This is how you cook a ton of rice bootcha. Super easy. :)

Also the potato curry was me. It's better than the stuff you get at a restaurant. This poo poo's authentic. Also, it's pretty drat spicy.

I wonder what my friends cooked! :yum:

Can I get the recipe for both, please? That looks delicious!

Not sure if this is the correct metaphor. The soviets did horribly dangerous thing in the beginning of space exploration and depending of what source you believe even hid a few of them forever in the closet (lost cosmonauts). They may have lost the moon race, but for a time they where definitely the "best at space". We may have laughed at the "farm tractor tech" they sometime used and they sure where unable to grasp the idea of nuclear safety but when they tried their hands at a space shuttle (Burane) its was designed and automated so efficiently that the few times it flew, it launched and landed all on its own, no pilot needed.

Star Citizen would be closer to the NASA Shuttle program. A hugely costly, overly complicated, prone to failure (Gods bless all those astronauts) "try to do everything" giant experiment in space ship design that eventually had to be abandoned.

One thing I dont get about the graphical/network load problems, couldn't they just limit the game to a 4v4 deathmatch style game, and put large battles as a longer term goal, when computer specs have increased and are capable of handling more stuff?

isnt that what their arena commander is? except 3v3 and no one plays it because its just as buggy and hasnt been updated in years

Optimizations aren't going to come- it's supposed to be next generation, really pushing the limits of computer hardware with weird/nonexistent LOD models, straining your 128 GB of RAM with tremendous memory leaks, and testing your CPU by simulating the physics of every entity in the game environment at once because it's next-gen, sorry if your computer can't handle it.

Well, I mean, the rice looks super fluffy, so I thought there might be some secret to that.

I wouldn't say E:D is like Buran since it was a pretty obvious copy of the Space Shuttle, only flew once and then was destroyed in a hangar collapse. (Star Citizen is definitely more like that.)

a 100,000 poly sphere is far more high fidelity than a 10,000 poly sphere, my eyes can tell the difference because one or two pixels around the edge will be different

it's important for fidelity that the texture resolution and polycounts are higher than the pixel density of my monitor

Predicting when SC fails shitizens will be like "bbbbbut Chris saved space games so my $30K was well spent :smithicide:"

honestly, i've never seen victims of a scam i felt no sympathy for. but anyone still in this and not doing a charge-back or trying to get their money back deserves to lose it. i mean, the people who blew 30-45 bucks and never checked again i feel bad for because they aren't the ones letting a bloated failure of a developer keep working on this poo poo.

its amazing, there are absolutely no indicators that this game will be anything but a flaming pile of failure and broken dreams and there are many games that have been in development for as long or longer than SC will be released fully, 100% before even one part of SQ42 releases. the retard at the head of this will just constantly add new features that he likes from every game coming out and then the money will run out and that will be that.
