If episode VIII is crap we can blame Chris Roberts.
It's been established that Hamill is loyal to a fault but CIG must be paying him a shitload for his management to accept reshoots that overlap with Episode 8 production.

What I discovered shocked me.

Sorry, I have to quote this because it's kind of funny that people would be so mortally offended by adding breadcrumbs and egg to minced meat to make it more malleable. Have you people seriously never heard of this? I grew up in Romania and my mom used to make the bombest loving meatballs using minced meat, egg, flour, and breadcrumbs (plus a bunch of spices and veggies worked into the meat itself). They don't even begin to compare to your savage-rear end meatball marinara bullshit. I can't see why that would be any different for hamburgers, tbh.

The only reason why I don't make it myself is because I can't be hosed to spend an hour massaging spices and other poo poo into minced meat before running each individual meatball through a mixture of battered egg, then flour with breadcrumbs, because that takes way too much loving time, not because it's not delicious as heck.

But trust me, egg and bread crumbs are not the issue here, and you have no idea what you're even talking about if you feel this would impinge upon your god-given right as an amurrican to enjoy your minced cow meat between two hamburger buns.

Eggs and breadcrumbs make great meatballs agreed. In burgers it's another thing entirely, it may help the patties stick together but comes at a cost to both flavor and texture. There are lots of better ways to work a burger into shape

So, I stopped the video at 2:15 to answer the question. I came to this game for immersive gameplay. For a level of complexity that sets new standards. I don't want to push a button and have an action completed. I want to have that action be something that I create myself. Say, making a meal on a ship. I want to have to open a drawer and pull it out. Open it up. Collect other ingredients to prepare the meal. Put it in the microwave. Cook it. Then sit down properly and eat it. Whether that is alone or with other crewmates. Will doing this take time? Yes. Should there be a mechanic to bypass this? Yes. Professions should offer similarly fine details. Let me in on the accountant side of running a business. Do my books balance at the end of the week? Will I need to do more of something to reach a goal that I've set for myself earlier? Do I have enough UEC to pay my crews or NPC's for the work they've done for me as my employees? Are their enough raw materials in my inventory to get those widgets made at the factory so I can sell them in my shoppes? This is the level of detail I want in Star Citizen. I'd go even deeper than this if I thought more people would get on board.

- Random crashes to desktop
- Random 20007 Kicked errors (in a BR match!)
- Random crashes to lobby with Unlocalized Errors
- Unable to respawn half the time after dying, needing to reload the client because reloading the match from the menu causes infinite loading
- The desync and rubberbanding in full matches is still very much an issue


All in all, I find myself having to reload a single match 7-8 times on average in order to finish it.

Good news is that at least now it consistently puts you in the same match. ;)

P.S.: I won't even talk about the missiles. ^^

Well, that should not be too hard even for CIG if there is only one match going on.

When I play a shooter, before the round starts I want to disassemble my gun and clean every part, then put it back together. I then want to lay all my bullets in front of me and load them one by one in a clip. Sharpen my knife. Ensure my uniform meets presentation standards - ironing before putting it on if necessary. Wait, poo poo - I forgot to fill my iron with water. Is the water ionised for optimum ironing? Yes. Ok - breathe, we're fine. Now I need to set my iron to the correct temperature. I don't wanna just hit 'use', I want to press the temperature setting enough times to set it to max and then press the iron directly into my own scrotum to prevent myself from ever procreating.

Okay, fair enough, I guess now that I think about it and as how hamburgers are basically supposed to be mostly meat with little to no spices, I can see how breadcrumbs would diminish that "flavor". I dunno, though, I think you could balance it out with other spices. I'm less orthodox about food than most people, though. (e: and hamburgers have never been a staple in Eastern European cuisine)

Anyway, speaking of Romanian cuisine, you guys should try mici. Don't know how "authentic" this recipe is, though it seems to be pretty close. All I can say is that some mici + mustard and some beer is gonna make you forget all about your Star Citizen sorrows.

False, he knows how to heat an item for a specific amount of time. No way he reads the manual to figure out the reheat or power settings.

SQ42 is , you fly a ship in a straight line and land somewhere, 15~20 minute cutscene plays. You are sent to a briefing room to look at a computer to show the mission, 15~20 minute cutscene plays, you walk to your ship and get in 15~20 minute cutscene plays, you fly off the ship and start the mission, 15~20 minute cutscene plays, you kill 3 ships and win the mission, 15~20 minute cutscene plays.

Repeat that 4 or 5 times and it's done.
