I mean, 1.3.1 was so long ago that I don't even remember SSPX being around back then. Plus, so many base game features have been implemented since then that I genuinely don't understand why you'd stay on 1.3.1.

This reminds me, has there been any movement on the CKAN front?

Yeah, this is the kind of response I expected, but, like, there is a bare minimum of graphical fidelity that facilitates good gameplay. I.E., you can tell the difference between Kerbin and the Mun. Clouds are extraneous. Sure, they look pretty, but making them a priority for development over actual gameplay features (I do consider paintable parts a feature, because there's at least some utility to being able to colorcode things) is a bad investment of dev time and money. How many people say "damn, we didn't get colonies in KSP2, but at least we've got clouds!"? I'm in pretty much the same boat. Its a nice option to have at the end of the day, but as long as its purely optional, and implementing it doesn't distract from delivering on far more important features, I have no complaints. I'm running: 4 core i5 4460 (3.2GHz) GTX 1050 Ti (4GB VRAM), originally used stock Intel graphics 16GB of RAM (computer came installed with 12 for some reason, and that reason is its a Dell) One 1080p monitor One 2TB SSD (originally had one 1TB HDD, still kept as a backup drive) No VR Yes, I'm aware most of my hardware is basically a decade old. But that's why I don't have time for nonsense about "pwetty cwouds". inb4 "upgrade": I've been unemployed for 5 years, and will likely remain unemployed for the foreseeable future, so unless someone's gonna start an upgrade donation drive for me (which I'm not asking for, to be clear), an upgrade isn't really in the cards.

Its clouds. Its just friggin clouds. Its just fancy visuals that add no gameplay features and negatively impacts performance.

Yesterday, I was cooking something for the superb owl. Didn't realize I accidentally left a burner on my stove on unnecessarily until I had finished cooking entirely. But it was low enough that it didn't look warm at all. Good thing I generally tend to avoid touching burners at all, or I'd be left with weird burn marks and a funny not funny story.

In other news, if permission to use the parts is withdrawn, do you have any plans, or even just ideas, for what you'll do afterwards, @Pxtseryu?

Let me rephrase: there is no nuance that is favorable to the company's owner. I've looked at all the facts. I've heard all the stories, even the facts and the stories that disagree with me. Again, if you'd like to discuss specifics, my inbox is open.

To me, that sounds like an overly cynical and unnecessarily subjective way to say "someone took a stand on an issue in a way that I disagree with and it annoyed me, but I couldn't actually argue against it on its own merits". I mean, there's really no way to seriously rebut the "all the attacks are strawmen" and "there's nuance to be had" in this case without getting political, suffice it to say I have enough information to know there are very valid concerns and little to no nuance to be had in this case. If you'd like to discuss specifics, PM me.

I mean, without getting too specific on the politics side of the matter, I get it. The company's owner is saying and doing and promoting things the mod's developer finds abhorrent and harmful, both to their ethics and materially, in such a way that the developer no longer wants to signal boost the company owner's status. I know there has been criticisms of that line of thinking made about a certain German-American rocket scientist and a certain nation that was a big fan of putting tools on their flag, and while I acknowledge some validity to that viewpoint , there's a counterargument to be made that those things aren't happening in the here and now, while the company owner's harmful things are. I've always found the term "virtue signalling" as a perjorative to be odd. Like, oh no, someone has virtues they hold dear enough to be vocal about.

Try refreshing it?

Out of curiosity, what cases would they be?

I think this current conversation might be running up against this request: Besides, there's already a project for it:

Yeah, looks like what I've seen in the past.

I regularly interact with people who weren't even born by that point, who are old enough to legally drink. Yeah, self care is important.

Yeah, I was like, 9 back then, lol.

Yeah, IIRC, the mod's been like that since before KSP2 was even announced. I've never seen a true fix for it even though, IIRC, its been claimed multiple times. I don't think I've even tried using the chines in 5 years.

I think its fine for new players to use it, because if you're actually paying attention while its doing something like docking, you can learn the general procedure until you can try it manually. And I think we as a community should encourage that. I had to learn from a friend who explained it (and he learned by reading Buzz Aldrin's thesis as a flex), but it was honestly pretty intimidating to try for myself until I saw MJ doing it enough that I realized I could do it.

Probably in like, the parts of the state that might as well be eastern Texas anyways. Like Shreveport. Besides, Louisiana has our own regional grocery store (Rouses), and its already colonizing out to the Florida panhandle. Depending on where you live, getting paid as a family caregiver may not be that easy (I've been trying for 4 years, keep getting run around and sent dead end "helpful" links that aren't actually helpful at all). Yeah, I think it might be a generational thing, because I was a 00s kid, and at least for my age group, cussing in general isn't seen as a big deal, even around adult-ier adults. Like, cussing at people is still rude, but around them is not even a second thought unless there's an actual child nearby.

