Not posting with alternative text is like missing half of the xkcd.

George Carlin on soft language

I code for God, who do you code for, Exile?

Nope. Anyone romanticizing space exploration should play Pioneer or Evochron Legacy. Space is vast and boring to travel.

Open source. Cross-platform.

And to quote the documentation: No strings attached, no royalties, nothing.

Don't worry about labels - stick with the hobby, it's good for ya.

This is the way.

Would be nice to get a seal-of-approval, to see any post made by anyone from GGG here.

If the void wanted us to use the third hand for anything other than signaling, it would corrupt us that way. I say we're lucky enough and I'm grateful the system is as civilized as it is.

Oh haha, by retiring I meant cutting my losses. Thanks for bringing up re-hexing, totally forgot about that one.

This hits home for me! I fondly remember eating roach filled ice cream sprinkled with spore, during the Sunday morning walks with my father. Every week during the summer, we used to make a lengthy trip around the complex. From the blast doors, flexible housings, all the way to the emergency cooling water storage. Now I know that the reason for those existing, was the failure of the algae dispenser in our underground. Still, I'm glad that my father found energy to give me attention and sense of enjoying little things in those trying times. Bummer about your ice cream parlor man, have you talked to the manager?

What a beauty!

Still missing P90s guitar in my roster.

Sounds like a great deal, never heard of Costco though. Which parsec chart should I be looking at?

Highly recommend Peterson StroboStomp. Precise, easy to read and responsive.

Can't go back to using anything else after getting it.

No idea about your trade routes but the only ones we have here are synthetic, been so for decades. If a "copy" has the exact qualities and properties of a natural, then you just call it by it's name.

That's so cool. You're one of today's lucky 10000!

Always nice to see the early footage and videos they released leading up to the launch. Looking forward for the pt 2.

I always liked how Freespace have done this. Your wingman don't get to have unique names nor plot armor but you could give them commands and they felt really useful. They were not permanent companions and yet you cared about them and felt something when they went down.

Would be cool to get an implementation of that system. Imagine defending the vehicles graveyard in Garbage with a squad of loners assigned by Bes for you to command.

I'm enjoying "Dead Meat" series by Nick Clausen, currently on day 5.

It's "Night of the Living Dead"esque, takes place at the beginning of the outbreak and the action is in Denmark. It's quite different than traditional stuff from US, since there's no crazy gun ownership in Europe - lots of close, in-your-face struggles, usually ending in bites.

I love the Hammer's adaptation, Victor is a real asshole.
