Since this thread is about spaceships in magic space, lets make some Dolmades!!



The recipe is an online one, but its pretty close to what we do in Greece anyway. Didn't have to translate this time..C:

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 c. white rice
1 egg
1/2 c. dry spearmint
1 T. butter, softened
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
dill, if convenient
3-4 T. lemon juice
salt
pepper
water, if needed

Augolemono (sauce)
1 egg
3-4 T. lemon juice
corn starch

Directions
Knead all ingredients in a bowl. If the consistency is too hard, add water, one tablespoon at a time (up to 4 T.).
Depending on the size, you will need 20 to 40 grape leaves (Fila -pronounced fee’-lah). Small leaves tend to be more tender. Boil grape leaves until they are soft, but not tender.
The time will depend on the leaves. Fresh ones will only take a minute.
Fold grape leaves around small spoonfulls of meat mixture, sealing completely.
In a large pot (preferably one with a large surface area on the bottom), melt 1/2 stick (4 T.) butter.
Arrange rolled dolmades on top. Do this all at once, not as you roll them.
Pour 3-4 cups water or chicken broth over dolmades, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.

Augolemono Directions
Separate egg.
Whisk egg white mixed with 1 tsp. water; add yolk and mix.
Add a little corn starch to lemon juice and stir; add to egg mixture.
Skim broth off dolmades (it is now a chicken/beef broth and should be greatly reduced because of the rice) and add 1 T. at a time to the egg mixture, whisking well. Egg mixture should thicken.

Final Steps
Remove dolmades from heat.
Arrange dolmades in a bowl for serving. Mix remaining broth into egg-lemon mixture. Stir well and pour over dolmades.

Dolmades are really good and now I want to go eat some greek food.

Chris Roberts got almost 90 million dollars in backer money and all I got was some lousy $3,000 concept art.

Anyone willing to share specifics with regards to why they've become disillusioned with the game? I thought the general consensus among backers was positive. I was actually planning to jump in myself now that I have seen the game start to take form.

So I just played a game of Angels Fall First. I was helming a Battleship, that had like 30 other players in it who were running around it fixing battle damage, or manning turrets, or flying out of it in Interceptors.

Anyway it was the middle of a giant gently caress off battle, I had no idea what I was doing, explosions and klaxons were going off everywhere. I rammed another battleship and we won.

So it's good then? I'll pick it up when I get home since it's so cheap.

time for lesnik to demand a bunch of money or else he leaves. That would gently caress cig up if he left and he should be able to squeeze a cool million out of them.

How are they still going to have a con after this? Every single movement will be asking about question Smart/Escapist have brought up.

They can probably get one last good take from the con so there's no real reason not to.

I don't think it's a scam, however at this point I don't think it's a developing game either.

There is a strong case to be made about CIG overspending, maybe to the point $80+ million.

It's a badly run project but I think it's pretty obvious almighty Chris Roberts thinks that he will eventually make the best space game ever made if he can keep the money flowing.

I really enjoy that there are people who are just releasing solid, or at least complete space games quietly while the battle of endor sized drama explosions are going on.

Angel's Fall First is fun. Though it's not complete it's 13.49 and will get 13.49 worth of enjoyment as is.

I find it's hilarious that people think 'realism' is of the utmost importance in a game about dogfighting in space, an idea that pretty much began with Star Wars as WWII in space. Yeah, realistic.

Any kind of proposed "realistic" space fight game would be intensely boring but spergs will be spergs. Want realistic physics and ladder animations for WW2 dogfight in space.

And so on and so on.

Not to be rude, but why the gently caress did you people pay so much for the promise of a virtual spaceship one day in the far future?!
You could buy a drivable toy spaceship for less, in real life! or a hundred good and actually existing games!

I can't wrap my mind around it, I honestly can't.

A goon and his money are soon (and easily) parted. A lot of us are in the perfect target demographic and have more disposable income than sense.

Wow. Whenever someone says, "You do NOT want to mess with ME. I will gently caress you up!" It immediately makes everyone want to mess with them. :laffo: What a child.

What an incredible mess from every single direction. I look forward to a great week.

It's Derek Smart. Engaging him at all was the dumbest possible thing CIG and Croberts could have done.

When you say "corporal punishment" what did that entail?

I'd assume using violence on small beings with limited cognitive ability in order to instill fear and obedience.

The fact that they renamed the dumb ship (and hosed it up so it was named POTATO briefly on the website) and then changed the price by 5$ to PROVE DSMART WRONG is far more entertaining than it should be. I would ask what it is named in the game assets except there is no game :lol:

I did a check on the page to see an artifact left over from "Vindicator" but didn't see anything. Someone with more webpage knowledge should probably see if anything was forgotten.

They probably did a find and replace to switch Vindicator to POTATO and then missed those entries after they came up with Sabre
