I'm totally prepared to lose $80 if I can gently caress CIG's refund policy over in Australia, they've already had to change it to (sort of) meet EU standards.

This is the point I would contact the ACCC and get them involved. I'd be really curious to see what they have to say on this as they've brought both EA and Valve into line when it comes to dealing with Australian Consumer Law.

It's pretty easy to gently caress up rice if you cook it in a regular pot, that's why rice cookers own.

rinse rice off a few times in a strainer
1x rice to 1.5x water, by volume
bring to boil in a pan
when it hits boil, put the lid on the pan, take it off the heat entirely and don't touch it for 15 minutes. you got rice

Interesting, most of the time you hear some poo poo about leaving it on the heat to simmer which is where most people forget it and burn it.

You way is still more operations than a rice cooker.

You can get a basic rice cooker for like $20, well worth it unless you've spent all your money on Star Citizen imho.

I prefer 1 rice for 2 water. Use a colander after 15 min to drain excess water.

Only rinse your rice a little before cooking if you want stickier rice. If you want rice that wont stick at all(like parboiled rice but more tender) rinse with hot water in the colander after cooking.

Jasmine rice, fresh butter, Ras el Hanout and chopped green onion. Serve steaming hot.

Aren't physics done by middleware in pretty much every game nowadays? How hard can that be to gently caress up? Let me guess, in their infinite wisdom CIG decided they needed their own physics engine because Havoc or whatever wouldn't offer enough ~fidelity~.

I assume they purchased their physics engine along with Crytech and either it lacked key features that the original engine didn't need or else features (like mass) had to be disabled because the whole engine was making GBS threads itself.

Also don't be rude CR stayed up all night coding that.

Gotta agree with this.

Yeah, rice is hard, and it doesn't help that all the different kinds are differently hard.

But when you understand what's going on, and with a bit of practice, you can do loving rice witchcraft.

I suppose that's good because now they can have non-Newtonian physics.

Not because they'll be relativistic, or anything like that, but because the developers don't understand Newtonian mechanics.

I used my rice cooker twice today, never not own a rice cooker LIFEHACK. My Parp Citizen recipe contribution:

Hot Rice
1 cup rice
2 cups water
Hot sauce

Put rice and water in rice cooker and press the button. When it's done put a layer of rice in a bowl, then pour some legit good-rear end hot sauce on it. Then another layer of rice and hot sauce. (You don't wanna do a whole bowl of rice and only taste the sauce on the top bites!)
Hot rice.

The ships have zero mass, I have a clip of me stood under a ship and it is a few feet above me deadly still, then it turns like a tank a few times and scoots off with zero momentum or anything.
Everything is like that, like the game itself doesn't know or care what weighs what

There are four possibilities here:
1. The emails are faked, CIG has had their legal team send Beer a letter to retract/apologise which he has so far either ignored or had a legal response sent to refusing to do this.
2. The emails are faked, CIG has ignored them and is doing nothing.
3. The emails are real, CIG has had their legal team send Beer a letter to retract/apologise which he has so far either ignored or had a legal response sent to refusing to do this.
4. The emails are real and CIG doesn't want to go near them in legal action because it would be a PR disaster.

2 is the least likely situation here, given Beer's previous visibility in the SC community and also their response to the Escapist. If 1 were true, I couldn't see Beer refusing a request that would avoid further legal action with the possibility of having to pay damages/legal fees, it would be financial suicide. Beer hasn't mentioned any legal request to remove the emails and/or apologise over the matter or any kind of response from CIG so then we're left with option 4. If Sandi did write those emails herself, going anywhere near them legally would be a minefield for CIG to navigate and would be throwing more fuel on to the flames of doubters and sceptics.

You're an idiot.
