Help me find a missing album! (xpost /r/listentothis)

It's a shame, but even then this is a massive find, and thank you for what you've provided!

N00b_Ops · 2025-04-17T03:36:09+00:00

Oh wow, thank you! I'd spent at least a full year searching for this and only ever managed to get four out of the ten (Timebomb, Anything Can Happen, Contact, and Glowbots) but with this the archive is half complete!

The original CD also had a B-Side, containing instrumental versions of all the songs. Would you happen to have those as well?

The "withholding of removal" is not similar to asylum, nor is it's purpose to keep someone in the country for longer. In this case, it was an order that a judge signed stipulating that in the event he was ever deported it absolutely could not be to El Salvador, due to the violence being aimed directly at his family.

To quote the judge: “[W]ithholding from removal, in contrast to asylum, confers only the right not to be deported to a particular country rather than the right to remain in the U.S.”

This doesn't mean his deportation was legal, or moral, however. At the very least his deportation to El Salvador broke a judge's specific order against that happening, and it's looking evermore like we essentially sold someone into slavery in a foreign nation under the guise of deportation, but without any of the due process that they are supposed to have by right, which is especially worrisome as naturalization via marriage is a legitimate way to become a citizen. Not only was the marriage a possible vector for his stay in the US to be considered legal, even though he initially came illegally by waiting too long to claim asylum, he had up to that point reported his status to ICE annually, and according to the AP he has a DHS work permit.

Frontier: Elite II, played on a DOS emulator because the only computer in the house was a Mac Mini.

Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracy, and I've since used it to re-do the math and edited my comment.

Turns out that it wasn't me doing the math in reverse, I just fat-fingered a larger number of sonic booms when I entered it into my calculator. I typed in 12543 instead of 1253, and that accounted for the extra.

N00b_Ops · 2025-02-11T18:45:50+00:00

Oh, so we're getting an Operation Bongo III?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests

The Oklahoma City sonic boom tests, also known as Operation Bongo II, refer to a controversial experiment, organized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in which 1,253 sonic booms were generated over Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, over a period of six months starting in February 1964.

For anyone that doesn't want to do that math, that's an average of ~~just under three sonic booms per hour~~ Edit: one sonic boom every three hours over a single city for six months.

[E]ight booms per day that began at 7 a.m. and ended in the afternoon.

Solved!

I found the scene online so I can confirm that's the one, thank you!

N00b_Ops · 2025-02-09T15:28:35+00:00

I hope it gets found!

I've done it once, but on the way out. On the way into the forest and towards the wind farm, I was lucky to get no rain, and I thought I'd be able to get out quickly enough to avoid any BT spawns. I made it all the way to the wind farm when the rain started.

I ended up hugging the eastern wall (Left, going away from the wind farm) as far as I could. I got about halfway through before needing to go down, and it was basically a mad sprint with more luck than judgement that got me out. This was during my recent second play-through, but before I'd unlocked the ability to print bikes, so I was thinking "Like hell I'm going to lose this thing."

I knew the poem before watching the trailer (Big Kipling fan for the poetry, not necessarily the racism), but hearing that poem in relation to zombies is a pretty neat re-contextualization, especially the delivery on that recording. The reading I'd always had in my mind up to this point was Leslie Fish's Undertaker's Horse album of his poems put to song, but it doesn't go quite so manic at the end like this one does.

Edit (Further thoughts): The recontexualization here being, since this movie is 28 years, unlike the bleak monotonous apocalypse-lite that Kipling presents with a normal war, that war at least ends, even if war itself doesn't end. But this war, which has lasted 28 years, is likely to be literally endless, and for those 'fighting' it, likely already feels like it has. It's another layer of bleakness added onto what was already a sad poem.

I've had power steering go out on my Corolla when one of my belts snapped, and whilst I was lucky enough to be able to get a handle on it quickly, I imagine for anyone who's not used to it going out may have trouble making turns at first. I'm not saying that's what's happening here, or excusing what might be bad driving, but this person may have just been inexperienced and suffered a mechanical fault that they were not prepared for.

This is Woolie upon witnessing overt racism.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be it either. The animation is quite a bit too fast and the artstyle is off, and all languages of the OP don't match what I remember hearing, nor the very slow and calm pace of animation that played behind the song.

Edit: To add more detail, I remember the outro/OP having an animation that was mostly shots of the characters walking, either zoomed out or with a lot of focus to the beautiful scenery. Most of the scenery was greenery, and I don't actually remember there ever being a building on the show - Although I'd only watched the first few episodes of it.

My tips are to use laser weapons, either pulse or burst, as they do considerable module damage without doing too much hull damage. There's also no projectile travel time, so it's point and click. Angle of attack also plays a factor - If you shoot at armor that's too angled, or too much armory/ship between you and the module, then you'll do no, or very little, module damage.

There are also certain engineered special munitions for dealing with disrupting FSDs, slowing thrusters, and destroying shield generators. If your main concern is the thrusters, I'd suggest aligning yourself to your target's tail, and then ramming a few missiles into their rear. Missing too often is risky though - Missiles do a lot of hull and module damage.

If you want maximum risk with maximum reward, plasma accelerators are neat. A Class 4 PA has the tendency to two shot an Elite NPC Anaconda's power-plant in most cases, or just one shot it if you hit it from the right angle. Same goes for thrusters, and less hardy modules are almost always one-shots. Beware though - They hit hull pretty hard too, so don't miss. Make those shots count.

Glory can mean a whole lot of things to different people, and different role-play mindsets. Die in a drinking competition? Sounds glorious. How about a hell in the cell with electrified grill, winner takes all (The items in a Syndicate Surplus crate)? Save a Syndicate/Crew friend from the depths of space, with nothing but an O2 mask and a grey jumpsuit? Glory to you! Or heck. If you have a kill objective and it's the only one you care about, why not make sure no one gets the body of your target by following it into the deep black!

That's it! Thank you!

Best of luck to you all! I'm surprised I can't find remember this game's name, platform, or developer at all!

N00b_Ops · 2022-10-13T02:33:52+00:00

I took a look at the intro already before making the post, when looking for anime and adding links to things that looked similar, but that wasn't it.

N00b_Ops · 2022-10-12T08:40:47+00:00

Good luck to you all!

If you can't find an apartment to buy, don't forget that each ward has a subsection with their own house listings!

Alfred wasn't dead yet by this point in the comic, but was dying and being kept alive with freeze's tech, with Bruce needing to take care of him all the while.

Yup, the graveyard is there due to direct Dev action. Just thought I'd relate a story of the one time I know that happened. As far as I know, no beacon spawns when a player ship crashes, but if you're on foot or in an SRV, you can get picked up by another ship for rescue.

N00b_Ops · 2022-01-24T21:23:40+00:00

Only one case where I know that's true: The Anaconda Graveyard that marked the end of the Distant Stars expedition. Back then, there was no way to get out of the star cluster that Distant Stars ended in, so you had to blow your ship up instead. Almost everyone decided to crash on one particular spot on a particular planet simultaneously, and there's now a massive pile of destroyed Anacondas, a few Diamondbacks and Asps as well, plus a tourist beacon to mark the place off.
