State of the Game

[Sysmon]

and i have the entire series hd encoding just in case my subscribed streaming services lose the rights. Can't trust studios these days. Hundreds of GB's well spent.

Fray makes a return appearance in i think season 11. Spike becomes captain to an alien space ship. The series thru to season 12 was pretty good.

The reboot isn't bad either.

I meandered into anime collection after Buffy ended, since the series (and much of Whedon's work in general) is based on anime and manga. Have felt sad about the future since the Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita and now Cowboy Bebop live action shows. Pretty, but uninspired.

That's a wet Bentos, have you added gravy / other brown liquid?

Whenever I've had a Bentos its full of gravy but only had one or two bits of mystery meat in it.

Just like Kumo Burger, every Fray Bentos can is an adventure in taste, texture and mystery.

Glad it wasn't just me hahahaha!

Great minds think alike.

Just finished Expanse Book 9 : I think they actually pulled it off, they landed it. Not without issues, but

Can you do a review in the VR section, once you get one. I've got a Rift S - and enjoy VR immensely, but am always interested in an upgrade.
I'm lucky in that the IPD on the RiftS is okay for me, and I can play for 6+ hours with no problems - apart from a big red ring round my face!

EDIT: Meant to say - your advice of try a Type 10 for viewing while in VR was a cracking suggestion. The views are stunning.
Plus since update 8, things look loads better, and performance is slowly getting there.

I can't bring myself to do it. I've got an Oculus Quest and was able to use it via their Oculus link software (haven't tried in a while). I gotta say that it was visually amazing, but the sheer amount of controls the game needs, I can't do it all "by touch" especially now with the on-foot keyboardy stuff.

I've still got my (signed!) copy of Tiamat's Wrath sitting on the bedside table that I haven't started. The whole "time jump" thing threw me off.

I'm wondering if that is secretly what Barreh the Powahpley alien looks like, but only when seen as a reflection in a mirror.

I've always found the meat to be reasonable but the pie a bit dry with slimy under crust.
It's highly likely that I need to add i to the list of stuff I can't cook properly!

Lunch was mulligatawny soup (the king of soups), that even I couldn't mess up. I'm still thinking about it.

It helps being able to touch type. But otherwise I can recommend the X-56 for the sheer amount of controls right at your fingertips.

My favourite ship for VR:

T-10 for the sweet cockpit experience, especially when sitting in the middle of a swarm of Scouts and watching them being shredded with AX munitions.

Corvette for the sweet Star Destroyer experience, sitting in a laser disco in planetary ring somewhere, melting pirates.

Mamba, for the fighter plane feel.

Krait Mk II, for all the nooks and crannies - I really want to know what's up that open vent! And the coffee machine.

Beluga, for the Star Trek feel.

Great news!

I'm just hoping

Millions of years later Amos, now immortal after being repaired is the last human, and becomes the new god of the next set of lifeforms curious about the protomolecule.

The last words: "I am that guy"

Just put a magnetic afterburner detent into my TWCS throttle. Fantastic for stopping me from burning all my fuel away without noticing in flight sims.

In E I guess I could map pushing through to a virtual FSD button?

 

[AlSki]

Mamba Imperial Courier, for the fighter plane feel.

FTFY
Sorry the Mamba just does not hoon about like a Courier. It's good, but not quite as good.

Oh and if you have a Gimballed Beam Laser on the Huge hardpoint in VR, every now and again when your target dips down below you, then for a fraction of a second it feels like the Beam did just fire straight through the canopy above your head. Sometimes even through your head as well, which is an "interesting" experience.

Who puts anything non-fixed in that huge hardpoint?! Imperial scum.

I confess I love a slimy bottom on pies*

I think the only way to cook a Fray Bentos to remove the slime is if you popped it in a furnace for a week or two.
