I wonder if they do the static fire tests to find the last tiles that were not installed correctly... [10:23:49] hehe [10:23:57] you could just shake it for that [10:27:49] shake it baby [10:36:37] duke nukem [10:46:57] alright [10:46:59] i should go to the store [10:47:04] someone help me get up [10:47:41] just downlaod what you want [10:47:57] lol [10:48:48] "you wouldnt download food, would you?" :) [10:51:06] I would [10:51:13] but my replicator is broken :( [10:51:19] exactly [10:51:32] if i do the production, they should get just minimal licence fees for the design [10:51:49] It's wet and cold and cloudy and foggy outside. The perfect weather to not wanting to go outside. [10:52:03] doesnt look nice here either [10:52:53] and no sunshine forecasted for next week [10:52:56] here outside looks like land the sun forgot [10:53:09] But starlink in 80 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtmtP4vouSY [10:53:19] "The land the sun forgot" sounds like a book title. [10:53:21] dark as dusk at 3 pm lol (its very dark at 3 am now) [10:53:28] mat probably is [10:55:30] the duck doesn't find anything related. You came up with the title, I'm waiting for the book now. :D [10:55:40] lol [10:55:49] hehe [10:55:56] you have to write it then [10:56:08] google does come up with few links [10:56:14] could be the life of people on an antarctic research station [10:56:23] or a long night on a moon base [10:56:27] lmost talking about uk and some areas in usa thats common to rain a lot [10:56:51] or fantasy type book where sun was magiked away [10:57:13] or even about people living underground [11:58:14] stream on [11:59:16] Action: flayer goes to the bathroom to create a stream [12:00:26] hehe [12:01:34] don't cross the streams [12:01:44] no sound? [12:02:29] i dont want the sound of flayer's stream [12:02:36] otherwise there is music playing [12:03:07] oh, wait, wrong output device. :D [12:03:26] so homophobic [12:05:10] nice fog [12:05:17] looks like launching from the clouds [12:15:36] T-60 sec [12:32:29] sad [12:32:40] I hoped I could make the joke: I can see my fog from here! [12:33:46] almost [14:24:21] zombie but it is apex [15:47:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:00:31] apparently outcast 1.1 is free on gog [17:36:43] outcast is and always will be a masterpiece of games [17:47:41] wait, do i even have 1.1? [17:47:52] if they automatically upgraded the old then i have [17:48:02] ah yes, in library [18:01:06] I stopped supporting GOG when they basically abandoned their commitments to linux and being DRM-free [18:02:53] understandable [18:06:12] gotta vote with the wallet, right? :P [18:08:15] but what else remains? there is of course steam, then epic [18:10:30] itch, anyway [18:10:39] pretty much just steam. there's lutris, but i haven't really used it much [18:11:02] itch too, yeah, and i'm actually a big fan of it; lot of good indie games out there. [19:57:06] SporkWitch: not according to apple [20:23:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:25:11] I only use Steam and I hate it when a game wants me to register an account elsewhere [20:25:48] especially if updates are done through the game's launcher and not steam [20:25:51] had to do that for GTA V and Elite Dangerous. If I had known (or researched) in advance, I probably would not have bought those [20:27:54] you need a launcher for your launcher [20:28:37] hah, "am bee" [20:28:46] does anyone use the "KSP Launcher"? :) [20:28:50] Ah, yes, AmBe neutron sources [20:29:05] packbart: people who don't know that you can/should run the exe directly I think [20:29:09] lol why would i use the launcher [20:29:15] it is a useless thing [20:30:45] ckan can launch KSP. Which means it is a launcher. [20:30:47] :D [20:30:49] I wrote a .desktop file to launch /home/bernhard/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal\\ Space\\ Program/KSP.x86_64 from the menu. [20:30:51] i couldnt update for years, and now there is nothing to update to, even if it worked [20:31:11] i just pinned it on the taskbar [20:31:20] darsie: steam doesn't do that automagically? [20:31:21] requires two clicks [20:31:32] umaxtu: Yes, but with that weird steam launche. [20:31:33] r [20:32:21] darsie: I have a deskop icon for KSP (two, actually, another one for KSP/JNSQ) [20:32:24] making .desktop files is a PITA. [20:32:46] and defining mime types so mc opens files with the program I want. [20:33:01] I just dragged the .EXE to the desktop and made it a "shortcut" [20:33:03] I just use a menu editor [20:33:24] I didn't find a menu editor in xfce. [20:33:33] Maybe I'd have to install one. [20:33:58] it exists [20:34:05] ah, right. on the Linux Laptop, I cd into the KSP directory (I only have the Steam installation there) [20:34:10] forgot how to get it though lol (not install) [20:34:17] I use a Wndows PC for Games [20:34:31] I use windows to look out [20:34:31] I abstain from Windows. [20:34:48] well, I did want to play Elite and Tomb Raider Shadow [20:35:15] (I heard that Elite probably runs under Wine, too, though) [20:35:20] stained windows are for churches, so fair enough [20:35:22] menulibre works ok on my desktop running gnome. on my laptop which uses kde, that functionality is included [20:35:46] but my Laptop only has a 10yr old GPU, the Windows PC got the 2080S [20:36:37] how do people get latops to last so long? I've never had one last more than 4 years [20:37:18] well, the Keyboard is starting to act up a bit [20:38:03] it's a Dell Precision M4500. it was high-end when it was new (I got it handed down from the graphics department years later) [20:38:17] oh ok. that explains it. [20:38:38] business machines definitely seem to be built to higher standards [20:41:36] quad-i7 (Q 840 @ 1.87GHz), 16GB RAM, NVidia Quadro FX 1800M [20:42:01] and by now a 1TB SSD [20:42:31] have you started shopping yet? [21:25:34] yep, just returned from the supermarket. oh you meant a new laptop? :) [21:25:48] lol [21:26:28] nah, I couldn't really decide on one yet. I probably could badger my employer for a new one. but which one? :) [21:26:40] framework of course. [21:26:46] it's probably going to be another Dell [21:27:07] nah, I saw one of those and wasn't impressed [21:27:40] they're "feel-good" but not really good quality. ymmv [21:28:24] in what way? [21:29:21] the hardware was wobbly. I only got to play with it for a bit (someone at the local makerspace bought one) [21:29:32] as I said, ymmv. I might be wrong [21:29:43] but I like Dell, anyway [21:30:19] the only bad Dell Laptop I had was one with the fail-designed NVidia chip that would desolder itself. the board was replaced 3 times under warranty [21:31:31] (with next-business day on-site support, so a technician came to visit and replaced the board) [21:33:08] handy [21:38:15] for now my stationary old laptop is still good enough. the battery is dead, so I just keep it on a table at home [21:53:26] umaxtu: steam version defaults to disabling the launcher [21:54:01] Action: raptop is forced to conclude that the steam version is doing something right
