Special case: it takes a lot to meaningfully hurt most Xans, right?

[chaotic skies]

I've honestly wondered why all the Xan's dont just overthrow the rest of the playerbase or something at some point, but... *shrugs*

[NJW2000]

It wouldn't really help his longterm objectives.

[chaotic skies]

Ah, okay.

Does anyone know what a goo computer is?  Because I have no idea (as usual).

Organic, very adaptable computers discovered on the anomalous planetoid. Used in items such as the Universal Limb Collector. Also component of the autocolony central AI system.

Thanks.

Your friendly neighborhood organic encyclopedia, at your service.

Anyone know any good podcasts? I'm going to have one long day of driving tomorrow and I want something to listen too.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Anyone know a good podcast I can listen to on my drive between states on tuesday?

Well, if you're wanting something vaguely journalistic, This American Life is usually pretty interesting. Each episode centers around a loose theme, and consists of three "acts".

There's also Serial, a podcast produced by This American Life in which they cover a single story in depth over the course of every season. So far, I've only listened to most of Season Two (about Bo Burgdahl's captivity and the associated scandal), but what I've heard so far is pretty damn good.

RadioLab covers all sorts of interesting stuff, from news stories to historical stuff to new tech developments, and if you haven't already checked it out you really should.

For stuff related to technology and the internet, there's a podcast called Reply All. It's not as fascinating as a lot of the other ones, but it's still entertaining.

If you want something a little more dramatic, The Black Tapes podcast (paranormal investigation stuff, but not excessively cheesy) is alright. I would avoid looking up much about it if you plan on listening, though. You'll enjoy it more that way.

If you like history, Stuff You Missed in History Class and You Must Remember This are both both fascinating. You Must Remember this in particular devoted an entire season to Charles Manson, his "family", and the associated murders, the entirety of which I binge-listened to in one evening.

Alternatively, there's Welcome to Nightvale (hah right like you haven't listened to that aready),

or I can thoroughly thoroughly reccomend getting an audiobook / disk of Good Omens . That's lasted me like four car trips so far, and it's brilliant

[piecewise]

I listened to Sword and Scale on my way down here, and shall listen to it again on the way back up.

Sorry about the lack of posts these last few days, I've been being kept busy and by the time I get the opportunity to reply I'm too tired to really do much.

I am working on something in the background though, which I hope will be done relatively soon. A few people have seen it already.

Yo, anyone in the infirmary who is trying to go on a mission is getting kicked into their mission threads right now. I got no time to run you through the infirmary for 10 turns or whatever while people wait on you. Either decline your mission invitations or get into those threads ASAP

[Xantalos]

Right, imma turn down that mission invitation thing then, what I'm looking for's more important to me.
