State of the Game

Boosts at outpost, waits to be way too close to possibly stop in time, then suddenly pulls throttle down.

Eats popcorn while watching auto-docking system panic activate all thrusters and still bounce around in all directions.

Bessie the space Cow in bucking bronco mode?

So no 'real' explorers here?

Oh for PETE'S SAKES, Amy!

I just want to complain about case of domestic violence.

Well, actually my wife only said, that I don't have to drive her to some lake beach, she can manage on her own.
Probably because of enthusiasm radiating from my face when she talked about this idea for the day.
And I know for a fact, that there is unspoken terror hidden behind such innocent sounding statements and long term, grim consequences.

So, I wish you a proper nerdy fun today, my Sunday is already ruined, unless I manage to tune into "jock" type somehow.

If your wife says that you don't have to do something two things inevitably follow from such a statement:

1. This is not intended to let you off the hook. Quite the opposite, you will be expected to make up for this failure in at least half a dozen ways, which will require far more time and effort than the trip to the lake beach would have taken.
2. You have been put on notice that failure to comply with point 1. will incur even heavier sanctions against you until you do comply. Withdrawal of bedrooms activities is also very likely if you do not comply with point 1.

 

[MishaTX]

BOY! Are they in for some serious disappointment!

No, not at all. They're in for new and EXCITING encounters and experiences!

 

[Bottom Hat]

I think our mental ages are the same too

Yup, about 12...!

oh gawd we are all nearly 50

Easy there buckaroo, I'm down the other end of the decade. Just!

Essentially: You lost, good luck

No, not at all. They're in for new and EXCITING encounters and experiences!

And tons of potential and diplomatic exchanges - ingame and the forums.

You're nearly 60????

 

[Bottom Hat]

You're nearly 60????

Hahahaha, you cheeky sod!

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

Hahahaha, you cheeky sod!

Yep. Nods thoughtfully.

How did you know that I do this frequently to brighten up my ED game play?

It's particularly satisfying if you fly at speed through the slot and are just about to collide with another ship when you engage the ADC...

Note: loss of your ship is still likely to occur...

Good to know I won't be alone in the front row the day AI develops sentience!

Yes, thanks for elaborating, I am under time pressure ATM.

You mean first against the wall when the revolution comes!

Spent the first 40 years of my life trying to be intelligent for... reasons, i guess. Planning to spend the next 40 being an idiot because it’s way more fun.

 

[Susanna]

Reminisces in those heady days a decade ago before my prolapsed disc, advance snoring skills and ability to scare my scales witless if I so much as walk into the bathroom...

Comforted!

I didn't want to mention point 3. because of the risk of inducing PTSD and being sued for causing mental cruelty... But since you bring the matter up, there is a limited time window to complete point 1. before point 2. is engaged.

See, spending 40 years to gain intelligence wasn't completely wasted! Now you know that the thing to do is exactly the opposite!

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

And no-one mentions point 4, because if you get to point 4... because well... It's why we don't mention it!
