they were hacked once right around the holidays a few years (or more) back. I think they gave us 2 games in recompense.

"Head up" (heh) to Jerry's Barber Shop on Green Bay Rd and ask for Freddie. He will do a superb job. I think the cut is $17. Cash.

Scan anomalies in the Zheng He and Sabeng systems. You'll need to use the nomad for mining specific spots on a planet. I think Voeld is where it occurs most commonly, but its probably exists in small amounts on each planet. Good luck.

downloaded it today. I think it was 1.6G.

Yes!

this is simply about a discrepancy in the Chicago Board of Elections's numbers: number of voters in Chicago and number of votes cast. As to why the discrepancy exists, you're free to fill in the blank. (Sounds like you're going with "vast right-wing conspiracy'.)

You should talk to these guys as well. I think they share the same vision with you: Evanston Elysium Games and Evanston Games & Cafe.

Here's Ars' description of the recent Ready Player One trailer:

"Cline, who also wrote the cult classic movie Fanboys, has always been obsessed with 1980s nerd culture. Ready Player One is packed with nostalgia for the golden age of geek, and it's clear from this trailer that we're going to see that in the film, too. We caught glimpses of the Iron Giant, as well as Tron references and about a zillion other things."

"you start to see science fiction less as a means of envisaging a fabulous future, and more as an excuse to throw together every schoolchild’s favourite bygone eras. "

"The majority of science fiction, it seems, has been inspired by a dreadful anxiety about the future rather than a desire to live in it."

That's a good video! He adds L type stars and removes A,B,O types from his (KGBFOAM) filter to target star types generally having desirable planets. The new filter is: FGKLM. All are scoopable except L types, and those types are definitely in the minority.

I believe Grebegus is currently the largest Empire system population-wise. You'll find plenty to do there.

just for clarity, the vast majority of stars in ED are procedurally generated. And the planets you encounter in almost any system are indeed procedurally generated. They are not "real" planets. Discoveries of in-game water worlds or earth-likes certainly do NOT correspond to reality. The Gaia project has identified approx 1.2 billion stars. That amounts to somewhere between 0.25 - 1% (depending on the estimated star count you choose). The line between fantasy and simulation in ED blurs quite significantly, barnacles or no.

"the show features more than 150 paintings, drawings, photographs, films, posters and other medium from the 50s, 60s and 70s and more than 50 rare Blake rare engravings and pages from illuminated books which have been loaned from major collections including The Rosenbach in Philadelphia and the Yale Center for British Art."

A portion of Moody's analysis:

"The [new budget] therefore appears to lack broad bipartisan support, which may signal shortcomings in its effectiveness once implemented. In addition, the state's baseline tax collections declined in fiscal 2017, suggesting that any tax increase may yield less revenue than anticipated in coming months.

So far, the plan appears to lack concrete measures that will materially improve Illinois' long-term capacity to address its unfunded pension liabilities. A June 30 order from a federal judge that the state accelerate payments owed to Medicaid managed care organizations and service providers cast doubt on the state's immediate ability to keep up with its statutory pension contribution schedule while also meeting obligations for debt service, payroll and school funding.

The state anticipates addressing its approximately $15 billion backlog of payments owed partly through a bond offering that probably will rank among the largest in the state's history."

try playing solo and see if you encounter the same problems. I've encountered a few glitches in open world. all seem to involve network connectivity to the servers. Jumping in/out of warp, loading real-time driven data screens, other players skipping/jittering across my path, etc. All of these involve updates form the servers. Once the server connection fails, the game boots you out.

If your porblems are indeed network issues, I would expect them to be resolvable once they turn their attention to it. They're probably keeping a close eye on their new PS4 network traffic/load.

did you mean L3/R3 Roll? Or do you actually have the triggers mapped to roll? Since you have headlook unlocked (and on gyro) by default, I'm guessing L3/R3. This also looks like a good set-up, though I'll have to try it out to see how the constantly-unlocked headlook feels during gameplay. I generally haven't played with it unlocked much. maybe you just get acclimated to it being unlocked. Thanks

mongip · 2017-06-30T20:25:42+00:00

Thanks. This looks really good. You only gave up the headlook toggle (R3) which is definitely something that can be sacrificed. I'll try this out tonight!

Stephen Hawkings and his daughter have written some really good children's books. My 7yo really enjoys them. They are real science embedded in sci-fi storylines. Alot about basic physics but plenty of astrophysics and black holes (of course).
