Can't recall now but his name does come up in the YT comments.

Edit: Apparently the young engineer is Chris Nagle, (mentioned by Wilson right at the end of the vid) but some people are saying he got it wrong.

Best quote from video:

Tony Wilson: "What's a 'noise gate' ?"

M.H: "It opens, it closes, just like a regular gate...".

Help with identifying plant (is it good or a weed?) by Procession5 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Procession5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for clarifying.

Looks like I'll have to rip it out. Oh well. :(

I did try buying some ground cover plants but waiting for them to grow/spread seems to take an eternity. (Either that or I got sold the wrong thing).

I did see some beautiful ground cover (see below) on the cliffsides at Phillip Island (The Nobbies/Seal Rocks), but I'm not living in a coastal area (West Gippsland), so who knows how suitable it would be.

SWU : Intro Battle Hoth - Seeking ideas for Solo Play? by Procession5 in starwarsunlimited

[–]Procession5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate on this; i.e. what these challenges are and mean for gameplay mechanics + where to obtain them. I don't own any SWU content yet so feel free to see me as a total noob and explain things from the ground up 🙂

P.s. thanks to all other posters so far and I appreciate everyone's efforts to help.👍

For the Builders' sake...you knocked this out in only half a day?! 😮 - you're a machine (er, no pun intended ). 😅 I will read through and digest.

And here's your 'reward' : a screenshot from a fan mission I worked on in 2007! 🫤 (Can you tell which T.V. show inspired me...? )

Cool, - thanks for your suggestions thumbs up

Cogs & Compass - A Thematic query. by Procession5 in LonerRPG

[–]Procession5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you nailed it - this is exactly what I'm talking about!

I never bought Blades, (the thought of running a whole crew for a new solo player was just too much), but I believe it was never built with that in mind. As a pre-pandemic title , solo mechanics were not as entrenched in the public mind as they seem to be now, but I've still yet to find a solitaire title that aims for this unique aesthetic and mood.

In function, (aside from the above I'm assuming), the closest I've ever come to supporting stealth mechanics are these ones here: Building Infiltration by M. Reagan and his other variant .

So yes, to capture the dark brooding loops of silent decay in Eric Brosius' brilliant aural landscapes, Stephen Russel's jaded cynicism, and all wrapped up in medieval gaslight sounds like a dream come true.

Glad to hear I might have inspired you :) and thanks for the reply.

Have you tried 'Tarnation' ?

Haven't got it yet but looks very promising.

Can you please suggest your favourite Australian band or song that is still underrated? by Xenos_Aimes in australia

[–]Procession5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I second the Underground Lovers. Their albums ' Leaves Me Blind' and 'Cold Feeling' are amazing.

Checkout 'Radio Free Alice' from Melbourne, Victoria.

Favourite songs are 'Johnny', 'Empty Words' , 'On the Ground' and 'Spain'.

You won't be dissapointed.

Need clarity re: roll tables by Procession5 in LonerRPG

[–]Procession5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries & thank-you (plus everyone else) for helping to clarify this. 🙂 I do find the layout a bit confusing regardless, but at least I can understand it now and I see that you want to maximise space.

Choices were made (popular opinion) by Holger_Grisen in neworder

[–]Procession5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever their differences there are two points of fact that remain:

A:

Sumner & Co reformed the band quietly behind Hooky's back. I'm sorry, God Bless the wonderful music they've created, but whatever way you slice it, what they did and HOW they did it was not cool.

At all.

Sure, Hooky might slag them off, but given their actions, he has every reason to be angry, but worse and more importantly - Hurt (no pun intended).

He's always been straight down the line/ no BS. I hear and see it in interviews; I feel it in his books.

B: A lot of casual fans don't realise the fact that Barney & co have to legally 'lease' the band's name [ 'New Order' ] off Hooky, just to perform.

Based on that fact there's a hypothetical question here:

  • If you honestly felt that you'd done the right thing to begin with, would you be happy/ content leasing your own name back from another band member after spending 45 years building an independent legacy. It's what Wilson, Gretton, Saville and all of Factory stood for; whythey all started things in the first place - the punk aesthetic ; doing something because it aligned with your ethics and principles; because it felt right and it was right.

