BigMouthSingers posted:Just trying to imagine how much pressure CIGZ are under this week, trying to get 3.0 to look like it uses graphics acceleration, showing the Sqaukron 42 progress, dealing with a law suit and a potential run on refunds. It's like a perfect storm! If only someone could kickstart a juicer that operates off of CIG development pressure with special (concierge) packs. No matter how much you squeeze you wouldn't get anything out of it but boy howdy it'll squeeze.

Dark Off posted:more proof for skadden. If I am not mistaken, previous context missing in the video, the platform comment is probably referring to the crowdfunding platform. Ie how to help other projects crowdfunding etc. The rest of his comments about “full buy out” are even more clear cut than Erin’s post in their old forums. Either CR is full poo poo, doesn’t have a clue of what CIG really bought/licensed from Crytek, or Skadden is full of incompetent interns.

Spiderdrake posted:I don't know if you're kidding or not, but maple syrup is amazing with ham and bacon. Just amazing. Absolutely not kidding. Bacon is the spice for other protein, such as egg, fish or beef. Or great in lonesome majesty. Putting maple syrup on bacon is misguided in the same way as putting wagyu beef on a nigiri. Great concepts that shouldn't mix. Maple syrup is for pancakes and salmon glazing.

Putting maple syrup on bacon is misguided in the same way as putting wagyu beef on a nigiri. Great concepts that shouldn't mix. Maple syrup is for pancakes and salmon glazing. Normally I'd agree but from a culinary standpoint, maple syrup bacon is a known thing and maple-glazed bacon is actually very popular. Going overboard with the maple isn't wise, but neither is going overboard with bacon itself. Adding a sweet note to something very, very fatty and salty works. It just does. A less-intense form of the same idea is glazing ham with pineapple and honey or brown sugar. The latter also explains why pineapple pizza exists.

Syrup on your bacon can happen accidentally (e.g. when one is eating pancakes or waffles alongside bacon), but it should never be applied intentionally. It's immoral.

Yes, I concede that a mild sweetening of salty/umami dishes (ie meat) makes culinary sense. But bacon is already sweet by itself, especially if it's pancetta. It doesn't need external sweetening, on the contrary, the frying often needs to be carefully controlled to avoid the Maillard reaction resulting in the sweetness overpowering the other notes. Depending on the curing process, composition of the brine, the cut of meat, etc. it may be less important to be paranoid about the frying, but I've never had bacon that I felt lacked sweetness.

CRYTEK V. STAR CITIZEN: A CLOSER LOOKquote:But even here, it gets complicated. CIG announced a change to Amazon’s Lumberyard engine in December 2016, and CIG could offer a defence that even if CryEngine was used for the initial development of Squadron 42, it was replaced prior to any release, which means that CIG is no longer in breach of contract or Crytek’s copyright. This defence might not eliminate damages (there was certainly a period of time between the announcement of Squadron 42 and the switch to Lumberyard where the game was being developed with CryEngine), but it would certainly have the potential to reduce them.

It's cool at first, but after 3 weeks I really did feel like puking sometimes. Yes, that's also been my experience when visiting America. It's not that we don't love sugar in Denmark, why we even have glazed ham, but it's primarily something to be used extremely sparingly outside of confectionery and deserts. Our local turnip sugar pushers try their best to get us to use more sugar in cooking, but it hasn't really caught on (apart from sugary beverages and candy en masse). But the American love of sugar in actual proper food is very odd to me. Don't get me wrong: I like sweet-and-salty - especially sauces are awesome with a healthy amount of sweetness (preferably from onions, wine, etc. rather than refined sugar). But most food gets perfectly sweet without interference - fried meat, baked vegetables, etc. To be fair, we have our own culinary oddities. I have rather fond memories of how some brits react to seeing us put chocolate in scones, and we do love a good helping of salty licorice to get our blood pressure maxed out. But our use of butter when baking, and not foul vegetable oils, is a great example of culinary supremacy.

Mr.Tophat posted:Butter > Oil in cooking Depends on the oil really. Vegetable oils range from very healthy to borderline toxic. Also depends on the presence of lactose tolerance, to be fair, although clarified butter is sort of an option.

This confusion can be answered by this PederP posted:Our local turnip sugar pushers try their best to get us to use more sugar in cooking, but it hasn't really caught on (apart from sugary beverages and candy en masse). except replace “turnip” with “corn” and it worked. Americans are just supersaturated with sugar (in the form of high fructose corn syrup) in foods from a very young age, and it takes explicit effort and diet management to undo it. And if you’re in a situation where you don’t have the time or money to buy and prepare healthier meals and you’re relying on fast or preprocessed foods you’re probably not going to be able to easily kick that.

Mr.Tophat posted:That it has too much sugar in every dish? Or too much spice? Definitely sugar, though part of that has to do with being raised with similar dishes so thai food hits a weird uncanny valley of "this is just like that thing that grandma made, except way too sweet." Once I noticed how sweet thai food tended to be, I never stopped noticing it. Like sriracha compared to, well, any other bottled hot sauce.
