Just add whole milk.

What are your stats? 1500 Calories seems quite low, about what I would recommend for an average sized woman. Just Calorie restriction is generally unsustainable in any longish-term period of time for biochemical/neurological reasons. Just to comment a bit further, 400 Calories is not a...

Meh, I like the 8 Start Screen much better. It is basically a giant version of "Pin" part of the old one, which is really the only part I ever use anyway (still have 7 at work). I don't use any other part of it except the type to search. Anything I use with any frequency gets pinned to the...

Wow, no one anywhere, has to right to yell at a co-worker. That is deplorable, and for all of the poor working conditions I have been through no one has ever stooped to yelling or behavior as bad as you've described above. I very much wish I had known this before I gave them my money.

Is Red5 abusive to its employees? I did not know that, and if this is the case I regret my support for the game.

Heh, it is funny this is news. There is already a Start button, it just conveniently hides itself away when you don't need it, and is there when you do. That being said, I am looking forward to some of the actual improvements.

Aww, you guys listen to me! *sniffle* These days you'd be pretty foolish to make a brand spanking new engine of your own from stem to stern. There is just no way you can compete with an existing engine that has had 10s/100s of thousands, or hell maybe even millions for something like...

Just use more yogurt (or milk), full fat. Yogurt, like milk, is about 20% Casein and 80% whey.

That would be hard to do from Europe The game needs more content, there is little doubt of that. But the moment-to-moment gameplay is solid, and for once a PvE MMO had combat that didn't bore me to tears within 5 minutes.

The new player experience still isn't that great. It doesn't help that the game is quite different than most MMOs you sign up for. If you like shooters, PvE, and open world gameplay the game is worth sticking with. I recommend trying out different battleframes to see what you like and then...

Content treadmills suck. They are extremely expensive to make, require constant maintenance, and are consumed nearly instantaneously. The string of MMO corpses from here to WoW proves that it is a LOSING STRATEGY. Yes, there is not yet enough content, but if such a small amount of content can...

It's a shooter with jetpacks; projectiles, 3d collision, the whole 9. It is sort of like a PvE planetside in a zone I'd say is about the size of 2 Stranglethorns, although it is a bit hard to compare to be honest. The zone is semi-persistent, as in there are instances but the game will always...

The lack of content would definitely be a problem at release. What exists right is quite good and extremely fun. The tech is solid, I know of know other open world style shooter that plays as fluidly as Firefall. Luckily their content isn't of the linear, labor intensive, consumptive variety...

Wait, I thought it was Age of Conan?

In all fairness I was, somewhat uncharacteristically, agreeing with Grim.

For what it's worth, I think Betacake is what it purports to be. I don't think the marketing departments of most AAA games have nearly the foresight or cunning to pull a scam like that off. However, it is almost certainly infested with all kinds of shills whether they be from a paid PR...

I know absolutely nothing about Betacake. However, therearePR firms companies can hire that will spam the comments/forums of popular gaming sites (metacritic, massively, mmorpg.com, rockpapershotgun, theescapist, etc) with positive talking points about your game. I don't know many details...

The running and jumping animations are two of the few that are actually likely to get a few passes simply because everyone sees them all the time. Other than that, any overall changes or improvements to the animations won't come from the animations themselves but probably from the part of the...

The make them really big and scaling them down is more of a texture thing. You could theoretically do it for animations as well, but more commonly that kind of scaling is only used forLODingand up close you see the full animation. It works well because you literally can't see the small bones...

I just like being precise, it is a bad (good?) habit.

To clarify, the words "animation pass" aren't being used correctly in this thread. We have been using it to mean, "adjust, make better, or redo every animation in the game." Inthatcontext a project at TESO's life cycle would never get that as it is pre-production work to set baseline quality...

Full stem to stern pass by the mid-late point in a cycle? Never. Animation work is among the most expensive and time consuming on a project. There is alwayswaymore animation work to be done than the resources you have, so that time is controlled carefully. If something is especially...

Heh, that was only a 17 second clip after the logos, and all it showed were some animations. They really are hiding something.

The crux of it, really all that needs to be said. Ideas are nothing, farts in the wind. Good people will make even the worst idea into something amazing, and crappy people can sink even the unsinkable.

Fair enough, but don't quote me next time then, that is VERY confusing

Find me one word I've said about Wildstar, just one. I find that game yawn inducing as well. I haven't even glanced at the thread. You do realize this board is made up of different people, if one of those people says something that doesn't mean all the other people think the same way.

That is more or less how it read to me. You go to a spot, you do stuff in the spot, you move on to the next spot. The stuff you do is kill/collect/deliver, what you get are linear stat upgrades. Move on, rinse repeat, *yawn* been there done that. All there is to do is combat stuff, nothing...

Jeg er skeptisk. I can't conceive of a scenario where, at this stage in its development, 11GB of extremely precious art resources would be spent redoing already finished work. That just does not happen, especially considering how much they have left to do. Any graphical improvements you get...

The honest and frank discussion about games and MMOs in particular are why I like rerolled and started posting here. As fun as it is talking with you guys you don't have any control about what goes on in the industry, hell 90% of the developers working on a game have little to no control over...

I've honestly never heard of that, I guess I always just stuck it in the oven instead.

Boil chicken?

For long term health learning to cook is critical. The best advice I can give you is to use fresh ingredients and to dive in knowing you will royally fuck up sometimes. That is alright, just keep trying until you learn. One piece of specific advice I like to give is to buy whole chickens...

It has to do with the lipid profile of the meat (which affects taste as well). 100% grass-fed beef has a much more favorable ??3:??6 ratio than corn fed beef. It is really the ratio that counts, but the SAD is full of ??6 with very little to no ??3. This seems to be the major risk factor for...

*sigh* This line of talk is getting annoyingly stupid. All measurements, including body calipers, have a precision and accuracy associated with them. These are expressed different ways including usingmargin of errorandSignificant Figures. What you know is that your body fat has a 90% chance...

The idea of a late animation pass is a bit silly. Art, especially animations, are one of the most expensive and time consuming parts of an MMO and there is no way they have the time to go back and spend those precious resources on things that are done when there is surely more work left they...

I don't quite follow, what would you add back in to slow digestion and prevent overconsumption? The two types of fiber are different but they work together, you want to eat both kinds.

Sugar is far worse than any fat, but, like carbohydrates, some fats are good for you and others aren't. To make short list and REALLY skipping over a lot of the details, a ROUGH list of bad sources of fat and good sources of fat are: Bad: # Anything with synthetic trans fats. Really really...

Sorry, I missed your post. "When you say fruit juice, you're referring to Tropicana bullshit right? Cause I'm pretty sure homemade orange juice is absolutely fine. Or if you make a fruit smoothie, you're using whole, natural fruit - you're fine. Or am I wrong on this?" Any fruit juice...
