A proposed unit of measurement - the OTE (pronounced "oat")
GreeningGalaxy replied to Norcalplanner's topic in The Lounge
I think 1000 OTEs on the launchpad is also known as the new record holder for the largest artificial non-nuclear explosion. But I like the bowl'o'porridge unit. Unless you use mod fuel tanks or at least tweakscale, I don't think most people's computers would be able to handle 1000 OTEs' worth of fuel tanks. But then again, I've never seen how fast KSP runs on an overpowered gaming box, mainly because I don't have an overpowered gaming box, I have a laptop. -
Make a wish... and have it horribly corrupted!
GreeningGalaxy replied to vexx32's topic in Forum Games!
Wow, I think the meta-oxygen jar would make a superb SCP! Your toe has been inflated into four spatial dimensions, giving it infinite volume from a 3D perspective. Unfortunately, the inertia also exposes the rest of your 3-dimensional body to 4-dimensional space, which isn't very nice to the matter composing you. I wish this building had more pianos so I didn't have to wait for the one downstairs to free up. -
Unscheduled Destructive Lithocapture (UDLC) is the most appropriate term if you collide with the surface of an object from a hyperbolic flyby, I believe. Not to be confused with Hardware-Assisted Lithobraking, which is lining up your periapsis so it's a few meters below the surface and using wheel brakes to drop your apoapsis a bit when you bounce off. Hardware-Assisted Lithocapture from a hyperbolic trajectory is probably impossible in all or most locales, but I could be wrong about that. yeah, I totally made all that up. Edit: Gosh diddly darn it, I gone got ninja'd again

What is your favorte Joolian moon? (quick survey thing)
GreeningGalaxy replied to HafCoJoe's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Vall reminds me a little of the lake ice on Lake Michigan that forms in the winter. The lake ice is notably not as blue as Vall (it looks a lot like the surface walk set from Europa Report, actually) but it has the same kind of flat-areas-and-hills configuration. I wonder if those hills are hollow like the ones on the lake ice- that would be an interesting mechanic for KSP! Come down too hard (or with too heavy a vehicle) in the mountains, and you go straight through the ice and fall until you hit water! Which would require some way of making the terrain destructible, which would either be really hard to do and/or would only work on quantum supercomputers. Yeah, nevermind. I still think making some way of drilling through the ice and deploying a submarine probe would be incredibly awesome, though. -

Hype Kerman. Fell under the ice on Vall.

True. And no, OSX is not even close to Linux. Sure, it runs a somewhat similar kernel, but the entire point of Linux is that it's open source, and OSX is basically the current gold standard in the world of not being open source. The user below me can see at least one windmill or landmark structure from their nearest window.
-
Whoa now. Let's pause for a moment and not do that.
-
Yep! Dres's canyon is an outpost of the Kraken. Rovers roll uphill of their own accord and, if allowed to reach the edge of a terrain polygon, usually explode. As of 0.23, that is. It's also really hard to get to on account of being tiny. Gravity's not high enough to make landing an issue, though. The user below me uses a version of Linux besides Ubuntu.

[FORUM GAME] Rate the avatar of the person above you.
GreeningGalaxy replied to mincespy's topic in Forum Games!
Everyone knows the HypeTrain is a HypeSteam powered engine. I'm personally for upgrading to a HypeNuclear powered maglev, but leading minds in the field aren't sure if thermal HypeReactors are even a thing yet. If they are, though, Hype-powered flight is just around the corner. 10/10 for dragons in Starwhip's avatar! -
Banned for large font in sig.

Ubisoft... are they the ones who made up bullsh[ ] excuses for not making it possible to play as a woman in Assassin's Creed? Yeah, there are a lot of crap companies out there like that. I'm not really keeping a comprehensive list of every awful company ever, because there are probably too many to count. But I mean, yes, Ubisoft sounds/is terrible.

