State of the Game

[Manticore]

I am honoured by the call for saintification ..........

That would be "canonisation" which actually sounds pretty weird if you really believe the person should be elevated (but not elevated in this way):

Nowhere where it can turn round and bite you.

- quoted the wrong thread - Grrrrr. - oh well you get the gist

I am honoured by the call for saintification (as I refuse to use proper grammar), although I am very shy and never outspoken.

For the band, if brother prorabbit doesn't play an instrument, I vote he does our promo artwork and memeage.

I also vote Ender for food boy and roadie that gets abused?

Brother Bottom Hat, this is granted. All of it.

And from now on, thou shalt be addressed as Saint Hat.

 

[The Nephilim]

I pity the poor souls that end up as groupies.

We've ye to hear Saint Hat speak. It could be Paradise or it could be a World of Mars bars.

About to play a bit of EDO - Co-pilot at the ready - he seems to like the sub-woofer in my footwell
(excuse the picture quality it's an old phone):-

Just playing with headphones on - I had forgotten just how good the sound is.

This is also the first time with my motherboard etc inside it's new case (Thermaltake View 71 RGB Full Tower Gaming Case - Black Tempered Glass). It seems to be running a lot cooler now, and it is damn quiet - really pleased with it - I'm only using fan cooling - not water cooling (not brave enough for that leap yet). Oh and it also looks nice

Henry is also fascinated by it - pictures to follow, once I get a good one

you would think that the failure of following Lord Brabus and then the Holy Roadmap would turn one off from continuing in the following of religious idols.

When bottomhat fails to deliver on the faith put in him...what will it be next? Make community managers into mythical creatures like angels and worshipping them?

I used to love chicken nuggets, until I got a deep fried feather in a bite one day.

Now I stick to Steak 'n Shake or restaurants run by illegal immigrants. They make the best food.

Are you anywhere near to streaming yet? I haven't seen anyone attempt to play sc in ages. I could do with a bit of a laugh. I'm also prepared to be envious if it turns out to be good

Well, it finally downloaded - now trying to sort out controls as selecting Warthog Hotas doesn't appear to do anything constructive - bar tell you to use a menu that selects joystick to nothing, twice!
Maybe a morning job.
Loading time is stupidly long, even on a Samsung 970 Pro NVMe drive! (him fast drive)

Cheers for the update - good luck.

In the meantime - I'm heading to Colonia for only my 3rd time - going to have a look at the Colonia crash site thing.
Just need to swap to my Asp explorer - although even that only has a jump range of 40 ( I think)

Could we please get this thread back on topic?

Allow me:

No Marmite in the aisle Anglais at Casino.

But, did find Dr Pepper.

And a loooooooooooooooottttttttof Dutch tourists.

+1 for the Dr Pepper.

Found some Dr. Pepper Cotton Candy while I was gone.

 

[nemolomen]

everything has been considered. all just as equally possible.

It's as mysterious as the lack of development that thargoids have made in millions of years of space flight and conquering.

Maybe Raxxla os nothing more than lore. It is in the game, within the Codex, so maybe that's all it is...

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

I remember an interview where he said that it's out there, we just haven't found it yet.

Doubt I will find it here:

waves hand

Now THIS is a moon

Booty bounces using Force

Was that a "hold my adult beverage" moment?

 

[nemolomen]

I have a 34 inch 21:9 ultrawide monitor and I sit pretty close to it so when I am focused on the middle of the screen it pretty much fills up my "focused view angle".

And I swear that at the 2nd day of DOOM marathon I had moments when I was being "sucked up" into Doom apocalyptic world,
as like my brain was cropping the area outside of my monitor and it was visually processing only the in-game part of visual stream.

Or it was something else, it was like in moments of extremely intense action the amount of visual data was temporary boosted.
By metaphor it was like LOD level AND capture framerate AND objects identification rate were switching to higher performance mode and processing ONLY on the part of viewing angle that was inside monitor rectangle.

It was pretty strange, I used to play some FPS shooters years ago but I don't really remember this effect.

I mean - usually when you are becoming faster because of some training (in any area), you just react quicker when you have to, but I doubt it should "leak" to your consciousness so extensively you can literally notice "modes switching" and be aware of the increased amount of objects you are able to trace.

I know this from my experience as an reckless driver of 400-600+ HP cars - in critical moments I react and make choices on subconscious level - usually I am fully aware of what I have done to avoid some disaster when it's already avoided

This was something else, it was like similar "critical moments" boost, but happening in consciousness.

Damn, I can't even play stupid game without some bizarre mental ride.

Oh, and two obvious non-solutions:

• I play on stable 60 fps lock
• I wasn't stoned ))

Playin' wi' the force again?

Pop over to Carcosa and say hello when you've had a peek at the crash site... Would ask you to sell your explo date a Wells Astrophysics there if you would be so generous.
But if you are not playing Odyssey - you won't be able to visit a surface installation to sell it off - if Horizons do not come and sell in Carcosa!

i wonder how the phrase "can of worms" became part of the vernacular ... nothing about the phrase makes sense on any level ..not literally and not in the figurative way it's used.

1. nobody gets worms in a can. Nor does anyone sell a can of worms outside practical joke shops referring to the springy kind
2. in what way is a can of worms related to starting an avalanche of problems/issues that can't be stopped. Worms are not octopi ...they're quite easy to contain. Nor are worms themselves really problematic / annoying or in any other way really unwanted unless they're the tiny parasitic kind.

I've, actually, bought many cardboard or plastic "cans" of live worms from many different places of business over my lifetime.
