  1. I've been lurking here for quite some time already, but you might see more of me again in times to come. Glad to see many familiar faces around here!
  2. Whoa, look at that, a green tag!

      Yup, I think the rest of the moderation team felt that by making me a moderator, they'd be forcing me to behave better... :D

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's a good take on it!

      Well, I'm proud. Behavior or no behavior, I'd say you've helped people a lot

  3. Congrats on the moderator position ;) Used to the thousand buttons and dials yet?

      Getting there.... I wasn't told I was mod before I saw all the buttons.  Confused me for a minute..

  4. When I was learning PowerBI, my first project was re-watching the entirety of X-files and track on a spreadsheet, for each episode: a 5 star rating, a theme and mood (e.g., "Conspiracy/Action"), how many aliens appeared, whether it was myth arc or not, and human/alien/offscreen body counts (which I took from a blog rather than counting myself). A few episodes have previously-assumed deceased characters reappearing, that messed up some things... It turns out, I really love the drama episodes. Monster-of-the-Week, only if they're silly episodes (and the one with Bruce Campbell in it BECAUSE BRUCE CAMPBELL). And the decline post 5th season is ~palpable. I also once made a spaceship spreadsheet, but I accounted for things like heat generation, solar panel mass, energy generation efficiency, everything I could scavenge from the much beloved Atomic Rockets website.

  6. The Canadian U.F.O. has returned both it's abductees, eh?
  7. Why, yes, it has. Hi there, Winky! User below me has played more than a couple hundred hours KSP.
  8. Wow, lead moderator now :)

      Cower before me, puny mortal! You shall rue the day you heard my name! ;)

  9. That proof is only valid because you assume there are finite primes, and take X+1 where X is the product of all of them. So, (X+1) has to be a prime, not just because it isn't a multiple of the primes you multiplied, but also because there aren't any other primes you could divide it by. If (X-1) is a lesser prime than (X+1), it renders the demonstration of the existence of (X+1) as a prime incorrect. (Of course, the original demonstration isn't that X+1 is a prime, it's that's an absurd you could have finite many primes, so the question of whether (X+1) actually is or isn't a prime isn't really a question at all...)
  10. Been considering re-installing this and seeing where it's at.... but OH GOD the list of games I've bought over the years (since I first played KSP, to be exact) and never played is STILL SO DAMN HUEG.

      I have 47 Steam-games; I've never played 5 of them. They came as bundled games where I only wanted one title in the three-pack.

      I just bought an Eidos pack with... I dunno, some... thirty games?  :confused: All Tomb Raiders I can think of except for Shadow; all Thief...s. Thieves? Thievs. Sprinkle some Deus Exes. Plus a crapton I'm not even interested in or maybe heard of in the first place, but the price, the price.

  11. YOU'RE ALIVE???

      I am also surprised and delighted to see you return RIC, although perhaps without as much of the enthusiasm of Monstah :P . Nevertheless, it's good to see you again and I hope your time away from the forum was a good one.

  12. I've left, for reasons. These last few days, tho, I've been lurking back, for reasons. The former reasons are personal. I've half-stated them on the forum before leaving, but they go deeper and some of it still lingers. The latter reasons... are out of the scope of this forum to discuss, but if you know the kind of person that I am, and if you know where I am, you can figure it out yourself. But, because of them, my life is in a really dark place right now. And, so, I've been browsing here and reminiscing. And I've just come across this: And it hits a heavy note, because I'm a grown man, and I don't feel safe. I'm terrified for my life, and for my friends'. But, it also hit a light note, because it reminded me of all the people here. And of how this is a nice, warm place to be (even tho, at the time of my leaving, things were... agitated). I've just had a quick chat with one of my buddies from here, and again, thanks, man. I needed that. I mean, it's not like I'm alone. I've got friends, a loving wife. I'm lucky that my family hasn't broken apart. We've talked about... things. It's just like.... we're all alone together, you know? And I think I needed this contact with someone who isn't here, who can see things from the outside, who could give me some fresh air. I don't know whether I'll be a regular forum user again, of if I'll just lurk around, but know this: I've been here, and your love healed me a bit. @The_Cat_In_Space, bullying is a horrible thing. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with it. I'm so happy to hear you feel safe here, makes me proud of my former moderator days, my colleagues who're still at it, the community as a whole, and of what we've built here. Isn't this a nice place?
  13. Down, down, dog!

