acting as pirates

I thought that's what we were supposed to do today anyway, it being "talk like a pirate" day and all. ...Ah, wait, you're in NZ so it's already the 20th for you, isn't it.

Arrr, mateys, methinks ye landlubbers ought ta git yerselfs workin on ye olde AI code and go from there. Else yon scalawags will have ye walkin' the plank. Where's the rum, me hearties?

A fan-made trailer got posted to the Kickstarter. And it's pretty awesome.


Only ten days left.

Found this earlier today, had it on a loop ever since.

Victor - yes, the Skyrim Creation Club content is set to be auto-downloaded to your computer regardless of whether or not you pay for it.

I have some problems with this attitude, but it's an explanation worth knowing.

I'd be interested in hearing you elaborate.

Self-sustaining offworld colonies are a necessary step to begin with If it was up to me, we'd have that Mars colony already. I really want sci-fi stuff to start happening.

I didn't actually make that change. It's possible Josh did quietly without telling anyone. I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
