    The pork is rancid

    And it's a good 4 days before the date shown

    I'm bagging up what I cut up, the whole other loin, and I just washed the bag it came in and bagged it up too just so they can see the date

    Taking this back, holy hell it smelled awful

    People who don't like PvP in player driven space games are weird!

    I'm not really a fan of forced PVP period. Primarily because people are fucking assholes.

    That said I think some people are overreacting to Star Citizens PVP

    especially since Star Citizens PVP is not a thing that actually exists yet

    But I like it when people are assholes. It creates conflicts that must be overcome.

    I seem to recall them mentioning something about a bounty system in passing and I'm kind of hoping it allows me to exclusively collect on bounties placed on the heads of griefers/gankers.

    The idea of running down and obliterating a small group of assholes with an unfairly large group of people who don't like assholes is appealing.

    I hope that rumor isn't true because, if it was, it would show a shocking naiveté and poor judgment on the part of the game designer. Griefers are not motivated by in-game rewards nor are they deterred by in game penalties.

    Having a bounty placed on them would be a bonus validating whatever shitty behavior caused someone to place the bounty.

    Their currency is causing unhappiness in other players by any means the game mechanics can be exploited to allow. Coming after their in-game assets not only does not impact their payoff (people are still made miserable by their bullshit) but in fact enhances it since they have confirmation their asshatery is working.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    The best thing to do in EvE is bombing. It's almost entirely prep work so you can just chill out cloaked chatting on comms most of the time. Then you either get to laugh as you watch main fleet get slaughtered, or swoop in and get 30 odd kills in an instant then fly off into the sunset smug as fuck.

    I actually don't know if skills figure into Star Citizen. I haven't heard anything. If money is the only thing keeping someone from flying a well fitted ship then I am gonna be so happy. Good corporations in EVE were basically able to supply ships to its members at little to no cost. But not everyone could fly them because of skills. In Star Citizen maybe this will help to even things up.

    So far there is no Skill System in Star Citizen at all that I'm aware of

    I wanna say I remember Chris Roberts saying that one of the nice things about it was that there was going to be no Skill System and I want to say he specifically cited EVEs system as an example of what he does not want to do

    God I hate the skill system in EVE.

    if we can give good ships to cute newbees that will be the best.

    Alexander was stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times, shot in the forehead and had slit his throat from ear to ear, leaving the motivational speaker and businessman nearly decapitated. His decomposing body was found in his shower about five days later by friends.

    Florida has a class size amendment. My school board has a multi dozen million dollar hole in its budget. In addition to firing a bunch of people who are basically integral to the success of students in the 21st century they're going to just ignore the class size amendment and pay a fine.

    I find it weird that the show is so readily renewed now that Dan Harmon is not there. When he was there, it was always a nail biting event!

    Now that Community's humor feels kind of forced, NBC is all "YEAH, RENEW!" What the FUCK, NBC?!

    I'm pretty sure it's mostly getting renewed because they have nothing else in the pipe to take it's place. I think the only somewhat new scripted show they have doing ok is revolution, which seems weird because I don't know anyone who watches or cares about it.

    You can do that in EvE.

    It's just that most newbies don't realise how good they are.

    FORT WORTH, TX—Credible sources within your office reported Monday that the guy on the third floor with two computer screens on his desk is not fucking around. "Amazing—he comes in here, sits down next to me and my one sorry-ass screen, turns on his two screens, and starts tearing it up," marketing assistant Todd Piotrowski said as the guy dragged a window from one screen to the other, which sources confirmed was like watching fucking Minority Report or something. "He's got three, maybe four programs open on each screen, plus some sort of group video chat running nonstop—he's going balls to the wall over there. How is he doing all this with only one keyboard?" Piotrowski also speculated that if there’s a limit to how many tabs you can have open in your web browser at once, this guy's gonna hit it.

    my friend had this in his cube before he left the company

    facilities told him to take it down cuz it had the F WORD! but he ignored them and now we keep it in my buddy's cube for remembering.

    yeah, I just use wall mounts, way cheaper than rigs like that and they look okay with mismatched monitors. Sadly I haven't re-set them up since moving so I'm just using two monitors at the moment.
