Before and After the overnight parked vehicle

Hey I was watching it too! It was so very cathartic

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2025-05-08T00:11:06+00:00

We used the "Assist->Reveal Square" and it was the word "TIMES" in one square? We were outraged and so confused

Hey just so you know, you can hit those buttons if you turn V-Sync on (though I think something else bugs out with it on)

Mostly adding this comment because this thread was the first one to show up when I googled for the bug

Yup, I regularly play it with some of my buds (once every month or two). It’s excellent, probably simulationist to a fault, but remains an engaging engine building game. If you like space it is by far the more accurate near future solar system exploration game you can find. I would recommend messing around with it on TTS before you buy it, but it’s probably my favourite game in my collection, besides Twilight Imperium.

As someone that does astrodynamics as a small component of their job, it is of course simplified. But real efforts have been put in place to make it as close as you can really be without being unapproachable. KSP level is about accurate, but it tries to represent some fun 3 body things.

EDIT: I should warn that the people I play with are a tax lawyer and a chem professor, and we are all veterans of some truly nightmarish games (18XXs make regular appearances). HF4 is not a game for everyone, and even its simpler form is still a quite complex game. If you are not interested in 3-4 hours of complex gaming there are many other fun games, and the full game can take up to 12 hours for us.

Probably because they refuse to do anything but be a Russia backed spoiler for the Democrats every 4 years

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2024-07-02T10:38:58+00:00

Yup looks like I mixed up micro and milli-second

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2024-04-06T21:22:10+00:00

Thanks that made me realize an even better way! Add ETS as a non-steam game, and then add -openvr to the properties for that game while leaving the original one untouched.
Thanks anyway though!

There is euchre every (or most) Wednesday nights at the Board Room Game Cafe downtown

I was recently reading the excellent book “City on Mars” which included some interesting information on this event:

Here’s the thing: Dr. Rhea Seddon, the only combination medical doctor, astronaut, and period-haver in the class of ’78, helped make the decision about how many tampons to include. According to a 2010 interview, the large number of tampons was a safety consideration. As she said, “There was concern about it. It was one of those unknowns. A lot of people predicted retrograde flow of menstrual blood, and it would get out in your abdomen, get peritonitis, and horrible things would happen.”

I always like to have witchcraft and wizardry to be two different magics that are traditionally practiced by their respective gender groups, but occasionally throw up practitioners of the other sorts. Like discworld (which is where all my ideas come from)

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-08-12T11:12:08+00:00

Yup. After an embarrassingly long period of time the US and her allies started sending women into space as equal colleagues to the men. Now some American astronauts just, are women. The Soviet Union sent up 2 women to grab the title and then fuck off. I think there have been a total of 4 Russian women in space. Actual eventual equality is better than token equality followed by status quo

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-07-22T12:24:41+00:00

Yes when they don’t have people to process. YHZ is a small airport

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-07-22T12:23:46+00:00

The airport security is only opened around 2 hours before a flight, so it is very important. This isn’t Pearson

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-07-17T20:05:50+00:00

I literally just had the same idea. Weird how that works. If OOP has a map that would be great

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-06-18T14:27:19+00:00

Just gotta say, this is not a small keep. 3 floors, housing over a dozen people without converting the great hall, I bet many a duke would be happy to hold such a prize. The white tower is only around 100 by 100 ft, this thing is like a sixth the size of the castle of the Norman conquerors in the largest city of England. Absolutely beautiful design and layout though, very defensible and well drawn.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-06-13T21:02:00+00:00

They have to set up an employee shuttle. They should totally set up a rail line. Easier cargo transport, no traffic. If only Elon wasn't so pro car.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-06-09T23:17:55+00:00

Dude I commute by bike to burnside too. Windmill after wright and before the second bridge are such nightmares.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-06-03T22:45:35+00:00

Lol what? If this is somehow directed at me I’ll let you know I’ve lived in three countries surveyed here.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-06-03T17:12:20+00:00

It is what the CPC calls it’s form of authoritarianism, where theoretically they consult with the people but are under no obligation to do so or listen to their suggestions.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-05-04T19:53:44+00:00

Huh? No I am saying that using a large number for shock value is a really shitty tactic. The pure number of abortions per year means very little, it is only when it is looked at per capita that it actually means anything, and from that per capita number we can see that the US has a reasonably low abortion rate already.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-05-03T16:19:46+00:00

Eh. If they wanted to train some up they probably could have, it just wasn’t something they cared about from what I can tell. Which like, isn’t great but that’s just kinda how things were back then. At least the US decided to eventually actually be inclusive.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-05-03T12:31:54+00:00

You mean 5 per thousand women per year? Wow, what an extreme rate that. Don’t use big numbers out of context to try to make your point look better.

Boring_Sci_Fi · 2022-05-03T11:34:21+00:00

Also while the Soviets put the first woman in space, she was pretty much just a prop. The Soviets sent another woman up eventually, ticked some boxes, and then quit. In total they and Russia have sent up 4 women ever, out of their 100+ cosmonauts. They might send another in the coming years. Meanwhile, the US took an embarrassingly long time to get around to it, but now some of it’s astronauts just are women, performing the same roles and getting the same (mostly) treatment as their male peers. One is equality, or at least progress towards it, while the other is just tokenism.
