What is a plain coffee from a barista in America?

Like, what I would describe as a plain coffee in NZ is something you find in other countries as a rare speciality. What I picture when I think "plain coffee" for the US is just that lovely drip pot that exists in every white persons's kitchen and roadside diner on television.

You are correct. It's just hot water run through coffee grounds and a filter. Drip coffee. The stuff the strung-out, haggard Waffle House waitress pours into your cup with a "you're welcome" grunt as you mutter "thanks".

Sometimes that's all you need and want. It's kept America running forever.

When my dad quit smoking as my older sister was on her way, he switched to coffee at work. Black. 10-12 cups a day. "If you want milk and sugar, just buy a candy bar."

God drat, now I wanna go to Waffle House.

I hate coffee but my guess is coffee made from beans that are ground and then put in a strainer and have hot water poured through them at the proper temperature and for the proper amount of time to brew coffee without getting the poo poo flavor from the beans in the coffee. And then you drink it before some rear end in a top hat dumps pumpkin spice and goat milk in it.

I was not much of a coffee drinker, but then I started buying the beans green and roasting it myself (also got a nice burr grinder), now I drink it all the time. It also has had the effect of making all other coffee taste like burnt crap. I just use a french press to make my coffee.

The refund was not for the KS game, since he had already delivered it. It was for the pos-KS version being sold on Steam. And my comment was that, after he started getting flak, he tried to deflect it into saying that the game was bad, blah, blah, blah. Yet, he made the video private anyway. So somewhere, he must have realized that he irresponsibly screwed up. So I called him out on it.

And then he went and hid it like a little bitch, so there was no real repercussions, right?

Yeah, they deleted the Stimpire instead of just crossing it out and it's nowhere near as toxic as 90% of what gets posted on the RSI forums that gets left alone. It's really just dissent and total insanity that doesn't sell jpegs that gets quashed.

What's your timing on the french press? Add water, swirl, add rest of water, wait 30 seconds, stir, wait 3.5 minutes, pour? Does it matter how dark the roast is?

However, Roberts warns that being completely open about your game’s development is a “double-edged sword”.

“Since we share so much information externally, that provides ammunition for people who want to be negative,” he says. “You have to put up with the critics because the transparency helps in the education process and more people than not appreciate it.”

Good question. We’re definitely gonna have a crossbow (thanks to Shroud of the Avatar). We’re definitely gonna have melee, so in the very early stage of the FPS, it’s just straight-up brawling, but in the long term plan for melee, you’ll have some basic punch/duck moves. But then you’ll be able to different places around the universe (like a Tevarian dojo) and learn some Tevarian martial arts, so then you’ll have extra moves to use.

From there, when you engage in hand to hand combat, the more moves you use, the more options you have against someone and the more defense you have. And if they haven’t had the same level of training, they’ll have fewer options to use against you. So it’ll be cool – if you spend a bit of time, you can pick up some combat moves around the universe. So we’ll definitely be having that on the melee basis.

For weapon options, we definitely have knives, not really sure about swords or hammers. So in the short term, probably not, but in the longer term, why not? It’s not all that different than a knife or some of the melee stuff I’m talking about. Although it probably won’t get to the point where two sword wielders can fence, who knows – in the long, long, long term future… :)

But generally, I would say you could expect the melee stuff you’d see in a modern world setting. So things like knives, different ways of fighting with your hands, and then guns and crossbows and stuff like that.

Don't forget all the melee combat there's going to be in the game, including alien martial arts that you must get trained in an alien dojo to learn.
