Cilantro is baller, and if you haven't discovered it yet you're in for a treat. I like to keep a fresh bundle and just tear off little bits to add to almost everything I eat. It's basically the flavor I associate with freshness, goes great on drat near any sandwich and especially with any cheese.

Also known as coriander or Chinese parsley if you have trouble finding it.

Best part about living in california is we don't have actual cuisine of our own. It's just your cuisine with fresher ingredients that we bought at half of what you pay for your old poo poo because we're where half the produce comes from.

My pizza is better than yours :colbert:

I also actually worked at a family pizzeria for 6 years, so that's slightly more than an idle boast. The biggest problem with california pizza is they don't let the dough sit for long enough so it's full of yeast flavor because the mantra is "fresher is always better". Then there's the guy down in LA who makes his dough almost a week before he uses it so it's loving amazing.

The best thing about california cuisine is it's yours but fresher. The worst thing about it is hipsters who make avocado grape hazelnut chocolate pizza "because I can."

So I'm starting to think a lawsuit from Illfonic is not out of the picture in the near future. Broussard and Smart are both hinting at something big coming Soon, and that would certainly fit the bill. Everyone at CIG gets super cagey at any mention of Illfonic, who knows what kind of weirdness lead to the fall out. It's not that hard to imagine that all the toxic behavior that permeates CIG would spill into Illfonic as well...except Illfonic would have the means to do something about it.

Unlikely, it just looks like a pretty standard piece of contract work so things should be pretty watertight and leave little room for interpretation. CIG are cagey about it because it's a costly and avoidable gently caress up. In the case of CIG wrong doing I don't see what Illfonic would lose by waiting to start legal action. The quicker they act the quicker they get the money and the less people they have to layoff due to cashflow issues. For a small company laying people off only to have to take different people on a short while later is bad.

Anybody know how such contracts typically work? Is it possible that because CIG did not run the project through all the planned stages Illfonic retain ownership of all the work they did? So CIG spent a load of cash for literally nothing. That would at least be the most hilarious outcome.

The weirdest pizza that still works I've ever seen was actually from switzerland, though. It was chicken, ham, curry powder, peanut, and banana.

I've also seen a chocolate raspberry mint pizza, and that was pretty good.

Illfonic wasn't a huge studio with a ton of success stories under its belt. TBH they may have taken a suboptimal contract from CIG in order to keep the ball rolling.

It's not a name that I associate with a lot of titles. Which is a shame as what they were putting out actually looked pretty drat good when you consider what they were working with.

There's No Limit To What We Can't Accomplish



Greetings from page 1632. I am posting to say that SyFy's The Expanse has featured the following: EVA Spaceship repairs, spaceship boarding (and defending the boarded ship), long space travel (takes over 3 days for one big ship to get from Earth to somewhere else?), Spaceship Combat, Space Airliners (no drinks were served), Space Mining (a kid drilled a hole in a rock, put some explosives in it, and they kinda exploded it), Griefing from Police Force, Space Trucking, Rescuing a spaceship that set off their distress beacon, Camoflaging a spaceship with junk welded over military logos and a modded transponder. It's even got a plucky spaceship crewed by pretty people that are just trying to make it without dying in space.

It did all this without handwaving gravity (characters have mag boots) AND with pretty decent ship design. basically it's Star Citizen the way backers imagine it will be without all the terrible art direction and ridiculously immersive forced animations. 8 episodes in and I have to say its Good but not Great.

Because I don't know about business, does this just mean that CIG gets to deduct that amount when filing their taxes because they've spent that much to expand their UK operations because it means they're helping the UK economy by adding more jobs, renting office space, etc. and that all this has happened over the last year or two so it's not like it's a big infusion of cash to the UK studio all of a sudden?

Yeah, that's what tax credits are. If for example you are due to pay $50K in taxes, and you have a $5K tax credit, you only pay $45K. It's more complex than that, but that's the gist of it.

And according to the data we had, the total tax credits was around $6M. Which means that since F42 was opened in Dec 2013, if the UKTI is saying they've invested approximately £15 million ($21M) to date, that means they've probably burned through that amount. Note also that back in Dec when the filed their financials, they were in debt, had very little cash on hand etc.

They're fast running out of money.
