Finding another ad on Youtube that I actually wanted to watch (dirty looks at that sodding liquor and lottery slop), that resonated: https://youtu.be/2eR9xSuAZ_I. I want to be able to wear good boots. Bad boots are miserable. And they're saturating the market. And, insult to injury, seems they're al...

That moment in The Punisher where I had to pause for a moment and appreciate the writers, and murmur in admiration: me likey; well played.
Like they did in season one of Daredevil: that one stunning chess move, marvelous in its elegance.

Call me old-fashioned, but I consider it a sickening moral dissonance to allow affairs and marriage and yet completely disallow progeny. This limitation also significantly hampers the impact of these in storytelling. That is, imo, a major pain point. I won't deny that it is a complex problem, and th...

https://youtu.be/IPI2vUqdZFY Beta 18 - A World of Story -- it's officially here now. No surprises. My above ramblings should be interpreted as an enthusiastic endorsement of the update. Especially banishment, DF-ish combat logs, and significant iteration on the psychology system. :thumbup: Neverthel...

I, for one, am not disinterested in moar Sol Trader updates.

Update on machine pistols Stabber, Strife, and Shadow Termite: they've seen their first real action, and have prevailed! I sent Nicole, Ramos, and Satsuki (the senior; she slowed the party down with her bad back, but brought the formidable Shadow Termite to the table to compensate) on a daring 10 da...

Of course I'm going to let him equip this gun. And with that, all of my ar...

Trigger - As previously, you look just as energetic as I always imagine you to be.

That's what it is! I'm reminded of my friend Danny. This is a compliment: he's not only full of energy and surprisingly strong, but also really friendly and easy to get along with.

Gives a mood boost via meditative joy activity, like a stargazing mk II.

Just had an interesting kerfuffle break out in my Phoebe peaceful custom scenario permanent-aurora colony: [Early winter, a cold snap and hard snow have been keeping the colonists indoors] [Enter combat supplier caravan from the East] A hungry (and very stupid) wolf sees a meal opportunity, and latc...

psst. :squirrel: Unstable Alpha 18. Not officially announced yet, but reportedly not horribly unstable. Gonna test it today. :mrgreen: Some highlights: labelled world map lotta new mood stuff (including such things as 'murderous rage', 'running wild', 'tantrum', 'work frenzy', 'inspired art') combat...

Lies, Josh would never delegate the shiny UI stuff

Used to be Josh would never delegate, period.
Seems he's a changed man, and I'm not complainin'.

During the course of her career, [Williamina] Fleming discovered 10 novae, 52 nebulae, and 310 variable stars—a remarkable achievement for someone without a formal education in astronomy.

Respect for the Scottish maid.

A good long Flat-post is for me almost on-equal with a Josh-post.

I would guess mostly the palette, together with the confident speed-painting style. I like it too.
