There's actually been some cool genetic studies related to the hatred of cilantro. It turns out my not liking it is influenced by my genes but not so much that it's un-fixable, so I really have no excuse.

NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 tried to turn
2 couldn't not turn

ACTUAL RESULT
it happens randomly but this time was after i quantum jumped, then when i came out of the jump i could not turn my ship, until i got in and out of my ship, ive also had it when my trusters are stuck on so i can't get out of strafing to the right but that's for another thread!

EXPECTED RESULT
got out of my ship and back in to fix it

Got me thinking, correct me if I'm wrong but can current Star Citizen pilot AI do anything but try to shoot you out of the sky? I've never seen video of patrol ships and obviously mining/cargo NPCs don't exist.


There is another kickstarted space game called "Limit Theory" and the one man dev at least had NPCs floating around doing stuff before going into a tailspin. Undeniably Star Citizen in a microcosm as the guy has been refactoring the engine for 2+ years.

Actually someone proved in a video that the NPCs in the PU that spawn for missions are just on a scripted loop. They managed to trigger the spawn event while being off in the distance and you could see the ships just repeating the same actions over and over, but it tricks the idiot backers with smoke and mirrors apparently because they say it's better than any AAA game out there when it's just bots firing all their weapons in loops and it looks somewhat convincing if you are in the middle of it when it spawns.

Any videos I've seen of Vanduul Swarm are just flying around and picking a target to kill, so the AI there might even be just scripted to fly in circles firing it's weapons since I've never seen someone get chased by the AI, just killed when there are enough NPCs spawning that the hail of random fire and missiles takes you out.

It either speaks to how delusional the backers are or how little people actually play the game that more people haven't figured out there is no actual AI yet. Just like that homestead demo with NPCs performing a single action (Walk back and forth) (stand in one place firing gun) if you are an idiot that looks like AI.

They used to do a thing in high school biology courses, when they covered genetics, to have students compare their taste of cilantro to their parents. This isn't done so much anymore because it tended to cause problems when the results suggested the student's father wasn't actually their biological father.

I've also tried every sugar substitute I've been able to get my hands on. I still want to try the monk fruit based one. They're all weird tasting, even the ones that aren't supposed to be. Most often they taste kind of metallic. Even the two big ones now, sucralose, and stevia, just taste wrong. The classic aspartame (I think that's what in diet Coke) makes me feel kind of not well and pushes me toward having a headache, granted I was predisposed to extremely severe migraines in my childhood.

The only one I've ever liked was xylitol. Xylitol tastes great, has a subtle cooling effect like mint, cooks and browns just like sugar, and is naturally derived from cherries and birch bark. I like the taste of xylitol better than sugar. It's also acts as an antibiotic, and helps prevent cavities. Problem is, it also acts as an osmotic laxative. 3-4 teaspoon of it might leave you stuck on the toilet for an hour or two. Xylitol is why eating too many cherries gives you the shits.

So many of their stretch goals are just completely dumb or even counter productive. The stretch goal for a commercial is mind boggling. Gives us more money so we can make a meta commercial, for some reason. The $49 million goal is even more dumb.

quote:

Xi’An Space Plant – Similar to a bonsai tree, the Centennial Bloom is a very famous Xi’An plant indigenous to Eealus III that blossoms for one night every one hundred years. They sell the plants in sealed terrariums to traders. Ever since their introduction to the UEE, Humanity has been fascinated by these beautiful plants and the wait for them to bloom.

Get us to $49 million so we'll make you a plant that blooms once every hundred years. What the gently caress?

Fructose isn't that bad, but at that point you're probably better off sticking to sucrose and moderating the gently caress out of it on the basis that a reaaaaally good steak is better than a vat of chopped beef. And I say that as someone that enjoys the menu at McDonalds.

Mind you, having said that, it's mostly high fructose corn syrup (blended fuctose and glucose) unless you hunt around for throwback or hit the ethnic aisles on the drinks side.

Sucrolose is a lot less nasty than aspartame, and saccharin was just horrific. I could smell that poo poo a street away.
