It's lame that Chris or Sandi don't post here. Very one-sided. Come on guys, just pay :tenbux: and start posting. It's like group therapy.

Caught up with the thread, and the clusterfuck that is Parp Shitizen. I put a sizeable amount of money into Elite: Dangerous, mainly for nostalgia reasons as I played the gently caress out of Elite and Frontier, and I've been a little frustrated at how Elite has developed over the past couple of years, in that it's still a very shallow game. I believe the phrase is "a mile wide but an inch deep." Still, I'll take that over "an inch wide and picometres deep."

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:I always see it as Derek Smart makes games that Derek Smart would enjoy playing. If you don't enjoy it, that's your problem, you should be Derek Smart so you can enjoy the game. In all seriousness, from a distance it seems like Derek is a typical developer. That is, hardly able to see things from the viewpoint the average user. The shop I work at has 30 developers, of which at least 20 are unable to imagine why stuff they make is horribly user-unfriendly and/or terribly confusing because it makes sense to them. If you limit your target audience to people who don't mind battling your software (ie. redefining what your average user is :-)) and get by, all the power to him though.

D_Smart posted:Yeah, mine are Crizal. I have two pairs. The reading/computer ones, and the outdoor ones which have auto solar tinting When I got new glasses last year I went ahead and paid for the magnetic sunglass lenses instead. Soooooooo nice, because I don't get any sort of tinting unless I want it, but they aren't as bulky as clip-ons, or having to carry a second pair around. Highly recommended.

It's the same thing that I have. They are clear indoors, and auto-tint (due to solar light) when I am outside.

Not to chestpound about my job/skill level, but I'm not sure joe schmoe the engineer can properly realize that it started raining 15 minutes ago, so now he needs to adjust the shots the person before him pulled... As a non coffee drinker I am intrigued about this bit. How does the outside weather affect pulled shots? Also what is a shot and what is pulling one? Pouring boiling water in a mug with a teabag is about as far as I go with caffeine consumption. Also, everyone taking the dereki code poo poo seriously is hilarious.

Not being allowed to use the office coffee machine unless you've had specialist training is an indication you've purchased the wrong type of coffee machine for an office.

Working for Chris Roberts is another sign you're in the wrong office. However, if I was being paid to waste time learning how to make frothy dogshit and post about it on Facebook I wouldn't complain too much.

A shot is the actual espresso made by the machine, and pulling a shot is the action of forcing water through the grounds to make the espresso. Because the conditions for actually getting what some people would call an "acceptable" shot of espresso are so dependent on the variables (grind, tamp, time, and temperature if your machine lets you gently caress with that) it also is affected by things like humidity. So when the ambient humidity increases you need to adjust things like grind (push a little coarser) and pull time. Some people think you should adjust your tamp, but IMO tamp should always stay consistent.
