raises some questions though, if its true. How long before the release of the game would they want to reveal they're porting it over? It seems like they want SQ42 out by Q1 2017 at the latest. Does it make sense to hype a console release more than, say, 4 months in advance of that, considering its likely to alienate part of their base? Or will they think its better to announce it soon in order to bring console people on-board? Crossing my fingers for soon.

They knew SQ42 had no market (at least on pc) since anyone who gave 2 cent about that aspect of the game already got it via either a pledge or the kickstarter. Porting it to console will ensure at least a few thousands of units sold to video rentals and Wallmat bargain bins. They just need to adjust the animation skeleton one more time to take the XBone lower processing power in account. Two weeks tops.

Hopper posted:Fuzzknot, do you happen to have a good guacamole recipe? I need one for Friday. I can't let a recipe question go unanswered, it's far more important than star citizen. I had to make a lot of guac when I spent that half a year or so working at chipotle, and this is basically their recipe scaled down: What you need: 1 avocado per person, give or take. They should be yielding and dark, green skin means they aren't ripe yet. If it's dark and too firm then put it back, it probably came from a young avacado tree and if you cut it open it'll be fibrous as hell and really unpleasant to eat. If you have a choice, get Hoss avocados. They're like god drat butter they're so good, and perfect for guac 1 red onion 1 Jalapeno, and get a fresh one, if you're using more than 10 or so avocados then you'll probably want 2 just in case 1 lemon 1 lime Fresh cilantro Salt Notice that I didn't give you any exact measurements or "real" amounts other than a grocery list. This is because this is a recipe you need to make judgement calls on. If you like lots of onions, then add all the onion. If you don't like lots of heat, maybe go easy on the jalapenos. It's up to you. I'd recommend waiting until the tasting step to make a call on final amounts, and reserving some of the ingredients instead of just throwing them all in is just how this works. When you're seasoning (adding salt) to the avocados, I'd go with something like a quarter teaspoon per avocado to start with. I generally end up having to add more, but it's not possible to pull out salt you've already mixed in, so just go easy on it until you can taste it. Same with the lemon/lime, although that's generally just a good splash to start and then add more to taste. There are knife skills involved, so pay attention and be careful with this: Dice your onion. I'd only dice half of it to start because you won't use a whole onion for this, and a half onion keeps better than diced onions. If you just loving love onions then go ahead. Dice your jalapeno. Cut off the stem, then you're going to box it. Place the now flat stem side down on the cutting board and box it by making 4 cuts to turn the inside into a box with a green end and the seeds left. It will not be perfect because jalapenos are like penises. Each one curves a little different. Take your 4 sides and slice them into matchsticks, or juliene as the french call it. Take your matchsticks and cut them into as fine a dice as you like. Dice up the Cut up your cilantro. Take your bundle and pack it into a tight kind of loaf. Hold it with your non dominant hand and just slice it as finely as you can. Once you've sliced one way, put your knife under the mess and flip it upside down and 90 degrees, pack it again, and slice it again. After that, if you want it finer then just use a rock cut (place your non dominant hand ON TOP of your knife toward the end and keep your fingers up, then rock it back and forth like a rocking chair) until you get the cut sizes you like. For the love of god keep your fingers away from the edge at all times. The best way to think about knife safety is to consider there's only one part of the knife that can hurt you, so keep yourself away from that one side and out of its path. All knife safety starts from that premise. Juice your lemon and lime. If you toss them in a microwave for like 15 seconds, then roll them on your cutting board to loosen up the fibers in the fruit, you will get a lot more out of them If you heat them up then be careful because it will be a lot hotter than you think 15 seconds would account for. Take your avocado in your non dominant hand and put your thumb on the sticker, this will keep you from cutting through the sticker and dragging it into the guac. The idea is to cut it lengthwise in half, and you'll rotate the avocado around the knife. Don't cut through the core. It should pop open and then you can pop the core out by lightly tapping it with the edge of your knife to dig in slightly and twisting it. If not, well, just make sure you get all of it out. Take a spoon and scoop out the inside of the avacado into a big bowl. Avoid scraping off the dark stuff on the inside of the skin, it will make you sick and also tastes terrible. I usually just scoop out my avocado and then inspect them, scraping off any dark stuff I find. Less waste, simple. Once you get your avocados in the bowl, add some lemon and lime juice, reserving quite a bit of it, make a judgement call on how much you want to add. This does double duty by going to work on breaking down the avocado flesh while also preventing it from immediately oxidizing (turning darker). Avacados are very very sensitive to oxygen, so citrus of some kind is a definite must have. It will still oxidize, and I have a trick later for storing to help keep it fresher, but making guac is a game of chicken where you want to make it as late as possible so it will be as lovely green as possible. A good pinch of salt is also a good idea. Grab your potato masher and just smash the gently caress out of it. You don't need sour cream or dairy to make a creamy guac, you need to get the gently caress in there and show it how the fourth stimpire treats people. If it's not creamy enough for you, mash it more. I like having some chunkiness to it, but it's up to you. Once you've got it where you like it, add your red onion bits and jalapeno bits and cilantro bits. Grab a rubber spatula and mix it together. Taste it, add salt/lemon juice as needed. Taste it in at least 2 places, preferably three. At chipotle the standard was one taste from the center, one from the outer side, one from between the two (this was from a bowl about 2 feet in diameter and an entire box of avocados, about 40 pounds of the stuff). You need to make sure that what you taste is representative of what you will be serving, and if one area is really salty and another really lemony and you mix them together it'll turn out just fine. If you're not serving it immediately, take your container and put your guac in it. Take one layer of plastic wrap and press it down so it's directly on the guac itself. Be sure to press any air bubbles out of it because air is the enemy. Then take another player of plastic wrap and wrap that tightly over the top the way you would normally wrap something up. If you've got a lid, do both layers and then drop a lid on. I like to serve it alongside a fresh pico de gallo with homemade tortilla chips (which are way easier to make than you think they are) but that's up to you. I don't think it needs sour cream either, but that's also up to you. Some people also add diced tomato, which I don't think it needs, but, again, that's up to you. If it's for a lot more people feel free to say how many, I'll scale it up for you. Generally I'd go 1 jalapeno for 10 avocados, but this depends on how much you like jalapenos. You will probably never use more than 1 onion, and chances are you will have leftover onion. For the entire batch of guac we would use maybe 2-3 red onions, depending on the size of the onion.

