Apparently, satellite tracking had their "Y2K bug" moment, too.

I loved that game (the Atari ST port, never played it on Apple II).

I was telling someone that the reason why Paris doesn't have much in term of AC is because it's basically Montana, or even slightly north of that. I should have checked the predictions before speaking...

Truth. I'm happy that this thread let me discover this hidden gem. It's kind of the same premise as the old Arrogant Young Master Template A, Variation 4, but better (and way more regular)...

Wait for it...

And I do buy bluerays. When there's one.

And I would if someone sold it to me. But as seen, they don't sell those movies. They provide you with a license whose terms you did not negotiate, and that can be revoked at any time. So I can't buy the movie from a legitimate seller? I'll buy it from the black market instead. And that's what...

Welcome to the - Desperado - Club, Crawler!

Minor general spoiler alert: I dropped after book 7.

I love the "14668% funded". I also contributed to that number. I still haven't opened any of the first 9, I'm waiting for the full set to do a hardcover re-read...

Makes you feel like 007: https://store.hermanmiller.com/hmgx007?lang=en_US

I still remember when he launched the story on RR, then apologized because "I will probably switch from system to cultivation, because."

Quick analysis of the failed test by the usual bald Scottish KSP engineer:

And those scores means?...

Finally done. I can now say "Boop".

I'm mostly waiting for next week and DCC.

Still fighting depression/burnout (retirement, here I come), and I exhausted my Baen backlog. So, I picked an old series, Sean Oswald's Welcome to the Multiverse. Systems are basically merged god pantheons, and competing for resources and fighters for said competition. Earth gets put in a...

Projection rarely does.

Progression fantasy. "Modern" LitRPG authors (basically, 80% of those writing on RR for the last three years) tend to devolve from pure system-driven growth (XP) to a cultivation-like system, so there is a large blur between the two. Cradle doesn't have any LitRPG element. Defiance of the Fall...

They gain one core skill slot per level, two inner spirit slots per level, and four (?) outer spirit slots per level. So, at level 25, that's 150 or 175 total. My primary annoying bit is that they always blow raspberries at each other. All the time.

I assume you're reading the first books off Kindle Unlimited, since book 10 went up last month. What I like in the series is that each arc is well different (except when you stretch an interstellar war over 2 books, 10 & 11). Travelogues, politics (you may be OP, but politics >>> you), and...

I'd rather drink coffee. Preferably the best coffee, the one that went through the mangoose.

One of the history streamers I watch had this perfect take: "Remember: When an archeologist says an item may have a ritualistic nature, he really means that he has no fuckin' idea what it is."

Stop disseminating the recipe for Koign-Amann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouign-amann (also known as "butter with more butter and maybe some sugar and dough")

That's basically Deepak Choprah territory, or at best Roger "I am a big physicist, there a big biologist!" Penrose delirium. Your microtubules use Quantum Physics, therefore are weird. Guess what's weird due to Quantum Physics? Photosynthesis (and Solar Cells - which is what gave Einstein his...

Yes, Travis Deverell is an aussie. Anyone who starts their site with "Thanks, mate" can't be anything else.

I taught my dad how to keep his browsing secure from Mom.

But I can deceive all my coworkers just fine. Damn AI!

"Perihelion... 0.9 AU-just inside Venus's orbit" Considering Venus is orbiting at 0.72 AU, this shows how serous the article is. (also, the numbering doesn't quite make sense - the Zwiki catalog is typically date-three letter)

I should probably try this. I mean, all face apps stubbornly refuse to recognize my face, no matter what. iPhone FaceID? Nope. Bank app? Nope. Pornhub? Nope, "we can't recognize a face". (and I have no idea what triggers all of those)

Ackshually, there is a book with two levels. It's just that the second level is the shortest in the entire history of the Dungeon.

You mean The Princess Posse, not Carl...

So, you got a translation of my copy of Solaris? (translated in 1966 by Jean-Michel Jasienko) (tried to join a pic of the book - I still have - but my fuckin' iphone shows normal pictures, but sends blurred ones) *EDIT* Found a pic of the book spine:

Welcome to the club. Even my friend who never read any LitRPG bought everything after stumbling by pure chance on book 1.

The proposition does not require you to provide an offline mode. It requires you to release, upon ending the service, the appropriate code and documentation to allow people to run their own servers for the game.

MHI is Urban Fantasy, but Urban Fantasy made by a guy who likes guns rather than Urban Fantasy made by a single woman with furry fetishes (shapeshifter harem, here they come) or a yearning for her lost edgy teenage years (that's when you get the magical academy substyle of Urban Fantasy).

I signed this very early.

Well, all the pork that stays on the Big Bloated Bill has to come from somewhere.