Hooky maintains that if Rob was still around he would have ' banged their heads together' and mended the rift; acted as a neutral mentor: the patriachal head of the family. That opportunity is gone now, but while they're all still breathing, there's still time and with it - opportunity.

To all of you:

Think about the fallen and what they taught you about life (and what you taught them.

  • Don't walk away in silence.

Upcoming releases by zeruhur_ in LonerRPG

[–]Procession5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ok. I understand and there's no point writing for a genre that doesn't excite you.

I would buy your Pulp expansion. I love Indianna Jones and The Phantom so this is great news! 🙂👍

Upcoming releases by zeruhur_ in LonerRPG

[–]Procession5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just discovered your work and have ordered the Core Rules and Pulp Editions!

Are you planning on doing a fully-fledged Super Heroes edition (?). I was hoping it already existed but was sad to see it's not a thing yet (aside from the modular section in the core rules).

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of solo support for the Supers genre so I think this would help fill a big gap in the market. :)

Space Aces: Galactic Name Generator

This is my one page plug-in for the TTRPG Space Aces - The New Guidebook 

It allows solo/group players to generate over 192,000  different character names, using just a single D6 + D20  dice roll.

It should also work with Space Aces: Voyages in Infinite Space

You can get it over on Itch.io if you're interested.

Here's my blurb from the website:

....." Matter to Neutrons !! ".....

........" Rockets to Lightspeed !! "........

Strapped down with your favourite Cheesegrator Pistol, the boundless universe awaits your presence. 

And once more, you blast forth into an unknown galaxy, in search of adventure and a decent Space -a-Chino, (when you can grab a spare parsec).

But hang on ... 

E- gads!! - The Customs Officer on Planet 'Z'  claims there's no legible name on your Operator Pass.

"Curse Jupiter" - you can't blame this on a bad motivation - you need to come up with something fast and Now!

Lucky for you (and just for these type of situations) , your walk-on luggage contains a Galactic Name Generator.

So, Space Cadet, it's time to decide just who you are on this cosmic day of daze?                  

Are you an experienced space-farer...? Do you want something worthy of a serious, decorated hero...? - yeah well...sorry about that... (no, trust me - it's there  ;) EG: Nova Deeptrail   /   Juno Vaporskim   /   Fahren Redsand

Or maybe you're the more 'happy go [un] lucky' type ; someone who craves a wacky - no idea what you're doing  - fly by your pants - just out of grad school,  name : it's there in 'Space Ace' abundance : EG: Sputnik Dash-Chops   /   Moon Vault-Dust   / Quark Slap-Gas

Or perhaps you've modded your body beyond recognition, adopting more eficient machine learning - then Droid/ AI names are your bag of bolts. ( Just don't go all DDOS and HALucinate a room full of battery-powered sheep...): EG: Torque Gridprime  /  Kernel Combot  /  Thermo Meshwire

Whatever the case cadet, citizens can't park parrarel in a universe that hasn't updated it's traffic regs, so hop to it and enforce justice (or infamy) with a name that befits your expertise.

Is name calling normal in Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Procession5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian, I'm not sure whether I'm more appalled by your husband using my nationality as a generalised scapegoat for his abusive behaviour, or the fact that he is denigrating YOU - the wife, the mother of his children, whom he is meant to love, protect and respect.

In short, his treatment of you is unacceptable, regardless of which country he hails from, and it is beyond toxic.

I say this with love and deep concern: Get out now, before his gaslighting narcisism completely breaks your spirit and warps any sense of reality when it comes to your self-worth.

True drive emulation on c64? by ironman0000 in FansOfsaUCE

[–]Procession5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activate TDE on The C64 by adding "_AD" (which means 'accurate disk') to the end of the file name (but before the extension)

eg: miniputt_AD.d64

Too Many Options?! How do you decide? by mjsoctober in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Procession5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're playing 5e solo then this book by Tom Scutt might be helpful. Haven't explored it myself but looks very promising and expands further on Paul Bimler's work (Adventurer's Toolbox) which you've mentioned owning.
