[03:50:47] it would be cheaper to just build a microATX-based PC I think. [03:54:20] found a good case for $30 [04:31:43] ... [04:32:27] pinned engine tweakable... took kerbal out on eva. Can still fiddle with thrust limiter... [04:32:37] bug or feature? (I know some of you going to say 'yes') [04:33:02] Add: kerbal isn't even near the craft (30meters away) [04:33:35] Bugeature [04:33:39] Featug [04:33:41] accidental feature [04:34:13] https://thegeekwhisperer.com/2009/09/24/bug-vs-feature/ [04:34:19] I meant to do recording today.. dozed off instead. [04:34:45] blowing some time before having to give room mate a ride out to work. Figured I'd take jeb out on a jaunt to the tree on the K2 peak [04:36:22] game running.. noticed jeb slowly sliding down the hill towards the cliff... eep [04:40:26] anyways... wee pulling 12 gees in wingless craft [05:14:43] KSP gonna eat all my RAM again [05:14:48] nom nom [05:22:16] wew [05:22:17] https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCZuDQkMA5GF3Jh29ElK3-uQ/live [05:22:21] heh [05:36:02] cant watch it now [05:36:41] k [05:36:56] I meant to go do a recording... shower pretty much knocked me out much of the evening [05:37:40] did you shower with lead balls? [05:37:55] hot shower... moods [05:37:59] sleepy [05:41:15] knocked you out, haha [05:48:11] a bit.. but now I gotta go drive roommate out to work for overnight shift... sleep time in camper again. [05:48:48] lates [06:14:09] weeeee [06:26:11] hmmm [07:04:50] well, that... could have been worse [07:04:53] 3 days without power [07:05:25] (still had running water and gas, and the weather wasn't /too/ hot) [07:09:27] oh man [07:09:32] still sounds rough [07:12:04] It was. I couldn't work (my "office" is at home) [07:12:21] All I could do was read programming books, and only during the day. [07:12:32] do you have a backup generator? [07:12:40] no [07:12:41] not that it would help for Internet access, I suppose [07:13:05] it might have, because while my UPS was up, we still had phone [07:13:16] (fiber modem and phone uses that) [07:13:44] (have the modem and my firewall (tiny 10W server) on the UPS) [07:14:16] sounds like a small generator might be a good investment [07:15:09] Yeah, I'm considering it. [07:17:49] however, thanks to biolite campstove, batteries and solar panel, was able to keep cellphones charged :) [07:17:55] You get any flooding taniwha [07:18:06] no, though the river is slightly full [07:18:27] can't help thinking of the people trapped in KIX, though [07:20:05] Typhoon Jebi...

[14:26:12] my room smells like resin [14:26:23] I hoçuld take the big box with the fiberglass and resin pots somewhere else [14:27:06] With a mother ship in orbit for refueling.

