[08:29:35] sometimes they do free givaways [08:29:53] usually not for really good games though :) [08:30:09] Well, I refuse to buy ksp again. [08:31:53] i would buy prototype on gog again [08:32:42] because no drm and it would work on win10. i have it on disk, and because of drm it doesnt work. as usual, drm hurts the people who bought it, and doesnt who didnt [08:33:05] i cant get rid of the old win7 pc because of this [10:04:42] I'm bored. [10:04:46] launching ksp [10:05:08] boring company [10:05:10] *yawn* [10:18:48] I took "Test Ant landed on Kerbin", but on the launchpad the contract was gone and in KSC I could no longer click on buildings. [10:18:55] restart, contract gone. [10:19:38] hehe magical disappearing contract [10:20:08] I also didn't autocomplete. It's not in the finished contracts. [10:20:32] gonna put a sat in Mun orbit. [10:25:06] https://i.ibb.co/rxqgsMB/screenshot467.png [10:25:29] hehe, why is it upside down? [10:25:39] takes a bit less space [10:26:00] Yes, smaller fairing :) [10:26:35] you already have gravioli detector, at that point it shouldnt be an issue [10:26:52] I just added that for this contract. [10:27:07] Still saves mass. [10:27:41] Making the fairing pointer could save drag. [10:27:52] pointier [10:33:32] https://youtu.be/OMDQzITWJyU?t=55 [10:33:35] needs to be pointy [10:37:30] :) [11:50:18] There are no AN/DN markers. How am I gonna know how to fix my inclination? :) https://i.ibb.co/5Tk2NXR/screenshot469.png [11:53:52] but in the orbit thingie on the bottom left there should be stil la number [11:54:22] and doesnt matter you can do it by looks too [11:55:29] That just tells me 51.2° inclination. [11:55:46] But I was jk. I aligned it very well on approach. [11:56:38] do you need eq or polar? [11:56:55] jk is better than sr :) [11:57:25] sr? [11:57:38] flip flops obviously [11:57:42] (or a specific inclination in degrees?) [11:57:51] prefixcactus: inclined satellite orbit. [11:58:18] Ahh, teh contract asks for 52 deg. [11:58:22] well, you *are* in one right now... [11:58:43] and that's not far from what you need, so um [11:58:44] the contract usually asks for a specific orbit [11:59:16] It's just that usually there are AN/DN markers. [11:59:22] I don't remember if the contracts specify how it should be inclined relative to the stars [11:59:46] I'll do 52.0 deg ... [11:59:47] (probably not, I don't think KSP has any usable global astronomy [12:00:26] global astronomy? [12:02:09] er, as in, the stars in the background are just a skybox that's not very usable for any absolute attitude measurements [12:02:41] Umm ... s/51.2/52.1/. I'm off by 0.1 deg. [12:02:44] but we use the stars exactly like that [12:03:28] and I don't think KSP considers absolute attitude a thing anyways in the "player space" outside of the engine [12:04:49] Althego: well you can probably ensure the ship is not rotating when you don't want it to by looking out the window [12:06:38] but as far as I know I couldn't look out the window and say "oh, Eve is in Kerbicorn now, so I'm around midcourse now [12:09:41] Ahh, now I have AN/DN. Probably needed to be closer to the orbit. [12:10:10] maybe it doesn't draw them for escape trajectories? [12:17:52] Done. 334 m/s left. [12:21:45] i think it doesnt draw them from escape if they are outside of the soi [13:36:14] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:17:21] oh i almost forgot about the starlink launch [15:17:25] !nela [15:17:28] Althego => Falcon 9 - Starlink-24 - Wed Apr 07, 2021 16:34:00 UTC (L-01:15:14) - https://rocketlaunch.live/launch/starlink-24 for info/stream [15:17:45] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy9Jn-3vuPs [16:14:27] music started [16:24:36] almost forgot, too [16:24:41] thanks for the reminder [16:32:02] t-1 min [16:33:14] going up [16:36:14] hey, where is the built in view [16:36:37] this sucks [16:41:49] at least it landed [16:42:44] yay [16:43:11] could still explode [16:43:16] hehe [16:43:26] yes spacex showed they can land and still make it explode [16:45:36] Rapid unscheduled relaunch [16:49:48] hehe [16:50:08] what is this, mixed snow and rain... stop it, i want warmth [16:51:42] well, it stopped [16:51:47] but still not warm [16:53:09] Action: raptop blames 418 ppm [16:56:28] yes might be [16:56:36] winter