Shub-Niggurath’s Pit in Quake

They’re very much 64bit, as they’re avoiding unity all together. The standard framework of actors and scenes don’t really work for a game at that scale, so they decided to roll their own, and they’re calling it the Brutal Framework “because it’s quite brutal to work with”.

So far the result is really impressive looking, and since there aren’t many layers of abstraction to work via, the performance is pretty impressive too.

Yeah, KSP2 was botched on so many levels, but primarily by Take2.

Looking forward to seeing what comes out of KSA, though. With many of the old devs and modders of KSP1 on board it looks like they have a good start.

They move in ellipses on earth as well, but it’s cut short by hitting the ground. Also, air resistance affects the trajectory so that anything thrown/shot will eventually return.

Not often, but it happens sometimes, usually early before getting out of bed.

I travel a lot as part of my job, I’ve been to 27 countries, and lived long-term in three of them.

When out and about, upon waking up from my alarm I sometimes have to orient myself and remember where I am and why.

I’d mostly keep quiet, but try to position myself in a way that would likely net a significant inheritance at some point.

Other than that, it doesn’t really change much: My genetic origin may be different than what I thought, but my parents never changed.

The generally don’t containerize things because I’m too old and crusty, but segregating over several users is basically how it’s been done for ages, and while it may not be particularly useful in your case, I consider it a reasonable best practice that costs you nothing.

If by barbecue you mean grilling, it’s very popular in the summer up here in Norway. If you mean actual barbecue, then not so much - It takes too long. The only one I know here who does actual barbecue here is a Texan immigrant.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I fart in your general direction!

Depends on where. I never do where I live. Not just beggars, but most charities that engage me on the streets as well. I just need to get through my day, and the money I have is already reserved for something, and anyone who knows me knows that the least enticing way to get me to do anything is to show up out of the blue and ask for something, or ask for something when I’m just moving through to some destination or purpose.

EDIT: My GF reminded me of a major exception to the above: There’s this magazine often sold by people down on their luck. I usually buy it, even if I don’t always read it, because the ones selling it are usually in the beginning stages of (hopefully) turning their life around. People fresh out of rehab, etc. They’re making an effort, and I’ll happily support them doing so.

I do support some charities, but none of the ones I support bothered me with expectations of social etiquette when I’ve got shit to do and places to be. I’ve finally reached the point in my life where I don’t give two shits about coming off as rude or unfriendly.

When I’m somewhere foreign I’m a bit more nice/giving, though. For starters, I don’t know much about local circumstances to know which hardships and lack of support anyone I meet face. Secondly, I am usually carrying some local jimjam currency I won’t need once I leave. A prime examle of this is when I saw a beggar in Mobile, AL last year, and I walked past someone with that “default” sign of being a veteran et.al. I was leaving the next day and didn’t really need whatever local currency I had in my pocket, so I gave him 40$. If he truly needed it (which I assume he did), then I hope it took a load off his shoulders for a while. If he didn’t then it wasn’t that big of a loss to me.

They’re already caught up when it comes to EVs. They’re probably far ahead, even.

As for reusable rocketry, I’m sure there are a few things they’d be interested in learning, but probably don’t consider it worth it having to deal with him.

What’s your favorite dinosaur?

Hey bro, can you hack my ex GFs Facebook?

That I can fix their computer or home network.

Sorry, Bubba, if your router costs less than my PC, there’s not much I can do. Same answer if your PC costs less than my car.

Also, I haven’t been good at troubleshooting windows (to the extent that is at all possible) since Tobey was Spiderman.

Back in the day when I played Anarchy Online 24/7, when it was time to sleep I used to travel to this area named Varmint Woods so I could sleep to the music and the ambience.

There is no better feeling than the serenity of having just vomited away the ache after your guts have been waging civil (and uncivil) war on yourself for hours.

My dad lost his arm in the late 90s in a work related accident. He described it as painful but was surprised at how it didn’t feel worse right there and then. Probably due to shock.

He was working alone in the middle of the night with his tractor when it happened, so he picked up what remains of his left arm he could find into a bucket and drove to the local nursery home because he knew there were people awake there 24/7. I guess that’s one definition of grace under pressure.

Upon arrival he got the emergency help he needed there and then and a while later he told us that while waiting for the medevac helicopter to be summoned, he was annoyed again about the pain, thinking “Isn’t this where I’m supposed to faint?”.

Later he had the occasional phantom pain. He didn’t struggle with it that much, and it usually passed after a few moments, but he told me that the worst parts was when he had an itch, or a finger was Ina weird position, he could do nothing about it since the limb simply wasn’t there anymore.

His arm was severed by a tractor-operated snowblower right below the elbow.

Fun fact: When the thaw of spring arrived he was happy to learn that someone had found his wristwatch in the retreating ice. Still working just fine. A little later someone found a wedding ring and correctly guessed that it belonged to the guy who got maimed there a few months earlier.

I’m sure I remember seeing a parody trailer of “Titanic directed by Michael Bay”

Pearl Harbor. 5 minutes of cool CGI, rest of it being absolutely forgettable.
