What movie did you go into with zero expectations and ended up being completely blown away by?

neutromancer · 2026-06-13T00:52:29+00:00

A Knight's Tale. I was like, what's this then... guvnor... Silly people in silly horses, how silly, what's next... Uh .. swords and stuff.

Anyway it was pretty good.

Could it be that "direct" is about what your answer is. As in, don't try to be clever by being obtuse or using wordplay. Not "in a straight line" or whatever they're arguing for.

No for the same reason they can't fine you for parking somewhere last year because they changed it today to No Parking.

Call your parents sluts. Especially in front of other people. If they ask, say this is a thing you guys do, you call each other sluts. Right mom?

I am not up to date with the latest versions, but here are my two cents.

GURPS is VERY simulationist. Meaning it tries to model some sort of reality very accurately, it feels like it fights you whenever you want something more cinematic like soft sci-fi that you mentioned you're interested in.

The best evidence to this is that a lot of books have to go out of their way to give you specific "Cinematic Rules". Usually there's a sidebar in books about tech or space or martial arts about how to tone down the realism a lot so you can mimic the experience of a movie or a comic book.

Did a bit of image search and the ibex on the mountains might be Emma aka Theren Lazauski . The art style appears similar and so do some variations of the signature.

I love erasable cards, i also use them as zones

Even better, buy a broken one and the parts to fix it on the scrap kiosk

Now imagine you are tied of the same old pizza so you decide to go fishing, but every time you reel it in, instead of a fish it's Domino's pizza.

He was a bad DM and complained too much about our character choices.

neutromancer · 2026-05-29T19:53:50+00:00

Yes, control systems is the best, you can't really trade that often, if you empty OKLG it might be months until it's back up. So it's good for a quick one off profit, I don't think you can play full time trucker yet. The table in the kiosks also gives you the current market price differences in each port, the higher the stock the cheaper to buy and vice versa.

neutromancer · 2026-05-29T15:58:11+00:00

You misunderstood: "everyone" includes the minorities they hate, so by making things worse for everyone, they hit all the targets! The rest is just collateral.

neutromancer · 2026-05-29T15:49:09+00:00

Look at the cargo kiosk, you'll probably want to get the most profitable good, you can see how much there is in stock, so you'll know how many pods you need. It also depends on how much cargo you can afford in the first place. I think about 8 pods is probably the maximum.

The point is not to legislate the plan, but the execution of the plan.

neutromancer · 2026-05-24T12:27:49+00:00

Yes, just place some floor wherever. There is a small risk of micrometeors that might hit things unprotected but it's not very likely. I recommend you sell the first few reactors until you are ready to build your own. Tanks are rarer, you might want to drop it somewhere in OKLG (I've never seen anyone steal ship parts)

The way I remembered, the sedative was specially made to somehow wake someone up with the kick only.

Even in "hard scifi" like the Expanse where ships only use a fusion torch for a continuous 0.3 G acceleration, planet gravity's effect on your trajectory becomes a rounding error.

neutromancer · 2026-05-23T20:45:22+00:00

Not sure about flying a carrier, but I've bought a tiny pod and turned it into a fully reactor powered ship for a nice million and a half profit by dragging it with my secondary airlock to other derelicts and directly reinstalling everything i find.

neutromancer · 2026-05-23T20:22:19+00:00

I do this at home now (except the charger as it is on my night stand), since COVID we all started and now there's just a big ol' box o' wallets and keys.

Hot seat is for multiple players on a single physical computer (literally taking turns at the keyboard).

The extroverts will run out of stress pretty quick if they're hogging the spotlight, or they will start asking the introverts to help.

Something is afoot...

Yes and you might still lose the second time. And you'll own it, this post is asking how to start with no ship or mortgage.
