Welcome! We can't keep the power on and our internet sucks but at least our elections work.

We started over in the old world. So much more variety and places to go. Fun so far!

Vei managed to get her character model imported

"Get me an angle Chloe!", said Jack, as he watched the building from the shadows across the road. "Got it! Sending to your PDA!", replied Chloe with a snort-giggle. Jack crossed the road watching the PDA to squeeze in between camera coverage. Reaching a...

What about mushrooms?

Sub gifters are busy! I keep getting sub gifts and I barely watch any twitch these days.

Nyanners is searching for bigfoot

All those years he spent describing everything and everyone in painful levels of detail and they just TLDR do whatever :emoji_laughing:

Light Chaser Partly written by ... Hamilton I think? The main author I didn't know. The main character lives the way I want to live; Cruising between the stars in her own ship doing whatever and living forever. Book is a bit short, but love the setting.

I have no idea what tap strafing is https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srqb3c

So I think the transfer thing is some funcom server that holds your character? Probably would break if you had any mods running. The old house got completely trashed in a surge raid thing. It happened at around 2am when one guy was online (and afk) so no defense. I had a wheel set up near...

Guras 30, and awesome. Covering sabaton is a sure sign of age :D

I kinda like the rev space idea of stacking ice a few miles thick on the front shaped like a needle. Maybe if you found a big ass lead rich asteroid you could dope the ice with lead. Maybe some kind of way to crystalize it with lead embedded the way they do for silicon ingots with germanium...

Also don't forget that path lengths contract at high tau, so you can make a 1000 light year journey in less than 1000 years shiptime. It also makes big distances not take much more time than fairly close distances as long as you can continue accelerating to the halfway point. Alot of very big...

That would be really large for me. I like < 20

Something they changed last week caused all my mods to break so I had to fix them all and test and such. Got me in the mood to play again so got with a friend that can run a server and off we went! Game is in a good spot now. We used to have 20+ mods just to make it playable. I think we...

What is Astra?

All the energy requirement figures are from the point of view of an outside observer. Shipside there's no magical increase in acceleration cost. Path lengths contract and time dilates but it doesn't really make any difference shipside. A few miles of ice on the front of a long slender ship is...

They are doable with a few big breakthroughs: Need electricity based non propellant propulsion. Several are in the works but who knows if they are actually real. Fusion. 20 more years? 😆 The aforementioned space infrastructure. Need mining / smelting / welding in space. A way to do cooling...

Going to be very orange! Is that Assen where the motoGP bikes go?

That makes me guess they've got some propellentless propulsion in the works. I've always thought scifi books gloss over the details of huge ships. I could see even small tidal forces creating wobbly oscillations in all but he highest of orbits. Like a shipquake.

My friend that wrote the "What Remains" books recommended "Senlin Ascends", the first in a 4 parter about the old Tower of Babel. It is really flowery tasty reading. I devoured the first 3, but 4 isn't out for another couple months.

I did notice in the last few matches of this months tournament (the countdown cup) they referred to him as just Cowboy a few times. That's going to be a hard habit to break. I'll bet at least one or two casters will call him McCree without thinking.

There's alot of voice lines to redo, or just cut

I didn't watch the Gamescom stuff but a friend linked me this. I suspect vast quantities of mind altering substances inspired this:

That's the best fan fiction I've read in awhile.

Gura's already getting into organ harvesting

I have a powerful urge to do the "Rain in spain lies mainly in the Dain must be slain" thing

Transmeta had 2 huge fridges full of free tasty beverages.

Hah no not in a row. It was a month here a month there. We'd get a big contract and they would catch us up a bit etc. Small places are unstable and get jerked around alot.

I doubt anyone bothered to file for anything. Every small game company I ever worked for missed paychecks. My last place owed me a year's salary.

Fascinating stuff about superold artifacts and scientists being jerks

Do those use the basic heat exchange electricity generation that a RTG uses? Or do they turn steam turbines or what?

Well in gamey terms it was more for planets with thinner crusts. It is an engineering challenge. Need better heat resistant materials etc. And someone that just wants to do it to say they did. It would probably never pay off financially.

It is something I've looked into, mainly for gamey reasons. There have been several attempts at digging super deep holes and none of them went well. Getting industry into space is probably easier. The gamey reason I looked into it is because I loved Starwars Galaxies mining. They never...

That is gold thank you. I had another bad accident with the taming stuff. When I mobilize for a big defense I normally swap them into armor and gather them up. This time I just left everyone armored for the duration, but I'll still see if they are in the middle of eating or if they badly need...

We will eventually be forced to expand into space or find some way to mine the mantle. I've been designing a survival style game with more realistic details on crafting and as said above there's a huge chain of dependencies. Alot of processing uses big electrically charged tanks to separate...
