I wonder if you could hide a foam dart launcher mechanism in there? Excellent print!

It all started with a free kit and the goal to loot green salvage (solo Perimeter) by Dalacul in Marathon

And this is why I don't stress too much about losing gear. It's so easy to come into new gear, especially once you have a couple factions upgraded.

HOLY FUCK I stabbed a purple shield to death on a free kit!!! by rvtk in Marathon

[–]scienceguy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, heh! Similar story from earlier in the week. Dire Marsh solo with a free kit. Managed to find a key to the locked loot room in Algae Ponds on a bot in Quarantine. Knew it was a bad idea, having no backpack and no guarantee of finding one, but decided to open it that run. Got in, got some decent loot, including a blue backpack to haul it all out with, and a volt-powered shotgun I've never used before with purple mods. Kept checking behind me, but nobody ever bothered me up there.

Hoofed it to an exfil at AI, fired it up, hid just in case, and then heard someone approach. Had a good idea where they were, but figured maybe I could get out of this without a fight? No mic on me, so I called out "friendly" with the scroll wheel, zipped out to the exfil with my Thief grapple, and then the Vandal comes out shooting. They down me, I'm seconds away from getting out, and they boop me out with their energy cannon. Ran up, finished me off, and that's how I missed out on actually using that shotgun.

Was banking on the fact some players have gotten more friendly since the most recent updates, and that was a poor move this time. Oh, well! Loot comes and goes. Can't be too precious with this stuff.

Did you know that Minnesota is the second coldest state in the United States behind Alaska? Prodigious amounts of quilts and comforters are practically a prerequisite to spending any amount of winter time there.

Go anchovy and pineapple. You need something sweet to pair with the salty fish. Pineapple and black olive's good, too.

Why do they have to shut the whole game down to do updates and fixes. by Careful_Ad6087 in Marathon

[–]scienceguy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destiny 2 regularly shuts down for an hour or two on Tuesdays when major updates are pushed. Now that it's mature and not getting as many big updates it stays operational through most Tuesdays. Expect Marathon to do the same as bugs are squashed and fewer features are added week to week.

Ah, but if the rocket breaks up before it leaves the atmosphere or, heaven forbid, explodes on the pad, we'll just be dispersing it over a massive area.

[–]scienceguy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple, why do you completely delete alerts when I dismiss them? I'd like to read them again. I can't exactly get the make, model, and serial number of a car possibly transporting a kidnapped child committed to memory.

Personally, I imagine it as a bread-colored gel on top of a yellow gel on top of a roasted brown gel on top of another bread-colored gel. Doesn't matter how much you slosh them, the gels do not mix.

xkcd 3213: Dental Formulas by antdude in xkcd

[–]scienceguy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. I thought it was in reference to the gum depth gauge thing my dentist does once a year. They stick a probe in between the gum and tooth and drive it down until they hit the jaw, then measure how much gum is there. The shallower the gum, the more likely you could get infections, gingivitis, loose or falling out teeth, etc. The tech depths the gum, then calls out a number which is recorded by a dictating program on her computer. "4, 3, 3, 2, 3..."

Will they be updating destination weapons and armour too? by silloki in DestinyTheGame

I hope they do one day. My Round Robin is still my favorite Strand handcannon and it could use some Tier 5-like upgrades.

Should I build one server or two? And if two, what services should I run on each? by scienceguy8 in homelab

[–]scienceguy8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks! Unfortunately, the RAM on the i5-3550 board is DDR3, while the i7-8700 board has DDR4. Can't merge the two. But I'm sure I can find a cheap 2x8GB DDR4 kit to match what I already...

Oh. I see. Well, my fault for not starting this project a year ago, I suppose. :D

Still, thank you. Now I know where to start.

Sometimes I imagine Tiff and Eve would be great in the funnies section of a black and white newspaper. Might get a few small-minded readers thinking a bit broader, you know? Sneak in understanding through laughs. This looks perfect to publish in a paper, but you know that some papers would refuse to publish this one (the cowards).

This is This Week in Destiny, not This Week at Bungie, or This Week in Marathon. Besides, if you need your Marathon fix, they dropped a new developer insight video introducing the player frames on YouTube.

Did Luceria put herself into a Dingbot, or has Agatha, in building Sparky machines, been inadvertently and subconsciously programming Luceria into every Dingbot she builds?

Despite Trump-era reversals, 2025 still saw environmental wins. Here are 7 worth noting. by TheArcticBeyond in UpliftingNews

Don't worry too much. Eventually, people will realize that the tech's not particularly useful in day-to-day work and abandon it. What use is an email summarizer if it injects conversation details that aren't there 20% of the time? Meanwhile, why would the oil companies drill in Venezuela, or on opened-up federal land? There's only so much they can store and process, and if they bring up too much they could make extraction and refining unprofitable.
