AugmentedVision posted:All hard liquor tastes like poo poo and people deceive themselves into enjoying the taste in order to seem sophisticated. "Acquired taste", I'm pretty sure if you ate enough literal dog poo poo, you would acquire a taste for it, doesn't mean it's cool and good to do so. This statement is obviously wrong. I dont drink often, most of my friends are pretty extreme mormons so i dont go out drinking with people. I like the taste of most tequilas, whiskeys, and light rums and find them genuinely enjoyable. The only part im not fond of is the burn with the less smooth ones. Based on your statement, im going to assume you drink beer. Probably awful beer to boot. Good day, sir.

Pretty cool guy he was always taking a nap in the back room he was. ! I had a boss like that, which in retrospect was better than what I have now. NEVER take it for granted if you have a boss who's not around.

fuzzknot posted:Bootcha and I talked/argued a lot about that before he found out much of what he's disclosed in this thread. His thinking was that surely some employee would have come forward by now if there were anything that foul really going on. I've had several years of experience in retail and theatre, both industries where complaining gets you nowhere but for different reasons, and I pointed out that there are many reasons employees might not come forward, not the least of which is a lack of legal protection. I once sued an employer for violating the FLSA and the audacity they had was to try and buy me off for 60k. I gave them the finger took them to court and won. I made a lousy 800 dollars but it cost the company 3 million (paying me plus 1000 employees 800 bucks plus my legal fees and I had one hell of an expensive legal team) The point is most companies will poo poo on you unless you push back AND you have a really good legal team. I wish Derek would offer legal protection to CIG employees but I assume there is some sort of NDA or something that is keeping him from doing that.

Most hard liquor are not supposed to be taken in straight and if you do so, you are supposed to take them in slowly with little sips. Its neither supposed to burn your mouth or really hurt your throat. I agree some people go overboard on snobbery while drinking 150 year old cognac but anyone with a functioning palate and a nose can spot the difference between Popov and Grey Goose.

I like the Camarena reposado in margaritas, which is totally not how it's supposed to be drunk, but gently caress it. I only like margaritas on scorchingly hot summer afternoons. Also, hockey is the only sport I like. I'm not doing soccer without a fuckton of booze first. Bootcha keeps trying to get me to watch soccer with his friends, but since that only happens on Sunday mornings, which is sleep in/mimosa time, the hell with it.

My favorite part was when we tried mediation up in Garland and their million dollar legal team tried to play off like they were destitute. My lawyers literally said this to the mediator "well if they are so hard up why don't they just give us the assets and the business and we will give them a percentage of the profit." Apparently they didn't like that idea.

What pisses me off the most about this elitist diatribe is that this is a very old way of thinking. Both PC and console gaming have come a long way, and there are plenty of benefits to be had in both. I prefer PC by far, but still can't really understand the position he's arguing from here. The "PC vs Console" wars are referred to more ironically than anything else these days. He really thinks he's this champion come to save us all - to me he's more like a guy who was in stasis for 15 years and now that he's been woken up, he refuses to admit that time has marched on without him - clinging to his own glory days and insisting we all do it with him. His carbonite hibernation sickness extends to every part of this travesty. The innovative "contextual use" key, crawling through vents, putting down a hologram of yourself, "stealthy stuff", unskippable immersion-breaking animations, motion-capture cutscenes, loving everything this tool is putting in his game has already been done by others, and far better. The ideas that worked stuck around, the ones that didn't faded away. Chris thinks he's inventing it all; it's all new and it's all awesome. It's only a matter of time before he discovers quicktime events.

I've heard people waxing poetic about it before, but never actually seen it happen in a real video game. I guess it's technically possible with some titles like War Thunder and... PS2? I've not played PS2 much in the last year or two. I do remember playstation * icons being fairly common in War Thunder. If that's what you/he meant regarding communication. Being said it sounds like he's talking about Star Citizen. While I'm willing to look at the idea of S42 being a console port with an air of humor the idea of SC being a console port (in a magical universe where everything works out) anytime int he next decade sounds pretty ludicrous. So I don't think cross platform communication is really going to be a thing. That's probably a holdover from the fictional days when co-op dropin was still on the table.
