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


:perfect:

O-one is just rice? :confused:

But the potato curry is super simple.

Ingredients:

Potatoes, Onions, Mixed veggies (optional), Oil, Salt, Madras Curry powder (also called garam masala), Cayenne chili peppers (or powder), Asfoetida powder (optional), Mustard seeds or Cumin, plain yogurt or sour cream.

Directions:

1. Dice and cube however many potatoes you want. I used five for this because I was cooking for five people. 1 potato per person, essentially.

2. Put them in water, add a little salt and boil them for 5-10 minutes (depending on quantity). Use a spoon to check out how soft it gets, if your spoon can cut through the potato, it's soft enough.

3. Drain the water.

4. Put the potatoes in a frying pan. At this point, if you have mixed veggies, thaw them and then throw them in for added flavor. Also cut up onions (whatever kind) and throw them in.

5. Drop 1/4th of a cup of oil on the potatoes in the pan.

6. Throw in cumin or mustard seeds.

7. Throw a spoon of curry powder (and Asfoetida if you have it).

8. Throw half a spoon of chili powder (or a spoon if you like it spicy).

9. Turn up the heat and mix.

10. Add a little bit of water (no more than 1/4th of a cup).

11. Add a few spoons of plain yogurt or sour cream (to get that creamy taste that restaurants have.

12. Add salt (just add slowly and taste consistently till you have it).

Then mix the potato curry with plain rice, it's pretty good!

The fact that they keep referring to it as alpha is very disingenuous. It is not alpha. It's a prototype and/or tech demo.

Alpha posted:

Alpha is the stage when key gameplay functionality is implemented, and assets are partially finished. A game in alpha is feature complete, that is, game is playable and contains all the major features. These features may be further revised based on testing and feedback. Additional small, new features may be added, similarly planned, but unimplemented features may be dropped. Programmers focus mainly on finishing the codebase, rather than implementing additions. Alpha occurs eight to ten months before code release, but this can vary significantly based on the scope of content and assets any given game has.

But I guess I'm just nitpicking.

Yeah I remember him saying that. Besides it is very obvious it isn't close to an alpha or remotely playable state. I also don't think it will ever have any sort of persistent world type game play.

It will remain instanced because everyone is focused on Squadron 42 and moving from its current state to persistence requires a lot of work.

If you read up on the Vampire MMO, it reads much like Star Citizen. People kept getting pulled off of it to work on EVE so progress was slow and constantly reset. There was no cohesive vision and systems were implemented and the refined and completed but then scrapped because another system didn't fit it. The whole thing went on for 9 years until it was finally canned.

If only they would update their marketing copy to reflect this... but I guess that might hurt sales, given they are more or less 5 years into dev.

Which is why I squeal with glee every time I see one of the cultists use the "but its alpha" defense

Nawwwwwwwww son, we ain't even close to alpha

It makes me sad they, speculatively, have enough cash reserves to keep this scam running a couple more years. You wonder if public opinion will turn enough to sink the ship, or if crobbers will ride it out to the bitter end.

Croberts is the type of egocentric that will ride this poo poo as far as it will go. They already don't listen to their fans and I am sure the outside world doesn't bother them all that much

Sounds funny enough to me, like Steven Wright talking. Do 'everybody knows'. :)

The trouble is, although he is great and I love those songs, its very hard to parody them and not be really boring about it. Even serious covers of Cohen are rare, Hallelujah works because its short.

Here's a compromise, I could put this to music but I think the lyrics stand well alone, it's Joan of Arc:

Chris Of Parp

Now the flames they followed chris of parp
As he came riding through the dark;
No moon to keep his armour bright,
No skillz to get him through this very ganky night.
he said, oh what a crashing bore,
I want the kind of fame I had before,
A wing commander or something cool
To flaunt in the faces of all those fools.

la la la, la la la,
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
You know I've watched you parping every day
And something in me yearns to win
Such a cold and lonesome citizen.
And who are you? he sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke.
Why, I'm a star, it replied,
And I love your solitude, I love your pride.

la la la, la la la,
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp

Then star, let's code another game,
I'm going to give you cash and fame,
Saying this he climbed inside
To be the one, to be the only guide.
And deep into its fiery heart
It took the dust of chris of parp,
And high above the citizens
It hung the ashes of his epic win.

la la la, la la la,
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp

It was deep into its fiery heart
It took the dust of chris of parp,
And then he understood at last
If it's a star, oh then he must be gas.
I saw him wince, I saw him cry,
I saw the pixels in his eye.
Myself I long for games in space,
But must they burn to ash with such disgrace?

la la la, la la la,
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp
la la la la la parp

Outside the RSI forums the line is "everything is working, it has loads of ships, the gameplay is amazing, people are patrolling the skies".
Inside the RSI forums the line is "of course it doesn't work it's alpha"


Outside of RSI all the comments on gaming sites etc are marketing, they shut down each objection with 'facts', like a salesman is trained to do. Get the objection, nullify it, repeat. Every objection/complaint is now well known and has a default response.
Inside of RSI these same objections / complaints are just shut down and the poster mocked into looking like he doesn't know what he's doing.

It's all marketing, all of it, either by design or bizarre coincidence.

Also catte.

Star Citizen is nothing like SpaceX. SpaceX has a lot of bugs too, but it actually delivers. Here is some gameplay in glorious 4k 60fps. Plays decently even on my low end laptop.
