    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Here's the thing: trump isn't being a qanon threat. He's trying to act like a mob boss, and the qanon folks are taking advantage of the fact that by default trump quietly threatens people and organizations because of how he does business. As for qanon itself: yeah, they are a threat, even if...

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    So, the groundside missions that aren't explicitly combat don't pay very well: but I am having fun doing them... except when the mission doesn't actually spawn the required item. Cause that's apparently still a thing. I was thinking of basing out of the current station, bringing my eagle in...

    Mental Health and Suicide

    So, dad was told that once the heart monitor came off, he could go home. Turns out that was a lie. Hasn't had it on since friday, they removed all the infrastructure for it on saturday, and the nurses are saying he's not stable enough... despite being qualified as autonomous and not having any...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    He can't really, strictly speaking, sell any of the royal accoutrements anyway, since most of it was stolen from the far flung regions of the empire. The africans, indians and natives of the carribean would very much like THEIR precious gems, metals and linens back. But hey, so long as we're...

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    That'll either happen or it won't. It's not like it's make or break for me, cause I've already passed through (and thankfully, bookmarked.) a couple of stations that sell stuff like mambas and chieftains. Edit: CONFIRMED! The missions from station services in your ship and the missions from...

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    The new UI lets me keep looking at the krait, but I've yet to find a place to buy it. Cause the shipyards now show all the vessels in the game, including all the ones NOT for sale at that location. Because I wanted a canadian shopping simulator baked into my ******* space life sim. Also, I was...

    Star Trek Lower Decks

    They launched the projector EMITTER into space, but we never really saw the inside, physical underpinnings. So no real confirmation there isn't a spinny bit.

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    DO NOT SWING IN WITH THE SHIP. At least not a keelback kitted for cargo. I got shot down. Thankfully, 14 million plus banked, so the 1/4 million buy back was fine, but still a harsh loss. But... 14 million, and combat is calling. So I wandered out in search of a good, actually entry level...

    Which is, in and of itself, a strange event.

    Mental Health and Suicide

    Okay, so... brief update. Dad is out of the room with the broken toilet, finally, because he complained enough about the literal dementia patient in the bed next to him that had screaming fits every two hours. EVERY two hours. And he got the dental cleaning he needed, but he still can't have...

    Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"

    I didn't consider it that way. They might have actually been trying to get rid of him. It's a large scale, space faring society: they might have already HAD someone come back from the future and warn about the horror of it all. They might have been pushing to create conditions in which they...

    ADVENTURES IN ODESSEY! OR! Dying like a goon, on foot, cold and alone. So: With everything properly configured to play, I decided: what the hell, let's go for it. I bought a half million in combat equipment, picked up a mission, and off I went. As my keelback is diving into the gravity well...

    Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"

    You're assuming they wanted or needed to solve the problem in the first place. They might have just gotten used to the whole "kinda time travel" thing and built it into their economy.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    How bad to things have to be before the people who simply don't care, finally care? Fascism, apparently.

    Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"

    It probably WAS pitched as an original IP, but they figured there was better money to be had rebranding it as buzz lightyear.

    I know that brand, but isn't the name wrong? The weird world of international branding

    Provigo's store brand is literally "no name". It's kind of hilarious, cause all the packaging across the no name line is ******* identical, and there's no exaggeration or flourish in content description. Cheap as hell but surprisingly high quality.

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    Okay, so I also sprung for odyssey given it was half off. Here's my initial impressions: You get what appears to be a movie and quickly transitions into FPS gameplay when you first load. This is meant to introduce you to the new content. Despite being on keyboard and mouse (and operating...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    You've had decades, what have you done to make the world better? But at least you, dennis, can make up for all of it in one action, and remember: it's down the street, not across the road.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Considering the things they accuse the democrats of doing and being... You know, it's really trying to be the bigger person when it's literal monsters on the other side. Shame is probably the best way to deal with bullies, but psychopaths don't feel shame.

    Elite Dangerous: because when you aren't alone, they want to kill you.

    Okay, so, 4.0 for PC just dropped. It brings a lot of the GUI, graphical updates and special effects to horizons that odyssey has. If you find it hard to read the fonts in your cockpit, turn off bloom and FSR to "normal" or "off". Mostly fixes it. Not as sharp as before, but goes from painfully...