Im making a big music playlist for ksp
GreeningGalaxy replied to TheScareCake!'s topic in The Lounge
*strangled gasp*THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE HOMESTUCK MUSI- *pant pant* ok. right. I listen to this a lot when I play KSP: http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/the-felt It's kind of more... timey than spacey, I guess? So it might not be the very best addition to the playlist. It DEFINITELY needs more Europa Report though: AND for some reason I don't see Gravity in this thread? Gravity soundtrack is totally the best thing to listen to while playing KSP. Seriously though. But once that gets old, there's plenty of Homestuck that works much better than The Felt IMO- Savior of the Dreaming Dead- Lifdoff- Green Ghost- Orchid Horror- Calamity- (this one omg so much yes)Infinity Mechanism- Gold Pilot- A Taste for Adventure- Stargaze- Moonsetter- Planetarium- Terraform- Okay, okay. I should really stop fangirling out over Homestuck music here, but it's all just so great! :3 I hope everyone recognizes the incredible self-restraint I'm exercising here to keep from posting more Homestuck tracks than that, because there are a LOT more that I love to listen to with KSP / just because they sound cool and spacey. Some very good non-Homestuck stuff I really like to listen to while playing KSP: November by Max Richter- On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter- Time by Hans Zimmer- Soundtrack from other games might be bad form, but I just adore the Solar 2 soundtrack: I'm in love with everything this guy puts out, but the vast majority of it isn't on youtube. Absolutely perfect KSP soundtrack, though. https://soundcloud.com/2-byte In particular, check out the Eusebeia tracks (Title Theme, Exploring the Facility (sample) and Ellen's Theme) because they are gorgeous. And of course, I firmly believe that it's impossible to have anything negative happen while listening to World of Goo. Although that belief has caused me to listen to it mostly in the middle of my big depression periods, so I can't listen to it anymore without feeling really sad. Anyway, I hope at least one of these tracks is what's being looked for here! ~~EDIT~~ Sigh. I wish I'd seen that BEFORE I posted. Just ignore the albums in there, I guess. Since I posted a metric crapton of songs there, here's the ones that I really think should be in the playlist if you're looking to narrow down: -Europa Report. Doesn't matter which one, but at least one. -This one from Gravity- -Calamity from Homestuck -Stargaze from Homestuck -November by Max Richter -Planetarium from Homestuck -Terraform from Homestuck Is that better?? I hope so. -
It would require people to stop liking their games. Which is impossible, because although they do so in the stupidest way possible, they do put out some rather good ones. The worst companies in capitalism (besides the obvious answer of ALL the companies) are not the ones that sell bad products, because those just don't get any customers. The worst ones are the ones that sell good or absolutely necessary products, but make you suffer excruciating pain in order to get them. See: EA, banks, the entire USA health care system, oil companies (which sort of fall into this list, but are mostly evil for a whole different bunch of reasons) and cell phone/internet service providers.

DmnTeenagrs The perfect social network for people 40 and over! Allows you to photograph teens using social media in public and post condescending, derisive, and conservative comments lamenting the low intelligence of the new generation, and making it clear how the only REAL communication is talking face-to-face in person. Oh, and writing letters. And talking on the phone, as long as it's not a (gasp) CELL phone. Email's okay, too, just not when those DmnTeenagrsâ„¢ are using it! See, it's completely obvious how all technology is corrupting our youth, and with DmnTeenagrs, you too can beat the same dead horse for all to see! Download today!

A proposed unit of measurement - the OTE (pronounced "oat")
GreeningGalaxy replied to Norcalplanner's topic in The Lounge
Steel-cut OTEs: OTEs brought to orbit with no hardware loss, as on an SSTO. Quick OTEs: OTEs launched on a multi-stage launch vehicle Instant OTEmeal: All orange tanks explode immediately after the vessel loads. Okay yeah, that doesn't really make sense. -
Staplr Allows you to staple notes to your friends' virtual bulletin boards. The notes can't be removed easily, and doing so requires users to remove and replace four keys from their keyboards to simulate the agony of trying to pull staples from a bulletin board without a staple remover.

Don't like hard facts standing in your way? Circumvent them. At least until physics notices what you did and pulls the plug/self-consistency principle on you.

Would then you sick get die and. What if I stopped posting in all forum games I'm participating in right now?

Banned for planning colonies. All colonies should be unplanned and the result of not having enough fuel to take off and go home again. Edit: Also! Banned because my avatar shows up if you google-image search "alcubierre bubble"

GreeningGalaxy replied to vexx32's topic in Forum Games!
Your crush doesn't hate you. Your crush is entirely ambivalent about you. Aggressively ambivalent, in fact. I wish for a million-lumen flashlight. -
Then you would form Jebilldiah Kerman, who would probably suffer from severe anxiety but would be a great pilot. What if it got cold and snowed on every summer solstice, then returned to normal the next day?

Then you would dluow uoy nehT What if you sealed an entire house inside a massive solid glass block?

Granted. You now own a GPU designed only for quantum computers, which would of course be completely incompatible with a conventional computer. I wish my laptop battery was a fully-shielded RTG powerful enough to run the computer.
