Just Jim Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone, I'm running behind, sorry. I had to deal with a sick car all day, so I didn't get much done. Turned out to be a bad fuel sensor. But they can't order the part until Monday, so like it or not, I'm stuck here all day tomorrow, and I'll try and wrap this next chapter up. 10 hours ago, DarkOwl57 said: No, I would be that guy. Oh yes, you have a hella lotta fans. Fun fact: When I came on here, I heard the name 'Just Jim' on a post made by I think either Draconiator or someone else... Anyways, as soon as I heard the name, I knew 'Dang... This guy is like a KSP GOD! (Sorta like Scott Manley or something) and I knew I had to find a way to know him! And here I am now, about 4 months later, talking to the man, the myth, the legend himself. You are probably the most powerful person on the entire forums! (Besides the Squad staff of course (Don't smite me )) and yes, it may be hard to wrap around it now, but trust me: You'll learn about how epic you are soon enough Really? Wow! I don't know what to say, except thank you! But I have to be honest, if anyone on here is most powerful, it's my buddy @Kuzzter. He's been doing this a lot longer than me, and also does a great job keeping an eye on the fan fiction area and keeping us all on topic... mostly... . 9 hours ago, Buzz light fear said: Is there going to be a magic boulder showdown between green and red. ( fight, fight, fight) I haven't really made up my mind exactly how it will play out, but I think yes, there will be some sort of showdown. That's actually a good term for it... a magic boulder showdown Edited November 20, 2016 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketSquid Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) They have the same impact tolerance as I-beams, girders, and structural panels... Time to make a giant hammer-mobile to smash them. Edit: Hammermobile tests so far have been a resounding success.

DualDesertEagle Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 As things went completely out of control the need to fix alot of them came up, which meant I had no time to read on. Now I finally have some time again and I'm glad I didn't miss much on one side but at the same time disappointed to see that not much has happened story-wise, which u, Jim, are clearly not to blame for tho. I've also read the thing about ur misplaced spine, sounds pretty nasty. And I'm stuck in this bloody mess called Germany again coz things went absolutely bonkers in the US. Anyway, I'm hoping I can get a new computer soon so I can at least kill the time I have spend here flying some new air- spacecraft I already have in mind.

Alchemist Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) You know you are on a very nerdy forum, when a bunch of people starts seriously comparing who is more introverted. A party? What's that? A crowd of people and loud music? No, thanks, I better go work on a spacecraft But that's how it really is with fame in such medium - you often get better results focusing on what you are creating, not wasting resources on showing off. Ahh, if only it worked this way in the so-called "normal" world. Then it would make much more real sense.

Just Jim Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well, I'm running behind, as usual. Little things kept getting in the way today. Still, I got most all of the photoshopping done. Here's a rather mean teaser screenshot... Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the different approaches we see each writer doing with whatever it is they face in their game. Sure, the platform (Kerbal Space Program) may be the same but I love looking at the differences in craft, character treatment, and even the situational gags that each one has. I also want to thank @Just Jim and @Kuzzter for encouraging me to take a step into the world of serial story-telling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) OK, so I ended up playing (not) fun with cars most of the day. The verdict isn't great, but we'll survive. As for the story, I did manage to get most of the chapter finished. But honestly, I'm not happy with it. It's just too short, and feels incomplete. So I'm going to go ahead and merge the next two chapters back into one. Screenshots will be easy, and I already thought of a fun way to bridge them together.

I'm just doing my best to jump over it. The funny part is I kept saying this wasn't going to turn into a Lovecraft story, but it did anyway.... more or less. If there is an afterlife, I hope H.P. is amused at how he managed to creep into this, despite my best efforts. That's just his style.... sneak in when you least expect it. 8 hours ago, adsii1970 said: Exactly this!

Buzz light fear Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) @Just Jim take your time a good author doesn't work well under pressure so do a good job and don't cave to the pressure fight back like a rocket engines combustion chamber holds it and controls the pressure use it to your advantage cliffhangers leave everyone wanting more.

0111narwhalz Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Oh, yeah! In fact, they can survive falls from arbitrary distances, provided they land correctly. Facefirst seems to be the most reliable landing position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Ahh... brings me back to the time I left a (near-literal) cliffhanger with Jeb falling off the top of the KSC flagpole. A lovely moment ruined by three pages of-- "Ehh, I dropped him off the VAB once and he was fine." "Oh yeah? I dropped him from 3km up and he was BETTER THAN EVER!" "You just need to land them on their heads." "Hey, if he fired a gun downward would it be enough to make him hover?" Good times, good times.