[14:29:28] Does KSP flag a game a cheated if I cheat? Like testing a lander with the set orbit function? [14:30:14] i have never heard of that [14:30:16] IRL I'd considering it a simulation. [14:30:17] k [14:30:26] consider* [14:30:29] the only game i knew it did that was descent, it zeroed your score [14:50:08] loads of games flag your game if you used cheats [14:51:04] since there is no simulation mode it better does not do that [14:51:13] in more modern games, it usually leads to disabling of achievements [14:52:07] and inability to be listed in highscores [14:52:09] and stuff [14:53:40] in that sense, "using mods" is often put on the same level as "cheating" [14:54:25] many make the game harder [14:54:56] yes, but you as game developer cannot really decide that for arbitrary user mods [14:56:13] you would need a QA department just for cheking through mods to see whether they provide hidden cheats [14:56:34] to whitelist them [14:56:42] as "achievement eligible" [15:11:39] since there is no simulation mode it better does not do that <-- You could use a sandbox (?) game to test stuff for you career game. [15:11:55] i used to do that [15:12:04] vut even in sandbox t here is no simulation mode [15:12:32] so at best you can revert, or rather reload for a complicated mission [15:12:37] It simulates a full tech tree. And you can place ships. [15:12:44] no you cant [15:12:47] unless you use chets [15:13:08] Well, it's in the stock game? Or is that from a mod? [15:13:34] doesnt matter, it is still labelled as cheat by the game [15:13:38] yeah [15:14:00] simulation and practice is a huge part of all space missions [15:14:11] the game simply does not support that in any way [15:14:13] anyone want to hear the nicest music I found in a while [15:14:14] But if you use it in sandbox it's not cheating for the career game. [15:15:04] that is a loophole [15:15:13] Fluburtur: No, thx, using your taste is cheating. [15:15:20] lmao [15:15:30] :) [15:15:36] also it still doesnt solve the missing simulation mode [15:15:45] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4QYLO9nrgU [15:15:45] YouTube - BroniKoni - Runaway Princess [Pop Rock] [15:15:48] we cant even use the wind tunnel in the science complex [15:15:58] yet it is clearly visible [15:16:41] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:17:06] Althego: Looks like there are two of them. [15:17:35] Or what are you referring to? [15:17:50] The smaller one? [15:17:53] i see only one [15:18:06] The longer ones have a constriction. [15:18:37] there's two basic things i'm missing in the game. a) a "test" mode instead of "launch", where i can put a vehicle in a location, run some mission part, and game reverts back to start on exit [15:18:40] ahh, that one. [15:19:01] The rectangular one with rectangular crosssection. [15:19:03] and b) a "mission planner" where i can set a launch time and maneuver nodes before launch [15:19:19] Deddly have you seen the latest photo of my plane?

[15:25:53] i found that out after years too :) [15:26:06] when i looked at the science buildings a little bit more [15:26:10] i don't think i ever had the level 3 research building yet [15:26:25] yes it is not visible on the earlier versions [15:26:47] but it is clearly there in the fully researched [15:28:25] eh reds on non sequitur again, i realized it is 3 in the morning. ok then i can watch it after the live eating my breakfast [15:31:14] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:35:27] Hmm, I brought two surface samples from Duna, but the science archives show only one. [15:36:03] did you store them in the same cabin? [15:36:53] no, different flights. [15:37:02] strange [15:37:14] that should have worked, unless they are from the same biome [15:37:29] then you just increase the bar a little instead of addign a new one [15:38:28] same biome [15:38:41] ok [15:40:10] lowlands? [15:40:26] or whatever the lowest altitude biome is [15:40:46] midland sea. Pretty low, too. [15:41:06] And a nice long stretch on the equator. [15:41:14] yes i thought so [15:41:20] that is the best landing site [15:41:32] you can miss by half a planet and still land safely [15:41:52] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/424254936415469580/487538638608138240/1536290601.jpg [15:42:15] wasnt it called thomas the tank engine? [15:46:49] Althego: Yeah, bar raised, 60+ science. [15:49:48] they should have picked Dora [15:50:10] thomas the tank angine with his girlfriend dora [15:51:18] well, it's another name for the same thing [15:51:49] no. just as data is dayta and not dahta [15:57:11] no, i meant the Dora/Gustav thing [16:06:59] (also, i'm not sure how well the dayta/dahta thing actually survived the translation) [16:08:06] i cant remember. but i practically saw all star trek in german [16:08:52] it doesn't sound like a scene i would have found memorable back then, anyway [16:17:29] so the last days I have spent a significant fraction of my time watching youtube videos on gas masks [16:17:39] hehe [16:17:45] what did you learn from this? [16:18:57] mostly that you should be aware of asbestos in old, especially soviet filters [16:19:43] lol it saves you from immediate danger then kills you with cancer later [16:20:04] sounds like a thing the military will do [16:30:29] Eddi|zuHause, or politicians [16:39:00] or... amoral corporations [16:56:07] https://www.space.com/41749-elon-musk-living-in-simulation-rogan-podcast.html [16:57:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:00:22] If we are living in a simulation, I think the alien controlling me fell asleep at the keyboard for the past few decades.
