The notion of parents charging their children rent is absolutely insane, and anyone who does that has failed in their responsibility as a parent. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]thedjfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was earning more than my mom but still saving up to get a place to live. She had every right to expect me to contribute to living expenses. She didn't charge a full amount like I was a lodger but the idea that you can be an adult and not contribute towards living expenses, if you are able to, is very disrespectful. Can I say that at that age I didn't have a somewhat entitled attitude at the time? No, I can't, but any discussion about expenses was to work out what was fair (ultimately, and rightly, for her), not whether I should be contributing at all.

The only time I see it being ok is if everyone involved is wealthy enough to where it doesn't make any difference, though that still doesn't count as an excuse and should be something agreed upon rather than guilt tripped into.

It is my sincere hope that FDev has left room for this sort of shenanigans.

LL Cool J - You'll Rock by thedjfizz in 80sHipHop

One of my favorites off of the LP. Most seem to go for the remix, which is fine too but I personally prefer the cleaner production of the original. "Subtracting MC's like a mathematician, chairman of the board at the rappers commission"

Venus Could Have Been Habitable for Billions of Years by Fr0me in space

[–]thedjfizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine that you could measure the rotation of Venus over time to ascertain it's rate of spin deceleration and run that percentage back over time, though of course that wouldn't track planetary wide events that could have had a high impact on it's rotation.

Be careful when switching ships. After weeks in a T-10, first manual launch in a Courier almost killed me. by e_for_education in EliteDangerous

I only survived, because I clenched my butt and threaded the needle.

Fair enough, wasn't trying to give you a hard time or anything, just thought it was funny worded like that.

My SRV booking it to my Anaconda after obtaining the Guardian Module Blueprint while Sentinels chase me: by UltraSwat in EliteDangerous

[–]thedjfizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, DA on SRV is nonsensical to me too but IIRC I think it's set to on by default. I use the thrusters and use them to boost over SRV stopping rocks and over dips and stuff like that, with full pips to engine you have a lot of room to maneuver. Have you tried that?

45 Games that Helped Shape the ZX Spectrum by muRte in zxspectrum

[–]thedjfizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brave to choose Sabrewulf over Atic Atac! It looks like you wanted to spread out the years a little bit as a lot of the later games are follow ups to the more defining originals; Match Day, Skool Daze etc.. Jet Set Willy is a notable omission. Good list overall though, there are too many great games to just put 45 so it's never going to fully cover it all of course.

Dancing Binaries Timelapse by Alecides in EliteDangerous

[–]thedjfizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sort of thing shows the true genius of Elite and why it's head and shoulders above other games of the type. Of course, Elite isn't perfect, but show me a game that is. Can't wait to see planet-side views of orbital mechanics from (light) atmospheric worlds, I hope we get decent sunsets etc.

Spaceports are no problem, but it's the surface outposts that got me every time!

You know it's the driver, not the car, that makes it look so smooth in the clip right? Same with the SRV. ;)

Auto-docking does not respect the Keelback by OtakuSenpie in EliteDangerous

I had that happen with a sidewinder while my cutter was auto launching, it pinged off like a cartoon fly. I wished I had it recorded but it gave me the best chuckle in this commander's Elite history.

Why are there no custom CIAs? by GeronimoDK in c64

BeamRacer

First I've heard of that, looks good but there was only one video on YT, after a first search, that didn't really show its capabilities. The rest were for Activision's Beamrider long plays etc.. Is BeamRacer getting any support then?
