THE WULGE does realize that the government knows how to get around FOIA requests, right? Like, data about privately-held companies is typically unavailable for FOIA requests because in order to get that data, one of two things happen: 1) In providing the data, the government guarantees to make it unavailable for FOIA requests because this would be a really easy way to get a competitor's financials. 2) The company ignores it, is charged some minor fee that most write off as the cost of doing business, and the world keeps spinning. I used to intern at Commerce, so I'm somewhat familiar with guarantees like #1. This is not even touching the fact that I'm willing to bet the company is headquartered in a country with extremely lax corporate reporting laws, which would therefore make the data non-existent. EDIT: Blerp. I guess it's in relation to the lawsuit? But why the hell would any government agency make available data related to an ongoing investigation?

2DCAT posted:ummm... if a company is under an ongoing investigation, the government will not give you said information under the FOIA. Which is pretty much my point exactly. The WULGE is pointing to his letter like a "he he he Mr. Smart is Mr. Wrong" sort of moment, but like I said - FOIA exemptions are easy to come by in government, and it's no surprise that his request turned up nothing on an investigation because that's the way it's supposed to work.

At the time, Bungie was pretty much the premier developer for Mac games. I had the Marathon collection waaaaaay back in the day and the sheer number of mods, levels, and editors that were released for it was staggering. They were pretty difficult games at the time though, at least for a kid.

Spaced God posted:Yo for real though, can we just take a second to acknowledge that the best genre of sandwiches are fat sandwiches and anyone who denies that is loving incorrect? That looks like it wants to be a Primanti's sandwich, but is too chicken to just skip the lettuce and go straight to cole slaw.  Bonus: You don't have to go to North Jersey to get this sandwich. You get to go to Pittsburgh, which is way nicer.

I'd probably try it, but I wish someone would do something with slaw that isn't "slather it in mayo or salad dressing and call it a day" Yeah, I feel that. A lot of places are pretty lazy with their slaw just like that (and I say this having made slaw just that way when I worked at a restaurant back in high school).

This person knows what good tea is. Lapsang Souchong is incredible stuff. I miss having some close at hand. Also, some people mentioned HP Sauce. This stuff is also delicious. I've never had any trouble finding it where I am (DC), but that's because I suspect it's not terribly hard to find international things in your basic grocery store in DC.

Condiments that you should try if you haven't already: Ketchup - Only Heinz will do. Get the stuff with actual sugar instead of corn syrup, as I think sugar has a cleaner finish than HFCS. HP Sauce - Is the boss. Way better on fries than ketchup, but not as good as... Kewpie Mayonnaise - Despite looking like it's packaged for Seraph's tastes, this is way better than anything you can normally buy in 'Murica. Chipotle-based Hot Sauces - Hot Sauce? Good. Smoky flavor? Good. Both together? loving awesome. Okonomi Sauce - A traditional pairing with Kewpie on okonomiyaki, it's sweet and has a distinct enough tang to it that I put it on my eggs instead of ketchup for some variety. Tonkatsu sauce will also work quite nicely. Spicy Mustard - Don't use the yellow stuff. Honey Mustard - For when you have to use the yellow stuff.

Strategic Tea posted:Ahahah the bridge can rotate... because... Why not? It's not supposed to be in the game anyway. There's no need to actually model the rotation anyways. It's supposed to milk fat white whale nerd wallets like only the most depraved and twisted hentai could ever portray. As predicted, they didn't actually release any content and instead put up a new jpeg. Derek probably didn't predict the names this time because if Croberts and Co. are on a mole hunt, then it's highly likely that they gave some of the staff the real names and gave the ones they suspect the fake names. If Derek names them true, then desks are flipped in anger as they're not much closer to ID'ing the mole. If Derek names them false, then he's at risk of losing his insider knowledge.

Tank Boy Ken posted:SC is like Tripwires decision to animate "switch position in a tank" for RO2. Just for all things. Focusing on minute (unimportant details) and forgetting the big picture. Which is kinda ironic, because space movie. Big difference. RO2 actually released with the tank switching animations. They also have the best scoping model on the market that is actually in a feature-complete game rather than a buggy, laggy, non-existent mess. They also limited their scope in only providing one vehicle model for each side due to the intricacies and detail of the in-tank switching. Remember that Star Citizen is trying to do position switching/modeling interiors for every ship model. This is more than pointless. It's a Herculean task that no dev team with the largest amount of funding for a game in history would ever be able to pull off. Especially since their funding mechanic is 'release a ship jpeg that will cost more to implement than we could ever raise, even at these whale-hunting prices'.

Honestly, this project is suffering from scope creep like you wouldn't believe. Spend any time working in the DC area and you'll very quickly become acquainted with bad management practices that lead to scope creep and not delivering a product. Croberts and Co. hit all the high notes with bad management, too. Pretty soon someone is going to have to invoke the Iron Law of Defense Spending and even that's being generous to Croberts and Co. Iron Law of Defense Spending: Whatever system you requisitioned will cost twice as much, take twice as long to deliver, and have half of the promised capabilities.