is never cold but lingers longer [17:00:41] Action: raptop has had some weeks with 35 F days and 75 F days [17:03:54] raptop: a renomated German weather expert said that the cold this time is not unusual and not part of climate change [17:04:31] I still like to differ, because it is again a polar stream of cold air that escaped the polar vortex, which is getting weaker and weaker [17:04:39] but well, I didn't study this [17:08:28] hrm [17:13:17] *renowned [17:13:20] btw... [17:13:43] and you didn't correct me! :( [17:17:56] Action: darsie watched the F9 launch. The second stage seemed to ride the Ap. Was it tilted up? [17:17:58] relight coming up [17:18:17] snowing in space :) [17:18:59] another question, what is that hair color [17:19:44] light purple? [17:19:59] yes maybe [17:20:20] i couldnt decide it was the camerea or real [17:20:24] The second stage seemed to ride the Ap. Was it tilted up? [17:21:02] ask them to supply us with a navball next time [17:21:23] at t+6:34 [17:21:40] and here it is. snow [17:21:53] big and fluffy flakes [17:22:02] didnt snow like this the whole winter [17:22:36] and the weather was on a good track when that sudden cold came in. predictions got worse constantly [17:31:38] ever wondered why the Starlink sats are as flat as possible? [17:32:14] because they dont want to upset rushia? [17:32:50] maybe elon is secretly building an orbital mirror [17:32:58] it is going to be assembled from the sats [17:33:08] and make solar focues attacks against targets [17:33:54] no, much simpler [17:33:58] drag! [17:34:10] The flatter you are the better you can deal with that [17:34:45] a cube would probably deorbit in less than a year [17:35:59] the end is near! [17:36:04] I mean, the deployment. [17:36:05] deploy coming up [17:38:07] Satellites practice distancing, too. [17:42:38] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pL9vdpSvnY Lena - Satellite (Germany) Live 2010 Eurovision Song Contest [17:43:27] 2010 is live again? [17:43:32] oh no, did we circle back? [17:46:01] it's only 11 years ago?! I hoped for more. [17:46:07] I had successfully suppressed that. [17:46:42] could you link something from the marsvision song contest instead? [17:46:52] flayer, word is that Nvidia is making 1080tis again so we've gone back some [17:46:53] this is surprisingly good [17:47:52] oh, i have 1050 [17:48:27] now i am going to keep the 1070 until the next build [17:48:49] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBFjpnV9-sg Perseverance’s First Sounds from Mars [17:49:31] marsvision song contest is a dlc soundtrack for surviving mars [17:49:37] ah [17:49:55] quite generic pop though [17:50:26] I didn't get Surviving Mars because of critics. [17:50:29] but exactly what i would expect from sych a thing [17:51:00] critics, whatever. it is a really fun game for me [17:52:36] the best track is still in the base game, Xe [17:53:54] surviving mars is okay, but it gets old fast [18:10:36] it seems infinitely replayable to me [18:10:42] but of course ymmv [18:11:04] hehe, ollie said floor for flour, when asking about how bread was invented. just as kiara always says she ate a pair for pear [18:13:40] Action: raptop prounces pear and pair the same, I think. But not flour and floor [18:15:24] I pronounce pear like "peer"... [18:16:19] Though a lot of the time, it sounds like Ollie is speaking en-US [18:17:21] (as opposed to en-ID) [18:29:14] !stupid add "As all involved died in the explosion, the causes are not clear." [18:29:14] FLHerne: Added stupid quote: "As all involved died in the explosion, the causes are not clear." [18:29:48] I pronounce pear like pare, and peer like pier, and those are different [18:30:03] pare or pair [18:30:20] I used the paring knife on a pair of pears [18:30:54] So you pared the pair of pears? [18:31:22] :D [18:31:47] Do all foreigners pronounce "buoy" "boo-ey", or just the one person I was listening to? [18:31:56] (Just don't throw a jury of your peers off of a pier when they're peering over the edge) [18:32:08] FLHerne: ...I do [18:33:15] which DLCs should I get for Surviving Mars? [18:33:38] raptop: why? [18:33:44] FLHerne: I say "Boi", but I know what a Boje is... [18:33:51] There's clearly an 'o' in there [18:34:23] Oi [18:34:29] :D [18:34:46] FLHerne: