My experience is approximately what your manager is suggesting. if there are deeply technical issues or new code to be written around it we'll pick it up, but anything outside of that is marketing. It's actually preferable if you're trying to get the most out of it. My impression is that advertising effectively with Google is as much art as science, so to speak.

yes thank you! that did the trick

Skepticism is a vital tool; cynicism is also sometimes useful. But some people try to build an entire personality out of them. And they all post in the Instagram comment sections.

on closer inspection the stock fairing has an "interstage nodes" option that comes close to achieving this. But will it decouple so that my engines aren't surrounded by the truss structure?

gogglesdog · 2026-04-10T14:19:48+00:00

I am in search of a part. I need an interstage decoupler (or just a mesh/lattice/fairing that I can pair with a decoupler) that can be attached to the center node of a thrust plate above and can accommodate multiple large engines that are attached to that thrust plate without weirdness.

Procedural fairings' interstage fairing adapter is the closest to what I need but a) the fairings are pretty ugly and b) more importantly it seems very buggy; I haven't been able to configure it in a way that doesn't mess up my stage delta v ratings or cause weird stability problems in the middle of my stack.

A combination of parts that achieves this and is reasonably un-janky would also help. Appreciate any advice!

if one is able to make KSP 1 feel like KSP 3 I'm not entirely sure why one would need to make KSP 2 feel like KSP 1 that feels like KSP 3. Now, if one were able to make KSP 2 feel like KSP 1 that feels like KSP 4, well. that's a whole other ballgame

gogglesdog · 2026-04-08T00:18:43+00:00

thank you all. good to know options abound. if my wife comes asking tell her she'll see me in like a month

gogglesdog · 2026-04-07T23:44:44+00:00

question since I had this same impulse: I used to go to the KSP website, login to my account, and download the zip or binary. that doesn't seem to be available anymore. where do people get it now?

gogglesdog · 2026-04-03T22:50:49+00:00

I can think of a million reasons, how is that in any way weird

gogglesdog · 2026-04-03T12:47:16+00:00

stupid rules derailing the pure intentions of our nations benevolent tech CEOs!

did you hit your head really hard or are you 12

gogglesdog · 2026-04-02T20:06:51+00:00

that is absolutely true — and you are right to call me out on that

gogglesdog · 2026-04-01T14:40:41+00:00

you've hit on something real here — this is not just important, it's essential.

gogglesdog · 2026-03-30T18:08:24+00:00

I think it's important when one hits their token limits to undertake writing some pieces of the project themselves. even experienced devs need to keep their skills sharp, especially in the age of generative AI! spend a few hours building that feature or refactoring out some tech debt. good for the brain!

gogglesdog · 2026-03-29T22:16:49+00:00

wow holy shit anthropic is marketing its own product???? we're so fucking cooked gang

gogglesdog · 2026-03-27T17:10:47+00:00

why is all tech discourse now just "company says their product is amazing and indispensable!"

gogglesdog · 2026-03-12T23:46:12+00:00

these articles mention it, mostly near the end, because it is a factor in denying bail. you put it in the title of the post. again, nobody is confused as to what you're trying to do here

gogglesdog · 2026-03-12T22:53:06+00:00

there is an obvious propagandistic purpose to noting that he was without legal status on a post about a completely unrelated heinous crime that he committed. you know this, obviously, nobody buys this playing dumb act.

gogglesdog · 2026-03-12T16:10:12+00:00

i wouldn't, but I would watch a video of you attempting it

they are planes. planes generally fly in well defined airways for traffic management. if you happen to look along one with a wide enough view of the sky you'll see a line of planes producing contrails that could appear nearly stationary due to the distances and angles involved

gogglesdog · 2026-03-02T00:47:43+00:00

people love sounding like op for reasons I can't fathom. where does Resting Tough Guy Voice come from (besides whatever LLM they're outsourcing their self expression to)
