State of the Game

I'll be offended now if you don't, and please provide evidence on completion!

I'll have it done before the week is out.

That's the kind of dedication we need!

Well as I was in a Siberian Gulag for three months making Kumo burgers and unable to participate fully in this thread I have to do my best to make up for it where possible.

This may be a bit out of date now (Been away, so still have 65 pages to catch up on!), but we have two separate cuts of bacon here in the UK, made from both ends of the loin:
View attachment 260441
"Streaky" bacon is the part on the left of the "U" shape above (If you cut it in half directly at the bottom of that "U"), and is normally the cheaper cut, as it has a higher fat-to-meat ratio, where as "Back" bacon is the more expensive, higher meat-to-fat cut on the right.

This is what you would normally find in most supermarkets/grocery stores here in the UK. The only time you would find bacon at it's full "length" (as the picture above), would be from a proper butcher that cure their own bacon, and not buy it in from wholesalers( which unfortunately is what a lot of them do!)

As for "American" bacon, I'm guessing that it only comes in the "streaky" variety over there, as they'd rather save the meatier part for proper pork loins... (Pan fried with garlic, thyme and a bit of salt and pepper... mmmmmmm...)

sounds like an extremely slow turn around time for something that is a simple name change that takes a few seconds. are you an fdev employee?

1/it's rude
2/it's petty
3/it was uncalled for
3/this is not the place for it.

Seconded

A good size of the playerbase left already

If this thread wasn't here the forum would be a ghost town.

Yes I've been drafted to work on powerplay.

Step one is to remove powerplay.

ETA 6 years from now.

that's a bit optimistic for the forum. ETA should be "TBD"

i mean, the Doom Date alone, is probably closer to 1-2 years.

Ah yes isn't the doom date 2023?

I think another year is about right for ED if the player numbers stay as they are.

Indeed you were you naughty chap, yet I hope you observed from the sidelines.

Better get moving though, there are only a few years left until the ultimate demise of the game, dooooommmmmmmmmm!

Its come on a bit from there- I've changed the colours slightly on the highlights and now finalising the winglets. What I really need now is lots and lots of grey tiles again

the worst part of making a big lego model...is finding a place to put it.
...besides justifying the cost of the parts.
