all, just tang and consistency.

It was a dark brown/black thick almost glaze-like in consistency and could be used for marinade or a direct sauce. It had quite a bit of heat and tang. I've never found its equivalent. Any ideas?

I've searched on amazon and such but it is not any of the generic "steakhouse sauces" which seem to dominate the search results when I look for it. It's definitely not "yum yum sauce".

It sounds like it might be Tonkatsu Sauce, or at least a sauce which is inspired by it. That's brown, thick and tangy and you put it on fried meat things.

Speaking of, I have been getting Chase Sapphire Preferred poo poo in the mail lately, is it really worth switching to a card with annual fees? They never mentioned easy chargebacks in the brochure and I don't travel often enough to make use of the rewards since I just use my credit card for gas.

Couple pages back, but CSP is an excellent card. They have a great rewards program and it's no-nonsense unlike AMEX's garbage program. With chase points == money directly and you can debit the cash directly back to checking or as a statement credit. No buying bullshit gift cards for partial amounts and varying point values. $10 = 1,000 points.

With the annual fee though, in order to break even you need to accrue enough points each month to make the card worth more than other non-fee cards that also have points. If you're putting through at least 2-3k a month on the card then most likely it's worth it. Also their customer service is amazing. Call the number on the back and a person picks right up.

Some context is perhaps in order.

Your second image, is my response to someone that claimed that FD changed their refund policy right before the news that ED would not have an offline mode, in order to deny people a refund. FD had not changed their refund by that point. They did in fact change their policy in response to the backers (but my post was not about that), which despite what you think, does not mean they are lying.

I backed SC back before it hit 10 million, about 2.5 years ago, at that point what CR claimed they were making seemed possible, as time went on well....
Before DS (thanks DS), CIG did not give refunds, so I could not ask for my money back, now that they kind of are, I am.
