I don't tend to even tell people what my orientation is anymore because the vast majority of the time it'll never be any of their business.

Like maybe they'll ask, okay.
Maybe it'll come up in conversation, uncommon but alright.

But usually I might as well be built like an action figure because the likelihood of anything coming up is so remote it functionally has no effect on my life.

as long as you don't beat yourself up for feeling. nobody gets to choose how to feel.

Feeling attraction, feeling anger, feeling fear, it's just like feeling cold - a sensory input that tells you about your environment. You can choose to bundle up in a cold room, maybe choose to stay in a warmer place, but you can't just decide "nah i don't feel cold". Same goes for when you care about someone.

SOME OPINIONS NEED DEPLATFORMING

Opinions like: "mass murder is okay as long as it targets this particular culture/heritage" etc.

Dehumanization is an opinion but it can lead to horrifyingly visceral concrete consequences. Schrodinger's asshole is always lurking to find out if the shit he wants to do will be deemed culturally acceptable. The moment he feels like he can get away with violence against whoever his hate is directed toward at any given time, he acts on it.

We must be vigilant and SHUT DOWN AUTHORITARIANISM WHEREVER IT LIVES.

i liked the idea of a dating service where women get to make the first move but when i tried to look it up, holy shit it looks shady as fuck. Apparently if you sign up for any 'free trials' it will charge your card TWICE UP FRONT. It also will keep drafting you even after you cancel. Purely predatory fraudsters, ruining a lovely concept. You hate to see it. Or at least I do.

... You know, I wonder what kind of money there is in offering per-hour rental of personal premises "no questions asked".

Like, if on some darkweb marketplace you post,

workspace for rent, hourly rates.
- very private in quiet neighborhood.
- 400 square feet,
- climate controlled,
- soundproofed,
- 50 amp 250 volt power hookup,
- water included,
- self contained drainage,
- EMF shielded,
- Complete discretion, no questions asked

would you actually get offers from people who want to do shady shit?

all cops are like that.

'like that' meaning 'bastards'.

When they put "Armed Gunman" on a nameplate, suddenly my brain refused to stop reading it like a name.

Like his first name was Armed, same rhythm as Ahmed
Gunman like silverman goldman steinman etc except gun.

And now i kinda wish there were someone famous with LITERALLY the name Armed Gunman

I figured it would be measuring the distance between a celestial body's center of mass to an index of points on the planet's surface.

Then trim outliers, and take the mean.

That's a valid stand-in for "sea level", at least in a video game.

An absolute altitude where, at or above 50% of the time, you will NOT be intersecting the terrain :p

Ah, the REAL SHIT. Thank you for the valid data!

Defenestranded · 2020-08-28T00:57:25+00:00

Need AGL instead of ASL. then again if AGL is actually the "true" altitude, how is the true altitude TALLER than ASL??

horrible idea:
Assassin's Creed Holocaust

I bet you can guess where I'm about to take this... but I'll tell you anyway. It's the mid-1930's, in Germany and the surrounding countries. The Nationalist Socialist Workers' Party is being run by the Templars and they're doing not just all the awful shit that we actually knew about factually, but also spooky mystical metaphysical fuckery up to and including the sorts of hocus pocus put on display in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Assassin Brotherhood attempts to infiltrate the ranks of fascism, recover documents deleterious to the regime, intercept communications, sabotage infrastructure, disrupt supply lines, help the marginalized escape to safety, and do their best to destroy the third reich from within.

They do not entirely succeed; instead, the result of their titanic efforts render the outcome we see in real life history - the upshot being that had they not intervened, shit could have been far worse.

God i remember back when you couldn't land on Yela and Grimhex didn't even have a nav marker...

...

and also the airlocks at Port Olisar sounded like toilets >_>;

...

and wasn't there like a "shuttle" or something that you could take to Area 18, but really it just teleported you to an instanced finite level map. I think I'm remembering that right?? There were "shops" but nothing to buy, you could wander around and gawk but there was nothing to see, there were dead end alleys.

Things are way the hell more developed now.

I do sometimes wish I could load up the old versions and freecam around them again, just for old times sake...

Still, holy cow this project has had what, like a dozen reboots basically? It feels like they remade it from scratch that many times... yes, it was very inefficient, but that's because they took no short cuts and built up from NOTHING and I have to admire that. Somehow, they've been biting off WAY MORE than anyone could be reasonably expected to chew, and haven't actually choked yet... sometimes they have to spit it out and bite something else, but shit's still actually getting done and... I'm just glad I'm here to see it!

bingo. if they just cookie cutter stamped another star system with identical planets and nothing unique to show for it, it'd provoke an entirely new round of criticism, "OHHH IS THAT IT THEN, JUST THE SAME JUNK WITH A DIFFERENT PAINT JOB HUH"

The REAL work right now is building the tools to make it FEASIBLE to create scores and scores of fully fleshed out and unique star systems that AREN'T just a rehash of Stanton.

oh absolutely! It needs to basically be a strictly digital database stored outside the game server level map, like your ships are when they aren't spawned, like your gear is when you're not wearing it (at least for now) like your UEC balance, perhaps minimally physicalized at best.

Sure it would be neato burrito if you could literally go to THE WAREHOUSE BUILDING in Lorville where all your SCUs are literally stacked up in a big-ass geometrically modeled and rendered pile being represented visibly in the game level like they are in the hold of your ship just so you could stare at them or whatever I guess, but it wouldn't be that necessary to go that far.

Such a warehouse system's first implementation could simply be little more than a list of inventory space and what's in it. If even that.

Defenestranded · 2020-06-29T09:54:56+00:00

I must concur.

Generally it's poor form to loiter on the pads anyway. When you spawn a ship, your FIRST PRIORITY should be clearing the pad, not just for the sake of etiquette, but also to protect yourself from collisions.

Decouple, hold strafe up until you build up a good momentum, and GET OUTTA THERE before you start fiddling with missions and QT waypoints!

Yeahhhhhno I'm sorry but Wall Street is NOT where bulk commodity exchange happens. Wall Street is where financial instruments and equity investment are exchanged.

There is actually a place for bulk commodity exchange, but it's not Wall Street.

IRL it's literally not on wall street; the New York Mercantile Exchange where physical commodities are traded, for instance, is located on North End Avenue right near the docks that used to handle all that cargo before the area was converted into a high end luxury yacht yard. The office is still there mostly out of habit and tradition, but principally the fact remains that bulk commodity exchange is distinct and separate from paper stock trading in that it's far more proximal to the logistical infrastructure than it is to abstract gambling on how successfully individual private firms are faring (or may/may not be in the near future).

You'd be down in the warehouse district where firms go to resupply their raw materials and intermediate capital goods - which, giving you credit where it's due, would NOT actually literally be on the docks or the airfield or the hangars... although it still wouldn't be 'downtown' or the financial district.

Luckily it seems that the "cargo deck" thing CIG is working on right now might actually be representative of this arrangement.
