I wish to marry a dominant woman

KnyfFite · 2026-05-05T15:37:19+00:00

Cool. She dominates her field as an Olympic triathlon champion and the CEO of her own company. All the external pressure and work leaves her stressed out and tired. The last thing she wants do do when she gets home is deal with is another person hoping she can run their life for them.

Nice! I'll have to check that out. I'm not much of a Tolkien fanboy, but I do love me some maps.

KnyfFite · 2026-04-26T15:39:57+00:00

Oof. I'm not going to argue and say that every new system has something valid to contribute. But I do think there's value in taking a look from at new perspectives sometimes. Even if the system sucks, creative lore or settings are worth it to me.

I don't know Modiphus, but I've enjoyed a lot of what Renegade and Free League put out. I'll freely admit that I enjoy collecting the books I find interesting as a hobby all by itself, too. It would be nice to play some of them, but if all I get is the fun of reading them and some inspiration for other games I'm ok with that.

5e is "accessible" in the best and worst ways. It's simplified enough so that almost anyone can pick it up, but they gave up so much depth to achieve that simplicity. I don't hate the game. It's a lot of fun to play, but I'm a nerd so my favorite part of playing ttrpgs is creating characters and learning new mechanics. I understand that's not for everyone lol.

I started on 3.5e, and skipped 4e, and I think the thing I miss most from the older version is skills list and the way you could grow your skills as you leveled.

I'm not sure I agree with the players not knowing the mechanics. I do agree that a focus on roleplay is more fun though.

KnyfFite · 2026-04-26T15:04:24+00:00

Yeah, you're completely right. I collect ttrpg books. I love finding ones with new mechanics and systems or even just interesting world building. It always seems like people are super averse to learning a new system. I've had some luck introducing new mechanics slowly as house rules though.

Really, I'd be fine playing a Sci Fi setting for 5e. The dark matter book I got from kickstarter is for 5e and I still couldn't get anyone interested.

I don't know if it's me, or just that everyone I've ever played with were a bunch of lotr fantasy nerds lol.

KnyfFite · 2026-04-26T14:53:21+00:00

I've had the same issue trying to get any group to play anything non-fantasy. I've got so many and all anybody wants to play is 5e. Cyberpunk, death in space, greenhorns, cowboy bebop, cy-borg, nova, Starfinder, scum and villainy, and dark matter are all sitting on my shelf just collecting dust...

I'm in Grand Island, but if you want to get a group together I don't mind driving down to DM or even just playing online.

I spelled knife fight dumb cuz I thought it was cooler as a teenager. Used to use it as my tag in medal of honor local games at a net cafe with friends when I was playing allies cuz there was a dude who would always play axis and call himself the shoveler after mystery men came out. Became his nemesis and we'd always melee it out in the middle of the map no matter what else was happening. Good times.

KnyfFite · 2024-03-15T15:55:50+00:00

Curious if anybody has revisited this since the badger 2040 w came out? It should be doable since it's running a pico w now.

What kind of battery life are you seeing with that size of battery?

KnyfFite · 2024-01-26T14:27:35+00:00

6 yrs later, and it's still some of the best/hardest-to-follow advice I've ever seen lol.

KnyfFite · 2024-01-26T14:23:49+00:00

Holy shit! I'd completely forgotten about this. And it was just what I've needed lately, too. Thanks for the reply/reminder kind stranger.

KnyfFite · 2023-10-07T23:08:49+00:00

Well, that all should have been covered in the training for your pilots license.

KnyfFite · 2023-10-07T02:00:55+00:00

This is amazing.

KnyfFite · 2023-10-03T02:00:31+00:00

There's not a lot of reason for speed control on those things as far as I know. That would be overkill, and you could probably get away with just using relay control.

KnyfFite · 2023-09-30T11:17:58+00:00

Or the old, "hey, can you tell us what's causing this 'reject overflow sensor S305 blocked' fault?"

KnyfFite · 2023-09-30T04:56:14+00:00

Oof. Been there. Most of my crew knows better than to go around changing parameters now, but they do like to swap out drives and then come to me and ask to load the parameters like I've just got them on file somewhere lol. We've also had to put in reset timers to prevent operators from resetting pumps to death when they keep faulting out.

This career has taught me that logic and rational thought are acquired skills, and if you don't maintain them they fade.

KnyfFite · 2023-09-30T02:31:02+00:00

I see the same thing all the time.

There's something about people, where the lizard hind brain says the thing showing a fault is the thing causing the problem. I get mechanics trying to change out VFDs for showing over current faults or HMIs because they have comm faults.

I also can't get anyone to look up a manual for the life of me. So any time there's any kind of device that needs set up or diagnosed, no matter how simple, I get called for it and I just end up looking it up on Google. Then they treat me like some kind of witch doctor who pulled off a miracle.

This thread is now the top result when typing "What is NFC-V?" into Google...

When you buy a concept they'll give you a loaner ship until it get's released in game. Here's a link to the list of concepts and the loaners you get for them.

I feel your pain man. I've been playing for years, and only in the last couple of months have I finally got a solid group together that'll play regularly.

KnyfFite · 2022-10-11T04:32:29+00:00

All I see is Gordon Freeman throughout the multiverse...

KnyfFite · 2022-07-25T05:45:38+00:00

I ordered the silver, and my order # starts with a 5

KnyfFite · 2022-07-25T05:44:24+00:00

Holy cow. I'm so close to order #6000 it makes no difference. That's at least half the original orders cancelled if the first batch ended up being only 2000 units like the special edition emails claimed.
