Superfluous J

I never said anything about the movies being important to see. Just that a significant portion of people, if you mention you haven't seen it, will say you should. Schindler's List was the movie that started this whole thing in my head. Jenny was Princess Buttercup. Er I mean Robin Wright. Most everybody else in the movie was background so of course nobody remembers them. Except the "real" people but I don't think you'll give me credit for remembering that both Kennedy and Nixon were in it I thought that was the point. It was a fun movie with lots of pop culture references. Ferngully in space. I could add the water one after it because there's no way I'll waste a 2nd set of 3 hours in that IP.

I have 2 work laptops. One is older, on Windows 10, and among other nice things has 2 video ports (HDMI and VGA) so I can easily use 2 monitors without any fuss. The other is Windows 11, and spends 99.9% of the time turned off and the other 0.01% of the time booted up once a month to log onto the network so the big corporation I work for can check a checkbox somewhere that says I didn't lose it. Seems a lot of my coworkers are in a similar boat, so they told us we should return one of the laptops and just keep the better one to do our work. Now, their definition of "better" is different than mine, so I had to go through several loops to be allowed to keep my Windows 10 laptop, and return instead the Windows 11 laptop that I don't want. Then 3 days later, they go "okay your laptop is really old, we're going to send you a new one. When you get it, return that old dinosaur to us." Seeing the thread we're in, you can guess what the new laptop is like.

One good thing about the Heat Death of the forum, tagging me has a chance of guessing correctly @Jacke I don't know who actually plays this so.... @Nuke?

I'm going to bookmark this post so I'll never have to say this again. I'm not defending anybody. I'm stating a fact.

So it's brighter than it was! HYPE (yes I know why this is different)

I hate to hope too much about anything (not about KSP2... just in general) but I'm kinda hoping they dump every buggy system (maybe with a toggle to enable/disable them) and whatever half-baked modding API they happen to have, and call it done. Then maybe modders can make it playable and fun in various ways.

I won't comment on which ones, but a couple of those are really bad movies that are really good BECAUSE they're really bad. I will comment on Primer though. I found it really really boring. The time travel stuff was good because it was so thought out, and the plot was good too, but the actual minute-by-minute watching was never actually enjoyable. While I agree with this almost entirely, if that means I lose Strange New Worlds all bets are off. I'll watch Discovery over again in its entirety (even if it means I'll need a bucket in front of me) if it means they make another season of SNW. JMS pitched B9 to ... whoever was doing Trek. They turned him down, then "coincidentally" came up with this "entirely different" show called Deep Space 9 in the Star Trek Universe. Frankly I think he just doesn't want to burn any bridges.

My wife and I have this exchange sometimes. I usually follow it up with "It's not my fault that reality has a negative bias." But as has been stated several times, being negative is not fighting. Be as negative as you want to be. We all want to be at least a little negative right now. Eeesh who overcharged you $10 more than they should have? Or do you live somewhere where $60 is semi-equivalent to the $50 it costs in the US?

Fair. I won't edit the OP but will happily change it to "owed more than we were given"

I think this is one the major disparities between what I'll call the 2 major factions* on this forum. One group thinks the developers owe us a lot and their not delivering on that is a major fault. The other group technically agrees with that but has been burned so many times that they don't expect anything from other people, and just accept that they won't get what they want. *It may be that there are 3 factions, and the faction I think I'm in is actually just me, and there's a whole other faction that actually thinks everything went swimmingly.

I already own Juno (Played it a lot less than I did KSP2) so anything that makes it more attractive to me will be welcome.

When in flight, the contract window will put check marks on everything as you complete them. If you got all the check marks checked at the same time but did not complete the contract, that's a bug. Hit F11, and somewhere in those menus you can force the contract complete. It's "cheating" if you're really strict on cheating, but cheating to fix a bug in my opinion isn't cheating. If one of the check marks doesn't check even though you think it should, take a screen shot and post that here and one of us can probably tell you why it didn't get checked.

When SpaceBase DF-9 burned me, I decided to learn a different lesson from it, because in today's gaming world it's hard to actually avoid Early Access altogether. The lesson I learned then (and stick to today, and think it's a major reason I don't hate everything gaming related) is to purchase a game based on how it is right now, not how anybody says it will be in the future. Then EA becomes a huge boon for you, because you bought a game you wanted then, and thought was worth the cost then, and at the VERY WORST you got that game and no more. This whole "I'm going to invest in the future of this game" thing is bull, as we've all seen demonstrated in KSP2. You're not an investor. Your opinion doesn't matter. They don't owe you anything and thinking they do is just going to lead to sadness and increased investment in antacid. Oh and regarding Small indie publishers with great communication with their community, I'll be frank and say that doesn't matter one whip either. It's nice, and I prefer it to not having it, but in the end a small indie publisher with great communication with the community can take the money and run just as easily as anybody else.

I'll go so far as to say it's a terrible idea and any attempt at a future KSP should boldly state "We're not doing multiplayer and we're not sorry."

You got us. We were in on it all along. High five everybody, another clean sweep of a game community!

Ahhh student debt. It's a miracle.

No there are no generators on the modules. The closest thing to a generator like that is the Fuel Cells, that burn LOX and generate EC.

Wherein the problem lies. They wanted to keep KSP "realistic-ish" in that way. As a simulator, I agree that realism is important. As a game, I would much prefer to be able to just "jump" to other systems using some interesting but totally unrealistic method, like your Joolian Trojan (Troojan?) asteroid idea. Or just make it so you have to reach a specific point in the system and then initiate the "Jump," or even better have to build an interplanetary station (Hello!? Colony!) that served as a huge jumpgate or something. Yes 90% of the forum would lose their... uh anyway they'd freak out but 90% of the forum is freaking out at any given time so whatever.

Ssssh number don't listen to them! You're special and awesome and we loveses our preciousssssss number!

I expect most of the people in charge at T2 would be more like "HarvesteR? Like the farm machinery? What does that have to do with a Star Wars game? This game is about Star Wars, right?"

It's almost like rep is just this number that doesn't matter!

What is this thread - or every other thread on this forum - if not EXACTLY that? "HarvesteR could have done better!" Is this the same HarvesteR who didn't want to add QOL features for fear of ruining the "magic" of the game? Or the one whose orbit lines were so wobbly they challenged (but did not surpass) the rockets' wobbliness? Or the one with terrible texture and lore choices (like fuel tanks literally found on the side of the road)? Or maybe the HervesteR who pitched to us The BarnTM and the idea that Kerbal XP gains should grant ISP boosts? Note: I'm not the one who said all of that above, that was people on this forum who were just as mad at KSP as people here for the past few years were mad at KSP2. At least KSP survived long enough to reach some kind of finality in spite of it. I loved KSP. I like KSP2. I could not code either. As time goes on, I wonder if ANYONE can - at least to the standards most of us would prefer.

I couldn't give this post 10 likes so I went back and gave a like to the last 10 posts of yours that I hadn't already given a like to That this isn't already a thing blows my mind. I understand why it wasn't that way in KSP1 because by the time it was obvious it was needed it would have probably taken a whole game rewrite... but the whole point of KSP2 was a whole game rewrite!

Not to mention horribly pixelated graphics.

That's a shame. It's always worked for me!