     

     

     

     

     

    Hey, bud! :) Real life is going through some dark times, so I'm just taking a look around here and reminiscing to escape reality a bit. Cheers!

      Hey! Sorry to hear that things aren't going too well. :(

      I sent you a few things on Hangouts, but I never heard back. HMU if you wanna talk- I do!

      Hangouts? Is that the Google thingie? I keep my Gmail open, but I honestly don't know how it integrates with things...

  14. Hi, friend! Just passing by to look at things. Don't suppose I'll stay, but.. hi!

      Hey, buddy! I do hope you hang around.

  15. Hello, everyone. So. Life updates!

    I haven't played KSP since last time I saw you. Actually, I uninstalled it for the first time in years. I'll probably take at least a year of time out from it, which is fine considering I'd been playing it almost nonstop for some five years.

    I have a new job: I now do BI for a (big) insurance broker (which is opening up for other products). I knew nothing of insurance before this, so I'm doing homework all day long. At first I thought I couldn't access the forum even if I wanted to, but recently I discovered the company has both a Corporate and a Pesonal wi-fi networks, and I can use the Personal without a firewall. That means I might be around here more often that I thought at first :) (I may not feel the same about the game as I once did, but know this: I miss the forum. You guys are in my heart)

     Unlike my previous job, however, I've been busy the whole friggin' day, and I get home tired as hell. I used to moderate from work, now I can barely catch my Feed. Also, I'm now co-worker with a childhood friend, and that's pretty damn awesome.

    My wife's employed again, after a year without a job. She's teaching classes at a university! So, between that and my slightly improved paycheck, our household income has increased by some 110%, which is great for our plans of building our new house.

     

    I guess that's it for now! Hope you guys are doing fine.

    Just read that there's an 1.4.3 coming up, I'm crossing my fingers you get a product you can call "THE game". 1.3.2 was so close to being it, in my opinion! 1.4.0 was a big let down to me, but I wouldn't have left the forum if not for a combination of factors including changes in my personal life. Even if I never play KSP again, it was a big part of my life, and I think you guys deserve a definitive edition, just like the game itself deserves to be in a worthy shape of a larger market.

      (also, I'm constantly reminded of you guys: the company I'm at divides its work-force in... Squads. And, by that, I mean: we use the actual English word for it. What the hell, right?)

      Love ya monstah :wink: And that's fantastic to hear about you plans! Everyone needs a break at times, good to hear from you again. :)

      Just came by to see if I could figure out why I haven't seen ya around much.  Sucks to see you take a sorta hiatus, but glad things are turning so well for you! 

      Hope to still see you around, and I hope 1.4.8 is everything you need when you get a chance to come back!

  16. No, man, it's not just you. I've been seeing so many problems, in fact, I don't even want to play this game anymore. I'm this sad with it, and have been so for a while now. So, this is it. Good-bye, everyone! It's been a good run, I've had a lot of fun, both with the game and with you guys, but I just can't anymore. @Vanamonde, @Snark, @Dman979, @Deddly, @TheKosmonaut, @Val, @luizopiloto, @Ten Key, @Darth Badie, @UomoCapra, and all the others at Squad and the moderation team: it has been an honor working alongside you. You're great people, you know you are. @adsii1970, @WinkAllKerb'', @NSEP, @tetryds, @5thHorseman, @GoSlash27, @LitaAlto, @regex, @tater and everyone else: there were ups and downs, but to me this has always been a great community, and thanks to you. Keep up! @Red Iron Crown, @Starhawk: I hope you're still out there, somewhere. Damn Canadian UFOs, give us back our friends! >:( Really hope wish this game one day becomes the game it promises to be. Maybe I'll return, then! Until then, love. o7
  17. I wasn't even aware this was still alive, so to me it's off to a great start
  18. Not seen it, not read it, not intending to do either, but, maybe it was about royalties? Considering what it's about, I wouldn't be surprised. That's a seriously nerd rant, bro!
  19. It's run with the kOS mod, you should first check out this thread and learn how to use it:
  20. Haven't used the parts yet, but I feel the same way about the missions. Also, the interface to display the mission goals is... not the best by a long shot, IMO.
  21. Last night I watched "Annihilation" on Netflix. I knew nothing about it, and I'm so glad it was so (for reasons). I really, really liked it.
  22. Ah, yes. Silly me. Well, thanks for posting, I've been looking all over the forum for them