Well, I guess I "completed" SC 2.1.1.2.3. This would have been a nice tech demo if it had been released 12 to 18 months ago. Now it just makes you ask WTF has CIG been doing for the last 3 loving years. If this is really the condition the game is in right now I don't really see how it could be finished in 2 or even 3 years.

Given the state of the game at present I can't imagine CIG locking the game down for final QA passes and cleanup any sooner than the beginning of Q4 2016. That strikes me as wildly ambitious. But it does seem to be when you would expect the advertisement campaign to start rolling out if this isn't anything more than a very entertaining joke. I have a pretty hard time believing that this could be remotely true. I hope against hope that it is, but man between being totally uncertain of anyone wanting to enter into a contract with the toxic pile that is CIG's development nightmare or CIG wanting to enter into a contract with anyone that takes them beyond the realm of "lol we have your money" into actual liability. What company would pay Chris Roberts cash up front for delivery of any game, let alone this one? It would have to be a 'on delivery' type deal.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that one of the best things about guac is the freedom to add spices you think taste good. I personally think it's good to make the basic version once so you know how it turns out, but you can also experiment with a batch and see what works well with it. Cayenne adds some good flavor layers.

Thanks to everyone that has backed Star Citizen we have no need to sell out to anyone! You've funded a AAA PC game that will compete with the biggest and best. By the time the game is officially "done", I'm pretty sure that the final funding will be larger than most AAA console games outside the very biggest like GTA or CoD - and our money goes much further as we don't have any corporate overhead or fancy marketing budgets. You have all proven there is at least as much demand for a high end PC game as most console games.

Cilantro is baller, and if you haven't discovered it yet you're in for a treat. I like to keep a fresh bundle and just tear off little bits to add to almost everything I eat. It's basically the flavor I associate with freshness, goes great on drat near any sandwich and especially with any cheese.
