Beet Wagon posted:I got a sous vide thing for Christmas and tried it out on some steaks the other day but I got sidetracked by oven roasted green beans and we ate them all before I remembered to pull the steaks out and put a sear on them lol One of our favorite things to do with our Anova is cook a London broil for like 12 hours at 131F, give it a quick sear, cook some peppers and onions, warm up some tortillas, and boom, steak fajitas with less than 10 minutes of actual work. Just vacuum seal the meat the night before and throw it in the water bath before you leave for work. The leftover meat is also fantastic next day for an easy steak salad with some greens, corn, black beans and peppers. Little chili lime dressing and you're set.

While I do like that theory, isn't updating the charges to allege that the infringements were intentional a fairly big deal?

Supposedly you can't have a lawyer represent you in NJ small claims court, so it's Chris or a default judgment. He could bring Ortwin as a witness though!

Streetroller posted:Would you guys appreciate a more thought out video presenting my entire case. The who, what, where, when?... Don't bother giving the assholes more ammo and don't give away your case. You've done the research and you are confident in what you are doing, just let the justice system go with it. Once the case has been heard by the court one way or another and is over, a video outlining your case, your experience with these personal attacks and anything you learned would be really cool. Until then, focus your energy on more productive ventures.

So they're going to start work on one of the original 5 ships sometime in the later half of the year, and there is a distinct chance it won't be done until sometime in 2019. I'd ask if backers were upset by this news but I already know the answer.

Flared Basic Bitch posted:Funny you should mention. Just the other day I got much too high, and the next day I discovered that some fiend had hacked into my Steam account and purchased American Truck Simulator. Perhaps it was even YOU that did the deed, AbsoluteLlama! The Truck Sims are weirdly super relaxing. Most of my ETS2 time was when I was at a job with a super toxic workplace environment; I'd go trucking on Sunday evening to relax and destress before the new work week. They're worth having around just for that reason, and like you noted, they work and are inexpensive. Definitely a four parper.

Last night I unlocked Archwing missions in Warframe. It's basically a jetpack you strap your robot ninja into, complete with a chaingun and sword, and you rocket around space at high speed shooting and chopping up drones and ships. It's also significantly faster and more interesting than anything Star Citizen has ever produced. Pretty sad when you think that a mission type that was patched into a F2P action game is better than anything SC is ever going to produce.

trucutru posted:Which reminds me the new monster hunter game should be out by now. It is quite fun! You get to create a cat buddy with realistic enough meows to cause actual confusion and concern in real cats, then hunt monsters. Like the title implies. It's very entertaining and silly in a good way, unlike Star Citizen, which has rolled over from entertaining and silly to horribly sad and embarrassing.

Boy, I can't wait for another exciting Leonard French video where he takes Ortwin's arguments at face value and reassures the backers that this will be dismissed. Instead of the more likely scenario, where it will be pushed forward by a judge with reason to be irritated with the actions of the defendant and their council. That's always a good way to start things!

When you think about it, they just solved the B'tak problem. Problem: Other players might do things to interfere with my safe space bubble without my permission! Previous solution: Create a PvP slider and somehow solve for alllll the different ways in which different slider values have to interact. New solution: If someone wants your ship, let them take it, give them 2 minutes to fly off into space somewhere, then quickly log out and back in. They're stuck in some rear end end of space without a ride, you get to respawn your ship and go about your day! They're solving the big design questions here, folks. Edit: OK, I see they mean that it's when the thief logs out. Still, the original owner isn't going to actually lose anything of value from the theft, so yeah, effectively they're bubble wrapping those pesky sharp edges of player interaction.

Mr Fronts posted:Oh, snap... Maybe if you're going to be answering questions for a hyper obsessed fanbase that literally has had nothing of consequence to do but theorycraft and slave over game design/features for 5 years, you should have actual knowledge of the subject instead of telling them "if that was a thing". (I know the irony here of us knowing this poo poo, but we aren't in the position to have our very faith rocked by devs alluding to the fact that all that's behind the curtain is smoke and mirrors.)

no_recall posted:Looking at the filing from an unbiased and neutral standpoint, does CIG's response hold a candle; if at all? It doesn't seem to conclusively answer all of Crytek's arguments and claims, so it is hard to see how CIG's motion to dismiss is granted. In that sense, it doesn't. Then you get into more subjective matters of tone and clarity, and that's much more subject to our biases. Most of us hold that it is much more poorly written than the Skadden filing and unnecessarily aggressive, which might play well to the more zealous backers but is probably at best neutral and more probably actively harmful when the judge is actually reading and assessing the arguments on both sides.

RubberJohnny posted:This piracy news has really upset some backers, I'm seeing account names who were always the aggressive defenders now attacking the project and calling it Pay2Win. The lack of ship persistence being acknowledged and confirmed by CIG is one of the more damaging confessions that could happen. So much of Citizen theorycrafting and dreaming has been based around a wild west style universe where being a pirate is a viable option. Hell, CIG sold pirate themed jpegs. It's also a cascading design problem; if the stolen ships don't persist, many other systems are limited or flat out worthless. CIG pulled a piece out of the Jenga tower fairly close to the bottom and suddenly it's much harder to ignore how wobbly it looks.

I appreciate how absolutely everything about SC is a clusterfuck, not just the game itself. Horrid PR and community management? Inability to stay in compliance with the contract signed with your most important vendor? Plaintext passwords in your new website form submittals? A sketchy security certificate installed pointing to a website you don't even own? It's a hilariously thorough web of top to bottom incompetence.
