I don't think pizza has health value in any form. :)

It's bread and other ingredients. It can be perfectly reasonable if you either split it between people or make a personal thing of say 4-6 oz of dough. What gets people in trouble quickly with pizza is how easy it is to overeat. You shouldn't eat 8+ oz of dough for one meal, just like you shouldn't eat half a loaf of bread for a sandwich.

Catching up. I'd like to congratulate CIG on finally releasing an arena shooter that requires restarting the executable between matches in a FPS engine. And making it available to 10$ month subscribers first.

Yes. Pgabz has a long tradition of falsehoods.. Example. Remember when Pgabz told us Star Citizen's develop would take about 2 years in 2012. He told us it would get stale if it went longer than 3 years, but here we are.

You should stop being such an angry liar Pgabz. Also, you should stop selling ships.

Their site is confusing as gently caress. The page where you buy ingame weapon mounts and weapons is all in UEC. The only way to get UEC is to go up to store and choose "Game Credits" where you can buy packs of them. All packs are in 1,000 = 1$ for me.

Enjoy your 8$ weapon mounts and 70$ missiles. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/voyager-direct/weapons

Not sure why. This is the most openly developed game in history. Which is why we needed to find this out from an non-engine team employee on a subforum for a competitors product.

Basically, what I'm saying is that no one will care except people who are already critical of CIG.

I read your blog, and it wasn't as clear as it should've been. In your blog you stated something about Ben Parry backdating the engine switch, but his claims didn't become clear to me until I actually read his posts of the Frontier forums.

That dumb mspaint of branches was nowhere near as clear as his posts. That mspaint thing only baffled me.

Well, from the standpoint of clear arguements, ya he'd want to do that. But I got some respect for Dsmart for creating that baffling MSpaint thing. It's great low effort trolling which I appreciate more than blogs.

That elevator looked pretty trashy, too, and was out of certification. I guess that's how much money you make working for CIG, while still having another job. Santa Monica isn't cheap, though, but still.

They could also have cut his hours. I mean, he's a media face for them right? So if they've decided to shift away from hours and hours of mindless streaming, then they probably cut him down to part-time.

From a business standpoint that doesn't give a poo poo about employees, it only makes sense.

And I gotta admit it's pretty cool, to a certain extent. Another positive point is that it's so generic sci-fi, that I can boast it's a limited Stellaris or Star Wars edition or something, thus hiding my shame for giving ger money in the first place.

Oh more pizza talk, always fun. What you posted looks like a disgusting New-England style Greek pizza (not that the pizza type is disgusting, just your image). I suppose you could call that deep dish, since it must be cooked in a deep pan. Deep dish pizzas tend to have more oil as well.

The original image is probably a Sicilian, which is primarily identified by it's rectangular shape. Though it's the oil used and oil quantity that are more important for differentiating the taste.
