Follow for cynical yet positive takes on BS you didn't realize you cared about and Tennysonian rants on obscure topics. Artist, maker, technician, programmer, advocate.
That water surface is so gloss... I'm supremely jealous. Gonna go practice this.

The logical implication of this message is that he's aware that his orders are illegal.

Why should anyone reveal their location to you? How does anyone know you aren't a threat? I've never heard of you.

Have these accounts said anything you find suspect? Check their sources. Counter 'em with facts.

I don't care if they're from Timbuktu, if they're spouting verifiable truth.

I get that. I'd still be hesitant to answer, and for the same reason.

OH MY GOD THE MSN GAMING ZONE STILL EXISTS.

I think their addition of the Rosary is a certain kind of genius. It puts his faith-based decision-making (synonymous with uninformed guessing) front and center on the cover, as a warning to all.

The strategic commander still bums me out to this day because it was just a macro pad with X-Y+ZR but so useful in drawing/CAD and it was USB.

When it comes to support, I feel like it should be illegal to abandon peripherals without open-sourcing your drivers. It would prevent so much e-waste!

I read it. At least, one page of it so far.
I'd like to add "Force Feedback Controllers", "Strategic Commander", "TWAIN Support", "MSN Gaming Zone" and "Kinect /Kinect SDK" to the graveyard.

If I had a nickel for every time MS killed off a tech that was enabling empowerment and accessibility...

Dude's friend is right. It's clearly a brow furrow.

I was stalking Falstein for a bit, trying to convince him to reboot Koronis Rift. Enormously talented guy. Lucky you!

I know with about half the ships, there's very good reasons not to try to render them to scale... There's no shortage of impossible geometries.

Especially true when you consider that the game system really doesn't make much difference to the content of CR. It could be GURPS. We'd watch it anyway, and would have just as much impact on the storytelling and improv nature of the show.

Gotcha. Sorry if I was combative. I just don't want you - or anyone - to think for a second that I'm down with Nazi asshats or their enablers.

I've no loyalties to either of those companies, not a fan of anything they make. I perhaps had some naivete about Goodman's intentions, there, but...

If you're calling ME a bootlicker, YOU can fuck right off.
May 9, 2025 at 1:55 AM
Fair point, I suppose. I guess it's just my naivete that made me think maybe Goodman was actually concerned for the people who got ripped off in the kickstarter.
May 9, 2025 at 1:48 AM
If you read Goodman Games' statement on why they chose to do this... they're pretty invested in making sure the original kickstarter backers get refunded and Judges Guild will make no money from this.

I've been operating on 4 hours per night for years, with the occasional 6-8 hour sleep period perhaps twice a month.

Once I stopped worrying about it, I realized it was actually sufficient.

In centuries past, it was normal to wake up after 3-4 hours, putter about for ~1hr and go back to sleep.

You propose to fix a problem that you don't want to first understand? Or do you not want to fix it, and instead just condemn?

At NO point did I say they were right. Rather that I understood.
