This is something SC needs to implement:

A "Citizen Score" based on behavior that results in rewards and penalties - like increased game crashes, lower gravity, fewer solid floors, etc.

That video is terrifying.

Remember 'They said I was dead,the future is not console games, blah blah blah I am a pc game'..... well something is transpiring that Mr Smart probably knows about and the howling of the spergs will be most pleasing to him when it gets announced

I'm trying to think about how to translate the controls to console.

I wonder if by bringing it to console means they're going to get money from them.

I read somewhere that aversion to cilantro/coriander is actually an inherited genetic defect

I call it a defect because coriander is awesome

I have a friend who has it. Everything that has cilantro in it tastes like soap to her.

I'm not asking you to believe anything. I'm saying I don't spend much time in this thread because it turns my stomach.

Then, with your level of access and close personal friendship, I expect you can definitively and beyond doubt prove all these assertions completely false, correct?

I really don't care dude. It just doesn't sound like the person I know.

Look I think we've all had friends who dated, and then split up, and then you had to listen to them talk poo poo about each other. That's the same vibe I feel in here, and it sucks. That's all I'm saying.

This is essentially a tacit acknowledgment that you think they're true, but really don't want them to be.

Can we call this pulling a Dolvac?

This thread would be a lot more fun if you could actually read it.
Think you guys could cut back a little on the food chat, cat posting, "wow this thread has lots of replies", madden football gif generator gifs, and completely random off topic chat?
It would be real cool if I didn't have to skip through 5 pages at a time looking for actual SC related stuff

I agree, the thread desperately needs more dogs.

The compatible pots and pans are why I'm noping the hell away from induction. I want cookware that works everywhere.

Perhaps this weekend will involve rice tutorials. I explained that different kinds of rice require different ratios of water, usually listed on the package. I thought of teaching him Mexican rice, but on second thought, perhaps we should start with something less flammable.

Very nearly. Suffice it to say we now have a solid plan for how to occupy the time Saturday while I wait for the interior of the car to be detailed.

Here is Finnegan sitting on top of a knitting pattern in progress.

Post from the past.

Do you have a lot of expensive copper pots already? Or a ton of anodized aluminum non stick stuff? Induction just means steel/iron, which works everywhere. I just had to trade out my non stick set when I got an induction range. QVC has a lot of great inexpensive stuff in their kitchen essentials line.

Nah, just kidding around. I used be on Paxil for awhile, over 10 years ago, though. I quit cold turkey because I simply do not like taking any meds except if my life depends on it. As I got older, my anxiety disorder is in check. Some days are better than others. It's the mild OCD that's a lot harder to control.

Posting from the past but, I imagine that sucked. I dated a girl who did that. She ended up with hallucinations and auditory glamours from the withdrawal. For a few days after she quit, Satan would routinely come in and sit on the edge of her bed and ask if they could discuss current events.

You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has games. And those games have to be coded by men with hands. Who's gonna do it? You? You, banditloaf? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for CIG and you curse Star Marine. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that CIG's death, while tragic, probably saved the industry. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves jobs...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that blog. You need me on that blog.

We use words like soon, parp, loving-finish...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent fabricating something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very paranoia and hype I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a keyboard and write some code. Either way, I don't give a drat what you think you're entitled to!

I like the tortured logic. Backers don't have the right to see financials because they're not real investors, but they can bring lawsuits like they have real company ownership......somehow?

What kind of charges would they be going to jail for? Have they been siphoning cash under the table? Or have they been not paying the VAT over? Being unethical scummy marketers isn't in and of itself illegal. They could be sued of course if the project sinks but that's just money.

Look at the shell company shuffling stock swaps that happened in the UK.

$599 for twice the performance of a Titan X.
$380 for something more powerful than a Titan X but not as powerful as the 1080.

Even with all that SC will still somehow manage to run like garbage.

CryEngine source code now available on Github

What we need now is for some enterprising nerd to take this and make Star Citizen, by him/herself, in 6 months.

With or without water effects, I'm easy on that one.

Make sure the procedural birds are in though.
