Okay so let's say some of these people get their wish and piracy works the way they want i.e. 'honourable' pirates who generally don't kill you. You get captured. Here's your options. 1. You are instantly 'ransomed' and immediately appear in a nearby space station. Ruins immersion. Unacceptable. 2. You are captured and have to stay on the pirate ship until they deliver you somewhere to ransom you. Enjoy not doing anything in this game you dropped $30k on for an undefined amount of hours until they get around to dropping you off, I guess. 3. You are captured. Goons leave you in the cell forever and leave the ship you're in in low/decaying orbit. The only rational approach to being beaten but not killed by a pirate becomes immediate suicide, lest you are stuck in a jail cell indefinitely. All you've done is remove the need for the pirates to waste the bullet. See you in the 'verse.

I think they mentioned at some point converting the real person into an npc once captured, respawning them in uee space while allowing the pirates to continue on with their mission with a body. Who knows though, they've said pretty much everything at this point. Actually I seem to remember them saying both the captured person could have npc pirates and could escape and the pirates could have a captured person, the instances break off into two separate things. lol. Which given performance currently makes complete sense of course! Multiple universes for every possible decision!

Eonwe posted:It's like you make chili and it doesn't have beans fuzzknot posted:Haha; yes--I taught him to make chili and insisted on using beans because otherwise it's . . . not chili. some pretty bad chili opinions on this page what makes chili is the spices, and specifically the chili pepper. you could have a pure vegetable chili if you wanted, but that would be pretty bad because the hearty blend of capascin and cerotine doesn't work well with most vegetables. legumes of all kinds are sort of an exception because they are sort of spongy without being runny, so they soak up the lovely buzz of the chili without becoming a terrible mess the way it would be if you put a lot of flour or something in it. or, you know, alternately you could stop pretending and put beef, chicken, and pork in there, which is the original marinating medium, and just have a good experience backward to forward. i mean you can go with beans or whatever if you want, nobody's judging you, but you're just gonna have a better time if you just go full on with stuff that marinades properly. you don't marinade beans for a reason! anyway my personal chili tip is to put a beer of your choice into the crock pot as you're cooking it. darker beers like porters and stouts work better, but if you're a huge fan of lagers i've had a couple of those also work okay. paprika and cloves are also good complementary spices.

Uhhhhh EXCUSE ME, have we forgotten that this is star citizen we're talking about? a game where anything is possible? OBVIOUSLY because you can do anything you want that means you can just make yourself a device that makes sitting still for 3 hours incredibly fun and exciting, I mean come on have you not learned anything by now? yeeesh

Coolguye posted:some pretty bad chili opinions on this page The chili recipe I helped him create is somewhere in this thread, but since I can't be arsed to find it, here it is again: 2-3 rashers diced bacon 1.25 lbs ground chuck 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 can red kidney beans, undrained 1 can tomato sauce 1 can diced tomato 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2-3 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne dash paprika dash cumin dash Cholula sauce dash oregano salt and pepper to taste optional toppings: shredded red cabbage, finely chopped onion, grated cheddar, finely chopped jalapeno 1. Cook bacon. When bacon is about halfway cooked, add chuck, onion, and garlic. Cook till meat is just brown and add bell pepper, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and kidney beans. Add spices. 2. Bring to boil, reduce, and simmer till vegetables are done and chili reaches desired consistency. edit: Yeah, half a bottle or so of light beer works very well too when added with the tomatoes and whatnot; you just have to remember to either reduce the other liquids a bit or let it simmer longer. fuzzknot fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Dec 24, 2015 |

I know at the end of it all I am just really a dude on the net but you can trust me on this, I have been hearing more and it's just the most stunning thing I've heard in years. I already knew about him having a big hand in sending these assholes down, and I know the full story there. I need to chat with him and get his OK on a few things but the TLDR is: My mate just gave £3.8 million of some crime rings money away to charity live on Periscope while two of them were watching lmao

That's the bit I need to find out, I know it's legal as his solicitors were all informed etc, I don't know the exact way he could have done it, but it's to do with a pool of money more than one person could get to, I'll find out later on hopefully. The whole getting killed thing is another story, and the bit I am worried about, his take on that is (from his text to me just now) 'gently caress em'

I, too have some doubts about the legality of this thing, since I saw the exact same thing happening in a kung-fu movie once. On the other hand, our local laws include dumb bullshit like subpoenas counting as served personally as soon as they reach your mail box (What you're lying incapacitated in a hospital, are on holiday outside the country or dead? The state says gently caress YOU.) so what the hell, it could be possible. Stupid laws are a universal constant of human civilization. BMan posted:Looking for boxed games at the store?

The last time I bought a game in a store, I also literally only got the box. Inside the box was a redeemable Steam-code. Progress!

I told Bootcha the cooking lessons were going well when he learned how to develop a decent chili and season it according to what he thought it needed.Also, Wendy's?  I worked there when I was in school, and that chili is horrifying. Do NOT eat it.
