Bacon is a stupid man's flavor additive. There are plenty of better, tastier, cheaper substitutes.

You. Off my planet. Now.

That's like saying a car is not a substitute for a truck (because despite both being vehicles you can't cart a piano around in a car) any more than a bicycle is not a substitute for a fighter jet (because despite both being conveyances you can't fire missiles from a bicycle). Other than being condiments, mustard and ketchup are completely different beasts, but miracle whip was created specifically as a cheaper alternative to mayonnaise and made using the same key ingredients as mayonnaise, just in different amounts. In particular, the only reason miracle whip wasn't labeled as a type of mayonnaise is because it doesn't meet a minimum vegetable oil content required for labeling purposes.

Sure, they're 'different', but in the way that two very similar but not identical things are 'different'. That is not even remotely the way ketchup and mustard are 'different'.

Now you're just comparing apples and oranges.

Let's get something straight. Mayo is good. Miracle Whip is good. Miracle Whip is not a substitute for mayo any more than ketchup (whis is good) is a substitute for mustard (which is also good). They are different condiments.

This is a fairly simple concept to grasp... yet so many fail.

I will say miracle whip is terrible for old fashioned tuna fish sammiches though. Then again when it comes to Mayo it needs to be Hellmans or not at all. Best Foods I think it is on the west coast.

Then to drop this on folks: The amazing moistness to Chocolate 'mayonnaise' cake.

@thebird SyFy went back to it's roots.

The new season of Defiance is great, a much more indepth look at Nolan's past with irisa.

Killjoys is completely enjoyable and addictive. Dark matter is certainly ramping up and getting more interesting every episode.

I'm looking forward to The Expanse, and Childhood's End later this year.

@WTFE Ewww 1000 year old egg or however old it's supposed to be?

The name (and only in English) is "century egg". In reality it's about 30 days old, give or take.

Yes I know. Doesn't make it any less gross.

@WTFE Ewww 1000 year old egg or however old it's supposed to be?

Knob Creek or Makers Mark with a Dunhill Diamantes cigar.

@Thenomain I'm going to have to go home and see if this re-occurs for me. I already had the game and an account from years ago. Curious to see if something changed.

Also, in theory, Theno your issue may be resolved on the steam forums already.

@Coin said:

Defiance needs a tighter script. Its budget is good for it, dammit.

I'd agree with that.

I still think this season is an improvement over the last. Even with the loss of some characters. Not sure how I felt about the last episode though.

I'm also out of the loop on how Defiance Players have influenced this years episodes.

@Coin said:

Dark Matter is very trope-y and kind of predictable, but nevertheless a good time. Killjoys is a little better, so far, and looks like it'll be fun.

Killjoys is a lot of old school Sci-Fi/Action fun I agree. Dark Matter has grown on me.

New Season of Defiance is making me so happy as well.

Space Colony, and Prison Architect. The former had a very good tutorial, but some of the mission play is kinda. Blah. Prison Architect, had an interesting introduction style tutorial, but a lot was left uncovered in terms of starting from scratch.

In fact, it'd probably be the most helpful if +where showed Location > # of People > List of Names plus Unfindables. i.e.

Joe's Bar --- 5 --- Joe, Bob, Phil, Unfindable (x2)

Or whatever. Then you'd just have the one command, and people could be unfindable, and tada everybody's happy. Right?

I'd accept this. Personally I hate the unfindable flag on PC bits. I do. It's basically dark for PC's. People set it and forget it, etc etc. But that's why the above works as a good compromise.

Unfindable on private rooms? Absolutely! Have it at, I really don't want to see Joe Bob's Cultist Lair of Raptor Worship. I'd rather find out about it ICly. Preferably armed and not tied up.

@Misadventure said:

Could someone explain why its necessary to know where or who other players are with, save to know where ones faction RP might be? Anything more directed at a specific character I would assume can be arranged via a quick page.

Simple. Meeting new people. Groups on a public grid spot should be, uh, spottable?

I could care less if names are displayed, but some folks want to avoid certain people, so I can sympathize.

+hangouts code isn't always complete as to whats public and not.

@TNP said:

STOP idling in public IC rooms people! I hate that.

I know, right? I love getting reamed out for posing in a public grid room for disturbing someone's idling.

This should be punishable with Raptors future invention allowing stabbing through the internet.

@Silver said:

You wanna know where I am, stop being a creeper and ask me!

So hey bebe, where are ya and whaddya wearin'?

Disclaimer: I haven't the foggiest who you are, and was going to go with a Minecraft creeper joke, but this is much more on topic.

@buttercup It is, it takes a little time. But bit by bit RP seems to be expanding.

@EmmahSue I'll have to spend more time lurking in the OOC room to catch you asking for RP then... but I know where you are coming from. Slowly but surely the activity is increasing!

I'd love the option to ride one of those big bikes they have kicking around. I'd murder if somehow... we got co-op play.

Regardless, I'm excited. I'm pretty sure the ship in the teaser is the USS Constitution in dry dock, so I want to explore its dark post-war secrets!

Besides, Steam is not going to be out-done by flippin' EA and the mandatory self-flaggelation service known as Origin.

I'll see your horrible Origin, and raise(lower?) you a uPlay.

Cats for sale, will likely be unable to feed them or myself after the steam sale.
