    Engine trails from ISS

    Oh god...TRIGGERED! This photo is actually from a Tweet from an astronaut on the ISS; it is a photo of the rocket launch and second stage separation of the next crew coming up to join them. In the discussion of her tweet, somebody asks how come they can't see stars in the background of the...

    Mistakes will be made

    You probably either want to play the ROM on a PC emulator, or get a 3DS or 2DS and get a copy of SM64 DS...sadly, the N64 is pretty low resolution, and doesn't look well on modern TV's. (but if you need a new hobby to funnel another $1000 or so into, go ahead!).

    Mistakes will be made

    We are never old, those of us "young at heart" lol. Honestly, the thing I never understood about aging was how, even as your body starts (& continues) crapping out, your mind still stays "young"... And for the record, I was [REDACTED] when Super Mario 64 was released, but it really is a classic!

    Trading Traderoutes

    Nice! I'll raise your graph with another graph...just a quickie ;) There are a lot of interesting ideas in trading, like, "How to make the best trades?" It actually is something of a linear optimization problem (depending on your defiinition of "best"). In any case, most people are likely to try...

    You can buy one of the showdown ships for a limited time

    Also worth noting you don't have to spend real money on ships -- ship rentals are coming soon! Somebody put together a spread sheet of the hypothesized rental prices, based on what CIG was saying: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F56ZCKsh1JKYfvh6eQrwfyAvNifj2ShrQ7P4PDL2T-Q/edit#gid=0

    Anyone here familiar with the Med Board process for military?

    That sounds like our NCIS. That stuff in the TV show was BS, if you wanted a screwed-up investigation, you called the NCIS.

    RSI Mantis reveal

    well, I'm not sure I agree. The document also describes how you could have several Mantises (Mantii?) working to gether to interdict a larger area of space. Also, don't forget about the Quantum Dampening. If I wanted to be more precise, I would hang out by a trading outpost and wait for a fat...

    RSI Mantis reveal

    From the Newsweek article: "When you release the charge it will be anywhere between 10,000 to 20,000 meters to start. It generates a sphere that will pull anyone that happens to be quantum traveling through the sphere out. This includes AI and players. When you do pull them out you'll leave the...

    Interdictor class ship?

    Don't forget a Valkyrie or 2 for the boarding party! I would think you would want to take the ship you want, and then rapidly quantum away, while your rear party kept interdicting the escorts until you were all safely away.

    Anyone here familiar with the Med Board process for military?

    The other issue besides passing a PT test is, "can you deploy?" Somebody I knew was getting ready to go over seas with their unit (National Guard) and failed the screen for concussions or whatever it is. They then got evaluated and were diagnosed with some concussion disorder thing +...

    Anyone here familiar with the Med Board process for military?

    Glad to hear it got better! Like I said, it was ass-backward stupid back in the day...

    Anyone here familiar with the Med Board process for military?

    Like @Mushin said, check with your legal aid folks, and check with the DAV and American Legion. My memory (from almost (yikes) 30 years ago) was that TECHNICALLY it was NOT an adversarial process so you aren't entitled to representation, but...you bet your ass it was adversarial, in that they...

    Helmets, lots of helmets

    Yep, CIG made those helmets knowing they could get over 18,000 easy sales from TEST members.

    Anthem game as a service abandons roadmap.

    I totally agree with @Lorddarthvik ... Jim Sterling had a great analogy his video about Anthem (with more explanation in his video about Microsoft): Basically, way back in 2010 and earlier, when you bought a video game, you got the whole thing. Now, when you buy a "game as a service", you are...

    Anthem game as a service abandons roadmap.

    According to the rumors swirling around this, they appear to be pulling Bioware resources now to devote them to Dragon Age 4, which will borrow Anthem's code base, as well as the game-as-a-service model. Buh-bye to another great studio & IP!
