As a member of a nation if you drink coffee in a certain way you're basically a pile of poo poo.

So last time I looked into this thing that I threw 25 bones at years ago was when they had that livestream where Chris Roberts couldn't figure out how to play his own game and said the chat was garbage. I think there was also something about the mafia idk. Anyway what's the new hillariousness going on? Any actual, you know, progress.

I like espresso for what it's worth.

Cliffsnotes: They cancelled the FPS module and have started stripping features from SC wholesale. The Alpha is more broken than it was when Chris poo poo the bed live. Most of CIG is being devoted to getting the single player campaign out the door but they don't have any showable footage of the game, rumors are that its a late 2017 release at the earliest.

She weighs about 5 pounds, eats every 12 hours & sleeps 22 hours a day on a heating pad. She was born around Christmas 1994 & I got her as a hand me down when she was 7. She sounds like Nanny Fine in cat form & hates my other 3 cats more than anything else in this world. She's cranky & demanding & exceedingly vocal. A little blind, a little deaf, a little bit of dementia. I love her so much & treasure every day I have with her.

It isn't coffee if there is no french press.

PewDewpie or whatever got famous for yelling "RAPE RAPE OMG IT GONNA RAPE ME " while playing games with fright scares. This world is culturaly stunted forever.

On longhair cats, the older they get the less they care about grooming, I think they do it on purpose just to spite. Clippers rule. Lion hair cut cats rule.

Uhhh... sorry friend, but unless you completely decant all of the coffee immediately after brewing, the grounds remaining in contact with the water will continue to leach acidity into the coffee.

Merchantman Trading System: Will it work like this?

Fuzzy Modem posted:

You've been out on the border of Vanduul territory for a week. Your Vanguard, The Lonely Bear , is mostly undamaged save for a short in the sensor computer, but you are all out of ammo, missiles, insta-zum packets, and toilet paper.

Your radar picks up a new signal, and you are about to call back to your gunner, Frank, who is hiding in the head with your dirty magazines again, when the sound of a Banu comm's signal hits you like the song of an ice cream truck on a hot day.

You hail the Merchantman Guillermo Del Toro, and speak to her Captain, who assures you they have a little bit of everything to suit every need. As neither of you have an airlock, you propose a rendezvous on a volcanic moon, roughly 2/3rds of the way from you to the Banu.

It takes a little while to get there, but the system if mostly free of asteroids, so you leave the Bear in the hands of your gunner after he's washed them, and use the time go through inventory and suit up, as the moon doesn't have much in the way of breathable atmosphere.

As you approach the moon, you see the Merchantman has already landed, and you hone in on her signal, taking care to avoid the flammable cloud formations and geyser eruptions. Your gunner gets his helmet on, and reaches for his triple barreled "thunder-whak" rapid fire grenade launcher, when you remind him that weapons aren't allowed aboard the Banu vessel.

You fire ventral thrusters and extend landing gear, touching down a bit farther from the Banu than you'd like. Your tank treads slowly but reliably carry you across the harsh obsidian surface of the small planetoid, and you parallel park with your rear exit ramp facing the Banu's forward entrance ramp.

You open your ramp and quickly close it behind you and Frank, wondering what the interior is going to smell like once the oxygen has replenished. You trot over to the Merchantman, minding the glass stalagmites, and up her ramp to the lift, which opens invitingly.

You remove your helmets and the elevator carries you past the cargo hold (which is locked) and stops before it reaches the upper decks and bridge (which are locked) you step out into the Negotiation Room of the Guillermo Del Toro, where her second in command is waiting for you.

You are sure his Banu features mean to convey genuine hospitality, but you get something of a predatory snake-oil salesman vibe, and counter with the poker face and bearing of a veteran haggler. Frank scratches his rear end.

You look down into the massive cargo hold of the Merchantman and see 31 flavors of cargo container. Battered military grey, scorched industrial yellow, the occasional rusty green of a slave cage, (marked to indicate live cargo) and a plethora of other shapes and colors.

Ammo and missiles are first off the list, and the price seems fair. A little too fair. You decide to slow things down and take a seat, chatting with the Banu about politics, gossip, and a variety of other subjects until he begins to look bored. You mention the short in your sensors and he perks up again, hopping on a console and referencing the part number. He has a workable alternative in stock and a hologram appears at the center of the table. It's a used part from a Freelancer DUR but can be modified to work with your input ports for a fee that's just about unreasonable enough to get your haggle going.

Now that you've established a rapport, it's time to talk food and toilet paper. Most of the rations he's carrying are Vanduul cuisine, which speaks to his purpose in the area. It's inedible for humans as well as horrifying, and the Banu scrolls quickly past it to the Earther fare. Frank salivates at the projected images of protein sandwiches, vitamin crackers and starch bars.

Suddenly you spot something. You ask the Banu to stop and go back, which he does with great theatricality. Limes. Real limes. And two bottles of real Mexican beer, all the way from Earth. They cost you more than you spent on missiles and ammo, but when the Banu offers to throw in the dirty magazines Frank is now flipping through on the holo-viewer, negotiations are concluded.

As the credits are deducted from your account, the Merchantman's massive machinery rumbles to life, rotating and lowering storage containers on a conveyor belt like an old-time juke-box. A Banu crew member in the cargo hold gathers the items on a hand truck and rolls it into the lift, then locks the door behind him. The platform raises and the door opens behind you, revealing all your purchases. You say goodbye and step into the lift.

You practically skip back across the moon's low gravity surface and into The Lonely Bear , while Frank pulls the hand truck. It's wheels both pop along the way, and Frank looks embarrassed after returning it. Your twin engines roar as you take to the sky, a little poorer, but content, and ready to take down some more Vanduul. Frank takes a magazine and moves toward the head, but you hand him the salvaged sensor component and tell him to get to work installing it.

Leaning back in your cockpit seat, you look out at the stars and crack the top off a beer, then slide a fresh juicy lime wedge into the bottle and take a gulp. It's a good day to be in the 'Verse... but you were right, the ships interior really smells like farts now. Next time you trade with the Banu you'll remember to buy some air freshener. drat! You forgot the toilet paper!