That's why I wish the "AI" answering thing on my phone had an option to change the introductory message, because even legitimate callers don't understand that I'm using it as a call screener, and just hang up.

Sometimes, some people run out all possible reasonable doubt that reasonable people are willing to offer. And all who are left to give the benefit of the doubt are unreasonable people, or those who haven't been paying attention, or the uninformed.

Cut down the middle hamburger or hot dog? Because Airplane Plus already has hamburger, IIRC.

Would you consider adding it to CKAN?

You mistakenly presume I was implying the forum is a positive asset for the buyers. "we have a forum" wasn't a selling point. It was a matter of "We're looking to sell everything associated with Private Division, including the entire KSP IP, and that includes the KSP forum". From Haveli's perspective we're the couch the tenants left behind when they left the apartment. 1. Agreed. 2. Disagreed. I couldn't care less about clouds, volumetric or not, or pretty exhaust plumes. Colorable parts? Sure. A consistent part-art style (think what the base game or restock offer compared to the *original* parts were, even before 0.90), definitely. But leave anything beyond the bare minimum to modders. 3. I feel like that "actual progression, not just sandbox with random missions" statement's too vague and subjective. I, for one, don't want to be railroaded into a particular form of progression. Mile wide and an inch deep, indeed. And I remember being told that Windows 10 would be the last operating system they'd release, everything going forwards would just be updates. I'm running hardware that was a year old when 10 came out, and doesn't support 11. Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written. I was referring to the obligation for support, not the obligation "to host a free forum". You've got a major attitude problem and assumption issues, m80. Don't be mad at Nate, be mad at T2 for imposing dumb repurposed bovine waste on the entire IG team. The buck stops at the desk of T2's CEO, not Nate's.

Its not for me to decide where I fall on that spectrum. But I will say that most good managers are also good people, because being a good person is a prerequisite for being a good manager. If they appear to be a 'good manager', but are a bad person, then they're simply only good at pretending to be a good manager. Unfortunately, our society tends to reward those types more and more often than anyone else. Nepobabies constantly failing upwards, while cravenly leading their teams from the rear. I think you're underestimating things like lobbying to rewrite laws that advantage them over their potential victims, insider trading, etc. There's an entire range of different forms of macroeconomic manipulation that you can accomplish with enough of Daddy's Money, a few bought-off senators and congressmen, intimidated regulatory agents, and a complete and total lack of a moral compass. That doesn't really prove your point (and actually proves mine). The airplane was almost certainly a drop in the bucket compared to their expenses. It was almost certainly bought as an actual asset, and served as one. For an expanding business (especially in the era before the 07/08 financial crisis), a plane wasn't (and in many cases still isn't) simply a luxury item. The luxury aspect isn't as important as being able to send your dealmakers anywhere they may be required without having to worry about the hazards of more publicly-accessible airline travel (lost luggage, cramped seating, non-weather-related cancellations or delays caused by the airline, etc.). A company jet also serves as proof of success by the very act of owning it, which can help seal a deal. In other words, pre-buyout, the Marsh team likely saw selling the plane not only like looking for a dollar in the couch cushion to pay a $100 debt, but more importantly, equivalent to selling an important source of securing future revenue (IDK, probably like selling the car you use to commute to work). Post-buyout, all that the new ownership cared about was looting the house of all possible valuables before burning it down for insurance money. The spare dollar wouldn't have made a difference to the previous owners, but the new ones can leverage it to help buy a mansion to loot and burn next year. That's more of a grey area. Either way, they'd probably get blindsided by a layoff, but being laid off by the owners who are doing very well while their puppets get golden parachutes is just kicking them while they're down. Nate obviously had his hands tied by the suits. He ain't blameless, but there's far more blame that should be getting flung at the nameless and faceless suits that imposed repurposed bovine waste rules like "reuse KSP1 code, and don't talk to any of its devs, current or former". As for Dakota, he deserves none of the blame. He was even more hamstrung by virtue of being lower on the totem pole. Riddle me this, batman: I never bought KSP2. I did, however, buy KSP1, along with both DLCs. I.E., outside of EA. Am I supposed to be up excrements creek without a paddle, too? Because I expect continuing support for my purchase from whoever owns the IP. That's not an unreasonable expectation to have. When does the obligation end, then? And how was it communicated to potential customers? It really doesn't. All it shows is that T2 included this place as part of a package deal. We're likely just an ant in a box of bananas to them.

As long as you're using academic-adjacent words such as "lexicographically" and "combinatorial problem", allow me to drop another word frequently used in academia: "Non-trivial". If that doesn't convey any meaning to you, why don't you try filling your request yourself, and you'll quickly learn the meaning of the term.
