    Stella Fortuna Is Up

    Actually, I used SF to pickup an LTI Emerald Connie Phoenix which was one of the few ways to pick up an LTI Phoenix. Of course, that was when they had the Emerald Archimedes and the Emerald Ursa for sale with LTI, so it didn't cost 3k to get an "expensive" ship. (I can't believe that at one...

    I always use "gets run over by a squirrel" instead of of "gets hit by a bus" when discussing business continuity plans. "Look, I know Sam is a great worker, but what happens tomorrow if she goes out for a walk and gets run over by a Squirrel? She's the only one that knows those processes and...

    Eggs

    Penderyn Whisky isn't bad either (Welsh Whisky, abd distinct from the Irish or Scottish versions) Really wanting to go to the UK and maybe Ireland at some point.

    Losing the faith

    I was fortunate enough to see Billy Joel on his River of Dreams Tour and Reba on one of her tours. Both performers were absolutely fantastic. Recently, I have been able to see Alton Brown on his stage show (it's good, get a ticket and go if you can), took in a Lecture from Neil DeGrasse...

    Losing the faith

    About 10 years ago, I backed for a game being made by Chris Roberts. It had big plans and a reasonable implementation date, but it could all be done with mostly existing tech. Sure, it would need some stuff like 64 bit precision and some tech that would allow for upgraded netcode to allow more...

    Eggs

    I think this is a partial translation Oh, yes. My dad [something something something] you know? Guesstimate….oh yeah? My dad from the Lead Hills, do you know him?

    Eggs

    Scotch eggs are not bad, but I find the ratio of sausage to egg a bit off for my taste

    Vanduul Blade getting a buff

    Oh, I do agree with you, but some of the stuff I see CIG doing in the name of "realism" (needing to fight fires with hand held fire extinguishers for instance, cargo loading, etc.) is just plain silly. I see the need to load and unload cargo when you are moving goods from one ship to another...

    Star Citizen Live SPECIAL EDITION: A More Stable Universe - TEXT SUMMARY

    Yes... There I was...it was the dawn of the personal computer age...Mattel had an electronics game system called intellivision that you could place baseball on (really bad power switch design though), and even an add on module that allowed for "voice". A time when CP/M still held sway, where...

    Vanduul Blade getting a buff

    operation pitchfork isn't happening as there will be no vanduul systems...at least at 1.0 launch and since operation pitchfork is supposed to happen just before the game goes live for the final time.... That said, you have to ask why we have WWII in space as "start of the art" in 930 years. No...

    Star Citizen Live SPECIAL EDITION: A More Stable Universe - TEXT SUMMARY

    No Glorious Leader, they have to release a game that people will buy. How many people already have a copy of SQ42? Lots. What they need is to sell to people new to the project or don’t have the game in their pack, and who won’t wait for reviews to buy it. I don’t think CIG’s going to...

    MISC Fortune

    I have already suggested multiple times in spectrum that since we can already “repair’ ships with our hand held salvage guns, that salvage ships that have the right materials should be allowed to repair ships in a similar manner….for now. I am not suggesting that it remain that way, just saying...

    Cutlass Black Game Package $100

    If you are interested in a game package with 20k UEC and 6 month insurance, there is a Cutlass Black package being offered with red paint, armor, backpack, and shotgun for 100 bucks, which is 10 bucks less than it costs for the regular ship. Correction, it is warbond...

    The Theory of " FAT FURY "

    PC Build - Help Requested

    I would use Micro Center as my source for parts and get a "build warranty" if there is one near you. Now, Lian Li is not my favorite case maker. I have one and pretty much to sum it up as "never again" Ask yourself this. Since you want a 5090, do you want a case that is vertical GPU mount...

    Remember Star Wars Galaxies?

    yes, UO is still up and running. I know people who still play on Atlantic as well. I played from the second age expansion/re-release. I stopped because of the rampant PKing. I played SWG from launch (when the servers came up) to after JTL. I stopped mostly because SOE did not have a great...

    Warhammer 40,000

    Katrina or Melissa Steiner, yes, Katherine Steiner…not a fan of her. I was a fan of the Lyran commonwealth and federated suns. Also of wolf’s dragoons and even called the whole affiliation of them with star league armies in exile long before the clan series came out, but not of some of the...
