tbh i really enjoyed being a liberator gunner in planetside 2, and so did a lot of people. So its definately possible to make turret gunning fun, its just that crobnerts cant because hes incompetent

lib gunning in PS2 worked because it was OP and the gun required a human to operate. The second is a deal breaker for shitizens as it might require them to interact with people in a multiplayer game

Releasing a "finished" product restricts further game development because you have to keep in mind to not break the game for the players and to support the product. It is not a good thing! It is a modern fad.

I've tried both and they imo depend on who is making it. A chain? Greasy as hell

There is a place that only uses locally bought ingredients around here and the barbacoa pizza is amazing

One of the gifts my mom got me for Christmas was a homemade cookbook that was the scanned pages from my great-grandmothers cook book, most of which were her writing things down on whatever paper she had available. We had her prime rib for Christmas Eve dinner and it was spectacular. I'm going to type her recipes up, so i'll post them in the thread as a I go through them.

I feel like giving back to the thread that has given me so much entertainment, so here's my Grandmother's Banana Pudding recipe:

34-45 Vanilla Wafers
5-6 Medium Bananas
3/4 cup sugar, divided,
1/3 cup flour
Dash of salt
4 eggs, separated, at room temperature
2 cup milk
1 1/2 quart casserole dish or similar.

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt on top of a double boiler. Stir in 4 egg yolks and milk; blend well. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, creating the custard.
Spread small amount on bottom of casserole dish; cover with a layer of wafers. Top with layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3rd custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas, and custard to make 3 layers of each, ending with custard.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spoon on top of pudding, spreading over entire surface and sealing well to edge.

Bake at 350 degrees(F) for 10-12 minutes or until meringue is browned. Cool slightly or chill.

Yes post the prime rib recipe. I'm cooking it for the first time soon.

It's the first one I typed up. It's simple but it turned out really good:

Grandma’s Prime Rib
1 Rib Roast or small end (6 to 8 lbs., 3 to 4 ribs)
8 Garlic Cloves
Rub (My mom couldn’t find the rub recipe, so she used a steak rub of black pepper, salt, paprika, coriander, dill and red pepper flakes)

Directions
The night before, prepare the roast by cutting marks in the fat and inserting the cloves of garlic into the fat. Push the cloves completely under the fat or it will come out when the fat shrinks during cooking.
Half an hour before cooking, apply the rub. Place the roast in a large baking dish with the fat side up.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Cook roast for 1 hour at 400 degrees. After one hour, turn the oven off for one hour, but do not open. If the roast is larger (5 ribs or more) increase the cooking time to one hour and 15 minutes
Then turn the oven back on to 325 degrees, and cook for an additional amount of time for each pound of the roast:
For rare: 4 minutes per pound
For medium rare: 5 minutes per pound
For medium: 6 minutes per pound
For medium-well: 7 minutes per pound
For well: 8 minutes per pound

Allow to sit for 15 minutes, but not in the oven as it will keep cooking it

Wait. That explains EVERYTHING.

Sandi is a Cenobite. Sort of an anti-muse. She condemns men, first by forcing them to shave their groins then she gives them impossible dreams and seals their doom by using such dreams to lead them to crime and atrocities.

No, III was. You mean II, IV, and Privateer.

III was also the shittiest Wing Commander. It had fancy new tech, but it's story sucked and it did some dumb things. The worst, in fact, was specific to Hobbes. Wing Commander II's writers took a long time building Hobbes up into a complex and interesting character.

Chris Roberts hated that.

Thus the reason Hobbes goes "Haha, surprise traitor! gently caress all Kilrathi!" and screws you over mid-game; Roberts wanted to retcon and write out everything that happened in WC2.

He had very little to do with WC4 and nothing to do with Prophecy (which was both a fun game and terrible Wing Commander).

ED: Also Erin Roberts is pretty much a hack. Chris Roberts has a lot of good ideas, but Erin does not, and he tends to hurt anything he gets his hands on. Privateer 2 was his abomination. Most disappointing pre-order I've ever made.*

* The FMV wasn't bad for a surrealist sci-fi show on the BBC. Too bad that's not Privateer.

Okay so I've never played any Wing Commander but this sounds funny. Who is Hobbes and how did CR gently caress him up?
