State of the Game

[Fishy]

Right, so I got the ship back easily after all. Just quit game from prison, restarted with Horizons, and got the rebuy screen on login. Haha.

That gave me a few giggles though. First one was my status in the top right of the main menu:

Then, Sirius Corporation proves to be the most patient company in the galaxy. After 28 consecutive failures in restoring power with the misson-provided power generator and an armed assault on their local military base, we are no longer quite friends:

Spoiler

Note how they haven't lost all hope and do provide me a way to redeem myself. Guess I'll take a few more Restore Power missions from them.

Oh, and my errr, not-quite-a-stellar-success disappointed my good friend Annabeth, who is apparently an adept of the Void:

Entertainment 10/10, would totally fail again.

Annabeth is a woman. She can't be "kicked in the nuts" for obvious reason. As such, she note the lack of "nuts" to kick, by mentioning their absence. Essentially, you kick nothing, perhaps expecting to kick nuts instead.
Fdev thinks of everything.

Damn squirrels! It's ALWAYS them!

In the German translation the kick becomes possible...

We use eggs instead of nuts in our scrambled eggs.

I think we should go for the Ankh Morpork Democratic model. It's one person, one vote. Lord Vetinari is that person, and it's his vote.

Only because nobody else wanted to rule, so one day he said he was the ruler, and everyone was OK with that.

I once spent an entire evening reading up on the fluid dynamics of a swordfishes snout.. it was FASCINATING but I've forgotten everything alas..

That is exactly what the internet is for! Likewise - start with an interesting thought and before long you're reading about the mating habits of the Bolivian Moggajaffe (pictured below)
I do remember reading about the aerodynamics of dragonfly wings which despite being ridged have a lower drag resistance than a smooth surface, which is a pretty cool fact...

What are you people talking about, anyway?

She will blame it on some Dutchman.

kick in NETHERs
NETHERland is Holland
and who lives in Holland?
Dutchmen, obviously.

You are of course assuming that Annabeth is biologically female rather than self identifying as female...

 

[Bottom Hat]

I'm going to start suggesting to people that I'm going to kick them in the eggs, when they annoy me. Especially as it's a gender neutral assault method!

 

[WhiteShadow]

Did you know there's actually a forum outside of this thread?

What?! Where?!?

I am not. I think she gave the clue herself with this transmission.

 

[Just]

What?! Where?!?

NOWHERE.

It was just a prank, dude!

 

[Rubbernuke]

What?! Where?!?

Lies. Don't listen to Forum Morpheus. Eat red food and live in paradise.

Holland is in the Netherlands not is equal to.

Catfish.

We have those. Don't even think of swimming...

Do you like omelet ? I'll break the eggs for you.

That was in the French version of Last action hero, when Arnie kicked some guard in the jewels.

Plus the obligatory time dilation of trying to keep up with this thread!!!

I'm on yesterday lunchtime, and I still have another 50 pages to go!!

Hail the Mighty Brebus!!
