IfWhen SC and CIG eventually dies and whatever legal action that may follow runs it's course, do you believe that crowdfunding as a whole will die with it? I know other crowdfunded projects have been successful and delivered what was asked of them, but ~$100 million is still a shitload of money. I don't see kickstarting games coming out of this unscathed.

Crowdfunding crazy dreams from failed has-beens for $100M? Already dead I think. There hasn't been anything quite like SC.

Crowdfunding at a sane budget, for games in general? Seems quite healthy.

So far I have backed, received, and played:

FTL
Shadowrun (twice)
Pillars of Eternity
Elite Dangerous (a space game!)
Wasteland 2
Banner Saga
Divinity: Original Sin
Sunless Sea

Some were better than others, some were amazing, all were at least pretty good. And Elite just keeps getting better.


Have also backed and am still waiting on:

Torment: Tides of Numenara
Kingdom come: Delieverance
Pathologic (Remake)

all of which still look promising, and likely to happen.

to be fair, E:D is barely a game. I mean, better than what's going on here, but it's basically a similar pile of mismanaged bullshit from a dude who got famous decades ago and wanted to make a new game. I mean, there's just actually a game in E:D

Oh please.

There's 50+ hours of single-player game in Elite at a bare minimum.

Learning to fly starter ship is a day or so, and it'll be a week+ of hardcore play to a half way decent mid-range ship, and all that time is stupid fun.

Afterwards...yeah, you may burn out, and :frontear: exists for a reason, but there is no way you can say E:D is not worth the price of a full game.

TBH, I wish discussion would go back in these waters. Any legit discussion of Star Shitizen or its cultists and cult leaders is just plain depressing.

It's kinda odd how I can eat white meat only with mayo and red meat only with mustard.

Agree with depressing lack of culinary advice of late.

So, 'red' meat.

You basically mean beef. Specifically salted brisket, or a rare-roasted joint. That is more or less what mustard is for. Also, horseradish.

Lamb is a red meat too, but don't put mustard on that - it needs mint sauce if it's decent lamb, .


White meat: Chicken or turkey breast (the leggier parts of bird-meat tend to favour something more acidic).

Could use some extra fat, and the textures go well together, so mayo works, but only when cold.


Pork is a kind of a middle ground - I wouldn't mustard or mayo that, not when you have apple sauce as an option. But 'pork', as in pig-flesh, is such a huge subject that even the epic SC thread cannot do it justice.

There are less obvious meats too, like duck (orange/plum), venison (juniper/redcurrant), goat(all sorts of stuff, mostly chilli-based)...and this is just British cooking.

Basically there are many tasty animals, and many more things that go well with various parts of them, and you should try them all.

Open to dietary suggestions by goons as to what sorts of foods might be better, to make me gain more muscle and less fat. (I'm skinny tho)

You can't gain *only* muscle (unless you do steroids) - if you eat enough then your traitorous body will always put some away as fat, even if you exercise like a lunatic and do horrible things with too much protein.

You can improve the muscles you already have. That may increase weight - muscles are denser than fat.

If you really want to look like the freaks on magazine covers, then the only option is to bulk & cut (i.e. starve & dehydate). Don't do that.