the spelling? [18:34:54] Oh, wait, it's written: Oui [18:35:52] Action: raptop grew up >1000 km from the ocean, FWIW [18:36:39] darsie: the green planet if anything [18:36:43] whatever its name is [18:37:22] raptop: In English it's just "boy", which seems obvious to me [18:37:24] darsie: maybe space race too [18:37:28] ok [18:37:48] Digital deluxe or first colony edition? [18:38:00] "booie" just seems like a strange choice of pronunciation, but that's foreigners for you :p [18:38:10] It's all on discount on gog now. [18:38:12] darsie: you have to read them, these contain some dlcs [18:38:53] Action: flayer tickles Althego's chin [18:39:34] i'm exhausted [18:39:45] what is your exhausted velocity? [18:40:30] ...is Althego a cat now? [18:40:34] not sure how to quantify that [18:41:07] raptop: 600 km here. But when I first was at the sea it was love on the first sight. But I still don't live near it :( [18:43:42] hehe i dont even know my distance [18:43:46] why would i be a cat [18:45:12] Althego: trying to figure out why flayer was scratching your chin [18:45:17] ah [18:46:08] quite often there is no explanation for my doings on irc [18:49:08] I didn't realize FLHerne was a filthy KDE user /s [18:49:16] hehe [18:49:20] not necessarily [18:50:04] prejudice is predicated on stupid assumptions [18:50:25] nah, KDE is cool. [18:50:28] could be worse. could be a suse user too [18:51:03] whats wrong with reptileOS? [18:54:19] i've considered trying kde [18:54:32] but change is bad [18:55:08] its definitely in a more useable config out of the box. unlike GNOME [19:17:33] i don't remember if i did anything to gnome [19:18:31] heh, bluemarblescience's video about right the hand. this seriously hurt. right the hand is really bad even by flat earth standards. and they dont understand anything. but this is special [19:18:46] umaxtu: be careful what you say about KDE! [19:18:49] ;) [19:19:25] I'm currently Windows only so you can make fun of me for that [19:19:32] kentucky department of education? :) [19:20:07] nope, Kentucky Desktop Environment [19:21:08] Action: Mat2ch is freezing [19:21:13] so cold here [19:22:04] Kiara Dessert Environment [19:26:03] hehehe [19:26:12] stream in half an hour or so but io am going to sleep [19:36:02] Mat2ch, same here. we just got teleported back into winter [19:36:32] today we had spring temps, then sudden snow, then blue sky and warm sunshine, and now it's freezing and windy [19:37:53] so the heli flight is on sunday? [19:38:29] it needs to endure a few more days [19:43:13] deadmind: it's freezing cold here since Sunday and will only get better on Friday. [19:43:31] yes, went down to -4 [19:43:31] Cold polar air in the middle of summer would be nice. But not now... [19:43:41] probably lost some of this year's fruits too [19:43:46] like last year [19:44:19] Mat2ch: same. i assume we're both in central europe then [19:44:46] there is a cherry tree in our garden, it started blooming like 3 days ago :( [19:45:16] there is one front of a house, an ornamental one [19:45:19] not yet blooming [19:48:27] peak bloom! peak bloom! [19:48:51] Action: SteppeRaptop wonders if it'll be practical to check out the cherry trees in DC proper next year [19:50:52] frying bacon, square black one [19:55:55] deadmind: throw some blankets over it :D [19:56:57] well, I'm gonna say it now, so nobody can talk themselfs out of it: Soon climate change will destroy at least half of our crops and many will go and say: How could we have known that this would happen? [19:57:27] soudns realistic [19:57:42] Sadly yes. :( [19:58:00] I should invest in canned food. [19:58:22] i invested in mad max on gog [19:58:26] Althego: I got the First colony edition. [19:58:30] maybe i should play that this weekend [19:59:33] you get almost everything with that i think [20:05:27] heh there is some new buildings pack that i dont have [20:05:32] maybe i buy that later [20:05:36] but i really have to sleep [20:16:13] Surviving Mars ... Should I install all files, or start with just the basic game first? [20:16:35] install everything [20:16:38] dang, althego quit [20:16:38] it is a pretty simple game [20:16:38] thx [20:43:37] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:13:30] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
