Do you guys think Ben is more hurt by us calling him fat or by saying how bad he is at his job and how recently his entire life has been dedicated to promoting a scam?

I dunno. He did both of those things to himself so...I'd give it a 50/50 chance.

I don't think Ben is hurt by anything at all we, or anyone else, says. I think what's hurting him right now is the extraordinarily slow, drawn-out enlightenment he's finding himself on the cusp of. His comment about COD:IW blew me away - I didn't think he had the ability to see, rationally, that SC is failing - but his comment indicated exactly that. The thrust of his comment was actually just wistful thinking that if Wing Commander had remained a popular IP over the decades, then today, Infinite Warfare is what it might have resembled. What he didn't say is what I heard the loudest: that Star Citizen is not.

Outside of what it says about Ben or his fat content, those donuts look loving disgusting.

I've lost 44 pounds so far and it's amazing the food that now looks inedible to me. Anything outside of a Bavarian creme donut just makes my teeth hurt to look at it.

I'll admit jealousy here. I also lost 45 pounds, and food like that is what put it there to begin with. I'm as tempted by those as I've ever been - there was a time, not long ago, I would have eaten every loving donut in that picture, and that would have been my day's intake. I was hoping that the old foods would being to look disgusting to me, but it never happened. Of course at my job a day doesn't go by without Munchkins, donuts, loving cinnamon rolls you can smell a mile away, etc. and I gotta just ball up my fists and fight through it. I probably burn more calories resisting the urge than anything else. Misery keeps you thin.

My office is like that as well. Owner thinks he's being nice buy bringing Entemans in every day.
Most of it get's eaten by the warehouse crew and they are mostly thin guys from the constant moving around all day.

My weakness was good bread and a nice cheese. No one ever brings those into the office.

So Derek sent a tweet today referencing this article:

http://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/feature/the-star-citizen-honeymoon-is-over,413944

and in the leading disclaimer, I read this gem:

quote:

I stand by most of my crtiticisms of the game design process, and of course, personal feelings about ship design, but the important thing to bear in mind is that since writing this RSI has demonstrated an ability to release good playable content (Alpha 2.1), and surprise us with unexpected innovations (seamless planetary transitions).

Wait, what? Their pre-alpha tech demo is NOT, in any way, shape, or form, "good playable content". In fact, all three of those words have to go. Furthermore - "seamless planetary transitions?" Motherfucker, do you mean from that fake gameplay trailer built to compete specifically with Elite's release of actual seamless planetary transitions, when there is no such feature in the game? They don't have a single planet, much less the transitions. They don't even have ships that fly properly. It's still one space port, a couple of destinations where you can flip a switch, janky flight, janky FPS, infinite crashes and bugs in a nearly non-functional tech demo environment, and space underwear.

The only software that works at CIG is the billing software.

Because trans people have a disturbingly high rate of suicide usually related to gender dysphoria so pointing out that someone's voice doesn't sound right when they're trapped in a constant reminder of aforementioned dysphoria is a teeny bit more lovely.

I won't lie, salty food is my weakness. I try to eat jerky when I crave doritos ( only slightly better, but the protein is good because I'm breastfeeding) but

Comments on that Kotaku article are a clusterfuck. Despite the article not mentioning the word a bunch of the comments are banging on about it not being a scam. If you have to defend a thing by talking about how it's not a scam even when no one says it is, that's a warning sign.

I hate everything sweet and love everything salty (my defintion of a pizza is many, many anchovies with whatever is needed under them so they don't fall to the floor). Strangely, the only time I like sweet flavour is when I BBQ. Spare Ribs with a nice cherry rub, smoked for two hours, then simmered in butter, brown sugar, maple sirup and borboun for another two hours. Finally glazed for another 30 minutes with a mix of apple juice and your favourite style BBQ sauce. It's unhealthy as gently caress, but once a year I can't stop myself from cooking it for the family.

But apart from that, I lost any interest in sweet flavour when I had to loose weight couple of years ago. To the point that such a donut plate nearly makes me sick. Then again, I wasn't a sucker for sweets before.
