Grinning Goblin posted:Quoting this from a while ago because I finally told my friend's friend that Star Citizen is likely to not be released in any timely fashion if at all, and if it does eventually get released, it is going to be a giant trainwreck of poorly implemented half features and a ton of cut content. Which apparently he took well when I told him that. Then I found out the next day he went crazy or something because he found out that I was one of those "SA Goons", and the only reason why Star Citizen might fail is because it is being undermined by people who are working for Derek Smart and are trying to sabotage the game from within. This is all coming from our mutual friend, and I haven't asked him about it. Also our mutual friend is really confused as to why Derek Smart is working with SA and I had to tell him that this is only happening because of how dumb Star Citizen is. You've got to be a bit of an idiot if you think people shitposting on a message board can undermine the development of a big software project. If a bunch of nerds shopping funny images and stirring up the fanbase can demoralise and derail development, then the project was already doomed to begin with. croberts only has himself to blame for this poo poo show.

My favorite thing about the espresso machine is that it exists. My second favorite thing is that literally anybody who has ever worked in a coffee shop can give you a thousand reasons not to buy one.

Yeah Curt, laissez fare economics really did the people of RI a solid there. And I'm sure they'll get right on a lower tax plan just as soon as they figure out how to repay their state pension fund all that money you lost.

Big Huge Games was already in financial trouble before Curt bought it. He kept the lights on and paid staff for one more project than THQ would have. Rise of Nations was not a money maker, and they were on the chopping block as THQ was losing money hand over fist.

D_Smart posted:Nah, just kidding around. I used be on Paxil for awhile, over 10 years ago, though. I quit cold turkey because I simply do not like taking any meds except if my life depends on it. As I got older, my anxiety disorder is in check. Some days are better than others. It's the mild OCD that's a lot harder to control. Posting from the past but, I imagine that sucked. I dated a girl who did that. She ended up with hallucinations and auditory glamours from the withdrawal. For a few days after she quit, Satan would routinely come in and sit on the edge of her bed and ask if they could discuss current events.

Well, given the level of detail and effort they place in patching the game I imagine the espresso machine is beyond reproach in regards to its condition. Obviously, you know nothing of how espresso machines work.

Rookersh posted:e: Also it's a loving espresso machine for an office? Who the gently caress makes espresso at work. Unless they also all got taught how to steam milk, which HAHAHAHA that's a workplace liability just waiting to happen. EightAce, how many people have tried to steam milk only to burn their hands? How many people have poured the most foul loving shots imagine from that machine? Who even uses that espresso machine. I need to know now. Most workplaces just offer brewed coffee because it's easier then having to train everyone at your office how to be a ( bad ) barista. People have gotten really goddamned serious about coffee. In 2008 I worked in a place where there was a manual espresso machine, and the coffee nerds obsessed over improving their technique hardcore. I remember one coworker being elated at mastering foaming soy milk. Since then I've worked at places where multiple people hand-roast their own beans every morning, and refuse to drink anything else.

I loving legit refused to believe they had bought one. Honestly. I was a barista for like three years and I couldn't even imagine why someone would do that. I was 110% sure that they had bought some kind of high end consumer model, which in my mind was a marginally defensible expenditure. I was 110% loving wrong.

When I'd complain, you would talk to management and then explain menu items are subject to change due to the pipeline. We'd both laugh after I spent $5 on a $3 neutered drink and I'd walk away thinking it was awesome.
