Now this one, this is your best cook for your money. It's got sprinkles.



If you aren't a space plebe you're gonna want to have this next cookie. (Only 5,000 available)

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

I fired a shotgun once. It was one of the two bullet thingys. I was shooting at a clay pidgeon. I managed to shoot a tree right in the branch.

That's my gun story.

(I used to trap a clay pidgeon shoot in my mid teens for pocket money, and we'd occasionally be offered to shoot a rifle. I tried once, wasn't for me.)

My view on it is that a lot of the blue balling is intentional as this is the Star Citizen thread, CIG spent a good two years promising "2 weeks" and everyone should learn to be more sceptical of promises. Apart from that I think sometimes Derek just changes his mind, sometimes the situation changes, sometimes he gets distracted by something shiny and goes off on one.

Ultimately though what this comes down to is proof, "prove what you said is true" and nothing else will do. I think the clues are in the thread about things that have happened, Star Marine, the change on refunds being the most visible, but you've never going to get "proof" to satisfy you on things that haven't happened in public view, not until someone internal to CIG goes public and why would anyone ruin their career doing that? To me it would make more sense for employees to just get a job somewhere else, or wait until CIG goes bust.

Also at this point if you really need proof that CIG haven't a clue what they are doing I dunno what to tell you, as far as I'm aware the game patcher is still broke, the tutorial is still broken and they haven't patched anything since, what June?. I can understand why people get blue balled waiting for CIG to go bust but look at what's happening.

Total in November 2012: $4,367,877
Total in November 2013: $7,871,634
Total in November 2014: $6,101,678
Total in November 2015: $5,358,817
Total in November 2016(so far): $7,521,926

In 2016 with nothing of any level of competence released, they are going to match or exceed their income from the crazy days of the "end of LTI" sale in 2013. When any of us are judging what's going to happen you are dealing with a company that acts irrationally heavily supported with income from backers who are also acting irrationally.

Nothing I've just said is going to change your mind but afterwards, then I think it's going to be a lot more obvious to all why things happened as they did.

Are you thinking that because I call Derek out for being completely full of poo poo about having any "100% guaranteed to get legal action" info that I somehow think CIG isn't broke and incompetent?

1: They can name a version anything they want. Tomorrow they could call it 3.0. There! You got 3.0!

2: You can't. They showed you a cinematic of this. Nobody is doing this in the game.

3: First it was already in the game. Then it was canceled. Now it's in the game again. Uh, sure, maybe you and Chris need to sit down and figure out how this is going to go next time. Plus, it's a loving arena shooter module in an engine designed from ground up to be a loving arena shooter. CryEngine came with Star Marine in it from the start. CIG just broke it.

4: You're 5 years in, and 130 loving MILLION DOLLARS later, and you have <1% of a game. At what point do you think "Hmmm... something seems amiss with this!" Because that's what we're all really waiting for. Is for you guys to come to the explosive realization you're getting screwed for Porsche payments, exotic vacations, and maybe a CGI movie.

Takaroshe is pretty great because he uses Edwin from Baldur's Gate as a twitter avatar and it really fits his posting style. I'm just sad he doesn't do little off to the side comments in brackets.

But he's still great as a laughing stock character in this whole Star Citizen thing. Looking forward to the character arc where he's transformed into a woman and because CIG hasn't implemented a model yet he haunts everyone as a ghost instead.

I started on the Internet back in 1992, Compuserve, or whatever. Did my first real on-line gaming in maybe 1996. That sort of poo poo was par for the course, but having someone lurk on you and post stuff like that would've been very concerning even way back then.

This one is showing off our "electro frosting". A cookie that can change frosting colors as the situation dictates.



This bad boy is our larger model cookie. Notice how it's elongated to fit into your glass of milk with ease (milk will be sold separately)



For those of you with actual friends, you'll want this cookie for sure. It has a detachable, smaller cookie, that you can give to others.



Now I wouldn't be much of a cookie salesman if I didn't offer the "premium" version. So here she is. You'll have so many friends if you buy this one. So many friends.

As to the name, gently caress if I know. Ask Derek Smart.

SPACE CAT SPACE COOKIES

Sadly, fidelity suffered due to the pixels I used. Turns out the resulting dough was nigh on unsculptable.

Cookies were broken up for the video because I didn't want my housemate's cats to choke.

Cookies represented as many things as I could roughly form with the unwilling dough:

Ben Lesnick
Procedural bird
Procedural planet
T-pose commando
Star
Towel
Vending machine
Dollar sign
Doughnut
Gun
Spaceship
Baseball cap

Please note: in the video Test Subject Piglett totally ignores the Vending Machine cookie, thus proving even drugs don't make vending machines fun.

Recipe was kinda eyeballed, but it was roughly:

Tin of tuna in water, pureed
one egg
flour
about a tablespoon of catnip

Mush together till doughy

Make shapes

Cook at about 180c for 15 mins and let cool.

If the video doesn't work in your country due to copyright whatever, I'm sorry.

Phenomenal! :)
