I've had a lot of story ideas, done a lot of world-building, but not a whole lot of writing. Best of luck! I can relate to that - I'll go around daydreaming all the worldbuilding and story, spend hours writing a python script to verify the expected performance of a fictional starship, and then sit down to write and nothing comes out. It has gotten to the point where I have another promising KSP story in progress, but I dare not start posting it until I have several chapters done to ensure there is a decent chance I will actually finish it. I hope you continue! It is a very interesting concept. 12 hours ago, Nuke said: is that what it takes to have an actual job in 2025? no wonder there are so many homeless people. To be fair to the global economy, I did graduate into an oversaturated market with a mediocre GPA, no internships, pretty much no preparation, and with the only notable thing I did being a failed CubeSat. But yeah, it is quite rough in general now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have indeed continued, to the point where I am getting a bit of peer review from some friends. Great suggestions all around, and I've not run out of words to say yet!

AlamoVampire Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ive been taking a break from Elite Dangerous because the grind for a certain engineer to get to unlock status was sucking the fun out. But last night I tripped over a video that grabbed my attention. There is an “expedited” path of sorts. Only 1 problem. I must travel across 22,000 light years to get to where this “expedited” path is. My ship as i currently have it is capable of nearly 72 light years in a single jump. Boosted by a white dwarf i can hit nearly 110 +-, and boosted by a neutron star i can hit around 300. Im looking at north of 300 jumps to reach Colonia (Shirarta Dezhra >>> Colonia) or a bit less by way of the Neutron Highway but that damages my ship every single boosted jump. Im thinking of heading out to Colonia to do the engineer thing. Wont be until tonight as sleep calls to me atm lol. Wish me luck not going mad along the way lol. 112902232025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuke Posted Wednesday at 10:17 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:17 AM (edited) trying to level up gunhead in the forever winter is really hard. being a robot, he is the only character who cant use medkits. he has the highest base health but no way to re-generate during a run. only thing that works is combat avoidant runs to the evac point, and then camping anything that comes by. meanwhile old man hit level 21 just recovering gunhead's stuff. the 20mm anti tank gun is awesome. also i think i gave lordoss lung cancer, though im not sure if lordoss has lungs.

Kimera Industries Posted Saturday at 06:17 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:17 PM (edited) Today definitely counts as "funny/interesting" for me because it's my birthday! Don't worry, none of you are obligated to get me anything. "But today is my birthday. And it's a special one, because you told me... you once told me that by the time you came back we might be the same age. And today I'm the same age you were when you left." Of course, I'm not that old, yet. Edited Saturday at 06:17 PM by Kimera Industries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoVampire Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM I had something interesting occur to me around 4am. Yesterday as you I went to renfaire. This morning i woke up at 4am and had this overwhelming feeling that i had to go back to the faire today. I have a season pass to the renfaire so its not a problem to go again. I intend to go at least once each weekend all season. With 2 exceptions. Im wanting to go twice during the spring break week where faire is open friday, saturday, and sunday and then twice on closing weekend. So back to this morning. I had no intention last night when i went to bed of going back today. Then this overwhelming feeling that i had to. The only other time i felt this kind of overwhelming need to go somewhere was the day my mother died. I had this inexplicable need to go one more time that day to see her. Had i not gone when i did id had never would have either seen her again or been able to forgive myself for ignoring that feeling. So here i sit waiting for the gates to open in just over an hour. 084103022025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago So while at renfaire yesterday i shot a 30 pound draw weight recurve (about 25 arrows worth) and my fingertips still feel messed up lol. They are recovering, but for now its a funky sensation. 093503032025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
