I don’t know how to put this tactfully, but impromptu public performance of any kind is widely considered torture.

That’s why you go .tar.gz

Frisbee golf. It’s cheap, fun but challenging, and outdoors. Worst case scenario, you go on a long walk and bump into some interesting people. If you’re in a medium sized city or larger, there is probably a course and league near you.

The culture is generally very polite and fun to be around. Lots of harmless stoners and 30yo bearded people with beers in hand. In the south there is starting to be some influence from megachurches using it as an enticement, so I’m not sure if it’s “cleaned up” a little more down there.

No shade on “how it’s made”, it’s one of my favorite shows. But I think a LLM could probably write most of the narration. They primarily describe what is happening on screen. You might have to train one special to have information on industrial and manufacturing processes.

Nothing lol.

Oh this one is good. I have like 12 hours stuck in an empty community college lounge today. I found an APK for Android and I’ve been playing for a solid 4 hours. It’s a lot of fun even just gathering resources and upgrading the flagship.

How do I find tech upgrades? My lander needs some environmental resistance for sure.

I was just trying to remember the name of SiN earlier today, thanks.

You ever used a Deutsch Weatherpak connector? We use them on mobile equipment. They have a spring loaded face seal then a solid lever lock that is plastic but substantial enough that it’s usable. They’re pretty good wire to wire connectors. I’ll take anything with a twist lock though, BNC etc.

Agree. Twist lock always feels easy to do and secure.

Agreed. I have more hours in DCSS than any other game.

I don’t think it’s totally fair to call it ugly either. It’s a masterpiece of efficiency. The ASCII looks messy to some people, but after a while you just see right through it; purple Y = catlobe gtfo etc. Plus the upside is that it’s extremely clear at a glance what is going on because you don’t have complicated sprites everywhere. And the handmade vaults that get rolled into the procgen are often really nice looking and give the world a lot of character.

Yes, thank you. Excessive prudishness and self censoring is always an indicator to me that a community is going a weird direction.
